(Elizabeth's point of view)
I hadn't slept at all. I went by to see Grams. Steven and Grams were both concerned about me. Grams kept saying I need to sleep. Steven kept saying I would end up sick. I couldn't explain my dreams and nightmares to them. I didn't want anyone to know. I finally agreed to leave and try to sleep.
Francis asked if I was okay. I just nodded not trusting myself. I was sitting and thinking. Then there was a knock on the door. I thought it might be Jason. I was a little disappointed that it was Emily.
"Hey Pal how are you?" Emily asked.
"I'm fine. I just wish everyone would stop being so worried." I shouted.
"Elizabeth you really need to talk to someone." Emily said.
"What should I say?" I asked annoyed.
"Lucky's really gone." She said.
"I know." I responded.
"That pretender got into your head. He tried to isolate you. Then there's my brother." Emily said.
"Em please just give me a little time." I said softly.
"You need to let it out. I can't let you just sit here and keep it all in. I want to help you. Lucky loved you so much. You have to be really hurting." Emily said.
"I just got myself and my Grams shot along with three of Jason and Sonny's men hurt. And Jason could've been killed. Lucky isn't the main thing on my mind." I said annoyed.
"Liz calm down I just think you're avoiding talking about Lucky." She said.
"I don't want to talk about Lucky or the imposter. I knew something was wrong. And you need to back off. Lucky is gone. I know that. If I do need to talk it probably wouldn't be to you. No offense Emily but you can't tell me how to feel." I said.
"Lucky would want you to talk about it and him." Emily said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Are you two okay?" Francis asked I'm sure over hearing our loud conversation.
"Yes we're fine." Emily answered.
"No we aren't. Either you leave or I will." I said to Emily she just didn't get it.
"We need to talk about Lucky." She said again.
"Let's go Francis." I said walking out of my studio.
Emily followed for a short time. Francis smiled a bit as I walked faster. I headed to the box car. It held so many memories. Not just for Lucky and I but for Jason and I. I can still remember how I felt finding Jason here after he was shot. All I could think that day was I couldn't lose Jason too. He had become my friend.
I walked around a little. I couldn't hear Francis. I was a little shocked that Francis hasn't tried to talk to me. I sat down. I remembered my time with Lucky and with Jason.
"Elizabeth." I heard Jason call out to me.
"In here." I responded with a sigh.
"Hey." Jason said.
"Who called you Francis or Emily?" I asked.
"I actually got calls from both of them. I've also talked to your Grandmother and your brother. Everyone is really worried about you." Jason explained.
"I just want it to stop. I'm fine really." I tried to lie as Jason sat next to me.
"Elizabeth you don't have to lie to me. I know you aren't fine. You can't be fine." Jason said.
"Please Jason I just I don't I can't talk." I admitted.
"Why don't we go back to your studio?" Jason suggested.
"Jason." I whined not caring that I sounded like a five year old.
"I promise I won't make you talk." Jason said.
"Let's go." I responded.
"Francis I'm going to take Elizabeth back to her studio. If you want to stop by the warehouse." Jason said to him.
"Sure I'll see you both later." Francis said with a smile.
We silently walked back to the studio. Jason kept his promise and didn't force me to talk. Jason started to talk as we approached the studio. He told me about moving back into the Penthouse. Then he talked about having dinner with Sonny, Carly, and Michael.
"Hey are you okay?" Jason asked as I sighed.
"No I'm not. I'm so angry, sad, and scared." I admitted as I began to cry.
"Come here." Jason said pulling me into his arms.
"Why do you have to be so good to me?" I asked wishing he was yelling at me.
"You're my friend." He said.
"Why did you have to leave me?" I asked.
"I promise I won't leave again." Jason said.
"Jason you can't promise that." I said.
"Okay then I promise not to leave you." Jason said.
"Okay I want you here." I said.
"I want to be here." Jason said as he tried to pull away.
"Please hold me." I begged.
"I'll hold you for as long as you want. Can we be friends again?" Jason asked.
"We never stopped. I'm so sorry." I answered.
Jason stayed the whole night. He held me. We talked a little. I didn't bring up Lucky or the imposter. Jason just seemed happy that I wasn't angry anyone.
