“Mom, it was just a party.” Gia said to her furious mother.

There was a knock at the door and Juan opened it to find Sonny, he let him in and closed the door.

“Sonny, it’s so good to see you.” Flo said walking up to him, they kissed and Sonny walked over to Gia.

“Where were you last night baby girl? Sonny whispered in her ear when he went to kiss her. Gia’s heart pounded as she thought about what to say. Luckily Flo interrupted them so she didn’t have to answer, for now.

“Gia, you are not going to get out of this now tell me what possessed you to go to Wyndemere!” Flo said firmly.

“I told you it was a party.” Gia said.

“Who’s?” Flo asked.

“Nikolas Cassadine’s.” Gia mumbled looking down.

“Gia!! Are you alright, did he hurt you?” Flo asked.

“No, mom!” Gia said.

“Oh Gia, you have no idea how what kind of danger you could have been in. Hunny you must stay away for those people, all of them. Do you hear me?” Flo said.

“Yes mom.” Gia said, inwardly crying.

“Now I know I just got back but I need to go check in at work. Come here baby.” Flo said, extending her arms out for her to walk into and they hugged.

“I worry about you baby. I just want to keep you safe. Flo said as she pulled way.

“I know mom but I’m a big girl and I can take care of my self.” Gia said. She glanced over at Sonny who was shaking his head no. When Flo left, Gia started to head upstairs but Sonny stopped her.

“Gia where were you last night? And don’t say with Courtney because I know weren’t there.” Sonny said.

Gia studied his face before questioning him. “You had me watched didn’t you?” Gia demanded. Sonny didn’t have to say anything and Gia knew she was right.

“Sonny, I told you I’m an adult and I don’t need your men watching me.” Gia said.

“You’re avoiding the question Gia.” Sonny said looking her in the eyes.

“Johnny said she saw Courtney with that Lucky kid (disgusted tone) last night and he didn’t see you with them. Now where were you?” Sonny asked.

“Go to hell Sonny, I don’t have to answer your damn questions!” Gia yelled. Her bravery quickly faded at the look she saw on her cousin’s face.

“I’m sorry.” She said looking down.

“I just get tiered of having to tell everyone everything about my life. I love all of you but I’m humane and I need to keep some things to myself.” Gia said strongly.

“I’m sorry Gia, your right baby girl.” Sonny said.

“Thanks Sonny, I’m going to go change and then I’m going for a jog.” Gia said. Sonny nodded and they hugged before Gia jogged up the stairs.

“Find out where she was last night.” Sonny said, looking at Juan who nodded and left.
