Chapter51
~ Kelly’s ~

Lucky was furious. He had told Elizabeth that he still loved her yet she still severed all ties with him. Assuming that she would need at least a day to cool off Lucky stayed away from her studio. And not seeing her at Kelly’s only strengthened what he thought. Elizabeth still cared for him and would eventually come back to him and apologize for all the things she said and they would once again be a couple. He hated hurting Deanna but in the end it seemed that was what he would have to do. However after the third day with still no word from her and not having seen Jason either Lucky thought it would be best to go and check her studio to see what had them held up in there. Much to his surprise they were no were to be found. And as the days they were gone lengthened so too did is anger. So as he sat at a table nearest the door at Kelly’s his anger continued to grow and fester. When Nikolas and Gia strode into Kelly’s hand in hand Lucky had reached the end of his proverbial fuse and nothing they did could calm him down.

Gia- [blushing and laughing as Nikolas whispered something in her ear] You are nasty…
Nikolas- [laughing] You like it…
Gia- [smiling] What makes you think that?
Nikolas- [smiling] I haven’t heard you complaining…as a matter of fact if I remember correctly you made a few suggestions yourself.
Gia- [smiling] Yeah I guess I did.
Nikolas- [smiling] Then go ahead…admit you like it…
Gia- [smiling brightly] I don’t like it…I love it.
Nikolas- [stopping to kiss her] Good…
Gia- [equally returning his kiss] Good…
Nikolas- [noticing Lucky behind them staring at them] Oh I’m sorry I didn’t see you there. Hey Lucky…
Gia- [turning to Lucky still holding Nikolas’s hand] Hey Lucky…
Nikolas- [noticing Lucky’s darkening expression] Lucky…what’s wrong?

Lucky did not answer him but instead looked from Nikolas to Gia quickly becoming angrier and angrier.

Gia- [turning to look at Nikolas] What’s wrong with him?
Nikolas- [shrugging his shoulders] I don’t know…

As Nikolas went to touch his shoulder to assure that his brother was ok Lucky suddenly stood up and punched him in face. Nikolas fell back less from the force of Lucky’s punch but more so from the shock of it. At that exact same moment Deanna, Emily and Juan came into Kelly’s.

