Christmas Is All Around
A/N: This is a project that is being done for the 12 Days of Christmas Flash Fiction Challenge over on the Live Journal community ghffchallenge (Flash fic for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term are pieces written within an hour ) The basis is that 12 prompts will be given based on different Christmas carols and that in the end the parts must intertwine...This is where I got a bit of inspiration from one of my favorite Holiday films 'Love Actually' in which thought the film there were 10 stories of Love and in the end they intertwined on Christmas Eve...The chapters in this story can be read as 12 'stand alone' pieces or as one big story...this is AU and takes place in Port Charles he way I see it in my own messed up mind...I don't own GH but you know you'd love me to...
PROMPT 10:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Her Volunteer shift was over as she headed out of the warmth of the Hospital and into the cool air. Although the weatherman had said that this particular Saturday was the warmest day that winter as the sun began to set a chill fell over the town.
It was her day off from working at the small diner so instead after much consideration Georgie Jones decided to seek refuge from the cool air at the Corinthos Morgan coffee house. She thought that Dillon most likely wouldn't be there and perchance Logan Hayes would be.
As she walked along the familiar docks she bumped into a familiar figure accidentally spilling his hot chocolate.
"I-I'm so sorry," Georgie said looking up and locking eyes at a man she really didn't want to see at the moment, "Dillon hey."
"Hey yourself," Dillon said.
"I-I'm so so sorry for spilling your drink," Georgie said, "I was just on my way to the coffeehouse and…"
"Since when do you frequent Sonny's place," Dillon questioned.
Georgie paused a second. She wanted to tell him that it was the moment she felt the need to find an excuse to see Logan Hayes but she didn't want to kill the glimmer of hope that was in Dillon's eyes.
"Don't tell Mike," Georgie said, "but there coffee is the best in town."
"It'll be our little secret," Dillon said smiling as he turned to walk with her to the shop.

As they arrived Georgie looked through the glass at the patrons inside and the festive decorations that Milo had put up the day before but no sign of whom she hoped yet dreaded would be there.
As the former couple entered Dillon placed an order for another hot chocolate while Georgie got a cappuccino and they both took a seat.
After whet felt like an eternity of awkward silence Dillon turned to Georgie.
"About the other night," Dillon said.
Georgie knew he was referring to that kiss the other day at Kelly's. A kiss that after it had occurred the former lovers never called to talk about. A kiss that plagued Georgie's mind and heart.
"About that," Georgie said.
"I'm sorry," Dillon, said pausing, "no actually I'm not sorry…I want to say that we were under the mistletoe and that was the reason for the kiss but it wasn't…I still like you Georgie and I want another chance."
"Dillon," Georgie said, "you don't know how many times I wanted to here that you were over Lulu…that you wanted me back…I mean last Christmas for just a moment in time I thought this was it."
"But then I broke your heart by following Lulu," Dillon said, "I know and I'm sorry."
"A part of me wants to believe you," Georgie said, "still another part knows when the holiday is over and the New Year begins you'll be off again leaving me."
"I don't have to go back," Dillon said, "I can stay here, go back to PCU…be with you."
"No," Georgie said, "you can't."
Dillon looked at her brown eyes ready to spill over with tears.

Meanwhile outside Logan Hayes along with his sister Serena were talking about Christmas's past and about how they were glad to finally have a real Christmas together as a family when Serena spotted an all too familiar figure. She tried to use her older brother as a shield but it was too late. Johnny Zacchara had spotted her.
"What do you want," Logan asked the other man rolling his eyes.
"Serena what are you doing here," was all Johnny could say.
Logan looked at the mob prince then back at his kid sister.
"You know him," Logan asked.
"I met Johnny last Christmas when I was on a ski trip with my friends," Serena said turning to him, " my family is in Port Charles what about you."
"Extended family," Johnny lied.
"Lulu dumped me for him," Logan said.
"She didn't dump you for me," Johnny said, "we were never together she just wanted people to think we were…"
"So," Serena said, "your not seeing anyone."
Johnny shook his head as the blonde smiled.
"You are now," Serena said turning to her bother and taking Johnny's hand.
If there was one thing that Logan knew in the short time he knew Serena was to not argue with her.
"Fine," Logan said, "go with Johnny…but Zacchara if you hurt my sister then I'll hurt you."
Johnny nodded in understanding as he watched his sister and Johnny walk away.

"Don't," Dillon said handing Georgie a napkin, "please don't cry on me."
"I don't want to be the one thing to keep you from your dream," Georgie said, "as much as you know I love you and always will I can't…"
"There is more to the story isn't there," Dillon asked.
"I sort of have feelings for someone else," Georgie said, "two someone's actually."
Dillon gave her a shocked look. He couldn't tell if she was bluffing or not but knowing Georgie he figured she was serious.
"First there is Spinelli," Georgie said.
"Spinelli," Dillon repeated.
Georgie nodded.
"You and him are a lot alike," Georgie said, "your both sweet and romantic and quirky."
Dillon nodded.
"But he only sees me as his faithful friend and I accept that," Georgie said, "actually he's dating my good friend Nadine and you should see them together Dillon it's so sweet."
Dillon just nodded afraid to here who the other guy was.
"The second guy Dillon," Georgie said, "is…now don't kill me."
"Pinky promise," Dillon said holding out his right pinky causing Georgie to crack a smile.
"It's Logan Hayes," Georgie said as Logan silently crept into the shop and stood to listen.
Georgie whose back was turned to the door continued while Dillon kept his mouth closed about Logan's presence.
"I mean sure Logan is an arrogant jerk," Georgie said, "with no respect to woman whatsoever."
Logan made a face.
"But at the same time there is more to him," Georgie said, "I mean I want to be a writer so I know that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover…I think there is more to Logan."
Dillon nodded.
"So you choose Logan then," Dillon asked.
"I don't know," Georgie said, "as my dearest friend and favorite ex husband what would you suggest."
"Tell Logan how you feel," Dillon said motioning to Georgie that Logan was behind her, "I mean every great movie has a great beginning…maybe this day is yours and Logan's."
A/N2: so I decided to play with what I had and made it GLo and JohnnySerena…I don't know who I'll pair Dillon with now IF I ship him with someone…other then a possible Dillon shipping I don't plan to add more ships…
