This is my first fanficiton ever. I have been a loyal reader of this site since high school but have never written anything. I got this idea recently and just had to get it out. So bear with me. Hopefully you all like it. Be gentle in your reviews. AN. I own nothing and no one. All rights go to GH!
This story takes place a few months after Liz reveals to Jason that she has been lying and she knew for months. God, I hate what the writers are doing to my favorite couple as well as my favorite actress. Becky is a phenomenal actress who I adore but even I wanted to throttle her after hearing how she was going to keep Jake as Jason a secret.
I started watching General Hospital back in 2007 right before the black and white ball. I was so enamored by the chemistry between Jason and Liz that I decided to go back on Youtube and watch their history from the beginning. I have never stopped being a Liason fan and I probably never will.
Setting is a few weeks after the reveal. Jason and Liz have not spoken. He is too angry and hurt but he does still love her and he is having a hard time coming to terms with her betrayal. He's currently staying at Sonny's, having turned to him after the reveal. They are as equally close as they were before Jason "died". He see's Carly often, and although she wanted to go read Liz the riot act for keeping her best friend from her, Jason has demanded that she doesn't or else. In true Carly fashion, she agrees but bides her time until she can get Liz alone. Sam and Jason have been spending time with each other but only to co-parent Danny. As much as Sam hates her, she understand that Jason does love Liz and in my story, she tries to be a friend to Jason instead of trying to get him back. (A.N Its the way I thought it should always be.) Little Jake still see's his father but is having some major behavioral issues (yes stems from helena-more to come.) Jason comes over to see the boys but Liz leaves the house when Jason comes over. She doesn't want to see him any longer that she has too. I think that Elizabeth should have been paying more attention to Jake and his behavior from the getco, and be more of a responsible parent, so that's how she is in my story. Okay enough talking- here we go :)
Elizabeth woke up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. Groaning, she rolls over and presses ignore without looking at the phone. She doesn't want to know who is calling. Sighing, she sits up in her bed and puts her head in her hands. What a mess she has made of things. She knew lying was going to come back an bite her in the ass, she should have expected it instead of trying to convince herself that everything was going to be okay.
God, I was delusional" She says out loud as she pockets her phone into the breast pocket of her nightshirt without looking at it.
"Mommy, we are hungry" Liz turns to see her three boys standing at the doorway of her room. Cameron, Aiden and Jake had been up quietly playing for an hour or so before they heard their mom's alarm clock.
"What would my little men like to eat this morning?" Not that she has any energy to get up and cook, but her boys come first. As much as she is hurting, she knows they can't see that so she swings her legs aroung the front of the bed and puts on a smile as she walks downstairs with the boys running in front of her.
"Pancakes"
"Eggs"
"Cereal"
"Okay, why doesn't mommy cook breakfast while you guys play outside?" Getting a chorus of yeah's, she goes into the kitchen to start cooking while the boys run outside.
"Bzzzzzz" Her phone rings and she checks seeing it's Nikolas.
"Nikolas what's up?"
"Hey I just wanted to check and see how you were doing?" His smooth well mannered voice comes through the phone.
She sighs palcing the plates on the table, "Nik, you have called every morning, for the last two weeks to ask me that and I told you the answer isn't going to change. I made my own bed and now I have to lie in it."
Nikolas nods his head in silent agreement. He had warned her but she didn't listen and now she was paying the price. He felt bad for her. He cares about her and just wants her to be happy.
"True, and I know I have been calling alot. I just want to make sure that you don't have a breakdown. You're emotions are very fragile and I just want you to take care of your self and..."
"Not end back up in ShadyBrooke?" She finishes for him. When he doesn't answer she knows she is right. Thinking back on that time she grimaces, she didn't make any of the right choices back then and she knows it.
"Mommy come quick! Aiden's been hurt" Cameron yells from outside the window in the kitchen.
"Nikolas, I told you I will be okay. I have to be...for my boys. I got to go, I'll see you later." She runs out the door, leaving her phone on the table. Running over to the kids swing set, she sees Aiden on the ground crying and Jake standng above him just staring.
"Sweetie, what happened?" She asked her boys as she scoops up Aiden and starts to look him over, scanning for injuries.
"Jake pushed me" Her youngest sobs in her arms as he clings to her. Turning to Jake, she misses him rolling his stormy blue eyes. "Is this true Jake?"
"I didn't mean to hurt him mommy, honest. We were just playing." His eyes started to water almost immediately. Elizabeth took pity on him, believing him to be sincere.
"Okay Jakey, I understand that you are sorry but what you did wasn't very nice. Jake nodded. So no video games for you this afternoon and you need to apologize to your brother."
"Im sorry" Jake tries to look apologetic while seething on the inside. How dare she make him apologize to that brat. He was just brought back from the dead as everyone says, she should be letting him get away with murder. Just wait and be patient my boy, soon enough your time will come" He hears the icy voice of Helena in the back of his head as he starts to calm down.
Elizabeth, oblivious to the voices in his head and satisfied with his apology, puts Aiden back down on the swing and goes back inside to finish making breakfast. Making a note on the fridge to get Jake to see the new therapist Carter at General Hospital . She thought he might be having a hard time adjusting to being back around everyone but little did she know that Jake had plans. Plans that would shatter her entire world.
