I'm Sorry It Took Me So Long To Update. I REALLY Wasn't Getting Much Inspiration. Now That I'm Getting Some Good Scenes I Feel much More Like Writing. LOL.
For Her Protection- Part 26
LL2; Kaidan; Bo/Nora
Elizabeth Was Almost afraid to look at the woman who had called herself her mother for longer then she could remember. It wasn't that she was afraid of what she would tell her; she had come to expect nothing but lies. It was more that she was afraid of what she wouldn't say. All her life she wanted to know what it felt like to have a mother that actually cared about her life... that would go shopping with her or ask about her dreams... and she had never gotten that even ONCE from the woman who was standing in front of her. And the sad thing is that she had known her birth mother for only a short amount of time and she had already gotten more out of her then she had EVER gotten from the woman who raised her. And maybe that was what scared her. Was that what it felt like to have a mother who loved her? Did she have to grow up without that in order to feel it so freely now?
Forcing back her fears and her tears, she looked her in the eyes as her hands began to tremble.
Elizabeth: I don't know why you're so afraid? I'm not your problem anymore.
Woman: Elizabeth, Please...
Elizabeth: No, Stop. Stop pretending that you give a d**n. See I know what it feels like to have someone love you and I know what it's like to have someone who doesn’t. If you loved me at all, you would have been a part of my life. So why? Why did you lie to me about the most important thing in my life? Why didn't you tell me what happened?
Woman: There's A Lot you don't know.
Elizabeth: So why don't you just tell me? It's not like it matters now. We're all grown up now. I want to know why you lied to everyone.
Woman: I... I thought I was protecting you. You're a mother now. Certainly you can understand that.
Elizabeth: I don't understand that kind of protection. You didn't just lie to me. You lied to her. You wouldn't even let her see me. Then you told her I was dead. What kind of person does that?
Woman: I didn't want you to live a life of shame. Is that so terrible?
Elizabeth: What's terrible is the fact that you tore our lives apart. I would have forgiven you if you had just told me the truth. But you never once told me I was adopted. Instead, you just continued to lie. And then you set Nora up for the worst day of her life by telling her that her child was dead. I know what that feels like because I've lost a child. I can't condone doing that to ANYONE, no matter what your reasons are. My whole life was based on a lie. And it ends here.
Woman: What are you saying?
Elizabeth: I'm getting married in a few months. I don't want you or dad anywhere near my wedding. I'm going to ask Nora to walk me down the aisle.
Woman: You don't mean that. You don't even know her.
Elizabeth: I mean every word. I may not know her very well but in the little time I HAVE known her, she's given me more then you could EVER give me. She might not have raised me but she's my mother in every way that counts. I want to know my mom. I want her to be a part of my life. And you... you're not my mom anymore. You NEVER treated me like I was your daughter and now that I know that I'm not then I can finally break free. Don't call me. Don't come to visit. I want nothing more to do with you.
And with that she turned and walked out the door. Lucky just looked at her.
Lucky: You know, you really are a fool for giving up a chance to be her mother. If you had just paid attention to her, even a little... if you hadn't lied to her... you wouldn't have cost yourself an incredible woman. And you've got no one to blame but yourself for the fact that she wants a mother who loves her... who HAS loved her... Who wanted her since birth but was kept away from her. Nora's an amazing woman with a huge capacity for love and understanding... just like her daughter. And at the end of the day? What have you got? A big empty house with lots of material things but none of the love that makes a house a home. As far as I can See, YOU'RE the one who's poor.
And with that he slammed the door and found Elizabeth sitting on the steps crying. He put his arms around her and she cried.
________________________________________________________
Nora turned to look at her kids as she tried in vain not to break down. It was the first time since it happened that she really allowed herself to feel the emotions and she felt safe enough to know that they would let her.
Rachel: You were raped?
Nora: I was involved with a man when I was younger. I thought I loved him. More then that I thought He loved me. Turns out I was wrong. He set me up to be raped by his brother.
Matthew: What does that mean mom?
Nora: Well it… basically it means that he wouldn’t listen when I said no. You see Matthew when you get older and you want to be with a woman, you have to respect her decision if she doesn’t want to be with you. When a woman says no, she means no.
Matthew: did he hurt you?
Nora: Yeah sweetie, he did. He hurt me a lot. And it hurt so bad that I just pushed it out of my mind and pretended that it wasn’t happening. I know now that that was a big mistake.
Rachel: So what did you do after you found out you were pregnant?
Nora: It actually started before that. The guy that raped me got away with it and I lost it. I came after him with a knife. If it hadn’t been for my friend Aidan, I probably would have killed him. But he took me away and then cleaned up the mess so I wouldn’t get charged with anything. The weird thing is that he was the brother of the man who raped me and the man that broke my heart. My father had me shipped off to some psych ward right after that and I didn’t see him for years. I tried to get him to tell me where he was but he wouldn’t listen. He was convinced that he was as bad as his brothers when the truth is that I wouldn’t have survived without him. After I lost my child I didn’t speak to my family… I didn’t speak to anyone for a long time.
Matthew: What do you mean you lost your child mom?
