A/N:Wow...Thanks so much for the awesome reviews.To think I was hesitant to post this.I wasn't sure how many Liason fans there were here...glad to know I'm not alone. I'm not sure how 'on' this chapter is...Liz is facing take some work. Anyway..R&R, please!

--------------------

He stared back at her, almost accusingly. She was quiet. Not that quiet wasn't the norm with her.

It was something about the way she was standing. She seemed nervous, hesitant almost. But determined.

Boy, did she ever appear determined. It almost made Lucky feel nervous.

"Elizabeth?...Sit down."

She did as he asked, several inches from him.

"Look...Lucky-I love you."

"But..."He said, getting a sense of the mood of the talk.

"But-I just...don't know where we stand anymore."Elizabeth said, watching his expression change.

"What?''Lucky spat. "You...are my wife.And I-"

"I know that much."She accused. "I've thought about us.About everything that's been happening-"

"I already apoligized for kissing Maxie.It was part of some scheme.She's still reeling over losing Jesse."Lucky

said, hoping it would deter the accusations away from him.

Elizabeth sat up, linking her fingers together. "Don't Chicken out now...you've come this far."She thought to herself. "You can do this.You need to do this to get on with life."

"It's not just about the kiss with Maxie, Lucky. It's everything else in between. The mysterious findings of pills which you claim came from an old perscription you had a long time ago but...you have a problem that right now I don't think I can help you with."Elizabeth said, knowing she'd end up regretting it.

"What are you saying, Elizabeth?"Lucky asked, standing. "That you don't trust me anymore?"

"I saw you.Yesterday...in the park.I saw Maxie handing you a bottle.I don't know what it was...but it would make sense if they were the ones you've been using. Hydrocodone has come up missing at the hospital and each time...Maxie was reportedly working on the same floor."

Lucky seemingly didn't act surprised. It had been the same thing she'd said before. Only this time, she had actual proof. "Elizabeth..."

"No.I'm tired of pretending everything's perfect. I get the fact that you have pain.Sometimes I do, too.But to steal medicine from the hospital?"

"I didn't ask her to, okay?I don't know how it got this far.I just..."Lucky's head sunk into his hands, defeated.

--------------------

Jason stared out the window, seemingly lost in thought. So much had changed in his life in the past several months it seemed at times as if he was barely holding on to reality.

Across town, Sonny was the same way. And he knew it. He couldn't help him, and Carly couldn't either.She'd left with Jax to go to some other country-Jason hadn't heard where. It just didn't make sense.

And then of course, there was Sam. In the middle of it all, she had been his one anchor to reality-the one person who had been able to actually make him change his mind-she'd loved him. But then she got shot.

Everything seemed to change from there. He realized how blinded to the bad he was. She was like a poison to him-masking him from all the trouble there was. And she was the one who was hurt because of it.

Taking a sip from the beer in his hand, Jason wished it would all go away. That things would return to the simpleness that everything used to be. Back when he wasn't boss. Back before Sam, before Courtney before things had gotten so complicated.

His mind drifted to the conversation he had had earlier with Elizabeth. She seemed as lost and hurting as he was. Something about the way she was acting. Maybe she really was over Lucky this time. But he knew that if she truly was over Lucky, that she'd need someone to talk to. Someone to sort things out with. And though he wouldn't admit to anyone, Jason hoped that person would be him.

------------

"You what?"Lucky spat out, trying to wrap his head around the idea.

"I know.It doesn't seem like the right thing for you.But I am done trying.I am done scraping for money, afraid to ask for help. You've been accusing me of sleeping with Patrick...of going behind your back when the whole time you've been the one...''Elizabeth said, not sure where all the pent up anger was coming from.

"I don't know what to say.I love you...I...I can't lose you.I can't..."Lucky said, clearly shaken by her words.She hadn't seriously considered ending it with him, had she?

Elizabeth stared at the papers, now laid out clearly on the coffee table. "You can still come and see Cam.He loves you...I would never take him away from you.I just don't want this anymore.We were troubled right from the start, Lucky.I can't be a part of it anymore.If you want help, I'll help you find it but-"

"So that's it?I just...sign that paper...and I'm out of your life?No thinking twice no..."sorry for hurting you"?I don't get a say in this?I don't have a drug addiction, Liz. I don't love Maxie.I love you."

She sighed, knowing that this conversation would come. Staring back at him, she knew she had to do it.

She was making the right decision. She just wasn't sure if he'd actually agree. "Lucky-you may not love Maxie but you...you're addicted to your pills.She's been stealing them for you.You could be arrested, and so could she."