Gia- [yelling as she bent to help Nikolas] The hell is wrong with you Lucky?
Deanna- [shocked] Lucky…
Emily- Oh my God! [She quickly went to help Gia with Nikolas as he got up off the floor]
Nikolas- [angered holding his eye] What the hell was that for?
Lucky [angrily yelling shaking his hand as the pain of his actions began to take effect] This is all your fault!
Nikolas- [yelling] This is my fault…what in the hell are you talking about?
Lucky- [angrily pointing at Gia] No her fault…Gia… This is all your fault. Had you minded your own damn business…
Gia- What are you talking about?
Lucky- She left me…[yelling] Thanks to you that bitch left me!
Nikolas- Lucky what are you yelling about?
Lucky- Elizabeth…she’s gone. Thanks to Gia and her big mouth Elizabeth left me.
[Deanna quickly turned and walked out of Kelly’s]
Gia- Thanks to me…this is all your doing… I didn’t have anything to do with Elizabeth leaving you because if I had she would have left you a long time ago.
Lucky- [coming towards Gia] Watch your damn mouth!
Juan- [quickly coming between Lucky and Gia] Come on man…you’re making a bad situation worse.
Lucky- [yelling trying to push Juan out of the way] No…she should have kept her mouth closed!
Gia- What happened between you and Elizabeth is your own doing…
Lucky- [looking at Nikolas] You better get her before I have to shut her up myself…
Nikolas- [angrily] Don’t ever talk to Gia like that again. Do you hear me?
Lucky- [yelling] No…thanks to her everything is over. Everything is ruined…
Emily- [softly] Where is Elizabeth…she shouldn’t see Lucky like this…
Lucky- [turning his anger towards Emily] And you…you were supposed to be my friend…
Emily- [confused shaking her head] Lucky I am your friend…
Lucky- [shouting] No you’re not…you could have prevented this…all of this!
Juan- What are you talking about now?
Lucky- She could have asked him to left. He would have left if she asked him.
Emily- Who are you talking about?
Lucky- Don’t you get it?
Emily- [shaking her head] Lucky I…
Lucky- [shouting] She left with Jason dammit!
Emily/Juan- [in unison shocked] Jason?
Lucky- Yes Jason…that unfaithful bitch is off sleeping with Jason somewhere.
Nikolas- Lucky stop…
Lucky- [turning back to Nikolas] No…and you went along with everything Gia was doing. You could have stopped her. You could have…
Nikolas- You can’t put the blame of what happened between you and Elizabeth on anyone but yourself.
Lucky- [yelling] Bull… if all of you had minded your own business…
Gia- You’d still be sleeping with Deanna behind Elizabeth’s back and blaming Jason for all your mistakes.
Nikolas- Gia…
Emily [looking at Lucky shocked] You slept with Deanna behind Elizabeth’s back and you are still trying to blame someone else for the breakup of your relationship. Lucky you have a lot of nerve.
Lucky- [fanning his hand at Emily] Shut up…
Gia- [surprisingly] Don’t talk to Emily like that…
Lucky- [looking at Gia] None of this would be happening if you would’ve kept your damn mouth shut.
Nikolas- Lucky you can’t put the blame for this on anyone except yourself. If you had of treated Elizabeth like something maybe she would still with you. You can’t keep putting someone down and pushing aside how they feel because it’s not something you want to hear. Now I can’t speak for Elizabeth but don’t ever speak to Gia, Emily or anyone else like that while you are in my presence.
Lucky- [unmoved by Nikolas’s words] And if I do…
Nikolas- [shaking his head as he took Gia’a hand to leave] Then you will truly be alone. You’ve already lost Elizabeth and possibly Deanna because of your little scene today. Don’t force me to be the next one who walks out on you.
Emily- [shaking her head as she looked at Lucky] I can’t believe this…
Lucky- [anger still coursing through him] What?
Emily- [softly] You Lucky…you. [Slowly she and Juan turned and left Kelly’s leaving Lucky as Nikolas foresaw…alone]
Lucky- [realizing his world was slowly crumbling around him] Who needs them anyway…

Lucky collapsed in the chair he had long vacated as the repercussions of his words and actions finally hit him. While he shouted his words in anger and frustration he may have alienated everyone that meant anything to him. Needing some time to think he quickly left Kelly’s setting out on a path unknown. After walking around for hours he headed back to Kelly’s until again something set him off.

Chapter 52
~ Kelly’s ~

As they neared Port Charles this time Elizabeth was happy. This time when they returned Jason would stay with her. This time she did not have to go back to Lucky and pretend to be happy when she wasn’t. She hugged Jason tighter as thoughts of last night came to her. When they lay in the bathtub together, her legs wrapped around Jason, she wanted so badly to tell him that she loved him. But she held back because she did not want him to think he was a rebound statement from her finally breaking away from Lucky. Soon though…soon she would tell him in each and every way just how much she truly loved him. And regardless to who did not accept their newfound relationship did not matter. Jason was hers now and she his and nothing or no one would come between them. They slowed to a stop in the alley by Kelly’s and Elizabeth carefully dismounted the bike and stood next to Jason.

