Author Note: This is my first fan fiction (originally written in 2002; revised in 2004; edited 2005) I hope you enjoy it. This story starts back when Carly saw Sonny and Alexis in bed and drove her car off a cliff. I do know that on the show Carly has already come back and that a lot more has happened since 2002 when this storyline originally took place. This is my own take on this storyline and how things went from the accident until present and so on. There is a possibility that some of this could mirror what has gone on in the show, which is purely coincidental because this was originally written in 2002, but with my own twist. I also know that sadly Tamura Braun has left the show but she is who I picture in this story. So I hope you enjoy. Thank you. Short Summary - What if Carly was found and remembered everything about her life except the man she loved? Would they be able to find their way back to one another?
Chapter One: Hope Slowly Slips Away
It had been three weeks since Carly's accident. No body had been found, the police were ready to give up hope. All they found in the lake was the car and a bloodstained shoe. At the brownstone Detective Taggart is talking to Bobbie about ending the search for Carly.
Taggart: I'm so sorry Bobbie. It's been three weeks since her accident and still nothing. We can't afford to put all of our manpower into a hopeless search.
Bobbie: Hopeless? How can you say that or even think it? My daughter is alive and we'll find her. How can you just give up?
Taggart: We've found her car, a bloodstained shoe that Sonny identified as Carly's and today we found her purse with her wallet inside. I'm sorry but I believe that she drowned in the lake. You're a nurse you know it would be impossible to find a body in that water.
Bobbie: No...no...you're wrong, she's alive she has to be...
Taggart: I am truly sorry Bobbie...there is nothing else the PCPD can do.
(Bobbie looks stunned and begins to cry. Taggart puts a hand on her shoulder; Bobbie shakes it off and stands up.)
Bobbie (through tears): Carly's alive and I'm gonna find her with or without your help.
(Neither of them hear Sonny enter the room. He also can't believe that the PCPD is giving up.)
Sonny (to himself): She can't be dead. She's a fighter, she wouldn't give up. (To Taggart): Enough, stop badgering her.
Taggart: I was just leaving Corinthos. Good-bye Bobbie, I am sorry.
(Bobbie just nods, she stops crying because she knows her daughter is alive. She shows Taggart out then goes back in to talk to the one person she knows would never give up. She hoped.)
Bobbie: You're not here to tell me your stopping the search too, are you?
Sonny: I still have my men on the search. I….I still have hope that she'll come home. We know what a fighter she is. She won't give up.
Bobbie: Thank you so much Sonny. (Hugs him) Jax said he would put all he had into finding her.
Sonny: Nice of him to help so much. Is Michael still awake? With Carly missing I wanted to make sure he still had one parent to tuck him in.
Bobbie: uh…I think Leticia is putting him to bed now. He misses Carly so much, he needs you right now.
(Sonny smiles and starts to go upstairs then turns around.)
Sonny (seriously): Have you told him about the possibility that Carly may not be back?
Bobbie: He thinks his mother is on a trip. Let's keep it that way.
(Sonny heads upstairs to see Michael. He is just finishing getting his pjs on.)
Sonny: Hey Michael.
(Michael jumps up to give Sonny a big hug.)
Michael: Uncle Sonny!
Sonny: How are you little man?
Michael: Good. Is mommy with you?
Sonny: No I'm sorry Michael she's still on her trip you and grandma talked about. She'll be back soon.
Michael: Promise?
Sonny: I promise, now let's get you tucked in.
Michael: Ok. Can you read me a story?
Sonny: Sure.
(Michael picks out his favorite story and Sonny begins to read it to him. He falls asleep almost instantly and Sonny just watches him thinking about the promise he just made to his son. Meanwhile downstairs Bobbie is trying to deal with a relentless A.J.)
A.J.: I have a right to see my son. He needs me right now.
Bobbie: He's no more your son then mine. He's Carly and Sonny's. Right now he needs his father, not a stranger.
A.J.: Carly's dead and what he needs is his biological father.
(Bobbie slaps him in the face.)
Bobbie: Don't you ever say that again. She is coming home.
A.J.: You believe what you want. I'll stick to reality. Like I said Michael will need to be with his father.
Bobbie: He will be, Sonny is his father in everyway that counts.
A.J.: You know I will fight that and no court will give Michael to a mobster.
Bobbie: I don't think a court would give Michael to an arsonist either, plus you gave up your claim on Michael.
A.J.: You know I was forced into that.
Bobbie: No one can make you give up your own child.
A.J. (angry): You're such a great example of that aren't you, Bobbie, you gave up Carly and never looked back.
Bobbie (yelling): I thought about her everyday. The situations are totally different. Now get out of my house.
A.J.: I will get my son back you can bet on that.
(Sonny comes downstairs and hears the yelling. His eyes go red when he sees who it is.)
Sonny (thinking): What the hell is he doing here? Probably, trying to butter up Bobbie to get Michael. He'll take every chance he gets to get Michael back if Carly is gone. (To A.J.): I wouldn't bet on it A.J.
