Hi Everyone! My name is Sophie and i am new to publishing stories! I have written tons, but never for anyone else to read! Sorry for such a short chapter, I just got started! Just a little clarification: Cassie is taking over Robin's character in the show. Robin is still in the story, but everything that has to do with her character on the show is now all on Cassie! The only thing I own is Cassie!

Chapter 1

There she stood, outside the Nurse's Ball, waiting to be announced. She was called to give a speech about being a doctor with HIV. It was weird being back in Port Charles, but she couldn't stay away. Port Charles was her home.

Everyone in town was at the Nurse's Ball. It was a once a year fundraiser for the AIDS foundation.

"And now, I am pleased to introduce our own miracle, Dr. Cassandra Scorpio" the hostess said.

She walked in after 6 years of being away. All she could do was take slow deep breaths. All eyes were on her as she took the stage.

Before starting her speech, she looked around the audience. She saw her Uncle Mac, police commissioner, her good friend Sonny Corinthos, crime lord and mob king, but the person who stood out the most was her true love, Jason Morgan. He was sitting at the same table as Sonny and had a lady with him. Cassie assumed she was his girlfriend.

"It's gratifying being introduced as a doctor, although that's not why I am here. I'm HIV positive. I watched my love slowly slip away, and soon found out what was killing him had been passed on to me." She paused to wipe her tears. Some of her friends did the same. "The hardest part wasn't the fear for himself, it was fear that he had for the people he left behind. Fear that he wouldn't be able to love me. Fear that he left me an outcast, like the monster Dr. Scorpio and show other people how to fight it. It's because of people like you that I can look out and have hope again. Stone didn't' live to see a cure, but God willing I might. Thank You!" She concluded.

People stood up clapping and cheering. "Lucy has asked me to perform something. I don't act or dance, so I thought I would sing for our loved ones that got away or were taken from us." She waited for people to sit down and get quiet. As the music started, I caught Jason's eye. He hasn't changed one bit. Jason works for Sonny as his # 1 hit man.

They fell in love when she was 17, so Cassie picked a song that meant something to her.

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
[ From: . ]
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you." She sang with tears in her eyes.

Everyone was clapping and cheering. Cassie took a bow and left. She stood in the lobby starring at Stone's quilt until the ball was over.

"Cassie" Mac called. She ran into his arms for a hug. She couldn't help it, she missed her uncle. She hasn't seen him in 6 years. "I missed you!" he squeezed her tighter.

Cassie pulled away first and wiped the tears from her eyes as Mac continued to question her.

"So, how are you? Are you in town for good?" he asked curious.

"I am good! Yeah, I am here for good. I got a job at General Hospital and before you ask, I already got an apartment," she informed him. Her uncle would want her to stay with him so he could watch over her.

"Cassie your back," all my old friends crowded me.

It was really nice to see everyone. Elizabeth Webber, she is a nurse at the hospital, the same with Epiphany Johnson and Nadine Crowell.