Jason- [moving back on the bike] We’re here.
Liz- I see…
Jason- [smiling] Did you enjoy yourself?
Liz- [smiling brightly] Immensely!
Jason- [smiling] That’s good to hear.
Liz- [smiling] Well yeah…but then again considering the company I was with I would have enjoyed any place we were at.
Jason- [grinning] Really?
Liz- [smiling as she nodded her head] Really.
Jason- Well…I guess you have to go…
Liz- Aren’t you coming in with me?
Jason- I don’t know…do you think everyone knows about us yet?
Liz- Who cares if they know or don’t know.
Jason- I do…[pausing] Elizabeth I don’t want to put even more burden on you than what will already be there.
Liz- [softly] Jason…
Jason- And considering the fact that more than likely your friends are in Kelly’s right now maybe…
Liz- You don’t want to come in there with me?
Jason- Yeah I do…but you remember last time. I don’t want that coming on you again after what we just shared.
Liz- Jason I don’t care…I want you to come in Kelly’s with me. People will find out eventually.
Jason- I know…but…
Liz- [smiling softly] Is there anyway…rather anything I could do to convince you to change your mind?
Jason- [smiling] Well…I don’t know…
Liz- [softly] I bet I can think of something…
Jason- [smiling] You can try but…
Liz- Well…[slowly mounting the bike again but this time facing Jason] it doesn’t hurt to try does it?
Jason- [smiling] Elizabeth…we’re in an alley…
Liz- [slowly beginning to kiss his neck] I know…
Jason- [breathlessly as her kisses continued] Eliz…Elizabeth…we…we’re outside in public and pe…people might see us…
Liz- [continuing to kiss his neck slowly moving to his mouth] I know…
Jason- > [softly] Eliz…
Liz- [in between kisses] Jason…just shut up and kiss me…
Jason- Liz… [Kissing passionately all other protest were forgotten as they got lost in the moment. Gently positioning her legs over his Jason pulled her closer deepening their kiss nearly forgetting where they were. He knew kissing her in public like this before they told others about their relationship was reckless but he couldn’t get enough of her.] Liz…we have to stop...
Liz- [softly] I know…
Jason- [softly touching her face as he continued to kiss her] Come on…
Liz- [tenderly kissing his neck as she ran her hand over his chest] I…I don’t want to…
Jason- [softly] Neither do I but…
Liz- [pulling away] I know…I know…
Jason- [softly touching her face] It’s not that I don’t want to kiss you. Hell I will kiss you all day if that’s what you really want…
Liz- [softly] Then what is it? I mean…
Jason- [softly smiling] Considering how your friends reacted the first time when all we were doing was holding hands can you imagine their faces if they had walked up on this?
Liz- [laughing] Do I have to?
Jason- [smiling] I don’t want you to have to go through that again…
Liz- [shaking her head slowly] Jason don’t you see…I don’t care. As long as you are with me nothing they say will bother me.
Jason- [softly] Are you sure?
Liz- [a slow smile coming across her face] Well…I can always kiss you again and maybe then you will know I mean it.
Jason- [devilishly smiling] Well you kiss me like that again and there be no doubt about what’s going on between us.
Liz- [smiling] Hmmm… I like the sound of that.
Jason- [smiling] So do I but uh maybe we should move this inside before we get arrested for indecent exposure.
Liz- What do you have mind?
Jason- [laughing] Let’s go inside and I’ll show you.
Liz- [kissing Jason quickly before dismounting the bike again] I like the sound of that…let’s go.

Smiling as they quickly inside Kelly’s neither realized that they were being watched the whole time. Entering Kelly’s they were surprised to see Kelly’s practically empty with no sign of her friends around. Going upstairs to her apartment Jason welcomed Elizabeth home as only he could. After a several hours Jason kissed Elizabeth goodbye having to go and check his own apartment making sure everything was as it should be. Promising to return as quickly as possible Jason went to his only to be met by the last person he wanted to see.

Jason- What do you want?
Lucky- [angrily] Did you enjoy yourself?
Jason- [trying best to control his anger] What does it matter to you?
Lucky- Well you were with my girlfriend...
Jason- Ex…ex-girlfriend.
Lucky- [smirking] Ex-girlfriend…not that it matters. But tell me did you enjoy your little getaway?
Jason- Why do you care?
Lucky- Just wondering if it was worth all the trouble.
Jason- [calmly as he leaned against his bike] Lucky I’m not gonna do this with you. You can think and wonder whatever you want but I’m not going there… Do you understand?
Lucky- [smirking] We can keep this between us. It’ll be our little secret.
Jason- Lucky leave…[pausing as he crossed his arms as he tried getting a hold of his growing anger] stay away from Elizabeth.
Lucky- Come on…you can tell me. What was she like? You know… this wasn’t exactly her first time but I’m sure you overlooked that.
Jason- [looking at Lucky] What did you say?
Lucky- [sneering] Well considering what I heard about the first time…
Jason- [his anger beginning to rise] Watch yourself Lucky before you say something you might regret.
Lucky- [cocking his head to the side] Is that a threat or a promise?
Jason- Take it however you want to take it.
Lucky- I’m sure Elizabeth…
Jason- You don’t have to worry about Elizabeth.
Lucky- I’m sure Elizabeth won’t like you threatening me.
Jason- Believe me you are the last thing Elizabeth is thinking about.
Lucky- Ok so you don’t want to give me all the details about your little getaway but tell me this… Is it better?
Jason- Is what better?
Lucky- [sneering] Is it better with an whore or with someo…

