!NEW! Racing for What He Wants Chapter 1
***Thanks to Nette for all the editing she did. So Thanks for everything. Oh, and let me know that you think of this.
Racing for what He wants
Chapter 1
What you need to know: Elizabeth and Jason have never met before, and Jason is a professional race car driver. This does not take place in Port Charles, because of how small the city it is. But all the characters from the show will remain who there are. Jason and Courtney did take place, but not everything happened like it happened it in the show.
Elizabeth is now a waitress in a small restaurant. Lucky did die in the fire, and left Elizabeth heart broken. She moved on very slowly, but got on with her life.
*****
At Daytona Speedway, there are cars that go around and around the track. All longing to cross the finish line first. There are 42 drivers, hoping to finish, and not crash, making them survive yet another week. Pit crews communicate with the drivers, as they make the next lap.
Across town, there are customers in booths and tables, waiting for there food, and their drinks. Waitress in a pale pink uniform, rushing around the small dinner trying to fulfill everyone’s wants, and needs. Two people who have two different paths, all they need is fate to mess with them.
Jason finished the race, coming in 2nd place. That would just have to do, he thought to himself. Sometimes, between races, autographs, endorsement deals, he felt like he had no life. Sonny; Jason’s manager on the 77 car, had been nagging him, that he needed to loosen up a little more, for him to win a race. He headed back into the RV to wash, and change, he wanted to get out as quick as possible. He had just spent 4 ½ hours in a car, and he was hungry.
He heard the guys talking about a burger joint across town, and he thought he might go check it out. But he had to call his sister. She would worry about him, if she didn’t talk to him. He knew that by racing he was only hurting himself, and his family. Emily couldn’t bare to watch her big brother on tv, even though that was his job. So he called after the race, just to let her know that he was still alive.
After making that quick call, and leaving a message on her machine, he hopped into the shower. Then he slipped on a pair of old jeans, and a green polo shirt. He grabbed his sunglasses, and his hat and left. He slowly walked to his BMW in a hurry, to escape the crowd. He saw Sonny standing at his car, waiting to talk to him.
He didn't want to deal with Sonny. Sonny didn’t have that look of disgust on his face, he had the look of content.
“What do you want?” Jason asked.
“I want you to take a few days off, and don’t worry about anything. Just go home, and get a good night rest. Be in Dover, Delaware on Friday afternoon. I think your problem is that you worry too much about things. Ok.” Sonny said.
“Fine, I was just about to go to that diner, which the guys recommended. Want to join me?” Jason asked Sonny.
“Sure, Carly, not expecting me back for a couple of hours. I could go for a good hamburger. Are you going to dinner at the diner across town?”
“Yeah, I thought that I would try that out. Did you like it?” Jason asked.
“Yeah, I really liked that place, it’s kind of small, and the waitress’ are nice. You have to meet this girl, who waited on us before, she's gorgeous.” Sonny said.
“Sonny, it’s not going to work. I had a bad relationship last time, and I don’t want to be in a relationship right now.” Jason said.
“Jason, did I say that I was fixing you up with her, I just told you that she was cute, and to set the record straight, Courtney, was an idiot for only wanting you for your money. So with that said, let’s go eat.”
They got in the car, and headed across town.
“Liz, your orders up.” Penny said.
Liz, dragged her feet, to the kitchen. She was exhausted, and she still had another hour yet. She had been feeling like this all week. After the break up with her boyfriend, he left her with his debt. She had no choice but to work long hours to pay it off along with rent on her crappy apartment. She had to live in that rat infested place with no hot water most of the time. The neighbors upstairs would bang on the walls of the apartment. She needed a miracle. Her dream was to find another job, or a second job, to pay her way out of debt.
Jason and Sonny walked through the light green painted door, and inside to the air conditioned diner. The place was titty, and friendly. The brown haired waitress greeted them at the door, and escorted them to there seat.
“Elizabeth, do you feel like taking this one? There are two handsome guys at table 5, and only one of them is wearing a wedding ring. I’ll take them if you don’t want to?” Penny asked.
Elizabeth walked up to the two men sitting at the table. “Hi, my name is Elizabeth, I’ll be your waitress this afternoon, what can I get you to drink?” She asked, Sonny and Jason.
“I’ll have an ice tea.” Jason said.
“I’ll have the same.”
“Are you ready to order or would you like a couple more minutes to decide?” Elizabeth asked.
“I’m ready to order, are you Jason?” Sonny asked. With the nod of Jason head it told her that they were ready to order. “I’ll have the Speedway burger, with French fries.” Sonny said handing her the menu.
“I’ll have the deluxe Chicken Caesar Salad, with a side order of applesauce.” Jason said, as Elizabeth wrote it down on her pad, and hurried off to place the orders.
“Is that the girl that the guys were a talking about?” Jason whispered to Sonny.
“Yeah, what do you think of her? Isn’t she gorgeous?” Sonny asked.
“Yeah, but something is on her mind. She seemed like she wanted this day to be over. She didn’t look well.”
Elizabeth placed there orders in the kitchen, and headed to the break room for an aspirin. Her head was killing her, and she couldn’t get the feeling of dread out of her head. Ever since lazy boy Ric took all her money, and left her to deal with everything else. She needed this job, and she needed another one that paid more.
She walked out of the break room, and delivered more orders to the customers. When she reached Jason and Sonny’s table with their meal, something came over her that she was about to be sick. She basically through the plates on the table, and ran in the opposite direction to the bathroom with her hand over her mouth.
Jason felt sorry for the poor girl, so he ran after her. He even followed her into the restroom. Sonny being curious of what was going on, followed them.
“Can’t a girl get a little bit of privacy?” She said between throwing up when Sonny walked into the room. Sonny dismissed himself, seeing that Jason had everything under control.
When Elizabeth was finished throwing up, she was exhausted. “Who are you?” Elizabeth asked the guy that held her hair back while she threw up.
“I’m Jason, let me take you home, you shouldn’t be working right now.”
“But I have to finish my shift.” Elizabeth protested.
“I’ll take care of it. You just let me help you to my car, and we'll you get you home right now.” All Elizabeth could do is agree. Jason walked Elizabeth to his car, and then he went back inside to get her some soup, that he made Sonny order.
When he came back to his car he found Elizabeth asleep. He had no idea where her house was, so maybe he should just head home to Port Charles with her, and then he could take her back after the race on Sunday. He already told Penny that she won’t be in for a few days.
