Chapter 10

Penthouse 2

Jason was stunned that was the last thing he expected.

Jason: What?

Courtney: Sonny is my brother.

Jason: Why didn't he tell me?

Courtney: The last time I saw Sonny in L.A. I told him I never wanted anything to do with him or his business. I hated him. I acted like I didn't have a brother and I told him to act like he never had a sister.

Jason: What made you hate him so much?

Courtney: Lorenzo.

Jason: It always goes back to him doesn't it?

Courtney: Yes, most of my past does.

Jason: What did Alcazar do?

Courtney: Sonny took me away he basically kidnapped me. He wanted me to see who Alcazar really was. So he took me to a warehouse on the edge of town. He had put tape of my mouth and we were in a dark corner. I could barely see. Then I saw people moving and heard voices. One of the voices was Lorenzo. He was yelling at someone about betrayal I couldn't really understand what he was saying but all the sudden I heard two gunshots.

Courtney stopped she wasn't sure she could do this. She knew Jason deserved to know. It was just so painful to remember.

Jason could tell this was painful for her to relive but he needed to know everything about hers and Alcazars past if he wanted to protect her from him.

Jason: What happened after the gunshots?

Courtney: I punched Sonny in the face, took the tape of my mouth and ran to him. I had to make sure he wasn't hurt. When I ran out he was shocked to see me.

Flashback

Courtney: Lorenzo! Are you ok?

Alcazar: Court? What are you doing here?

Courtney looked him over to see if she could tell if he was hit. She didn't see any blood and took that as a good sign.

Courtney: Sonny brought me. He wanted me to see the real you.

Alcazar: Courtney you shouldn't be here. You need to leave.

Courtney: Why? I don't understand.

Alcazar: This is part of my life that you can't be involved in. You need to forget what you say and if anyone asks you act like you were with me all night. No matter what.

Courtney: You shot him.

Alcazar: Yes, I did.

Courtney: Why? What did he do?

Alcazar: I can't tell you. You need to leave before anyone sees you.

Courtney: I don't want to leave without you.

Alcazar: Where is Sonny?

Sonny: I am right here.

Courtney: Please Lorenzo just come with me.

Alcazar: I need you to go home. Please Courtney, just do this for me.

Courtney: Fine, just call when you leave.

Courtney walked up to Lorenzo and grabbed his face. She brought his face down to hers and kissed him with as much passion as she could muster.

Courtney: I love you.

Alcazar: I'll talk to you later.

End Flashback

Courtney: I still don't know why he shot that guy or what happened after I left.

Jason: That explains part of it but why do are you still mad at Sonny?

Penthouse 4

Carly: I understand that you can't tell me parts of her past but why not yours?

Sonny: It is all related. Listen I have to go see someone I'll be back soon.

Carly: You're going to go see Alcazar, aren't you?

Sonny: Don't worry I'll be back later. I love you.

Carly: I love you too.

Lorenzo's Penthouse

Lorenzo was sitting at his desk looking at a picture. It was something he would keep forever whether she was with him or not. They had been through so much together. Good and bad things but they evened each other out. They were good for each other. He believed that and he would make her see it again. He was pulled out of his thoughts by the knocking at his front door. He got up and answered and was not at all surprised to see Sonny standing there.

Alcazar: Corinthos.

Sonny: Alcazar.

Alcazar: Come on in.

Sonny walked in and took in his surroundings. It was dark just like the man who owned it.

Alcazar: What are you doing here?

Sonny: You know exactly why I am here.

Alcazar: Courtney.

Sonny: You need to stay away from her. She has her life together now. She is actually happy.

Alcazar: She was happy with me.

Sonny: You twisted her brain and made her hate everyone she cared for.

Alcazar: I showed her the truth about everyone. Just like you tried to show her the truth about me.

Sonny: It would have worked too if you hadn't lied every time you saw her after that.

Alcazar: Do you not remember what happened that night?

Sonny: I remember it like it was yesterday.

Flashback

Courtney: I love you.

Alcazar: I'll talk to you later.

They waited until they were sure she had left before they started talking.

Sonny: I don't want you near my sister.

Alcazar: That isn't your choice.

Sonny: I don't want this life to touch her.

Alcazar: You seem to forget you are in this life. You being her brother puts her at risk.

Sonny: I will not do what you want and I will not have my sister be a part of it.

Alcazar: Putting drugs out is the only way to gain power. Don't you want power?

Sonny: Drugs is not the answer Lorenzo.

Alcazar: Actually it is the only answer.

Sonny: We can find another way.

Alcazar started pacing if he didn't convince Sonny soon they would come after him, Courtney, and Sonny. Everyone was in danger if this didn't happen, especially Courtney. Courtney was the reason he was doing this. There was only one way to do this. Alcazar turned around gun in hand and pointed it straight at Sonny's heart.

Sonny: What the hell are you doing?

Alcazar: Sonny we have to. There is no other way.

Sonny: Lorenzo put the gun down.

Alcazar: You don't understand I have to do this for Courtney.

Sonny: By killing her brother and your best friend.

Alcazar: If we don't do this they will kill her, then you, then me.

Sonny: Who?

Alcazar: Morales.

Sonny: Ok. We can deal with this just put the gun down.

Alcazar: I'm so sorry Sonny but I have to do this.

BANG

Sonny stood there shocked his best friend had just shot him.

End Flashback

Sonny: I will always remember the day my best friend betrayed me.

Alcazar: I did it to protect Courtney.

Sonny: That's bullshit and we both know it. You didn't do it to protect her. You did it to have control over her.

Alcazar: I loved her, I still do and I will do anything to be with her.

That pushed Sonny over the edge he would not let Alcazar break Courtney's heart again. Sonny walked up to him punched him square in the jaw. Alcazar stumbled backwards.

Sonny: You don't go anywhere near her.
