(Elizabeth's point of view)

When I woke up I had forgotten where I was. I had actually thought it was all just a nightmare. My arm started throbbing. Ouch not a dream I was awake and this was real. This sucked big time.

I saw Jason still sitting next to me. He was asleep. I didn't know how to deal with Jason. I was worried he's going to disappear again. I didn't want to admit I needed him. I felt so stupid and weak. I was trying to decide whether I should wake Jason or not when Bobbi came in.

"Hello Elizabeth how is your arm feeling?" Bobbi asked.

"It's fine. I am so worried about Grams." I answered.

"I have some good news. Audrey is out of surgery. The next 72 hours are critical. I called your Father. Your Father and Mother can't make it. Your brother is on his way though." Bobbi explained.

"I'm not surprised about my parents. I'm sure they wouldn't have helped Grams heal." I said annoyed.

"I couldn't find a number for Sarah." Bobbi said.

"She's doing mission work. I doubt anyone could get in contact with her. I feel bad though because I know she'd be here if she could and she does deserve to know." I said sadly thinking about my sister who I actually missed.

"Sonny and I could try to contact her." Jason said as I noticed he had been listening and was now wide awake.

"Okay I'll write down what I know." I responded before turning back to Bobbi.

"Liz he just wants to help." Bobbi said as Jason left us alone.

"I know." I said.

"Jason has been trying to keep everyone safe. And he was there when Laura had a complete break down." Bobbi said.

"I can't talk about Jason right now." I said not knowing how to explain how scared I was that he'd leave again.

"Okay sweetheart you need to rest. I'll leave you." Bobbi responded.

"No I need to see Grams. Is she awake yet? Do they have her in ICU? Are you sure she's okay?" I asked quickly.

"I will check and see if you can go see her. No she's isn't awake yet. And yes she's in the ICU. She's going to be okay." Bobbi answered all my questions.

"Will you go ask now if I can go see her?" I asked.

I was alone for a while. I tried to not think. I had almost gotten myself, Grams, and some of Jason's men killed. We were all so fortunate. Jason saved us.

"Hey there good news we can go see Audrey. You have to go in a wheelchair thought." Emily said greeting me with a huge hug.

"Okay let's go." I said trying not to cry.

"Are you okay?" Emily asked softly.

"Not at all. How about you?" I asked.

"I've known for a while and no I'm not and now this." Emily said as I nodded.

Grams was pale and frail. I wasn't use to see her like this. I wasn't use to see her like that. I started to cry. Emily hugged me tightly. I saw Grams open her eyes much to my relief.

"Elizabeth darling are you okay?" Grams asked her voice was low.

"I'll be fine. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm going to be okay. I was so worried." Gram said.

"Me too Grams." I responded.

"Did you find out if Lucky made it out of the fire?" Grams asked.

"He did escape the fire. He was killed though." I answered calmly.

"Oh Elizabeth I'm so sorry." Grams said squeezing my hand.

"I'll leave to two for a while. Mom and Dad said they would be by." Emily said.

"Bye Em." I said.

"Good bye Emily and thank you." Gram said.

"Get well." Emily said as she left.

Alan and Monica came in a short time later. They were both very happy with Grams' recovery so far. Alan wanted me to go rest. I refused I didn't need to rest I needed to be here with Grams.

"Please take Alan's advice and go rest." Grams said.

"I'm fine. I just need to stay here with you." I said.

"You were shot as well." Grams said.

"Grams I'm not tired." I said.

"As stubborn as ever." I heard someone say from the door way.

"Steven." I yelled as my big brother hugged me.

"Hi there Liz. Love to see some things never change." Steven teased me.

"Hello Steven it's so good to see you. Thank you for coming." Grams said as Steven kissed her cheek.

"I got a report on both of you." Steven said.

"And?" I questioned my doctor brother.

"And Grams is doing really well. And you need to go rest. I'll stay with Grams. I promise to update you." Steven answered.

"Please Elizabeth rest for a bit." Grams said.

"Fine." I said knowing I couldn't beat them together.

"I'll take you back to your room. Be right back Grams." Steven said as I hugged Grams.

I was shocked to not see Jason when I returned to my room. I was worried I had run him off. I did see Sonny though. I asked about Jason after Steven left. Sonny explained that Jason was working to try and locate Sarah.

I couldn't believe after how mean I had been he was still working so hard to find my sister. Sonny and I sat talking. I talked about Grams and my brother. Sonny talked about Michael and the baby he and Carly were expecting. I waited patiently for Jason to return.
