Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. To the guest (meridian)...no worries on the scene. I'm glad it all worked out. I don't like it when my readers are confused and I do my best to explain something so they understand everything. I hope I did this chapter/story justice as some of you had questions/concerns on Sarah/lucky. This chapter is dedicated to Sarah/Liz/Audrey.

Title: Studio Love

Chapter 24

(Now that the situation with Lucky was dealt with, Elizabeth knew it was time to talk to her grandmother, Audrey. Elizabeth never liked the fact that Audrey told her to just get over what happened with her rape. Even though Elizabeth got over what happened because she was told to, she privately wished her attacker was caught. She had lost hope that she would ever know who it was. However, with Audrey telling her to move on and that it wasn't worth dredging it up, Elizabeth had no choice but to listen to her stern Gram. The end result? Elizabeth grew to resent her grandmother as Elizabeth felt Audrey didn't care about her rape. It hurt Elizabeth that Audrey didn't seem to care about her feelings)

(Elizabeth wasn't completely ready to go to Audrey. She knew it was time, though. It has been a few days since the whole thing so she was sure the situation was in the papers. Audrey hasn't tried to reach out, so Elizabeth figured she needed to take the first step)

(Elizabeth stood at the front door to Audrey's house. She took a deep breath before knocking. There was movement inside before the front door opened. Elizabeth tried not to show her nervousness, but failed. Audrey smiled politely at her granddaughter)

Audrey: "Hello, Elizabeth."

Liz: (nods) "Hello, Gram."

Audrey: "Come in."

(She opens the door wide enough to let Elizabeth in. Both women sit down on the cream-colored couch and got comfy. Elizabeth rests her purse on the brown wooden coffee table in front of her before she begins)

Liz: "I'm guessing you're surprised I'm here."

Audrey: (sighs) "Yes, I am. However, I was wondering when you would come, considering what happened to Lucky."

Liz: "I take it you read the papers on it?"

Audrey: (nods) "I did. I was shocked to find out that it was him who hurt you." (sighs sadly) "Oh, Elizabeth, I'm so sorry."

Liz: (frustratedly) "Are you really?"

(Audrey looks at her granddaughter sincerely and a bit shocked by the accusation)

Audrey: "Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

Liz: (scoffs a bit) "Because you pretty much told me I should just get over it. I felt broken inside and I needed comfort from you and Sarah." (shakes her head) "You were never there for me and I was only fifteen."

Audrey: (sadly) "I was wrong when I did that. Sweetie, it just looked like the PCPD weren't going to catch the culprit. I felt it should just be in the past. There was no need to dredge it up."

(Elizabeth got up from the couch in a huff! What the hell?! She couldn't believe her Gram did that and said that back then and repeated it just now even though it was said in the past too)

Liz: "Do you have ANY idea how alone I felt when you did that?! Huh?! You're my family! My-My closest living family! You were supposed to help me through it! But, no! You told me I should just drop it as it was a lost cause! It may have been a lost cause to you, but it sure as hell wasn't a lost cause to me! Because of the way you drilled it into my head that the person didn't matter, I told myself that it didn't matter! That it was over and done with and I should leave it be! However, my heart knew that I couldn't! Jason was the only one who was truly there for me! Him and my TRUE FRIENDS in Sonny, Carly, and the guards!"

(Elizabeth couldn't stop the tears from flowing during all of this. She sniffled and attempted to wipe her eyes with her hands. Audrey was tear-stained as well when she got up to face her heartbroken granddaughter)

Audrey: (tearfully) "I will never be able to express how sorry I am, dear. I-I know that I made a terrible mistake in judgement years ago when I urged you to let it go. I NEVER should have said that. I will never forgive myself for that. I will understand if you can never forgive me. I wouldn't be able to forgive me, either."

(Elizabeth wipes at her continued tears, trying to stop them from flowing. She folds her arms over her chest and briefly looks away)

Liz: "It may take me a bit to get past it. However, I'll do my best to forgive you." (sadly) "I hate feeling like this, Gram. I want to be able to forgive you and move forward." (nods) "Can you be patient with me while I do that?"

Audrey: "Of course I can, sweetie."

(Audrey takes a step forward, wanting to seal the distance that was between them. Elizabeth felt an inkling to this and allowed her Gram to comfort her. They both share an emotional embrace. After breaking free, they sit back down on the couch)

Liz: "Has Sarah stopped by recently?"

Audrey: (shakes her head) "No. Why would she?"

Liz: (chuckles dryly) "I'm surprised. Lucky supposedly felt bad for what he did. Sarah knew what he did. Gram, Sarah knew for awhile and didn't say a word."

Audrey: (eyes widened) "I'm shocked! The Sarah Webber I love and remember would have told someone as soon as she found out."

Liz: (snorts) "Nope. That Sarah is long gone. The new Sarah promised Lucky that she would never tell his secret. Then, when she got pissed off at him for showing compassion towards me for what he did, she threatened to spill the beans. By that time, Carly overheard the conversation. Carly didn't want to hurt me, but she made the right decision in the end to tell Jason the truth. Jason rushed to Kelly's as Lucky was about to repeat what he did years ago."

(Audrey shook her head in confusion before speaking)

Audrey: "Why did Lucky do it in the first place? What did he have to gain? I knew it was probably in the Port Charles Press, but I'm still confused."