(A.J. whirled around.)
A.J.: I came here to see my son.
Sonny: He's not yours. You gave him up.
A.J. (angrily): You made me and everyone knows it.
Sonny: Why don't you get out of here before you wake up Michael.
A.J.: I will get Michael back you wait and see.
(A.J. walks out slamming the door behind him.)
Sonny: Don't worry about A.J. He will never get his hands on Michael.
Bobbie: I know. I better go check on him, make sure A.J. didn't wake him up.
Sonny: Yeah. I'll stop by tomorrow. Maybe take Michael to the park or something.
Bobbie: I'm sure he'll love that. Bye Sonny.
Sonny: Bye Bobbie.
(Sonny heads back to the penthouse to check on progress and try to get some sleep. About five minutes after he got home there was a knock on the door.)
Sonny: Come in.
Max: You sent for me, Sir.
Sonny: A.J. Quartermaine, he went after Michael tonight. I want you and Johnny watching the brownstone at all times. If he shows up again make sure he doesn't get inside.
Max: Yes, Sir.
(Max leaves and Sonny is once again alone. Ever since Carly's accident he hated being alone. He felt guilty. She had seen them, him and Alexis together, in his bed, no in his and Carly's bed... She had gone to Zander for revenge but he threw her out. She drove enraged and lost control of her car. Which crashed into the freezing lake. He played the events of that night in his head everyday. What she must have felt. He blamed himself, he had done this to her. He had betrayed her. Sonny had a scotch and went upstairs for what he knew would be another sleepless night. Just as he was about to lay down the phone rings.)
Sonny: Corinthos.
Benny: It's Benny.
Sonny: Did you find her?
Benny: Unfortunately not sir.
Sonny: Then why are you calling me?
Benny: I'm sorry for bothering you but I thought you should know that Sammy Tagliotti's men know your plight and are beginning to move shipments on Pier 10.
Sonny: More specific Benny, what are they moving?
Benny: Drugs. Cocaine and Heroine to be exact.
Sonny: Alright, set up a meeting in two weeks. I'll take care of it.
Benny: Are you sure?
Sonny: Then start looking for Jason. I'll need him here.
Benny: Ok, Sir.
Sonny: Was that all?
Benny: Yes.
Sonny: Call me when it's set up. Has there been any trace of Carly?
Benny: No. After the car was pulled out of the lake the trail went cold.
Sonny: Keep looking. Candy boy's men getting in the way?
Benny: No.
Sonny: Ok, i'll call in a few hours.
Benny: Bye.
(Sonny hangs up the phone and lies back down on his pillow. Once again he could not sleep. He got up and went downstairs. He stood on the balcony and looked to the full moon. He prayed to god that Carly was alive. He swore that night that if Carly came home he would spend the rest of his life making up that one night to her. Meanwhile in a cabin, about fifty miles from the lake, a woman is laying on a bed unconscious. She looked like she had been in a wreck. Her blonde hair was ragged and her clothes were torn. She had come in and out of consciousness for the last three weeks. She was weak and bruised. She came to again and looked around. She had no idea how long she had been there, how she had gotten there or why she was there. As she tried to get up her head began to spin and once again she was out. Outside of the cabin an odd looking man with a bushy beard and greasy black hair wearing torn jeans, a ragged coat, and boots walks by. He sticks his head in the window and sees the woman on the bed. Once he sees her his brown eyes glaze over and he smiles evily. He enters the cabin and approaches her with lust in his eyes. Through his eyes she was beautiful with no flaws. As he continued to approach her she came to again. She looked at the man and was immediately afraid.)
Woman: Who...Who are you?
Man: What's your name?
Woman: C...Carly...
Man: Carly...what a gorgeous name?
Carly: Who...Where...
(He puts a finger to her lips to quiet her.)
Man: Shhhh...no time to talk now my perfect angel.
(He leaned down to kiss her and she tried to back away. He got more forceful and Carly was so weak she couldn't fight it. He slowly got on top of her and began to remove what was left of her clothing. Carly tried to beg him to stop and push him away but she was too weak. All she could do was lay there and cry as this deranged man removed his own clothing while holding her down with, what felt like to her, inhuman force. She tried to disconnect herself and think of Michael. Her son, she loved him so much he was what was keeping her alive. As the man began to thrust himself in and out of her. Carly once again lost consciousness with tears in her eyes. When the man was finished he reclothed himself and then her. Then he left as if nothing happened. He closed the door and continued on his way. As he was walking through the woods he came across a snow covered ice road and as he walked he thought back to the angel he had just been with. He wanted to go back and as he turned around he slipped onto a large patch of ice and fell off the edge of the road into a ditch. As he fell he began to laugh. He had met his angel and was now free of the demons. He landed head first and was killed instantly. Now, once again, no one knew where Carly was.)
