So this is a totally unplanned chapter. After the Ric and Sam interaction in the last chapter this seemed like a natural progression. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter Eleven

Emily had been surprised by Sam's call and even more surprised by what the other woman told her. She couldn't imagine what Jason was doing with Elizabeth and Cameron. Emily knew he cared for Elizabeth but this was taking it too far.

Jason should know how dangerous his actions were. It was the same reason that he pushed Sonny to leave her. Emily hated what Jason did but she finally understood Jason had only wanted her safe. That is why she couldn't understand why Jason would behave this way.

What even had her more confused was Jason's treatment of Sam. She knew her brother loved Sam. She also knew the situation with Manny had scared him. That did not mean he should toss Sam away. Of everyone Jason had been with, she was the one who could handle his life.

That's why tonight had to work. Once Jason was back with Sam, he would leave Elizabeth alone. The last thing Elizabeth needed was the danger Jason's life brought.

Jason knew he looked out of place in his jeans and t-shirt. The Metro Court usually demanded high standards of dress but Jason didn't care. He still could not figure out why Emily wanted to meet him here of all places. Still at least she was finally talking to him. He worried this thing with Sonny had ruined their relationship. Dinner, even at the Metro Court, was a start.

He rounded the corner and Jason immediately began looking for his sister. When Jason didn't see her he began to worry. He had already pulled out his phone to call Emily when he saw why she wasn't there. Emily had set him up.

Sam was waiting impatiently at one of the tables. She was wearing some dress that did not leave anything to the imagination. Jason shook his head. Why couldn't she just let go?

After stepping back into the shadow Jason took a moment to think about what he should do. Emily had been pushing him back with Sam. She couldn't seem to accept it was over at least for Jason. However to set this up went beyond talking.

Jason left the Metro Court restaurant without having ever been seen.

General Hospital had been busy all night and Emily couldn't wait to go home. She walked through the parking garage lost in her own thoughts. She didn't see Jason standing in the shadows until he spoke. "Why did you do it?"

"Jason! Don't do that you scared me."

"You didn't answer my question Emily." Jason said stepping out from the shadows.

"I would if I had any idea what you were talking about."

"When you invited me to the Metro Court I thought we were having dinner. Imagine my surprise when I saw Sam waiting on me."

Emily immediately smiled. She knew her plan would work. "Oh that. Really Jason there's no need to thank me."

"Thank you? What makes you think I would thank you?" Jason demanded to harshly.

"Because I know you love Sam. If you just talked I know you could fix things."

"I don't want to fix things with Sam."

Emily could not believe what she was hearing. "You say that now but that's just because you're worried..."

"Emily stop. Just listen to what I am saying. I do not want to be with Sam. The situation has nothing to do with it."

"But..."

"No Emily." Jason said shaking his head. "I'm not taking Sam back. I don't love her any more."

"Stay away from Elizabeth." Emily snapped without warning.

"What?"

"You heard me. I know about Kelly's. Stay away from her Jason. The last thing Elizabeth needs is the danger your life involves."

"That's what this was about? Elizabeth?" Jason asked still completely confused.

"I mean it Jason leave her alone."

"Despite what everyone in this town thinks Elizabeth has a mind of her own."

"Lucky just died and she needs..."

"Her friends. Elizabeth and I have been friends for years you know that."

"So that's it? Sonny broke up with me because you pushed him to. Why can't you see what's happening between you and Elizabeth is the same thing." Emily said tears filling her brown eyes.

"Emily you're my sister and I love you. But don't ever do anything like this again." Jason warned before walking away leaving Emily crying.
