After coming back she sat looking around her room. She hated it here every day. She had become the worse version of herself she needed to get her revenge. Thinking to herself and she would get once and for all just then she swiped everything off the desk. With a scream before hurling the lamp at the wall breaking it before then taking her anger out on the closet doors.

Screaming to herself as she continued kicking it when someone grabbed her from "stop it alright this is the only way" he said as she kicked and screamed. As she pulled away "GET OFF ME ONLY WAY FOR WHO HUH NOT ME THIS HAS BECOME MY PRISON. YOU CAN'T KEEP ME HERE I WANT TO GO HOME AND I WILL GET OUT OF HERE AND I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET IT" she shouted.

All the while two other men cleaned up the mess "I'll fix this but you need to reign her in" one says pointing at another stepped out "Hey boss we have a problem that needs your attention" the man says hanging up.

She was becoming more uncontrollable as the months went by and she almost made it out next time they wouldn't be able to stop her then they would have a bigger problem on their hands.

Port Charles

Mid July 2018

Roman rode on his skateboard ahead of Starr as she walked behind him smoking as he rolled by Stella as she stared up at him in shock. "Heyy, Hey, Hey you stop!" She shouted but he continued going, not being able to hear her,"Aunt Stella what happened?"TJ asked as he and Molly made their way to her. "Starr, what did your brother do?" Molly asked her as she stopped coughing, putting out her joint"huhh he didn't do anything" she answered.

Just as Jordan made her way over"hey baby thanks for inviting me what is that smell" she said looking around with her eyes landing on Starr who shrugged . Then started to walk away "TJ baby it wasn't anything I just looked up and saw him and he looked so much like your Uncle Curtis.

It just kind of shocked me is all" the woman spoke while Jordan looked around for the scent of marijuana "hey you are you smoking over here" she says calling Starr. Who just rolled her eyes"Sea lo que sea la señora que me deje en paz maldita cuero do you see me smoking no you don't it probably someone in the vicinity of us.

But you want to single me out why you know Sabes lo que no me importa Titi Molly I'll see you later" she says walking away all the while Molly knew. It was her smoking but she wasn't gonna air out family laundry for anyone. Jordan looked around "Molly you know her" she asked but before she could answer Roman slid over"Estrella Y K lo k"he asked stopping in front of his sister.

All Stella, TJ and Jordan could do was stare at him"everything is good manito vamonos" she says starting to walk away. When Jordan stopped her making Estrella pull away "Just wait a second you look very familiar do you know a Curtis Ashford" Stella asked, both Starr and Roman just looked indifferent "no all we know is he's Maddy's godfather now we're going"Starr says annoyed.

That's when Molly saw it making her mouth drop as they walked away"oh my gosh Roman looks just like your uncle Curtis I mean that's impossible right"Molly said looking at her fiancé.

Who was just as stunned as everyone else Joss sat at the bench when Les sat down next to her"what's up Joss, little ones" he said. "Les what are you doing here" she asked, "well I just left the hospital and went for a walk supposed to meet Maddy,Kid Roman and Estrella here but stopped when I saw you.

Just wanted to say what's up" he said putting his arm down behind her, "yeah well I'm working so how's everything at the hospital" she asked after handing out the juices. Shrugging his shoulders "fine it keeps me going you know I know my mom would be proud so it gets me out of bed and I don't have to go to Uncle Jay's office" he responds making a face.

That made her laugh "it's not that bad" Joss says shoving him lightly as he grinned" yes, yes Josslyn it was me and Starr was bored we are not sitting still kind of people" he answered laughing. When she turned her head and looked up at him"but seriously Les how are you really I know next month makes a year that your mom is gone how do you really feel about that" she asked.

Pulling his hair up and wiping his face "what you want me to say Joss I don't know how to feel about it this was my mom , my heart she meant everything to me and she's gone and we can't get her back. So what's to say you know" Elesandro said putting his arm behind her "Les I knew your mom I mourned her loss too" she says trying to get through to him.

He shook his head "I know you did Joss but at the end of the day you get to go home to yours. And you don't wake up every day with an ache in your heart wishing she was here wishing you could hear her laugh or her inappropriate jokes on how I got here. Nothing, it's just silence.

I wish for those days I crave it ,you and I'm not gonna get it so it makes no sense to talk about it. I'm gonna jet" he says getting up. When she grabs his hand"Les wait" she says suddenly someone went to shove him"Why don't you back off my girlfriend"Oscar said as Les shoved him back using one hand.

"Get out my face bitch" Elesandro says when Joss stepped pulling Oscar back"Oscar stop we we're just talking" Josslyn says trying to break it up. "Every time I turn around your in her face why don't you back off" he spat, " whatever little man Joss I'll see you around"Les says as Starr,Roman and Maddy met up with him.

"Dimelo manini y lo k"his sister asked looking around, "Estrella it all good the little bitch don't like that I'm friends with Josslyn. Even though I've known her longer but whatever let's go Titi wants us home let's go get the car" he said as they left.

Making Josslyn turn to Oscar "what the hell was that about"she said angrily shaking his head. "Are you kidding me I don't have the right to be upset that he was hitting on my girlfriend. And you let him Joss" Oscar said upset making her head jerk"you can't be serious he was hitting on me.

Oscar we we're talking about his dead mother and how was dealing with it nothing else. There was no segue into trust I of all people would know if he was flirting with me. Because Les is blunt he does what he wants and says what he wants.

And I know him Oscar" Joss she shouted that's when Oscar shook his head again "he's using his dead mother to get you. And you don't even see it"he says, as Joss groans in frustration " I asked about his mother, I asked how he was feeling about it.

