Jason sat behind his desk in silence, his mind replaying everything Elizabeth had said. He sighed and grabbed a coke sitting down and looking at his desk everything was in order as usual. Jason words had come back to him 'when he needed her most.' It seemed he always needed her and she was there but he wasn't there when she needed him. Jason got up from his desk and opened the door looking at her desk. She had been in that same spot for ten years and never once complained or ask for an office of her own. He looked around every Admin looked at him with distain. Wasn't any worse then what he felt himself? He found her in the filing room sitting in an old leather chair looking out the window. She was deep and thought and he felt bad to disturb her. She finally sighed and shook her head.

-Nothing but a waste.-

-I don't or I've never thought so.-

She looked at him. He could tell she wasn't ready to deal with him again.

-Elizabeth I'm sorry.-

She rolled her eyes.

-I mean it.-

-I'm sure you do.-

-Are you always like this-

-Tens years and you don't know.- She got up for the chair and put her shoes back on.

-What does that mean-

-It means you only see me when you need something done. All other times I'm background noise.-

-That's not true.- He began searching for words.

-Please don't stand there and lie to me. It would be even more insulting then the last ten years here.-

Jason sighed and walked away. Elizabeth flopped back into the chair. Later she knocked on Sam McCall's office door.

-Yeah come in.-

-Sam.-

-Yes Elizabeth I'm glad you hear there are somethings we need to go over.-

-Your right.-

-First I'll need you to do a few things for me.-

-Yes and I'll need you to do a few thing for me to.-

-Really what-

-Shut up and pay attention. I've given my notice and I will be leaving in two weeks. You now have 10 days learn 10 years worth of what I know. That means you take that smug college girl look of your face, stop looking down nose at me, who's actually worked for a living and maybe you'll learn something. Clear.-

Everyone new it, Elizabeth Webber wasn't called the ball buster for nothing. She was Jason Morgan right hand and she ran Morgan Securities with an iron fist. No one got hired or fired without her say so and if you dared fuck with her you never worked in New York again.

-Crystal.-

-Good, if you pay attention it won't be so painful. Now you can get back to doing nothing I'll need to write up a few things for you.-

-Okay.-

She sat at her desk and listen to him on the phone with a client. When he didn't want to deal with is life he dove into his work. Finally he got and grabbed his leather jacket, she watch him go by as he mumble.

-I'm going to see my dad.-

-Fine.-

Alan Morgan sat in his office on his day off going over ex-rays. When Jason walked in a flopped down on his sofa. Alan didn't say anything he just watched his son obviously upset about something. Courtney no doubt that woman had a talent for yanking Jason chain and it always ended badly.

-She's leaving me.-

-Again? This shouldn't be a surprise son.-

-Elizabeth is leaving dad not Courtney.-

-Oh? Oh, my goodness please tell me you took it well and didn't make an ass out of yourself.-

Jason graoned.

-What do you say-

-I said I can't believe your doing this to me when I need you most damn you.-

-Jason even if you are mad that wasn't a very nice thing to say.-

-I was angry dad.-

-What did she say-

-Allot.-

-Jason-

-She just told me how ungrateful I was, how I take her for granted and how she thinks she wasted her life.-

-I don't think that what she said.- Alan eyes his son.

-No but that was the result.-

-Why did she stay-

-I asked her that.-

-And.-

-She's in love with me.-

-Oh, oh dear these last 10 years must have been a nightmare for her.-

-Nightmare-

-Jason remembers what its like for you watching that women go back to Jax every time. Remember what it felt like to show her how you feel and get nothing from her in return. Now put yourself in Elizabeth's place, a nightmare.-

Jason got up from the sofa and left without saying good bye to his dad. He was back in the office when he heard her voice.

-Oh god.-

-I'm so sick of the sight of you I can't even begin to tell you.-

-Well your visits never stop being a source of joy and happiness for me either.-

-I just don't understand why he won't fire you-

-I just don't understand why you just don't ask him to.-

-You know what...-

-Courtney what are you doing I thought you where in the Caribbean with Jax.- Jason snapped.

-I was he's being petulant again.-

-I doubt it was him.- Elizabeth said.

-What did you say-

-Me nothing, I'm just background noise.-

-What ever, so here I am I don't know why we just don't end this and get married.-

-I think I'm going to throw up now.- Elizabeth said.

Jason could see the pain and anger in her eyes as she walked by. How many of these forgive me Jason conversations did she listen to. How they must have hurt her so badly and she put up with if for ten years. She watched them come in happy after spending the night together, she watches them have three engagement parties she even planned them. She listened to him go on and on about how happy Courtney made him. She also had to deal with him snapping and pissed off when Courtney ran back to Jax. Faced his wrath when she had to be the one to tell him to move on. Nightmare.

-Courtney now's not the best time.-

-What! She's seem to be good for taking calls tell her to and lets go to my place.-

-No.-

-Jason why are you being like this-

-I have three big deals coming and I don't have time to deal with you. Sorry guess you're going to have go back to the Islands.-

-If you want to be that way fine. Bye.-

Courtney walked out of his office in a huff. This was surprise to Elizabeth, when he didn't want to deal with something he often lost himself in Courtney this was new.

-Elizabeth.-

-Yes.-

-Have a seat.-

She sat down.

-It's been a long day.-

-Hmm.-

-Every time I start to say something, you remind of how much of a jackass I sound. I ask myself when did I become the kid you've been saddled with? Truth is I'm not and I haven't been acting like I'm not and I'm sorry for that. I didn't have to make this day hard for you but I did. I should have understood and I didn't, I should have thrown you a party instead I've bitch and moan about how this affects me. You've had genuine concerns about your life and your work I haven't supported you in anything. I assumed you got the same satisfaction out of working here as I did. Not realizing that you couldn't because this isn't your dream its mine. My success means nothing to you because it isn't yours, it never was. I know you stayed out of loyalty and… I, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.-

Elizabeth smiled the said.

-You Jason Morgan can go straight to hell.-
