A/N: I know this is another short chapter, but I wanted to finish off Audrey's reaction to Elizabeth's news. So, what do you think?
Chapter Thirteen
"Oh, Elizabeth," the words, dripping with disappointment, fell from Audrey's mouth. "How could you? How could you sleep with that man? Why would you destroy your marriage for the likes of him?" she cried.
Indignantly, Elizabeth let her anger lash out, "How could I destroy my marriage? Apparently you didn't listen to anything I said about what Lucky did to destroy our marriage! When I went to Jason, I went to the one person in this town who wouldn't try to force their opinion about getting back together with Lucky! I didn't intend on sleeping with Jason, it just happened!"
"I thought you had gotten that man out of your system years ago. I thought that phase was over. I don't understand why you continue to hang out with that criminal, Elizabeth!"
"A phase? You thought my friendship with Jason was a phase? He has been, and always will be, my friend, first and foremost. Anything else we are to each other, well, that remains to be seen. Anyways, he's never even been convicted of anything, Gram! Not even so much as a parking ticket!"
"I cannot believe you are defending that criminal, convicted or not, to me! That man is a fugitive, wanted by the law. If this is his baby, I will not have him hanging around this house. I will not entertain the thought of that…that…that cold-blooded, mob hit-man, killer in my home. Do you understand me, young lady? I forbid it. You are not to have anything, and I mean anything, more to do with that man while you are living under this roof!"
"If? If? This baby is Jason's! And, oh, I certainly do understand you. I am NOT a teenager, Grams. I am a grown-ass woman! You don't own me, and you certainly do not control me. Don't worry, I'll be out of your hair soon enough. In fact, I'll start packing now," she states as she runs upstairs to the room she's used ever since she came to Port Charles at the age of 14.
Picking up her phone, she sees that she missed a call from Jason. Listening to his voice mail, she calls him and leaves her own message. She tells him to take his time and do whatever he needed to do. She told him she would call him back and let him know where she would be.