Liz: "When Luke and Laura were younger, Luke raped Laura and normally, that would've split them up for good. In the end, though? They fell in love and got married. Lucky figured in his own twisted mind that the same thing would happen for him and I."

Audrey: (shocked) "You can't be serious."

Liz: "Uh-huh. Then Sarah set her sights on every guy in town, including Lucky. She seduced him while him and I were still together. I broke that relationship off and didn't look back." (smiles) "I met a wonderful man in Jason Morgan and we fell in love." (chuckles) "Although, I think he fell for me first." (rolls her eyes) "Sarah was jealous, so she tried to seduce Jason, but he turned her down flat."

Audrey: (angrily) "That girl. I don't know what she was thinking when she did all of that. I will be having a LONG talk with her when I see her."

Liz: (raises her eyebrows) "Be careful. She may try twisting things around or sweet talk you. She tried to do that with everyone else. I will never forgive her for what she did to me."

Audrey: "Oh, trust me, young lady. I definitely see things clearly now."

(They are caught off-guard by the knock at the front door. They were wondering who it could be. Upon answering the door, Audrey didn't look surprised by her guest)

Audrey: "Hello, Sarah."

Sarah: (smiles) "Hi, Gram."

Audrey: "We were just talking about you."

Sarah: (puzzled) "'We'?"

(Audrey opens the door wide enough so Sarah and Elizabeth can connect eyes)

Liz: 'Hello, sister."

Sarah: (narrows her eyes) "What are you doing here?"

Audrey: "She is updating me on a few things. I'm glad she did, though, because you never did."

(Sarah rushes in and points at Elizabeth while speaking at Audrey)

Sarah: "You can't believe a word she says! She's a liar!"

(Elizabeth momentarily lets Audrey have the court so Sarah could dig her own grave)

Audrey: (folds her arms) "Oh, really? And what did she supposedly lie about?"

Sarah: "I-I told Lucky he needed to admit what he did to Lizzie. He wouldn't."

Audrey: "Oh, really? So, the only reason you threatened to tell everyone is because Lucky pissed you off when he felt bad for hurting your sister?" (tilts her head) "Did you really seduce Lucky while he was still technically with Elizabeth?"

(Sarah was going to attempt to lie, but she knew it was a lost cause. She looks like she wants to speak, but it wasn't worth it)

Audrey: "That's what I thought. By the way, young lady, did you try seducing Jason when he was and is still with your sister?"

(Sarah was fuming on the inside! She was hoping she could spin things around, but that was proving to be a challenge)

Sarah: (stutters) "It-It was just a joke."

Liz: (raises her eyebrows) "Even though you were wearing nothing underneath your coat? Are you sure it was just a joke, Sarah?"

(Elizabeth does something that even catches herself off-guard, but it was LONG overdue. She connects her left hand with Sarah's right cheek and punches, hard, causing Sarah to fall back a few steps. Elizabeth angrily points at her bitch of a sister)

Liz: "THAT IS FOR HURTING ME ON PURPOSE AND NOT GIVING A SHIT ABOUT IT! YOU KNEW DAMN WELL I HAD BAD THINGS GOING ON IN MY LIFE AND YOU DIDN'T CARE! NOW, INCASE IT'S NOT CLEAR, YOU ARE NO LONGER MY SISTER. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME AND EVERYONE I LOVE! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'VE HATED ME ALL THESE YEARS WHEN I HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU!"

(Sarah scoffs incredulously as she speaks to Elizabeth)

Sarah: "Nothing?! Are you serious?! You get everything you want! Saint Lizzie gets everything handed down to her on a silver platter! You were the town bad girl but yet everyone sees you as this PERFECT woman who can do no wrong! It was time for me to knock you down a few pegs, you bitch!"

(Audrey couldn't believe what Elizabeth just did. In the end, though, Audrey completely understood why Elizabeth did that. As for Sarah, Audrey couldn't believe what she was hearing! How could Sarah do all of this? This is not the same Sarah that was sweet growing up)

Audrey: "Sarah! What the hell has gotten into you?!"

Sarah: "Gram, don't you see? It's all Lizzie's fault!"

Audrey: "You know perfectly well what her name is, Sarah. So, knock it the hell off." (narrowing her eyes)

(Audrey walks to Sarah and stares at her for a moment before shocking Elizabeth and Sarah with her next move. Audrey raises her right hand and slaps Sarah across her left cheek)

Audrey: "I don't know what the hell happened to the sweet and innocent Sarah growing up. I don't recognize her anymore. The Sarah I know and remember wouldn't hurt another family member like this...especially on purpose! I'm very disappointed in you! I may be wrong in this, but I don't give a shit! You are no longer welcome here or a member of this family!"

(Sarah faces her Gram in shock! She shakes her head as she attempts to defend herself)

Sarah: "Gram, please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt anyone! I was just joking around!"

Audrey: "No family member treats others like that. Consider yourself disowned."

(Elizabeth smiles as she gets up from the couch. She says her goodbyes to Audrey and leaves while Sarah cries in shame. Elizabeth couldn't help but feel like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders now. She could finally be happy, truly happy, with the man of her dreams and amazing friends. She no longer needed to worry about Sarah and Lucky as they were completely out of her life. She couldn't wait to start her new life. And it was about to start…right now)
