"...and you're
going to be ok. Because I love you."
Gia: {Pulls out of their embrace} Nikolas, you
can't fix this.
Nikolas: I want you to tell me everything, ok?
Gia: I really messed up this time.
Nikolas: I want you to tell me everything, ok?
Gia: I really messed up this time.
Nikolas: Well, you let met decide that. You know,
sometimes these things -- they're not as bad as they really seem. All right? So
tell me.
Gia: I -- I didn't remember what happened at first. And then it all came back to me when Marcus was questioning that girl Courtney, the other driver --
Nikolas: Yeah.
Gia: I was driving. Elizabeth and I were arguing about her sister and some song on the radio station--
Nikolas: Shh. Just keep your voice down, ok?
Gia: I -- I didn't remember what happened at first. And then it all came back to me when Marcus was questioning that girl Courtney, the other driver --
Nikolas: Yeah.
Gia: I was driving. Elizabeth and I were arguing about her sister and some song on the radio station--
Nikolas: Shh. Just keep your voice down, ok?
Gia: I took my eyes off the road. I was looking at
Elizabeth or something. And then she screamed, and by that time, I was already
in the middle of the intersection. And the last thing I remember were the bright
headlights coming at us. And then when Marcus -- I heard Marcus say that he
wanted to check Courtney's blood to see if she had been drinking. I realized
that I had had the Irish coffee and the glass of champagne that you ordered.
Nikolas, I was so scared. I panicked and I lied.
Nikolas: Is that it? Gia, if there's anything else you can think of, you need to tell me now.
Gia: It was just the one glass of champagne and the Irish coffee. Elizabeth didn't say I was driving bad. I mean, she didn't say I was swerving or anything. I just didn't see the light.
Nikolas: Ok. Ok, come here. {Pulls her back into an embrace} It's going to be fine, all right?
Nikolas: Is that it? Gia, if there's anything else you can think of, you need to tell me now.
Gia: It was just the one glass of champagne and the Irish coffee. Elizabeth didn't say I was driving bad. I mean, she didn't say I was swerving or anything. I just didn't see the light.
Nikolas: Ok. Ok, come here. {Pulls her back into an embrace} It's going to be fine, all right?
Gia: No, it won't. {Sits back} Look, Elizabeth is
in bad shape. What if she doesn't make it?
Nikolas: Don't say that. I promise you she will. I promise.
Gia: But what if she's crippled for the rest of her life? Huh? You know, I never would have gotten in the car if I thought I couldn't --
Nikolas: Don't say that. I promise you she will. I promise.
Gia: But what if she's crippled for the rest of her life? Huh? You know, I never would have gotten in the car if I thought I couldn't --
Nikolas: Gia, you haven't done anything that all
of us haven't done.
Gia: I lied to the police. I mean, I can't change my story now. If I did, I'd be in big trouble. {Knock on the door}
Quinn: {Walks in} 'm Quinn. The police have ordered a blood alcohol test, ms. Campbell. I need to draw some blood. {Nikolas and Gia look at each other}

Quinn: {Walks in} 'm Quinn. The police have ordered a blood alcohol test, ms. Campbell. I need to draw some blood. {Nikolas and Gia look at each other}
~*~
Quinn: {Nikolas walks over to her} It looks like
it was your brother who ordered the test. It's standard procedure in an auto
accident. It'll just take a minute.
Nikolas: Gia's already had the test. Listen, I
realize that the fact that my family contributes to this hospital might have the
staff a bit anxious, but running duplicate tests on my fiancée doesn't quite
leave the impression on your supervisor that they might want, right?
Quinn: I'm sorry, I just -- I don't see a notation on someone drawing ms. Campbell's blood earlier.
Quinn: I'm sorry, I just -- I don't see a notation on someone drawing ms. Campbell's blood earlier.
Nikolas: Because it was done in the E.R. It was a
little hectic in there in the aftermath of the accident. There was a lot going
on. Now, listen, I'm not trying to blame anyone here, but one of our best
friends is fighting for her life, and Gia has suffered from the fact that she
was hit by a careless idiot who ran a red light. And I don't feel it appropriate
for her to suffer any more. So why don't you just check in the E.R.
Quinn: Yes, sir.
Nikolas: Thank you. {Quinn leaves}
Gia: Nikolas, I'm so scared. {Nikolas walks over to Gia}
Quinn: Yes, sir.
Nikolas: Thank you. {Quinn leaves}
Gia: Nikolas, I'm so scared. {Nikolas walks over to Gia}

