Chapter 10
Carly opened the door to the home she would soon be moving out of. She pushed the stroller inside as Michael ran in behind her. He hurried into the kitchen to get something to drink. Carly pushed the stroller into the hall and unloaded Morgan. She pulled Morgan into her arms and carried him into the living room. She was surprised to see Bianca sitting in the living room with packing boxes, talking with Lucky.
"Hey," Carly said with a smile. "What's going on?"
"Your cousin Lucky is helping me pack up some of the living room," Bianca replied. Baby MiMo was in her baby swing so she wouldn't be in the way and wouldn't get hurt.
"I see that," Carly replied with a laugh as she put Morgan down in his play pen. "How did you two meet?"
"Well," Bianca started, "there was some jerk in the park who wouldn't leave me alone. Lucky was there and he made the guy go away." Carly looked at Lucky who was smiling at Bianca. She knew what Lucky was thinking. Michael came back into the living room.
"Mommy," he asked with a heavy sigh, "is it okay if I go start packing my toys?"
"Sure sweet heart. Remember to get the toys under your bed." Michael nodded and hurried up the stairs.
"Hey, I need to get some packing tape," Bianca said.
"It's in the utility room. The first drawer by the door," Carly replied. Bianca got up to go grab the tape.
"She's great," Lucky started.
"Before you go any further, cuz," Carly began, "Bianca is a lesbian." Lucky's eyes went wide.
"She's a what?!"
"She's a lesbian," Carly whispered. "She's gay." Lucky sighed heavily.
"God, I feel so stupid," Lucky replied, hanging his head. Carly put her arm around her cousin.
"Don't feel stupid," she whispered. "The right girl is going to come along eventually, okay? Trust me. I'm your favorite cousin." Lucky and Carly laughed together and Lucky hugged her.
"Hey, I better get going. I need to pick up Lu Lu and take her to the movies," Lucky replied.
"Alright. Tell her hi for me."
"I will," Lucky replied. He walked over and picked up Morgan. "Hey buddy. You be good for your mom." He put him back down and said goodbye to Miranda. Bianca came back out.
"Hey, you're leaving already?"
"Yeah. I have to pick up my little sister," Lucky replied, blushing a little with embarrassment.
"It was nice to meet you."
"Same here," Lucky said with a smile. He left and Bianca looked at Carly.
"You told him?"
"Yeah. He had a crush on you. I had to tell him," Carly replied with a grin. "He needed to know."
"I was going to tell him, but I felt bad that he had no idea."
"Well, he had to find out sooner or later," Carly replied. Bianca handed Carly the packing tape.
"So how long till we move out?"
"As soon as we get all of this crap packed up. I want to move as soon as possible and sever all connections with that son of a bitch," Carly replied, referring to Lorenzo. Bianca laughed a little.
"Well, as soon as we get out of here, you don't have to worry about him ever again."

Faith stared at Jason after he told her everything he knew about her and everything they had done to each other. He had told her about killing her husband, about how her husband was, about what she did with her life. Faith's eyes were glazed over with tears. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Jason didn't like that he was the one who had to make her upset.
"Wow," she breathed, "you must hate me." Jason shook his head.
"No. I used to, but I honestly can't say I have those feelings anymore. I've started to care for you, Faith. But you on the other hand, you hate me because I killed your husband."
"How could I hate you from freeing me from that monster? It sounds like I became a monster too," Faith replied quietly. "I know I should probably hate you, but I don't. The way it sounds, he was horrible. For some reason, I feel like I should believe you."
"You can believe me. I don't lie."
"Somehow I know that's true," Faith replied quietly. "Jason, I know this might sound odd, but I feel something toward you. I don't know you from Adam, but I do know that I want to get to know you better. Do you think you can come back and talk to me again?"
"Of course," Jason said with a smile, "I'll come back." Faith sighs heavily and brings her hand to her head. "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little tired," Faith replied.
"Get some rest. I'll be back tomorrow," Jason replied.
"Promise?" Faith asked with a smile.
"I promise," Jason replied.
"And I promise to never be the witch that I apparently was before the accident. I'm sorry, Jason."
"You don't remember anything, Faith. You're not to blame for it anymore. You just get some sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay," Faith replied quietly. She shut her eyes and Jason kissed her cheek before he left the room and the hospital for the rest of the night, with nothing but Faith on his mind.

Sonny sat quietly in his penthouse, staring out the balcony doors. He was so tempted to throw himself over and get rid of the misery in his life. He knew that brining Brenda back into his life was a big mistake. He knew that the only reason he was going to have her there was to have sex with her. He felt like a pig and he knew he was one. He just wanted to have Carly back. But he couldn't bring her back into his life after all of the shit he had put her through.
Sonny was snapped out of his thoughts by a phone call. He answered the phone.
"What?" he asked angrily.
"It's Lorenzo," Lorenzo spoke softly.
"What the hell do you want?" Sonny asked.
"I just wanted to let you know that your wife broke up with me. But I'm sure you already knew that."
"Couldn't be happier," Sonny said with a dry chuckle.
"Yeah, well she has moved on."
"Yeah. From you."
"And from you," Lorenzo replied. "She has a new man in her life. His name is Mark. They had lunch this afternoon and I believe he has invited her for dinner tomorrow night at the No Name. They'll be dancing and dining all night long." Sonny felt the rage inside of him build up and he shook his head.
"Stop following my wife," Sonny replied.
"Looks like Mark has something neither one of us could give her."
"Shut up you stupid bastard. If I ever catch you following Carly, I'll rip your spine out your throat."
"Threats, Sonny?" Lorenzo asked. "I don't think either of us should be threatening each other right now. I think we should be working together to get Mark out of Carly's life. We both love her. We both want her. Why don't we fight for her by working together first to eliminate the competition?"
"You're seriously fucked in the head," Sonny said angrily. He hung up the phone and he shook his head. He knew Carly was going to move on, but he didn't expect it to be so quickly. He felt like a complete asshole for letting his happen.
Jason walked through the door and Sonny looked at him.
"Carly's dating again," Sonny grumbled.
"Did you expect her to pine away for you forever?" Jason asked. Sonny was surprised by his friend's tone, but he didn't reply back. "I need to tell you something."
"What?" Sonny asked.
"You're not going to like it."
"Just say it."
"I think I'm in love with Faith."
"What?!" Sonny asked quickly. "Jason! What the hell is wrong with you? You're fucking crazy!"
"I started to fall for her before she was shot, Sonny. Now she has amnesia," Jason replied. "I told her everything. Everything. She hates the way she used to be and she can't even remember it. Man, she wants to change. I want to help her make a new life." Sonny began to laugh.
"You hate Faith. You killed her husband!"
"She knows how I used to feel about her. She knows I killed her husband. But she still wants me to be around. What do you say?"
"I say you're insane. Could she be faking this?" Sonny asked.
"No," Jason replied. "She has changed. I see it in her eyes. Her eye's are angry and cold anymore. They're . . . they're beautiful."
"Oh Jesus," Sonny said with a laugh. "And I thought I was stupid for calling Brenda."
"You called Brenda?" Jason asked with surprise.
"Yeah. She's coming here to . . . to live with me."
Carly opened the door to the home she would soon be moving out of. She pushed the stroller inside as Michael ran in behind her. He hurried into the kitchen to get something to drink. Carly pushed the stroller into the hall and unloaded Morgan. She pulled Morgan into her arms and carried him into the living room.
