Cindy
(Elizabeth's point of view)
Grams had called. She was feeling really good. I met her in the garden outside the hospital. We talked for a while. I tried to get her to tell me what she and Jason talked about. She just smiled and said that she thanked my friend for saving us.
"Elizabeth I promised Jason I would stay out of your friendship. Please be careful." Grams said.
"I will thank you." I responded.
"Jason he isn't what I thought. I admit when I'm wrong." Grams said.
"Jason is a good man. And he's an excellent friend." I said.
"Lila came to visit me she was thrilled to hear that I had seen the Jason she and you described." Grams said.
"I need to go see Lila." I said.
"She mentioned that Emily was upset that the two of you got into a disagreement." Grams pried.
"Yes Emily was trying to help but Grams I just need her to back off. I did talk to Jason about some things." I said.
"Emily admitted to Lila that she was trying to push her own feelings into you." Grams said.
"Yeah she was. I love Lucky he was my first love. But Grams I lived." I said.
"Yes you did." Grams said.
"Can we talk about something else?" I asked.
"When do you plan to return back to school and work?" She asked.
"I need to get back to school soon. I might take off work a little longer. I'll call Bobbi tonight." I answered.
I went by PCU. I picked up a few things. I went and talked with my Professor's. Everyone was very understanding. My Professor's gave me some make-up work. They said I could take my time.
I needed to get back to my life. I wanted normal. Well as normal as Port Charles ever gets. I got back to my studio. I looked over my two new assignments. I had an assignment with clay. I hadn't worked with clay. I finished the small sculpture. I decided to take a break and get some food.
I headed to Kelly's. Francis was following closely. I saw Helena at the docks. I turned away. She came towards us. Francis frowned and quickly pulled his phone out.
"Hello there Elizabeth and friend." Helena said.
"What do you want?" I asked angrily.
"Why dear how are you still here? Why did you get one of my favorite boys killed? Is that hunky bodyguard calling your thug boyfriend?" Helena asked.
"None of your business." I said turning away.
"Little girl you are my business." She said.
"Shut up." I snapped.
"No need to be nasty." Helena said.
"Leave her alone." Francis warned.
"I will for now but, be careful so close to the water. You wouldn't want to trip." Helena threatened.
"Helena leave." Jason said seeming to show up out of nowhere.
"I will I wouldn't want to upset the mob enforcer by messing with his whore." Helena said as she walked away.
"What were you doing?" Jason asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"You were trying to piss off Helena. She's not just dangerous she's insane." Jason said.
"She needs to just go away." I said.
"She will." Jason promised.
"I know what she's capable of." I said trying to not cry.
"Oh Elizabeth come here." Jason said holding his arms out.
"Okay." I said as he held me tightly.
"Let's go to my Pent House." Jason said.
"Why not my studio?" I asked.
"I need to talk to Sonny and I honestly don't want you out of my sight right now." Jason answered.
"Let's go." I answered.
"You need to call Nikalos. Tell him that I warned him about Helena." Jason said as I needed.
The Pent House looked the same. I called Nikalos. He said he understood not saying much else. Jason had gone to see Sonny. Francis and Johnny were on the door. Then I heard a knock.
"Come in." I said shyly.
"Are you okay Elizabeth?" Johnny asked me.
"I'm fine." I answered.
"Are you sure?" Johnny asked.
"Why what's wrong?" I asked noticing his stare.
"You're shaking Liz. Should I go get Jason?" He asked worried.
"No I'm fine. Did Francis leave?" I asked.
"He's with Sonny and Jason. Do you want me to get Francis?" He asked.
"No I was just curious. I'm fine." I answered.
"I'll be right outside. You're safe here." Johnny promised.
I started to cry. I couldn't seem to calm down. I wasn't able to hold it back. All of my fears were coming out. I knew Helena was beyond dangerous. I should've walked away. Now I was putting Jason in danger.
Jason came in. He looked so worried. He pulled me into his arms. He kissed my head. I held on like my life depended on it. I just kept crying. He rubbed my arms.
I did my best to calm down. He smiled sadly. I thanked him and apologized for breaking down. He held me for a moment longer. I started to feel better.
A short time later Jason told me he had to take care of Helena. I shuttered in fear. Sonny came in. Sonny said he would stay with me. Johnny and Francis were both going with Jason much to my relief.
Sonny and I talked. He told me about Michael and the new baby. He mentioned Carly. Then we talked about my Grams. I could tell he was trying to keep my mind off of what was going on.
Max came to check on us. He said that Carly was resting and that Michael was playing with Leticia. I asked if Max had heard from Jason. He said no but assured me that Jason could take care of himself. He also said Francis and Johnny wouldn't let anything happened to Jason.
