Part 2

She stepped into the darkly lit bar and took in her surroundings. Everything looked the same but she knew things were different. Making her way to the bar she slid into the stool and let her dark hair fall in front of her face as the bar tender asked her what she wanted.

Muttering 'rye and coke' she pushed her hair out of her face when she didn't recognize the bar tenders voice. Coming back with the drink the man behind the bar took a close look at her before handing her the glass.

"You from around here?" He asked her and she looked up. Looking him in the eye she figured not only was he new to the bar staff he must also be new to Port Charles. Anyone who's lived in Port Charles knew that if you wanna stay alive you keep your mouth closed and out of other people's business.

"You could say that." She answered him before turning from him. Bringing the glass to her lips she smelled the aroma of the drink first then took a slow zip of it. Closing her eyes as the liquid trickled down her throat and she smiled. She needed this. Suddenly the doors opened and she heard voice's that brought back memories. Her heart stopped and she knew if she got cote it would be her fault for coming to THIS club. Quickly she slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a ten dollar bill, knowing it was too much money for what she had ordered she placed it on the table anyway, and before slipped back outside unnoticed, she placed her drink on top of it.

Sonny paced the room, his cell phone wrapped tightly in his left hand.

"Come in." he roared to whoever had knocked and when Johnny popped his head in Sonny clamed down.

"Well?" He asked one of his closed men.

"We can't find her, there's nothing Sonny, it's like Alexis Davies never existed." Johnny told him, knowing that wasn't want Sonny wanted to hear. Before Sonny could yell out 'look harder' Johnny spoke again.

"So, that's why myself and Max are going to look harder."

"Thank you Johnny." Sonny said, knowing that Johnny and Max would try there hardest to find Alexis.

"Maybe you should do what she asked and don't try to find her?" Jason told him from the corner. Sonny stopped pacing to look at his first in command.

"I can't do that and you know that Jason." Sonny said.

"Try Sonny, she doesn't wanna be found." Jason told him, getting up from his spot.

"What if it was Robin, would you stop looking?" Sonny asked and it was then that Jason understood how deep Sonny's feeling for his missing lawyer went.

"Never, but a least give her some time." Jason told his best friend as he thought about his first real love and how a part of him would always love her.

Suddenly Sonny turned and he looked at Carly who was sitting on the couch.

"Jason would you mind living for a moment, I need to speak to Carly." Sonny asked him, his dark eyes never leaving his ex-wife.

"Sure, I'll be right outside." Jason told him before making his was to the door and leaving.

Making sure the door was closed Sonny made his way over to the couch and sat down. Then turning to Carly he started.

"Carly, we need to talk."

Jason stood outside the door knowing that inside Sonny was FINALLY letting Carly go.

"Funny how things start and end." He said quietly to himself as he remembered the beginning and end of his friend's relationship. How they had sleep together when he was with Carly all the way up until this moment. The sound of glass braking pulling him out of then and into now and he turned towards his old apartment. Going over he pressed his ear to the door and again he was meet with the sound of glass. Worrying about the red head in there he slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out an old rusty key. Slipping it into the lock he turned it slowly and smiled when he heard it click. Pushing the door opened he slid the key into his pocket before entering. The apartment was dark, only lit with candles and he could barley make out the petit figure of the woman inside the apartment. There was broken glass all around her and she sat in the middle of it against the wall crying. Moving closer he saw that her face was in her hands and that her hands were bleeding. Reaching her he bent down and carefully moved her hands from her face. She jumped at his touch and looked scared till she recognized him.

"How did you get in here?" She asked her voice shaky as she tried to get up.

"Don't move. I'll get a cloth for you're hands." He said and it was then that she felt the stinging of the wounds. Moving fast he entered the kitchen, wet a towel and was back by her side it two minutes. Picking her up so she wouldn't get cut anymore he placed her on her couch then dropped down beside her.

"Let me see your hands." He ordered gently and she listened partly out of fear and partly out of gratitude.

"What were you doing?" He asked her, looking up at her.

"I don't know." She answered him.

"These aren't that bad and not at all deep" he told her. "They shouldn't leave marks." He added as he finished up.

"Thank you." She said placing her hand on her lap, before gazing at the mess she'd made.

"I'll get that." Jason told her, following her gaze.

"How did you get in?" she finally asked him again.

"I have a key, I use to live here." He told her.

"I heard the glass and I wanted to know if you were ok." He added.

"Thanks." She said again and suddenly felt very tired.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. I JUST SURVIVED DEATH AND YOU'RE LEAVING ME. LEAVING ME FOR ALEXIS?!?!?!!?" Carly yelled at Sonny as she paced the apartment. He had just told her that he loved Alexis and she couldn't believe that all she had gone trough had failed.

"I'm sorry Carly but I don't feel like that anymore. I don't love you like I did." Sonny told the pissed off woman that had shared his bed for over a year now.

"What did she do to you? What the fuck do you see in her?" Carly asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes at the thought of losing him.

"I see everything in her. She means everything to me. I'll always love the time we had and you, in my own way, but I love Alexis now." Sonny tried to explain to her.

"What about Michael, now that Alexis 'is your everything' where does that leave own son?" Carly asked him, not only placing the Michael card but also using 'OUR son'.

"Michael will always be a big part of my life, I not going to stop being there for him." Sonny answered her.

"Well I don't want him to be raised with Alexis as a mother. So chose Sonny, Alexis or Michael." Carly told him.

"I will do whatever I want Carly so if you much as TRY to take Michael away from me I'll have him taken from you." Sonny told her, all the love and respect he had for her gone. With that Carly turned and left, slamming the door on the way out. Expecting to see Jason waiting outside she was surprised when she didn't. Wondering where he'd gone she started towards Alexis' when she heard voices. Walking closer she noticed the door opened and she looked in. Her eye widened when she saw Jason sitting on the couch with Kristina's head resting on him shoulder.

"I may have lost Sonny to one Cassadine but I won't lose Jason to another." With that whispered promise to herself she left the apartment.
