| CHAPTER 13
�Good Morning councilor.� Sonny practically sings as he comes through the front door of the lake house carrying a bag of groceries. She looked up from her laptop. �I can�t believe you convinced me to come back here after dinner.� �The choice was yours.� �Some choice.� She half heartedly smiled. �Your place or here.� �That�s not true.� He replied as he walked over and kissed the top of her head. �We could have stayed at the Metro Court.� She rolled her eyes. �I�m sure Carly would have loved that.� He gives her a strange look. �What?� She asks �Where�d you get the laptop from?� �It was in my car.� He puts the groceries on the desk and closes her laptop. �Hey I was working on that.� She yells �To bad.� He replies grabbing her hand and pulling her to her feet. �It�s breakfast time.� She pulls him back stopping him dead in his tracks. �You can�t seriously expect me to help you make breakfast.� �You still can�t cook?� He asked shocked. �How do you feed your kids?� �Viola cooks for them.� She simply replies. �And when she�s not around.� �Trust me, you don�t want to know.� She jokes. �Okay let�s go.� He replies pulling her towards the kitchen. �Saved by the bell.� She announces as the door bell rings. �You might not want to answer that.� Sonny states as she pulls out of his grip. She smiles back at him and opens the door. �You know you are a very hard person to track down!� Carly yells as she walks right past her. �Now are you going to help me with Trevor Lansing or not.� �Not.� Sonny yelled causing Carly to jump �What are you doing here?� Carly asked. �I don�t know what sick plan you have running through that pee brain of yours Carly, but you aren�t going to pull Alexis into it.� Sonny stated unconditionally Carly looked at the two of them. �Are you guys living here now?� �No we aren�t.� Alexis replied. �That�s yet to be determined.� Sonny shot back looking directly at Alexis. Carly put her hand over her face and threw it back. �I can�t believe this.� She yelled. �All our lives are in danger and the two of you are playing house.� She walks over to Sonny. �You need to stop this Sonny and get your head back into the game, before it�s too late!� She looks back at Alexis. �For everybody!� Alexis rolls her eyes as she walks past Carly and goes and sits on the couch. �Carly, Alexis isn�t going to be working with you on anything so why don�t you just leave.� Carly looks back over at Alexis. �Oh my god she�s gotten to you again hasn�t she.� She yells walking over to Sonny. �She�s gotten you back into her bed, hasn�t she? I thought you were smarter then that.� �My relationship with Alexis is none���� Sonny started to say when Alexis cut him off. �What it is any business of yours, if we are? We�re two consoling adults who don�t need permission to do anything.� Sonny couldn�t believe this was Alexis speaking. �Especially permission from a married woman who has no rights of her ex-husband what so ever.� �My kids give me rights.� Carly threw back in her face. �No they don�t Carly.� Alexis replied forcefully. �And I can�t believe you�d use your kids like that.� �Look who�s taking about using there kids Alexis.� Carly said getting in her face. �If it wasn�t for that bastard daughter of yours you would have been out of Sonny�s life years ago.� �Hey!� Sonny Yelled over top of everybody else. �Nothing gives you the right to talk about my daughter like that!� He walks over and opens the door. �You need to leave now!� Carly is taken back a bit by Sonny�s outrage. She picks up her purse that she laid on the desk and without saying a word exited out the open door. Alexis just stared at Sonny as he slammed the door behind her. �I don�t want you involved with anything she has in mind!� He continued to yell. �Do I make myself clear!� Alexis didn�t say a word as she picked up her laptop and walked off. Sonny smacked his forehead as he drew his hand down his face. �Alexis wait, I�m sorry.� He yelled after her. He walked over to the locked bedroom door. �Please let me in�..I�m sorry�..there�s just something about Carly that makes me crazy and I know I shouldn�t have taken it out on you.� He laid his head against the door. �Please don�t do this�.I�m sorry.� He heard the door unlock and he slowly opened it. Alexis was sitting on the edge of her bed. �I�m sorry�.I had no right to yell at you like that�and if you allow me I�d love to make it up to you.� Sonny replied standing in the doorframe. �I know you didn�t mean it.� She replied after a few moments. �I�m sorry I took it the way I did.� He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. �Alexis I knew something isn�t right with you but I just can�t figure it out.� He intertwined his fingers in hers. �I hope it�s not because of what�s happening between us.� She looks out the window. �I�m just worried about Nikolas. I didn�t tell you this earlier but Jax called me when you were out.� �Did something happen?� He asked concerned more for her then Nikolas. �He said he went over to Wyndermere to see him and they got into a huge fight.� She looks at Sonny. �He said out of nowhere Nikolas jumped him and if it wasn�t for the fact that Alfred walk in when he did and calmed Nikolas down��.� She took a deep breath. �He would have seriously hurt him.� She laid back onto the bed. �I don�t know how to help him.� He leans back on the bed onto his elbow. �I think you need to stop kidding yourself Alexis and get him some professional help.� �What if nobody can help him? What if this is all thanks to Jerry Jacks?� �What if it�s not Alexis, have you ever thought of that possibility?� �Emily told me they�ve already ran a battery of test and everything�s come back negative.� �Maybe it�s psychological?� �You think the pressures of being a Cassadine has just gotten to him, and he can�t take it anymore, so he�s losing his mind.� She somewhat laughed. �Well look at what�s it�s made you do in the past.� He jokingly replied. �That�s not funny.� She smiled back. �Besides I knew what I was doing the whole time. I just made other people think I was losing it.� �Do you think that�s what Nikolas is doing as well?� �I don�t know at this point Sonny. The only thing I do know is that whatever is going on, needs to be dealt with before he goes to far���� and kills somebody.� Sonny laid his head down next to hers. �Do you think he�s capable of murder?� �He�s a Cassadine, isn�t he?� |
