It seemed that they both had their own confrontations today. Jason had to deal with Emily and her persistent need to break Elizabeth down so she would break up with him. In all the time he has known his sister, Jason would never have thought she'd be like this. She had no right hurting Elizabeth the way she has and Jason will not stand for it. He knew better than anyone that there was more than one way to kill a person. There was killing them as in they were dead and then there's killing them as in killing their spirit. Jason preferred death rather than living in a place where you felt nothing and you were empty. That kind of death, the death of everything inside you, that death will never become Elizabeth's reality.

While he had Emily to deal with, Elizabeth had her grandmother. Apparently she got home the night before and Elizabeth didn't have a chance to tell her anything because Sarah beat her to the punch. Elizabeth knew she should have went home last night, but she wanted to spend the night with Jason. After they got back from their ride, Elizabeth just didn't want to leave him. So she spent the night again and woke up to her grandmother's anger over the phone. She knew she was in for a hell of a fight when she got back home and she couldn't hide from it either.

"Are you sure about this, Elizabeth?" Jason wasn't sure he wanted to leave her now. "Maybe I should be there for your conversation with Audrey."

"Thank you, but no." Elizabeth shook her head, she was touched, but she had to do this alone. "Besides, don't you have a conversation of your own to face?"

"Right. Emily." Jason sighed, really hating that he had to have this conversation with his sister. "Meet me back here when you're done, okay?"

"Okay." Elizabeth kissed him softly. "Take it easy on her."

"You worry about your conversation, I'll worry about mine." Jason whispered, pulling her back into his arms. "One more for the road."

Jason claimed her lips before she could speak and Elizabeth just melted into him. She knew that they both had to remember just what they were fighting for. They had to remember just why they were standing up to two of the most important people in each of their lives.

For Jason, his sister was one of the two people that accepted him in the Quartermaine family. Besides Lila, he relied on Emily to be his family. Lila and Emily are his only family. Sonny and Carly are his best friends, but he relied on that connection to Emiy to feel normal. Family meant the world to Jason and he would die for either Emily or Lila. That made this conversation hard to initiate because he knew that he just might have to push Emily out of his life and that hurt like hell.

For Elizabeth, her grandparents were the only parents she has ever known. Her mother and father never took the time to care for her and so her grandparents took on that role. Ever since her grandfather died, Elizabeth clung to her grandmother. She became the perfect granddaughter and did everything she could to make her grandmother's life easier. Her grandmother treated her more like a daughter than a granddaughter and with a mother like hers, Elizabeth needed that. Bonding over the loss of her grandfather, Elizabeth came to cherish the connection to her grandmother. Now she feared that the connection will be severed because of her relationship with Jason. Add her friendships to Carly and Sonny and she might as well put her grandmother in the hospital because she was sure she'd have a heart attack.

"Whatever happens..." Jason left the sentence hang between them, knowing that he didn't need to say much more than that.

"I know." she smiles before closing her eyes as his lips touches hers once more. "See you later."

With that, they go their separate ways. Johnny O'Brien, her newly appointed guard, drives her to her gram's house while Jason heads to the Quartermaine estate. Both weren't looking forward to their impending conversations, but both knowing it was better sooner than later. She's become friends with Johnny and it seemed fitting to have him as her guard, not that she really wanted one, but it helped ease Jason's worries so she accepted it.

"You ready for this?" Johnny asks as he opens her door and she gets down.

"Not really." she admits before taking a deep breath. "But here goes nothing."

Jason walks up the pathway to the Quartermaine estate, not really sure how this conversation was going to go. One thing had him finishing the venture to the door and knocking, that being Elizabeth. She didn't deserve what Emily was doing. With Robin and Brenda on their way back, Jason just couldn't handle Emily on Elizabeth's case. He's sure those two brunettes will give Elizabeth a hard enough time as is and he didn't need Emily on that team.

"Jason." the butler greeted, stepping aside for him to enter. "Are you here to see your grandmother?"

"No. Emily." he informs, shrugging out of his jacket. "She here?"

"Family room." Reginald points it out.

"Thanks." Jason grants before walking over to the family room and pulling open the door.

Emily seems surprised to see him there, but not that much. He walks in, no greeting granted between siblings, closing the door behind him. He could see that his sister was trying hard not to blurt out the first thing that came to mind and he could also see that she wasn't exactly happy to see him. Both of which he can deal with as long as her irritation or anger, whatever it is she was feeling, is directed at him and not Elizabeth. She didn't deserve it. He might deserve it, but not her.

