When We Wake Up
Chapter 21

Sonny and Carly boarded the jet and took their seats. Sonny looked over at Carly as the plane took off and notices she is nervously biting her nails.

"Nervous?"

"Extremely" Carly took her nails out of her mouth long enough to say that, the immediately replaced them.

"About what?" He asked, not exactly sure of what.

"Everything Sonny. This plane ride, going to Port Charles..." she mumbles with her fingers still in her mouth.

"You weren't afraid of the plane ride here"

"That's cause I was drunk Sonny. I have a clear head now and I'm afraid of the plane." she tells him. "What happens if we crash..or hit a bird...or an engine fails....or"

"Hey hey whoa...first off this plane is inspected daily and I doubt an engine will fail..."

"If it does we die for nothing, because we got on a stupid plane"

Sonny rolled his eyes and laughed. "I fly in this plane all the time and it has never crashed."

"There's a first time for everything. Speaking of this plane how can you afford a private jet?"

"I own a coffee import service."

"By yourself?"

"No, my partner Jason Morgan and I own it."

"Coffee can't be that good to be able to afford your own jet and throw money around money like you did these last couple days."

"Carly..." Sonny decided now was the best time to tell her. "Carly there's something I have to tell you"

She scooted closer waiting for him to continue.

"Carly I do other things besides run a coffee warehouse."

"Well I figured that" Carly rolled her eyes.

Sonny stood up "Your not going to like what I have to tell you"

"Oh god" Carly also stood up "I don't think I want to know"

Sonny put his hands on hers. "I have to tell you."

"I know, I'm just afraid."

"I know honey, but it'll be alright I promise." he smiled down at her and continued his story. "I really don't know exactly how to tell you or start this......"

"Just tell me." Carly said getting more nervous by the second.

"Carly I'm...I'm...part of the mob." Sonny looked waiting to see her reaction.

Carly stood stunned by his revelation. She couldn't believe he was part of what she was running from.

Sonny was about to say something else when her hand reached up and slapped him hard.

"How could you do this to me?" she cried. "I trusted you, I told you what happened to me and for what? For you to be working with them. We aren't going to Port Charles are we? Your taking me to them. Oh god, I'm dead for sure. All this time...."

Carly was so caught up in her fury that she didn't notice Sonny wasn't moving. He stood there retreating into himself. Carly looked up when she finally realized Sonny wasn't responding to her. She noticed Sonny's eyes were not the same as before. They were cold. Carly got scared she'd never seen him like this.

"Sonny?"

Sonny heard her voice but he wasn't listening, he went from cold to angry. He moved past her and hit the wall. He didn't feel the relieve he wanted so he started smashing the crystal of the bar.

"Sonny stop!" Carly cried out, but he wasn't listening. Carly grew more afraid and started thinking about what Mark had done. Mark had started out that way. Carly slowly backed away from him. Slowly retreating to the other side of the plane. When she reached the wall she slid down, she pulled her knees to her and cried, retreating into herself.
