Emily leaned against a locker in the doctor's changing room. She broke out into tears and slowly crumbled to the ground. She banged her head against the locker and ripped off her IV.

"I'm sick of this!" she screamed. She slammed her fist against the locker. "What did I ever do to you!" she yelled at God. "Why can't I have anyone or anything that makes me happy? Why do all the people I love have to suffer? Why do I have to be-," she choked on her tears a she finished "all alone."

Michael stood at the entrance of the locker room and saw Emily crying. He wanted to go over to her, but he couldn't. He was too scared though, and all he could do was turn around quietly. Elizabeth was at the nurse's station when she saw Michael come into view.

"Hey Michael," she said smiling.

"Elizabeth, I need you to do me a favor." He showed her the flowers that he and his dad had bought for Emily. "Can you give these to Emily? I think she's in the changing room and it said women only." Michael sighed. I know I'm not supposed to lie, but it's only a half lie. Emily wouldn't mind if I only half lied.

"Sure, honey. That's very sweet of you to get her these."

Michael shrugged. "It's no big deal. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day but Mom's taking me and Morgan skiing so I thought I'd give them to her now." Michael looked at the elevator where Leticia stood. "I have to go, but thanks."

"I can go get her-."

"No, that's OK. Thanks!" he exclaimed running towards Leticia.

Elizabeth shook her head confused. "Mel, I'll be right back." She said going into the locker room. "Em," she called when she heard sobbing. She saw the card Michael had made and picked it up. He must have found her. Poor kid. She saw Emily crumbled on the floor. "Em," she said hurring over to her. Emily looked up tears smothering her face.

"I'm fine. Can you just go, please? Really I'm fine."

Elizabeth stroked her hair. "Fine, but you're not working tonight. I'm taking you out for a little girl time. I'll call Sam too and we'll just go out and party all night." She brushed Emily's hair away from her face. "OK?" Emily went to protest. "No buts we'll leave if you get too tired."

Emily sighed. "There's no arguing with you when you get like this."

Elizabeth tilted her head to the side. "What can I say, I care about you. Besides I could use a break from home. Cameron and Lucky have been driving me up a wall."

Emily laughed. "All right. But I got to find something to wear."

"I'll grab something from my apartment. It's just Sam and me. I'll go call Sam and before I forget those are for you from a very special admirer," she said smiling. Elizabeth hurried out to make the arrangements.

Emily looked at the beautiful light pinkish peach roses. There was a card in Michael's hand next to them. She felt one last tear fall as she read the beautiful poem inside. She called Leticia's cell.

"Is Michael there?" she asked wiping away the remaining tears. "Hey sweetie. I just wanted to say I love you too."

"Well I love you too."

"OK well have fun OK?" she asked trying to hold it together until they said good bye.

"I will, but Em you'll be there when I get back right?"

Emily was caught off guard for a moment. "Yea of course, sweetie. I might even have a surprise for you. And be careful on the slopes."

"Come on Emily I never fall down."

"OK Mr. Confidence, just be careful."

"All right," he groaned. "Bye, mom's here."

"Bye. Have fun."

Michael eyes fixated on the man next to his mother. "Alcazar," he said with as much disgust as he could muster.

Michael threw his stuff on his bed when they got up to the cabin. I can't believe she brought him here. She promised no work no cell phones just Morgan, her, and me. He pulled out his Harry Potter Book from his suitcase there was a note from Emily tucked inside.

'I know that you've been waiting all day to see what happens next and so here it is, but don't read too far without me. OK? Sweet dreams.- Emily.'

"Michael it's your dad!" yelled Carly.

Michael ran out into the living room and grabbed the phone. He saw his mom and Alcazar laughing on the couch. She looked really happy.

"Hey dad."

"Hey buddy. I just wanted to wish you a good night."

"It's only seven dad," he said in that "duh" tone that every parent hates.

"It is? It's so quiet with everyone gone I forgot what time it was. I miss you buddy."

"I miss you too. Why don't you call Emily?"

Carly's ears perked up.

"That's all right. I'm really tired. Night, buddy."

"Night."

Sonny hung up brandy glass in hand and sat down on his chair to mull the day's occurrences over.