Before Lucky could finish his question Jason’s hands were around his throat.

Jason- [through clenched teeth] Didn’t I tell you to never disrespect her again.
Lucky- [struggling to remove Jason’s tightening hands] How is it disrespect when I’m speaking the truth?
Jason- [angrily] Don’t ever…

Knowing Jason’s anger was getting the best of him Lucky took the opportunity to swing at Jason punching him in his stomach. Jason released Lucky as he was winded by the unexpected punch. Lucky swung on him again hitting Jason squarely on the jaw. Jason staggered away reeling from the blow to his face. Recovering quickly though he raced towards Lucky ready for vengeance for the unexpected punches and the words spoke against Elizabeth. Slamming him up against the hard cold brick wall they continued to trade blows until they were forcibly pulled apart.

Sonny- [yelling] What the hell is going on here?
Lucky- [shouting] Don’t you ever put your hands on me again…
Jason- [shouting in response] Or what?
Lucky- [shouting as Johnny kept him from rushing back towards Jason] Try me and you’ll be sorry.
Sonny- [as he held Jason at bay] Lucky…leave!
Lucky- [pushing Johnny away from him] You can’t make me leave…
Sonny- [shouting] Johnny get him out of here.
Lucky- [shouting at Jason as Johnny pulled him away from the alley] We’re not finished…do you hear me? We’re not finished with this!
Jason- [shouting as Sonny continued to hold him back] Come near Elizabeth again and I will finish it.
Sonny [pushing at Jason] Get a hold of yourself… What is all of this about?
Jason- [pushing Sonny’s hands away] Don’t worry about it…
Sonny- Don’t worry about it… I come here and find the two of you fighting in the alley. Jason what the hell is wrong with you?
Jason- [running his hand through his hair] He said something I didn’t like…
Sonny- About what?
Jason- [shaking his head] It doesn’t matter now but if he says it again…
Sonny- You’re gonna do what?
Jason- [angrily] Make sure he doesn’t say it again.
Carly- [shaking her head] What… did he say something about your precious Elizabeth?
Sonny- [yelling] Carly!
[Slowly turning Carly as he realized she was standing behind him. His eyes hardened as his voice filled again with anger] Jason- You…
Sonny- [confused by his reaction to Carly] Jason?
Jason- [angrily] Didn’t I tell you to stay away from her? Didn’t I tell you to stay out of my life and what goes on in it?
Sonny- [confused as he came to stand between Jason and Carly] Jason…what’s going on with you?
Jason- [shouting] I told you…I told you not to go near her…
Carly- [shaking her head confused by Jason’s outburst] I…I didn’t.
Jason- Why Carly? Why in the hell did you do it?
Carly- [confused] What are you talking about?
Jason- [hands on his hips] What didn’t your cousin inform you?
Carly- [slowly as recognition came over her] Inform me about what?
Jason- Your little plan… [shaking his head] It didn’t work.
Carly- [softly] Jason I can explain…
Jason- Explain… you can’t explain what you did. What were you hoping to get out of hurting Elizabeth? We have nothing left…what were you hoping to get?
Carly- [shouting] Her the hell away from you! Don’t you get it yet…she’s only gonna bring you down. This is the second time I’ve seen you fighting over that slut. She won’t be happy until…
Sonny- [shouting] Carly stop it! Jason what the hell are you talking about?
Jason- [looking at Carly] Are you going to tell him or do you want me to?