Gia: Now I've got you lying for me.
Nikolas: You let me worry about that.
Nikolas: You let me worry about that.
Gia: Nikolas, I wasn't drunk. I felt fine when I
was driving. I wasn't swerving or anything. Elizabeth didn't say a word. I -- if
I take that blood test, it'll show that I had those two drinks and the media
will have a field day. Former face of deception, fiancée to a prince, drinking
and driving and whatever I've done to Elizabeth. Nikolas, I never wanted to do
anything to discredit your family, and I have.
Nikolas: {Chuckles} Well, you're obviously still in shock if you think that you could possibly discredit my family. Come on.
Gia: Nikolas, that nurse will realize that I haven't had the tests done, and she will come back. I told the police that I hadn't been drinking. I told them that sonny's sister was the one who ran the red light. I don't think Marcus can protect me from that.
Nikolas: Ok. But I can. All right?
Gia: Nikolas, I could go to jail. And if something happens to Elizabeth, can you fix that?
Nikolas: One thing at a time. You know, besides, the alcohol that was in your blood system will be gone by the time someone realizes the test was never done. And sonny and Alexis will take care of his sister. You know that.
Gia: And what about Elizabeth?
Gia: Nikolas, I could go to jail. And if something happens to Elizabeth, can you fix that?
Nikolas: One thing at a time. You know, besides, the alcohol that was in your blood system will be gone by the time someone realizes the test was never done. And sonny and Alexis will take care of his sister. You know that.
Gia: And what about Elizabeth?
Nikolas: She's in surgery, and she's going to make
it. We have to believe that. We do.
Gia: And what if she doesn't make it?
Nikolas: Were there -- were there any witnesses you remember?
Gia: I blacked out for a while, and when I woke up, Marcus was there.
Gia: And what if she doesn't make it?
Nikolas: Were there -- were there any witnesses you remember?
Gia: I blacked out for a while, and when I woke up, Marcus was there.
Nikolas: Ok. Come here. I will make sure everything's ok and you're going to be ok. Because I love you.
Nikolas: You believe that, right? Ok. So you didn't run that red light,
you weren't drinking. And Elizabeth -- she's going to be fine. She's going to
make it. Ok? {He kisses her} So you just rest. I'll take care of everything. {He
gets up and leaves reluctantly}

Gia: Mom.
Florence: Oh, honey. Oh, I was scared to death. {She hugs Gia}
Florence: Oh, honey. Oh, I was scared to death. {She hugs Gia}
Gia: Elizabeth is in surgery.
Florence: Elizabeth Webber? Well, what happened?
Gia: The light changed, and the car went through. And Nikolas -- he says that he won't let me get in trouble, but --
Florence: Nikolas. Well, where is your great prince now when you really need him? Honey.
Gia: The light changed, and the car went through. And Nikolas -- he says that he won't let me get in trouble, but --
Florence: Nikolas. Well, where is your great prince now when you really need him? Honey.

Nikolas is checking out the accident scene when a
woman approaches
Woman: Young man? Excuse me. Are they all right,
those girls that were hurt?
Nikolas: You saw what happened?
Woman: Oh, it was a terrible accident. I was about to cross the street with bow tie, and thank goodness I looked up in time. That pretty girl that's a model? She drove right through that red light.

Gia: Nikolas has been incredible, mom. I am so
blessed to have him in my life, on my side. Mom, please. I never want to hear
you say a negative thing about him ever again. You have no idea how much he
means to me, what he's done for me.

Nikolas: The fee we discussed. The address of your
condominium in palm beach. Just give the manager your name, and she will take
care of you. You will never have to worry about the snow again.
Mrs. Tilley: You have made my dreams come true. You are such a sweet man. {She gets up and leaves}