Lucky clapped his hands loudly against his legs. "Why is this all about Maxie?Why aren't we mentioning Jason?"

"What?"Elizabeth asked, surprised at what he had said.

"Jason.He was here earlier.You two seem pretty close lately.He's the one who rescued you..so why wouldn't you feel something for him?"

"Jason and I are friends.I'm married to you, remember?"Elizabeth said, a sense of coldness in her voice.

"Baby-I love you...I'm worried about you."

"That's why you went and got divorce papers, right?You know what, Elizabeth?Maybe I should sign them.I can't-"Lucky said, his voice shaky. "I can't do this right now.I can't stay here."He said, running out the door.

-----------------------

Jason had almost fallen asleep when on the couch when he heard shouting coming from outside.

''Just let me in to see him.Let me talk to Jason."

Standing up, Jason groggily trudged over to the door. ''What's the problem out here, boys?"He asked, seeing the familiar face.

"Let him in."Jason said, sighing.

"But boss-"

"Just let him in..."Jason said, clearing the way for him to come inside.

Shutting the door, Jason didn't even need to guess what Lucky was there about. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You told her to get the papers, didn't you?You convinced Elizabeth I wasn't good enough for her."

"Papers.What?"Jason said, somewhat taken back. He knew she had said that she and Lucky were over, but he didn't know Elizabeth had gone that far.

"Act like you don't know...Divorce papers, Jason. You two have been getting closer lately...you're the one who convinced her, didn't you?"Lucky asked, feeling somewhat stronger than he really was.

Walking towards the couch, Jason sighed. "I wish I could help you, Lucky. But unless you've got some case you need inside help with-"

"This isn't about your stupid business, Jason."Lucky said, coldly. "This is about my wife.Elizabeth...your supposed friend.So admit it."

"Did you ever think that maybe it's what Elizabeth wanted?Noone controls her...especially you lately.Going after me isn't going to help anything."Jason said, curious as to why Lucky was acting the way he was.

Lucky sighed, shaking his head. "It all makes sense now."

"What?"

"You two dated once...she diluted it to some friendship thing. But really-"

"Stop, Lucky.You don't know what you're saying.I want you to leave."Jason ordered, as if it would solve everything.

Lucky stared back at the man, coldly. Sighing, he shook his head before walking towards the door. "But don't think this is over, Jason.Spencer's don't give up that easily."

Lucky slammed the door, rather loudly which left Jason alone with his thoughts. He and Sam were over.That was known for sure. He had planned on sleeping that night but if Elizabeth was really going through this, she'd be sitting at home right now...thinking how she was really going to go through with it.

His hand reached toward the phone as a knock came at the door. Sighing, Jason shouted. "Send him away...If he comes in here again-"

"It's not Lucky, Jase."Carly said, opening the door. "Listen, I talked to Sam.I heard about what happened and-"

"Carly?"

"Yeah?"

Jason sighed, fighting back a yawn. "It's eleven thirty at night. Sam and I are over...go home."

Carly stared back at the man, shocked. "I didn't come here to talk about Sam."

"Then why are you here?"

"Sonny.He's going crazy.That vase that was in the living room?-It's broken. The picture of him, Micheal, Kristina and Morgan-"

"What do you think I can do?I can't fix him."Jason said, somewhat annoyed. "Why are you here?I thought you left to go with Jax, anyway?"

"I didn't.I mean-I was going to but..."

"Nevermind.I can't deal with this right now, Carly.I've got enough to deal with.Just...send the man to Rose Lawn."Jason said, feeling restless.

Carly stared at him, wondering what was up. "Is this about Lucky?Why was he here, anyway?"

"It doesn't matter to you.Just-Carly?...Go home."

"It's Elizabeth, isn't it?"Carly asked, crossing her arms. "Jase?"

Rubbing the sides of his face, Jason knew he wouldn't get rid of her that easily. So instead, he figured he'd leave. "Where are you going?"Carly asked.

Staring back at the woman, Jason sighed. He didn't want to admit it, but it seemed like things were worse now then before. He shrugged, almost questioning why he was going himself. Shrugging, he nodded towardsthe woman.

"Out."

Thanks for reading!I'm loving writing this story.It means alot to know that you guys are reading.

Anyway, I know there wasn't any 'real' Liason in this chapter, just mere mentions of them. I had to write semi-angst for L&L though (even though, IMO it wasn't all that great)...But Liz needed to stand up for herself. And I had to include Carly 'cause...well...she stresses Jason out. Anyway, hope you like it.I may have another chapter up tonight (if all goes well)If not...thendefinately tomorrow.