Because if it was up to Les he would rather not talk about it but me I insisted. I knew his mother alright so didn't bring it up Oscar now if you excuse me I'm gonna go. Right now because your being ass" she says storming off.

Cameron shook his head "your making him look good why don't you just tell her you know instead of doing this" he said. "No I shouldn't have to she should just tell me Cam but she's not" Oscar said irritated.

Sam's house

It had been over a month since she's called and ended up on Mona's doorstep only to find Bishop. Who informed her that Ramona was out of the country for work and he was going to help her. And that she would call her as soon as she could. Curtis had not met the kids yet because ironically enough they had some place to be when he came and being with her dad boring them with business stuff.

But it pushed Les to get an internship at General hospital while Starr and Roman decided to teach engineering and Robotics at Lila's kids camp. And thanks to a short little spitfire kind of got Roman a little calm which gave him reason to use his head.

They recently celebrated their first birthday without Elena and it was hard to say the least when they turned 16. Of course she invited Curtis but he was in Baltimore trying to track down leads but she knew he wouldn't find any especially if Mona was involved. She asked KK about it but he played none the wiser but she better he definitely helped in some way she knew it ,it was to clean

But she needed answers Ramona insisted she move here now she knew she had to know that he was here and she knew there was more to it than that. With everyone playing nine the wiser and it was pissing her off when she summoned her father and godfather she knew they knew.

"Hey sweetheart what's up"Julian said kissing her on the cheek, "where's Manolo wasn't he with you"Sam asked as she looked behind him. Putting his hands in his pocket "yea well something came up because he shot out of here like a bat out of hell but he did tell me. To let you know that he will be back but whatever it was had him worked up because he had that look in his eye" he says.

"What look dad, is something going on?" she asked. "You know that look he gets when things are about to get interesting. He didn't say so but it was the same look he had when you girls snuck off to Cuba while we were on vacation that time.

Then we had to come after you guys because you girls kinda got yourselves into some trouble" he said with a grin. It made her smile thinking of all the times they spent together "when did it become this dad us keeping secrets from each other"Sam says.

"Would you have agreed Sam think about it Elena wouldn't go this far for no reason and you know how she gets. When people rush and push she gets agitated you normally have to wait until she's ready to talk. And when things hurt her deeply she buries it and never speaks of it again she was a single mother of four kids i mean three kids"he said cursing himself.

Making her head swing is way "Elle had three kids you said four"she said, "yea i know i corrected myself Sweetheart I just meant that a while back. I heard her telling her mom that she wanted another child and I guess she was in the process I don't know" Julian says trying to cover.

"That I remember something like that but then there was a problem because the girl's father refused or something like that" Sam says. Relieved that she knew" anyway he said he will be back where's the brood" he asked, trying to change the subject. "Well they are upstairs DJ is playing video games and Andy is taking a nap and the bigger kids are out.

Their behaving is what I hope just doing regular teen stuff you know" she says. Just then there was another knock on the door stopping then going to answer "Curtis hey I know you've been busy but I have some leads on what you're forgetting" she says. Shaking his head "What what is it what did you find" he says inquisitively" he said coming in.

As Sam watched her father's face expressions"Do you know this woman her name is Elena Tavares I believe she was your wife and that your the father of my god kids" Sam says. "Titi we're home and we didn't get arrested" Les says with a grin, "Well to be fair not completely anyway manito" Roman says winking at Starr.

"Ayyy Por favor she didn't see it so she can speculate if she wants" Starr says as Maddy shook her head. That's when Curtis looked at the teens when his eyes landed on Roman who had his hair up in a bun.

Before he turns to Sam in completely disbelief "Howwww... I don't understand" he says as Les and Roman looked at him and each other. All the while Starr stood unfazed that's when Sam noticed her expression"you knew didn't you"she asked as her brothers looked at her.

Cassadine Industries

His uncles came into his offices "Nikolas we need to handle Helena and fast" Valentin says handing him a file. As he opened it all the color draining from his face "Is…...Is this real" he stammered out. Stefan shook his head "Yes it is she knows Nikolas" he replies running his hands over his face solemnly.

Getting up from his desk looking out of the window "I was just trying to protect them. This was the only way but maybe she was right and I wasn't" he said just then his phone rang. Picking it up he cursing under his breath "Yes Demetrius shit what happened I will take care of it I know" he said slamming the phone down.

They both watched him "What was that about" Stefan questioned, he sighed "that was things getting ready to blow up" Nikolas replies.

"Don't you think it's time to let everyone know because the cat is out of the bag already. Maybe its time we pull our collective power and we can finally put her down where she belongs" Valentin says. Turning to them "If we do that it makes matters worse not right now once this is handled.

Then I will talk to Emily and Sam but only when this is over" he answered unbeknownst to him Emily was listening. Paige looked up at her "Aren't we gonna go see daddy" the girl asked as she pushed opening the door. Catching all the men off guard Nikolas the most and by the look on her face she heard him.

Kneeling down "Well Hello there Paige how are you why don't you come with me and Valentin and give your mama and Papa time to talk" Stefan says. Taking her hand and leading her out the room Valentin patted Nikolas on the back. Then leaving as they looked at each other "What are you keeping from us I thought we were above the secrets"Emily said.

As he sighs"Emily it's nothing like that I don't even know how to tell you this. And it wasn't that I didn't trust you it's just that I needed to protect those involved. It happened before we got back together and i didn't want to ruin things.

Because I couldn't lose you again I can't lose you but things are about to happen. That you may not like but know that it wasn't about you it was about Helena"he said giving her more pause.

I know, I know I said in three but i cant so one more the finally is next
