This was based on spoilers way before we even knew what the ball was going to be about. So Enjoy.
The party was in full-swing, everyone dressed to the nines, a sea of black and white dresses and tuxedos filled the room. The citizens of Port Charles were celebrating the engagement of Nikolas Cassadine to Emily Quartermaine Cassadine. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Why then, did Elizabeth not feel like celebrating?
Her secret was out. By now the whole town had heard about the true paternity of Jake. They also knew about her deciet for the past year, and how it had affected Lucky. He was devestated. Of course, she thought, it didn't stop him from bringing his latest whore to the party. She kept reminding herself that she knew they were both going to be at the party; after all Lucky is Nikolas' brother, and Sam was his cousin. Rolling her eyes, she chuckled softly. Talk about your twisted, incestous scenarios.
She stood against a back wall, watching as the other party-goers danced and laughed. She smiled wistfully, wishing she could feel happy, when all she wanted to do was curl up and cry herself to sleep. She was surprised at the support she received, from people she really didn't expect; Lulu being one of them. Emily, of course was her rock, and Robin told her she had her back. Spinelli, while strange, was also very supportive, and took immediately to her boys. Epiphany, much to her surprise had known all along that Jake was Jason's and just shook her head, commenting on how maybe Elizabeth would actually be getting some work done during her shift.
However, not everyone was that forgiving. Maxie, of course, couldn't wait to get her digs in about how the Mighty Elizabeth Webber had tarnished her crown. Luke had turned his back on her, understandibly. She had lied and decieved his son for a year. While Nik told her about his disappointment about the lie, he chose not to take sides. He had a lot on his mind these days as it was anyway; he was trying to figure out what was going on with his violent episodes.
Then there was Sam and Lucky. While Elizabeth understood that Lucky would hate her, she couldn't understand why he was still with her. He had found out just a few days after the truth came out that Sam had known for months. So, why was he able to forgive her so quickly? Was she that good in bed? Elizabeth shuddered disgustingly at the thought. No need to be painting that picture.
Her eyes scanned the room, watching all the beautiful people having a good time. She just couldn't. The truth was out, but she still wasn't happy. She knew why. She still wasn't with the one person she wanted to be with.
Jason stood by her through it all. When the test results came back, proving to Lucky that Jason was indeed Jake's father, he had been right by her side when Lucky read them. When Lucky tried to lash out at Elizabeth, physically grabbing for her, Jason had held him back, practically having to choke him out to get him to back off. He defended her to Carly, who had let it be known in no uncertain terms that she would do anything in her power to keep them apart. Elizabeth, in a small way, felt bad for Carly. She was left out of a part of Jason's life. That didn't help her distain for her.
Sighing, she grabbed the side of her poofy white ball gown and pulled up the skirts, walking out the double doors into the hallway. Looking for a quiet place, she found a small den off to the right. She walked in and closed the door behind her, sitting on the leather couch, sitting back and closing her eyes.
She didn't want to be at this party. If she were honest with herself, she knew exactly where she wanted to be; in Jason's arms. With everything that had happened in the past few weeks, they really hadn't had a chance to talk about what was next for them. She knew he loved her. She smiled as she remembered the two times he actually said it. She had waited so long to hear those words from him, and he definately did not disappoint. What she didn't know was where they could go from here. Now that everyone knew Jake was his son, they were all in danger. She realized that, in the end, the safest place was to be with Jason. She had every faith in him to keep all of them safe.
So lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear the door open. Only when the door clicked shut again did she open her eyes, a smile forming on her lips as she recognized the person.
"Jason."
