(Jason's point of view)

I had to be near Elizabeth. I was really worried. Sonny was the only one besides Johnny who knew I was hiding in the building. I had made sure to be able to see her. Luckily she still keeps the windows uncovered.

I saw Lucky arrive. Lucky hugged her. I felt strange watching them like that. Then they were talking on the couch. They both started laughing.

Maybe I was worried over nothing. Then I saw Lucky pull away. He suddenly left. Elizabeth started to cry. I watched as she painted. I wondered if she was singing. I had missed Elizabeth so much. I still couldn't fully admit how much I missed her.

Elizabeth had left with Johnny. I lay on down on the couch. I heard someone. I pulled my gun. Then I heard the door being unlocked. I waited.

"Jason." Sonny called out.

"In here." I said.

"How is Elizabeth?" Sonny asked.

"I don't know." I admitted.

"Have you seen Lucky?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah he was here earlier. They were talking and laughing." I answered.

"That doesn't mean anything Jason." Sonny said.

"What if were wrong?" I asked.

"He's still dangerous." Sonny answered as Elizabeth reappeared in her studio alone.

"She's so beautiful." I said mostly to myself.

"Yes she is." Sonny responded.

"How's Carly?" I asked needing to change the subject.

"She's crazy, stubborn, and beautiful. The pregnancy has given her a glow." Sony answered.

"That's great." I said truly meaning it.

"Jason Carly she means a lot to me. And I love Michael. I need your approval." Sonny said.

"Do you love Carly?" I asked seriously.

"More than I hate her." He answered.

"Then I can't ask for more. You have my approval." I said knowing it was time to forgive and move on.

"Carly is going to be so pissed at me when she finds out you've been in town and I knew." Sonny said knowingly.

"I'll handle Carly. Sonny are you planning to marry Carly?" I asked knowing how Sonny felt about children and marriage.

"If I can talk her into it." Sonny answered.

"I'll help you." I said.

"Now enough about me we need to talk about you." Sonny said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Do you have feelings for Liz?" Sonny asked making me groan.

"She's my friend. I care about her." I answered.

"She's more than that." Sonny responded.

"I know. I just can't right now. She needs to be protected. Her safety is all that matters right now." I said.

"Okay you're right. I have to go. Let me know if you need anything." Sonny said.

"Just let me know when the results are in." I said as Sonny left.

I noticed that Lucky returned a short time a Sonny left. This time Lucky looked angry. They both started yelling. I watched closely concerned. I knew Max was on duty. I called he said he knew and was going to approach them.

After Max had left I saw Lucky grab Elizabeth's arm. Elizabeth pulled away. Then he grabbed her again. I couldn't help it I flew out the door. I approached Elizabeth's studio. Max watched as I went in.

I could hear them yelling. I heard Elizabeth tell him to let go. Max asked if he was needed. I said no softly. Elizabeth saw me as Lucky raised he hand to hit her. I moved quickly. I pushed Lucky away and punched him.

"Stop Jason." Elizabeth cried.

"He was going to hit you." I said.

"No Jason he wasn't I'm fine I told Max." She said.

"I saw him grab you. I saw you crying." I said pissed,

"How could you see us?" She asked looking at the door.

"He's spying on us." Lucky yelled coming at me again.

"Lucky I need to talk to Jason." Elizabeth said.