"Emily." he says as he walks over to the couch, not sitting, but just watching her by the window.

"Jason." she says but doesn't look at him.

"We should talk." he can see her physically stiffen in front of him. She didn't want this conversation and he didn't either. "I heard some things and I want to hear your side."

"My side?" Emily finally looks at him, disbelief in her features. "You don't want to hear what I have to say."

"Try me." he folds his arms over his chest, daring her to speak her mind.

"Why Elizabeth?" Emily blurted out, needing to know. "Why, out of all the women in Port Charles, why did you have to pick her?"

"I like her." Jason says simply. "She makes me happy."

"This isn't right Jason!" Emily exclaims. "She's not the one for you! She's not like Carly...she can't handle your life!"

"Isn't that up to Elizabeth?" Jason counters, not raising his voice in the least. "She seems to think she can handle it just fine. I know she can."

"You don't know her the way I do!" Emily challenges. "You don't know everything she's been through! She won't be able to handle your life and you'll end up destroying her!"

"You don't give Elizabeth enough credit." Jason states, slowly growing impatient with the accusations. "She's stronger than you think."

"And you give her too much credit." Emily scoffs, shaking her head. "Elizabeth may seem put together, but there's a whole lot of baggage beneath the surface."

Jason couldn't believe he was hearing this from his sister. She had her own baggage to handle and she has the guts to say that Elizabeth came with too much baggage? There were a lot of things Jason could point out about Emily, but he won't. He wouldn't do that to her, but he was slowly losing his patience with his sister. The look in her eyes had him wanting to take her down a peg or two, but he'll let her have her say until she was done. Then he'll give Emily a few hard truths of his own.

"Gram, you don't understand." Elizabeth pleaded with her gram to listen to her. "Jason isn't all those things you read about in the paper."

"Oh, don't patronize me, child." Audrey shakes her head. "I know his family. I know everything first hand."

"Jason's not even close to his family." Elizabeth counters. "They don't know anything about his life."

"And you do?" Audrey counters. "You've only known this man for two weeks. Don't tell me you've learnt every last detail about that man."

"I may not know everything about him, but I do know him." Elizabeth insists, fighting the tears in her eyes. "He's a good man. He makes me happy and he accepts me just as I am."

"He's a career criminal." Audrey says sternly. "There's no life in it for you with him that doesn't involve guns, danger and death."

"Isn't that my risk to take?" Elizabeth counters, her heart breaking that her grandmother couldn't accept she knows what she's doing. "I care about him gram and I really think I could fall in love with him."

"You're thinking like a child and I will not condone that in this house." Audrey's tears are frozen in her eyes, she didn't want to do this. "Your sister tells me that you've been sleeping at his home."

"Only a couple times, but we never did anything." Elizabeth says, cursing her sister's very existence. "We're not ready for that yet."

"Have you not learnt your lesson from Richard Lansing?" Audrey's heart broke bringing that up because she saw the darkness fill her granddaughter's eyes. "You thought you could love him too."

"Jason is nothing like Richard!" Elizabeth exclaimed, the pain of the past seeping through her veins. "I can't believe you'd bring him up!"

"I'm merely pointing out a pattern." Audrey shrugs, though she wants to just hug her granddaughter. "You will regret being with Jason Morgan."

"No. I won't." Elizabeth states firmly. "I may regret a lot of things before my time is up, but never Jason. I want to be with him and I will be with him, regardless of what anyone else thinks."

"So be it." Audrey lets out a sigh. "If you will not end this juvenile relationship, I want you out of this house."

"What?" Elizabeth eyed her intently. "You're kicking me out?"

"Are you going to keeping seeing Jason Morgan?"

"Yes." Elizabeth breathes, the tears falling from her eyes.

"Then yes." Audrey says firmly. "You have two weeks to get your things and find yourself another place to live."

"I'll pack up my things in the next couple hours." Elizabeth stated. "I wouldn't want to inconvenience you. I just need to get some boxes."

Elizabeth's heart broke further, knowing that her grandmother couldn't see reason and didn't care that Jason made her happy. Happier than she has been in all her eighteen years of life. Giving no care to the tears that fell down her face, Elizabeth walked over to the door and met up with Johnny by the car. He could see that things were pretty bad, but he didn't question her. Johnny simply walked over to her side, held open her door for her before driving her to get some boxes from the warehouse. Elizabeth couldn't help but hope that Jason's conversation with Emily was going better than hers with her gram.

