I don't want to disappoint you reviewers, but I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, so those reviews (which are greatly appreciated) might inspire me to think otherwise, so here is chapter four enjoy!

Lizzie walked one way in the same direction. She did not really know where she was going, but really needed to think. Everything in her life was so confusing anymore; especially with Jonathan admitting that he was jealous of her relationship with Bill.

Now she did know why she walked away, but the reasons were all right there, right in front of her.

Lizzie continued on walking till she got towards the main part of town, and found a place with a bar, a place similar to that of Towers; she would fit in perfectly.

The room was fairly crowded but spread out; Lizzie took a seat at the bar and immediately ordered herself a drink.

"Vodka martini please."

The bartender did as commanded and began making Lizzie's drink. Meanwhile a guy a few seats down took an interest in Lizzie. About five-ten in height, dirty blonde hair, well built, and cute. Lizzie knew when she was being watched. Lizzie looked too him for a moment to smile before taking her drink. She took a quick sip, she was going to look over again, but he made his way toward her.

"So I've never seen you in here before, new in town?"

"Um… kind of, sort of, not really. I'm just visiting a friend, and decided to go out for a drink, or just to have some fun!"

Lizzie really did want to go out and fun, but she just needed to think; Think away from Jonathan.

"Well you came to the right place, great place, plus I've been told I'm a pretty fun guy."

Lizzie put on a fake smile, and took a bigger sip of her drink.

"That is the most sucky pick-up line I've ever heard."

And before she knew it, the cute guy extended his arm for a greeting.

"Seth Aldrin."

"Lizzie Spaulding."

Lizzie and Seth shook hands, and then Seth just kind of paused like he was staring into his own world.

"Great, he heard the name 'Spaulding', like that is going to do me any good out here, knew I should not have come here."

"Everything ok?"

"Oh yeah, never really heard of anyone with the last name 'Spaulding', odd name; no offense."

"Oh. Trust me it does not offend me, but you can offend my grandfather all you like, the patriarch of the Spaulding family."

Seth looked a Lizzie a bit weird but then blew it off.

"Can I get a refill?" Seth asked the bartender.

"Yeah, same here."

Lizzie downed the last of her martini, maybe it would not be a bad night after all.

"So, where are we going exactly?" Seth and Lizzie where walking, Lizzie stood close to Seth as he held her close.

"Back to my place, but only if that is ok with you?"

Seth and Lizzie stopped walking, Lizzie looked up too him, but Seth could tell by the look on her face that her answer would be a "no". Lizzie could tell by the look on his face that he was disappointed, but she was not about to go home with someone she had only knew for like two hours, especially when she has a boyfriend waiting for her to come home.

"Look Seth I had a great time tonight, but I don't know, I just--"

"Lizzie what the hell is going on here?"

"Oh, hey Jonathan, you just called her Lizzie… wait you know Jonathan?"

"Yehhh, yeah, how do you know Jonathan?" Lizzie sputtered

"He is my neighbor."

Lizzie had only three martini's but she was not that out of it, she stepped away from Seth and looked at her surroundings, she was back at the apartments complex were Jonathan lived.

"How… I'm confused, what are doing with this guy Lizzie?" Jonathan asked a bit angered.

"Jonathan, wait a minute, I'm not just any guy. I have a name and f.y.i. we met at The Lounge at the Sunset Hotel…"

Jonathan sighed in relief. Even thought Seth was not familiar with Lizzie's family and its famous name, he knew Seth came from a rich corporate family just like Lizzie, and it would not have surprised him if Seth and Lizzie knew each other.

"I still want to know how you know Lizzie?"

Jonathan knew Seth was going to keep asking him questions, and Jonathan would not be so willing, but now that Seth had met Lizzie he would have to tell him sometime.

"She's Sarah's mom."

"Oh, ohhh, I'm just going to leave you guys, sorry Lizzie, sorry."

Seth quickly stalked off leaving Lizzie alone with an angry Jonathan.

"Jonathan…"

"Lizzie what the hell is your problem, I've been around town looking for you for the past two-and-a-half hours."

"I'm sorry; I just needed a little time by myself to think."

"Time by yourself Lizzie, don't you want to spend any of that time with Sarah?"

"Don't you ever question my intentions toward our daughter? I would drop everything in my life to have more time with her, to even have the time that was lost!"

"Would you drop Bill?"

Lizzie did not even hesitate to answer

"NO! OBVIOUSLY you did not here me before, he loves me!"

"You said you would drop everything, Bill has to be included, he's not worth it Lizzie!"

"There you go being jealous AGAIN Jona…than! Why won't you just admit, admit that you care about me." Tears began to stream through Lizzie's eyes.

"I thought a long time ago that I cared for you, YOU'RE THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD! But after everything you've done, I can never care for you."

"I'm not going to my pay for my mistakes for the rest of my life; my life is so good right now. I'm a better person, who is not trying to hold grudge. All's I want is to make things better with you, and take whatever time I can get with Sarah."

Jonathan did not know what to say; maybe he was holding a grudge.

"Liz—"

"Good-bye Jonathan, please hug Sarah for me." Lizzie sped past Jonathan running to her car, she was halfway inside when he finally spoke.

"Lizzie, where are you going, I thought YOU WANTED MORE TIME WITH SARAH!"

"Just because you say that, it's not going to make a difference, you'll let me see her, but once I'm gone you'll just run again, and I don't know if I can handle that."

"Lizzie sweetie, wait please!" Reva yelled

Reva had been standing on the balcony of Jonathan's apartment listening to the exchange between her son and Lizzie, and right now she would do anything to help Jonathan and Lizzie reconcile.

"I'll see you back in Springfield Reva."

Lizzie slammed her car door shut, the engine roared to life and she sped away.

"Jonathan, why did you let her go?"

Lizzie drove down the dark road with a death grip on the steering wheel, more tears streamed down her face. She did not want to live in the past anymore, but Jonathan always seemed to make things hard for her. His jealousy over her relationship with Bill. Lizzie cried even harder, she had flirted and had drinks with a complete stranger, almost went home with him, she could put it out all she wanted but it was like one step away from cheating. Though Lizzie had to reason though, for Bill was not all that faithful at times when Ava was in the picture, but it still hurt. Lizzie cried harder. She looked into her mirror, her eyes red and teary, with running mascara. One thing was still the same about her, she hated looking bad. Lizzie arched her head down, taking one hand off the wheel to wipe her tears away, but when she looked back up her eyes were blinded by a bright light. Then without much thinking time she was hit, a feeling like a jolt of thunder and lightning before her whole world went black.
