Thanks so much for the feedback and the follows/favorites. For those of you ready to see Sarah get what's coming to her, don't worry she will. It won't happen yet tho. Lucky will pay for what he's done but not yet.

Title: Studio Love

Chapter 15

***Kelly's***

(Carly decided to get a cup of coffee at Kelly's. After going inside the small restaurant, she is caught off-guard by a familiar, yet annoying voice…Sarah Webber)

Sarah: (sweetly) "Hi, Carly. How are you?"

(Carly groans and forces a smile)

Carly: "Hi, Sarah. What are you doing here?"

Sarah: "Oh, same as you. Getting a coffee. I've been meaning to talk to you."

Carly: (weird look) "About what?"

Sarah: (polite smile) "My dear, sweet sister, Lizzie."

Carly: (raises her eyebrows) "You DO know that she prefers Elizabeth, right?"

Sarah: (rolls her eyes) "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have an interesting relationship where she's used to that

from me."

Carly: (tilts her head) "I don't think anyone gets used to being called another name that's not their preferred one."

Sarah: (smirks) "Like I said, we have a special relationship. You know more about Lizzie than I probably do, considering you and Jason are close and Jason is close with Lizzie."

Carly: (not impressed) "I may know her, but why do you think I'd share anything with you?"

Sarah: (shrugs) "I thought you didn't like Lizzie much these days."

Carly: "I admit I didn't care for her at the beginning. I don't mind her now."

Sarah: (surprised) "Since when?"

Carly: (angrily) "Since you and that asshole Spencer screwed her over. I've learned some new things about Elizabeth and I see her in a different light. So, if you think you can sweet talk me into giving you the inside scoop on her…you're sadly mistake, little girl."

(Carly points at Sarah and speaks in a warning tone)

Carly: "I see right through you, little girl. You're going to pay for hurting Elizabeth. No one hurts Elizabeth and gets away with it."

(Sarah shakes her head in confusion)

Sarah: "I-I don't understand, Carly. When did you and Lizzie suddenly become BFF's?"

(Carly turns away slightly and remembers when she pretended to be upstairs in her and Sonny's bedroom. Jason confide in Sonny about Elizabeth being raped and how the PCPD never caught the culprit. Carly is still shocked at hearing that. Carly briefly shakes her head and faces Sarah again)

Carly: "I'm a changed woman. Watch your back, little girl." (smirks) "Oh, and by the way…I'm going to make sure that Elizabeth gets her job back."

(Sarah places her hands on her hips in a shocked tone)

Sarah: "I don't know how that's possible after she purposely spilled iced tea on me."

(Carly smiles proudly at her new nemesis)

Carly: "I have more power over Bobbie than you do. Besides, Bobbie is my mom."

(Sarah was seething with fury! Who the hell does Carly think she is?! First of all, Carly doesn't own the small restaurant! Second of all, Sarah knew that Bobbie must have her own mind and doesn't listen to everything Carly says! Sarah knew she had to have one over Carly. Sarah chuckles evilly as she had just the trick)

Sarah: "I won't come to Kelly's anymore. I drink a lot of coffee here and eat here often. You will lose my business."

Carly: (laughs) "Good. Less drama. My mother may own the business, but I have a lot of pull over her. If you keep acting up, I can make sure that you're no longer welcome here."

Sarah: (narrows her eyebrows) "You wouldn't dare."

Carly: (folds her arms) "Try me."

(Sarah's eyes are widened in shock! Holy fuck! Sarah grabs her purse off the table she was using and walks out in a huff. Carly faces the front door)

Carly: "Bitch."

***Hours Later***

(With Sonny, Michael and the guards gone, Carly decides to have a talk with her mother, Bobbie. The two ladies sit down on the couch and get comfy before Carly speaks)

Carly: "Thank you, mom, for coming over."

Bobbie: "It sounded urgent, so I wanted to make sure you were okay. What's up?"

Carly: "It's about Elizabeth."

Bobbie: (odd look) "Okay?"

Carly: "I want you to rehire her at Kelly's. It was wrong to fire her because of her bitch of a sister, Sarah."

Bobbie: (raises her eyebrows) "Carly, I can't just ignore what she did. She dumped a pitcher of iced tea over Sarah, who happened to be a customer. How would that look if Elizabeth came back? It'd be like she could do whatever she wanted without the consequences. I can't have that in my restaurant, no matter how much I like her."

(Carly tilts her head and speaks in a serious tone)

Carly: "Mom, for as long as you've known Elizabeth, has she ever done anything questionable besides the incident with Sarah?"

Bobbie: (sighs deeply) "No, she hasn't."

Carly: "All of the customers I have spoken with adore Elizabeth. She has never done one mean thing to them. They feel bad that Elizabeth's sister treats her horribly. When I asked them if Elizabeth deserves to be fired, they said no." (smirks) "They went as far to say they'd sign a petition for her to come back. If that's not being loyal, I don't know what is. Sarah needs to get off her high horse and I told her that."

Bobbie: "Okay, I see what you're saying. It's clear Elizabeth is popular at Kelly's. I see how much everyone loves her there. I'll hire her back. I do want to talk to her, though."

Carly: "I'll call her now and have her come over."

Bobbie: (nods) "Okay."

***About 15 minutes Later***

(After letting Elizabeth into the penthouse, Carly offers a smile)

Carly: "Thank you for coming so quickly."

Bobbie: "I know this is probably the last place you expected to come to."

Liz: "I guess I was just surprised to get your call. Am I in trouble?"

Carly: "No, you're not."

Bobbie: "Carly spoke on your behalf, as did the customers at Kelly's regarding your firing." (serious tone) "I don't condone what you did to Sarah."

Liz: (nods) "I know. I'm sorry about that."

Bobbie: "Can you promise me that it won't happen again? That no matter what happens with Sarah in the future, you will not retaliate against her?" (smirks) "At least, not in my restaurant?"

Liz: (chuckles) "Yes, I can promise you that. I'm really sorry about that. While I admit it felt good to do that, it didn't look mature on my end."

Bobbie: "If Sarah antagonizes you again and no one is there back you up, call myself, Carly, Jason, or Sonny, or even the guards. Don't let her get you down."

Liz: "Yes, ma'am."

Bobbie: (smiles) "Then you're rehired, my dear."

Liz: (nods & smiles) "Thank you."

Bobbie: "Well, I need to get going. You can start again tomorrow, okay?"

Liz: "Okay, sounds good."

(Bobbie gets up and leaves. Elizabeth smiles politely and is about to do the same when Carly stops her)

Carly: "Elizabeth, can we talk?"

Liz: (stutters) "Uh…o-okay…"

Carly: "No one is here but us. I'd like us to clear the air on everything, if that's okay?" (chuckles) "I promise, no yelling."

Liz: (nods) "Okay."

Carly: (sighs deeply) "Thank you. I appreciate it." (smiles) "Ready?"

Liz: (small smile) "Sure."

Chapter 15 Done

I know Jason wasn't in this chapter. I'm writing these chapters according to my outline that I came up with. Some characters may be used more often than others. Thanks to all who take the time to review. Until next time!