"Tell me I'm wrong." Emily challenges. "Can you honestly tell me that you don't still love Robin? She was your entire world when you were together."

"Exactly!" Jason's voice starting to fill with anger. "When we were together! Not anymore! Robin means little to nothing to me."

"That's a lie and you know it!" Emily threw her hands up in frustration. "Months after Robin left, you still wanted her back."

"What do I have to say to you so you get this through your thick skull?" Jason snaps. "I don't want Robin now. I don't want her ever! With or without Elizabeth, I'd never get back together with Robin!"

"Yeah. Right." Emily didn't believe him for a single second.

"You know what, I love you, but I frankly don't care what you think." Jason has had enough. "Elizabeth means a lot to me and I won't have you hurting her. So if you have something to say, you say it to me and you leave Elizabeth alone!"

"She's my friend." Emily states. "You can't tell me to not talk to her."

"Some friend you are." Jason counters, wanting to make sure Emily finally gets it. "Elizabeth doesn't need you making her feel bad for being with me and she doesn't need you putting lies into her head."

"You'll never stay together." Emily's tears start to form. "You'll never be happy together."

"We are happy." Jason states firmly. "And I won't let you wreck that for us."

"Mark my words, you two will never work." Emily fights off the tears, not wanting her brother to see how much this was affecting her. "If you don't believe me, ask her about Richard Lansing because that worked out so well for her."

"Who's Richard Lansing?" Jason looks at her intently.

"Ask Elizabeth." Emily takes a deep breath before walking over to the door. "Then we'll see just how long you both last."

Jason watched his sister walk out the door before following suit. He didn't know what that comment was about, but he put it out of his head for now. Shrugging back into his jacket, Jason straddled his bike before taking off back to the penthouse. Every part of him hoping that Elizabeth will be there when he got back.

Elizabeth was done packing up her things and her heart broke that she wouldn't be back in this home again. She hoped that with time her grandmother will lighten up, but she wouldn't hold her breath. Of course, Sarah was there with her smug smile, but Elizabeth paid her no mind. She didn't care for her sister in the least and she just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. Johnny helped her carry the boxes down to the car before driving her to the penthouse. She left too fast that she didn't hear her grandmother's words to Sarah.

"Wipe that smug smile off your face." Audrey snapped at Sarah. "Your sister made the right choice for herself. You should learn a thing or two from her and stop acting so damn childish."

"What? You just said..." Sarah was confused at her grandmother's attitude towards her.

"I only said what I said because I know this is what she needs." Audrey says firmly. "She has to learn to rely on herself. That doesn't mean I love her any less or want good things for her. Go finish your chores."

Sarah walks away from Audrey, completely shocked at the way her grandmother spoke to her. Audrey, on the other hand, could only hope that Lila was right and that her granddaughter will be happy with Jason Morgan. In spite of what he does for a living, Audrey knows first hand the kind of man that lives beneath the surface. Her granddaughter is in good hands with Jason Morgan and for now she will have to do without Elizabeth, but she will fix things later on. Right now Elizabeth needed to be on her own. Now if only Sarah will grow up and move out as well.

"Hi." Jason says when Elizabeth walks into the penthouse.

"Hi." Elizabeth whispers walking into his arms, all out of tears by then.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jason pulls away slightly to look at her. "What happened?"

"She kicked me out." Elizabeth sighs, shaking her head. "I have to find another place to live."

"She just kicked you out?" Jason couldn't believe this. "I'm sorry."

Elizabeth shakes her head, staring up into his eyes. "Its okay." Elizabeth assures. "I was going to move out sooner or later."

"But you wouldn't be moving out if you weren't with me." Jason points out, hating what being with him has done to her life. "Maybe we should..."

"Don't say it." Elizabeth cuts him off. "I was going to move out. It doesn't matter if its now or later...I'm not going to stop being with you just because my grams doesn't approve."

"Are you sure?"

"I've never been more sure in all my life." Elizabeth says firmly. "I want to be with you Jason."

"I want to be with you too." Jason wipes the remnants of tears from her face. "Move in with me."

"What?" Elizabeth looks at him like he's crazy. "I can't do that."

"Why not?" Jason challenged. "I hate being away from you and you love staying here. Why not move in?"

"Because we've only been together for two weeks." Elizabeth stepped out of his embrace. "This isn't normal."

"Who says I want normal?" Jason counters, making her face him. "Come on. You need a place to stay...I have more than enough room for you here. Move in with me."
