(Elizabeth's point of view)
I had fallen asleep. I felt strange being in Jason's bed. Sonny said Jason wouldn't mind. I tried to get Sonny to go home. He said he would wait. I even brought up Carly. He said she knew where he was.
I dreamed about Lucky. Lucky was telling me it was okay to fall in love again. Lucky promised me he was okay. Lucky then said good bye and Jason appeared. He called out to me. I can to Jason.
"Elizabeth wake up. Elizabeth sweetheart." Jason yelled.
"I'm awake." I mumbled.
"She won't hurt you, the Spencer's, or anyone again." Jason said.
"Will you be in trouble?" I asked worried about him.
"No and I can stay here as long as you want me to." He answered vaguely.
"Am I a bad person for being glad she's gone?" I asked.
"No she was well evil." Jason answered.
"I should get up." I said.
"No go back to sleep. I'll take you home in the morning." Jason said.
"I can sleep somewhere else." I said.
"You stay here I'll go to the guest room. Here's a t-shirt you can't be comfortable sleeping in your clothes." Jason said.
"Thank you Jason. Thank you for everything. I'll never be able to repay you." I said pulling him into a hug.
"No problem sleep well." He said kissing my head.
I woke up late. It was already noon. I couldn't believe I slept so long. I hurried and got dressed. I was disappointed to not see Jason anywhere. I opened the door and saw Francis.
"Morning Francis." I said.
"Good afternoon Liz." He said smiling.
"Thank you Francis for helping and having Jason's back." I said referring to Helena.
"Not a problem. Jason went to Kelly's to get you both lunch. He should be right back." Francis explained.
"Oh okay. Thanks." I said.
Jason returned 20 minutes later. He got our regulars from Kelly's. We ate in silence. After we finished eating Jason said he had a meeting soon. He asked if I wanted to stay or go back to my studio.
I decided to go back to my studio. I had so much make-up work to do still. I did ask Jason on the way if he was come by later. He smiled and said he would bring dinner. I was shocked to see Luke and Laura waiting.
"Hello Elizabeth I hope we aren't interrupting." Laura said.
"No come in." I said.
"I need to get going." Jason said.
"Okay see you later." I said.
"Jason I wanted to thank you for not only saving Liz but helping when I broke down." Laura said to Jason.
"Uh no big deal." Jason mumbled.
"Morgan she's right we really appreciate everything." Luke said.
"Yeah well Elizabeth is safe and that's all I care about." Jason said before looking at me again before leaving.
"I hope we didn't run Jason off." Laura said frowning.
"No you didn't he had a meeting. How are you? How are you both?" I asked feeling ashamed that I hadn't even tried to call Laura.
"I'm okay. We're okay. How's your arm?" Laura asked.
"It's better everyday." I answered.
"I'm sorry I just left. I just couldn't deal. I'm so thankful Morgan saved you." Luke said.
"It's okay Jason did save me. He's taking good care of me." I said.
"Sonny told us Helena's gone." Luke said.
"I feel guilty. She's gone because of me." I said.
"No that woman was pure demon. The world is better without her." Laura said.
"It's good to see you both. I'm sorry I haven't called or anything." I said.
"I wanted to go and see you right after. I honestly wasn't well." Laura explained.
"Lucky loved you Liz. You made his world whole." Luke said.
"Lucky healed me. I loved him." I said.
"Elizabeth we love you. You'll always be family to us. I do think Lucky would want us all to move forward." Laura said.
"Laura's right he knew we loved him. He would want us all to be happy especially you." Luke said.
"He knew you both loved him too. And he loved you." I said reassuring them.
"Can we all try to move forward? If you need us please come to us." Laura said.
"Yes I would like that." I answered.
"Find love again." Laura said.
"I will. And I would love to baby-sit Lulu sometime." I said.
"Anytime you want Liz." Laura said hugging me.
The three of us hugged. Laura started crying. That made me cry. A while later they left. I called Emily. We clearly the air. We went and visited my Grams.
I told Grams and Emily about my talk with Luke and Laura. Jason called and said his meeting was going to run late. He said for me to go ahead and have dinner. I told him to come by later even if it was late.
Emily and I went to dinner. After dinner Emily went home. I did my make-up work. I was getting tired. I really wanted to see Jason. I decided to lay down while I wait for Jason.
