| Chapter 4: Joe Berkly stepped off the plane and into the airport Terminal. So this was Port Charles. When he was at Rutgers his best friend Emily would talk about it and then later his wife Elizabeth would talk about it. He couldn't think about her. She had gone from this sweet wonderful woman who seemed to think only of him to someone who never thought of him but of a lost relationship. Liz ran to the elevator just as Lucky had stepped on. "Please hold it." She called out. As she stepped on Lucky smiled. "Hello Liz. How are you?" "I'm just Peachy." She said as the doors closed and they began there decent upwards. "Peachy?" Lucky asked as the elevator jearked. "I was until that." Liz said as she grabbed hold of the railing as the elevator stopped. "Great, it'll be at least an hour before they get around to us." "How do you know?" "Cause it's always atleast an hour. At least we know nothing is going to happen between us. The last *three* times the elevator has gotten jammed some odd couples ended up together." "Like who?" "The Doctors Ramsey's, Karen and Chris Ramsey. Hated each other before the elevator After got married with in a month. Then there was The Doctors Harmon's, Eve and Matt. That still puzzles me and then after that came Nikolas and this woman Amber-Leigh Ruerup. She's kinda like this total hippie kinda chick from Boulder Valley. You know what they're like. And Nikolas is well Nikolas. They're engaged to get married." "So nothing can ever happen between us is that what your saying?" Liz asked not careing about the otehr but only the truth. "Liz, I'm in love with Emily." "No your not." "What?! You don't think I know who I love?" "I feel you *think* you love Emily. But in reality you love me, you always have." "Liz, your wrong. Emily is the woman who has my heart completely and forever." "Lucky, please listen to me." "No!" The elevator starts up again and arrives at the floor. Lucky storms out and doesn't look back. Liz steps out and then runs to the staircase...crying. Joe walked up to the registartion desk and rang the bell. The manager came out. "Hello and welcome to the Port Charles Hotel. What can I do for you sir?" "Hi, I have a reservation under the name Berkley." "Joe Berkley or Elizabeth Berkley?" "Joe." The manager takes out a key card and hands it to joe after he finshes registaring. As he stepped on the elevator he turned and saw Liz there as well. "Well Elizabeth, you just couldn't allow Lucas and Emily to be happy could you." She looked up and she glared at him. she looks as though she would either break down and start crying in his arms or give him a nice crisp right hook. "Go to HELL JOE! What the Hell are you doing here?" "The paper sent me." "Sure, you came to make sure I didn't so something stupid." "Get over yourself Elizabeth." "Shove it." Joe realized he better keep his mouth shut or he wouldn't be able to shut it for a few days. |
