Chapter 3
"Where in the hell is Carly," Sonny was asking himself for the fifth time in ten minutes. Sonny was worried, Carly was not home yet and it was 12am. He had got to the penthouse by 7, and there was no Carly. So he figured he would surprise her with a home cooked meal. Pasta would have to do on short notice. He had everything set out nicely on the table at 8pm. Still no Carly.
He knew Bobby had watched Michael earlier in the day, maybe Carly told Bobby where she was going when she went to pick up Michael.
"Hey Bobby, did Carly tell you what she was up to when she picked up Michael today" he asked in a not so worried voice.
"Actually Sonny she hasn't been to pick up Michael yet, and I have a shift that start's at 10pm, do you think you can come get Michael" Bobbie asked.
"I'll send Latishia over right away. But I'm getting concerned now, what is Carly up to?" He hated when he asked questions like that, because it seemed so untrusting, but unfortunately with Carly you had to. 20 out of 24 hours a day she was probably up to something. He wished he could fully trust her, but all he could do was try.
"Oh, Sonny its only 9 o'clock she probably, ran some errands, or went to visit someone don't worry she'll be home soon. Tell her to call me when she get's in, I've got to go know. Don't worry Sonny. Bye."
Sonny was left with his thought's, he gave Latishia a call and let her know she needed to pick up Michael as soon as possible from Bobbie's and bring him to the penthouse.
He sat on the couch and didn't move. Latishia arrived an hour later. She put Michael to bed and went to bed herself. Still no Carly. He was truly worried now. "Maybe Jason knows what's going on" he thought as he walked across the hall. He knocked on the door several times, but there was no answer. "Damn" he thought to himself. He decided to call Jason's cell phone. There was no answer there either. Now that was unusual, Jason always answered his cell phone, just in case Sonny needed him, he kept it in Jacket at all times. What the hell was going on?
The food was still left out from the dinner that know one ate, so he decided to start cleaning up, when the phone rang. He ran to the phone. "Carly" he said.
"Sonny it's Bobby, you need to get down to the hospital right away. Carly's been in a- in a a accident, she almost drowned, she is unconscious right now. I'm sorry I can't stop crying, please hurry."
Sonny didn't say anything he just hung up the phone, got Johnny, and rode the elevator to the basement and to his car.
The car ride to the hospital was silent. Not that Sonny and Johnny ever talked much anyway. But this was a different kind of silence, an eery silence.
All of a sudden out of nowhere Sonny started laughing, he laughed for what seemed to be along time. Johnny looked through the rear view mirror, and saw tears rolling down Sonny's face, he wasn't laughing he was crying. He wasn't just crying, but he was crying that emotional, soulful cry that people did when they finally realized that their husband of 40 years was really dead, or that their child is dying before them. Johnny had seen a lot of death, but never this much emotion. He had never seen his boss, no wait his mentor, like this. It hurt him deeply. He had to get to the hospital soon. Johnny could understand where Sonny was coming from. He had lost 2 wives, and had already lost Carly once. Damn how much more was God going to dish out to this man.
Jason was watching the activity, but was thinking about Carly. "How the hell did this happen? How did she end up in the water? Did she fall or did someone push her?" he thought to him self. "I just want her to wake up so I can fix this for her, like I always do" he thought. Just then Sonny and Johnny came around the corner.
Sonny immediately went to the nurses station. "Where's my wife, where's Carly?" he asked Amy who was the only nurse there.
"She's in room 342 but you can't go in there, she is unconscious and the doctor's running test on her now. Why don't you have a seat and I'll have Tony come talk to ." Before she could finish her sentence Sonny was heading towards the room.
He opened the door, and saw Carly laying there, limp and pale. Her hair was still damp. She had an oxygen mask on, and a heavy white blanket was placed all the way up to her neck. Tony was standing next to her checking her pulse.
"Tony, how is she doing? What's going on? Is she going to make it?" Sonny asked with pain visible in his voice.
She's going to be fine. She should be waking up shortly. Why don't you sit and hold her hand. Talk to her, it might help." With that, Tony walked out the door.
Sonny walked over to the bed. He stared at Carly for what seemed like forever, before he finally pulled a chair up to the bed and took Carly's hand.
"Dammit Carly wake up. Don't do this to me, I need you in my life. We have worked so hard to get to this point. Don't leave me now. Don't do what I have done in the past. Just as things are starting to get good, you walk out. Don't, please don't. I love you, don't you get it. I have always loved you, Alexis never meant anything to me. You and Michael are my family." He said all this with the torture of a man that's seen to many people in his life die. He stopped talking then. For the next 10 minutes he tried to will her to wake up. He closed his eyes and used all the force he could to wake the woman he loved to wake up.
"Ummgh, where am I" it was Carly. She had awaken. "What happened to me" she said as she focused her head, and shook out the dizziness. "Sonny" she said with disgust. "What the hell are you doing here, where is Jason? What kind of game are you playing? What did you do to me."
"Carly, baby, what's wrong are you in pain? It's okay calm down. You almost drowned. I haven't got any of the details yet. I don't know what's going on myself. Don't worry Michael's at the penthouse with Latishia, he doesn't even know about this." He said. He was starting to feel better. "I better get the Dr. for you" he said as he walked to the door. "Someone get Dr. Jones she woke up."
"Oh thank God" Bobby said to herself.
Sonny went back to his chair, he tried to hold Carly's hand again. "Don't touch me, I don't remember any accident. Where is Jason, he'll fix this. Just leave get the hell out of here, I don't want you back in here. Or I'll have the nurses call security?" She pratically yelled.
"Carly I'm your husband, I'll take care."
"What. What the hell are you talking about? What kind of sick game are you playing Coronthios? JASON. JASON.!!!" She started yelling.
"I wouldn't marry you, if you were the last man in the world. Get out of my face." Carly was so loud, everyone outside of the room could hear. Jason got up and ran to the room.
"Carly, thank god you're allright. I was scared. How are you?" Jason said with relief in his voice.
"I'm fine Jason. Why is Sonny in here, please get him out of here. Is he the reason I'm in this bed, I can't remember anything.
