Cindy

(Jason's point of view)

I saw Elizabeth start to open her eyes. She looked around. I could tell she was really confused. Then she sat up suddenly. She started to panic.

"Where's Grams? What's going on?" She asked.

"You're at GH. Your Grandmother is in surgery. Try to relax. You were shot in the arm." Sonny explained.

"I want Gram. Where is she? I need to go to her." Elizabeth yelled.

"Calm down Liz. Alan will be in soon." Sonny said as I remained quiet.

"Why are you here?" She asked me.

"I'm here because I care about you." I answered simply.

"Tell me about that man?" Is there any chance Lucky is alive?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm sorry Liz. There's no chance. Luke found out about the imposter. Most of the story he told was true. Lucky did make it out of the fire. He was held captive. Helena did plan to brain wash him. Lucky tried to escape and Fansion killed him. Luke confirmed it." Sonny explained.

"So he's truly gone." Elizabeth whispered as she began to cry.

"Sorry to interrupt. I have some news on Audrey." Alan said.

"How's Grams?" Elizabeth asked.

"She made it through the first surgery. They need to do another one though. Her chances her 50/50 right now. They will improve after the next surgery. It will be a long road to recovery." Alan said.

"What can I do to help her?" Elizabeth asked.

"Focus on recovering yourself. You also got shot. You need to rest and you need to heal mentally as well." Alan answered.

"Fine." Elizabeth responded angrily.

"The nurse will be in shortly to give you some pain medication. You need to rest." Alan stated firmly as he left.

"You can leave now." Elizabeth said looking at me.

"I'm staying right here." I said.

"For how long? No you need to leave." She asked.

"I'm not leaving." I said.

"How long are you staying?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't know." I answered lying the only reason I would leave now is if she didn't want or need me anymore.

"I won't get attached to you again." Elizabeth said calmly.

"I'm sorry I left. I'm even sorrier I didn't protect you." I admitted as Elizabeth started sobbing.

"Jason you should go get Emily. I'll stay with ELizabeth." Sonny said.

"Okay I'll be back." I said as Sonny hugged Elizabeth.

I knew me leaving had hurt her. I didn't want to cause her more pain. I want to be able to help her again. I want her to trust me. I want her to want me around.

I didn't know how I could help her. She has been through so much. I just knew I couldn't leave. I looked around for Emily. Finally I saw Alan. Alan said that Emily had gone to get some of Elizabeth's things.

After checking in on Milo I headed back to see Elizabeth. They had moved her to a room. She was sleeping. Sonny smiled at me. He said Elizabeth just needed some time. She was truly worried I would leave and she wasn't sure if she would be okay without me.

I told Sonny to head home. He said Francis would be by with some stuff for me. I sat next to Elizabeth. I kissed her cheek and held her hand. I would earn her trust back. I would be her friend again. That meant more to me then she would ever know.