Nora: Well they ripped her out of my arms when I said I was giving her away. I only did it because I just turned 18 and I didn’t have the capacity to give her the life that she deserved. I wanted my child to grow up with love and not to feel the kind of shame that a child of rape feels. But after I got my life together and was able to get out of the psych ward, I wanted to find her. Her adopted parents told me she was dead. That had to be one of the worst days of my life. I didn’t think I’d survive it. And I didn’t really. I had a setback. I almost went back to the psych ward but my sister helped me find my way back. I even put up a plaque in the park to honor her memory. A couple years ago I found out that I was lied to. I’ve been looking for her ever since.
Rachel: And you found her?
Nora: Her name is Elizabeth Webber. She’s the woman I was held hostage with in that where house. She helped keep me alive. And it’s so strange because we had this bond right away. I didn’t understand it at first but now I do. She’s my daughter. And despite everything in my life, my kids have always been the most important thing to me.
Rachel: Yeah I think you’ve proven that a million times… hasn’t she Matthew?
Matthew: She’s the best mom in the whole world.
Nora (Smiling): Well thank you my little man. I know you hate it when I call you that but I can’t help it Matthew. You’ll always be my little boy. (She pulled him into a hug and Rachel joined them)
Rachel: So when do we get to meet our sister?
Nora: Soon. Elizabeth’s throwing a party for all of us to get together and meet. I’d like you both to be there.
Rachel: I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Matthew: Neither would I?
Nora: Good. Now if you don’t mind, I really would like to go get changed. I’ve been stuck in the same clothes for too long now.
They all laughed as Nora walked away. Bo finally turned to Matthew and Rachel.
Bo: Now that she’s out of the room, I’d like to talk to you about something.
Rachel: And what might that be?
He pulled the ring out of his pocket and showed it to her.
Bo: I’d like to do this the right way this time. I’d like to ask for your permission to marry your mother.
________________________________________________________
Aidan: I don’t believe this. You’re actually trying to turn me against the best friend I’ve ever known. What kind of universe are you living in? Nora would never keep me from something like this?
Paige: Well maybe she just didn’t get a chance to tell you then. Either way, it doesn’t matter. I’m your sister.
Kendall: Based on what? Your word? Like that’s worth ANYTHING.
Paige: I take it you don’t like me much?
Kendall: Why should I? I know what you did to Nora. And by default that means you hurt Aidan. I don’t forgive that kind of thing very easily.
Paige: Have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY I would do that? I mean really Kendall, what would I have to gain from setting her up to be kidnapped?
Aidan: Oh I don’t know. Maybe you’re just a whack job who gets off on other people’s misery. And maybe you were hoping you could find a way to manipulate Bo back into your bed while she was gone.
Paige: Boy, Nora sure has filled your head with lies hasn’t she?
Aidan: Lies? You think Nora was LYING? YOU’RE the one who lied. You lied to Bo to keep him away from the woman he truly loves. That sounds like manipulation to me.
Paige: Look, if you don’t want to believe me why don’t you just have me investigated. That IS your job isn’t it?
Aidan: You can bet that I will do just that. But in the meantime, why don’t you just tell me why you would come back after all this time? IF you are my sister and I’m not saying you are… But if you are then where have you been all this time? Why are you just now coming out of the woodwork? Could it be that you helped my brothers kidnap Nora and her daughter?
Paige: What are you saying? Do you really believe that I could do something like that?
Aidan: Why not? You practically admitted that you set her up to be kidnapped? How do we know it stops there? How do we know you weren’t a part of it?
Paige: What would I have to gain from it?
Kendall: That’s a simple one. You’d have the satisfaction of hurting a woman you hate. Come on Paige… you blame Nora for taking Bo away from you. Why wouldn’t you want to make her pay?
Aidan: And if my brothers got to you then your not here for a family reunion… you’re here to cause problems. They’re the ones who found you aren’t they? They’re the ones who kept you away from your family for years. At least have the decency to admit it.
Paige: Ok fine. I admit it. I’m on Josh and Jacob’s side. Are you happy now?
Aidan: Well at least it makes sense. Now you can get the hell out of my life.
Paige: You don’t mean that. Doesn’t family mean anything to you?
Aidan: It did. I loved you. If you were the sister that left then I’d welcome you with open arms. But you’re not. Your Josh and Jacob’s puppet. And anyone who would side with them isn’t welcome in my life.
Paige: Why? Because of your precious Nora. Come on Aidan? Don’t tell me you’re still hung up on her? Can’t you see she’s toxic?
Aidan: The only one who’s toxic is you. (Pause) Not that it’s any of your business but Nora’s my friend. I care about her. I WON’T let anyone hurt her again. But that doesn’t mean I’m in love with her. Believe it or not I’m over her. I’m glad she’s happy because she deserves it. But it’s Kendall that I want to be with. As for you, I don’t want anything to do with you. You’ve been dead to me for years…Why should that change just because you’re standing in the flesh?
Paige: Because I’m your family.
Aidan: No your not. You’re a complete stranger who hurt one of my best friends and sided with my psycho brothers. That means your dead to me.
Kendall: In other words get the hell out.
She just looked between them before she turned to go. Before she left she turned around one more time.
Paige: You’re going to regret this. All of you will.
And with that she was gone.
Kendall: Are you Ok?
Aidan: I Will Be. I have to see Nora.
