Someone to Love Ch. 11
Gia's face lost all of its color as she saw what Marcus was holding. Oh god, what was she going to do now? Marcus looked furious.
Marcus's head was hanging down as his hand held up the proof of her marriage. He lifted up his head and looked straight at Gia. The anger, pain, and feelings of betrayal were evident in his eyes. Gia had never seen him like this.
"Gia tell me this isn't true." Marcus said in an undertone.
"I can't Marcus, I'm sorry." Gia said, as her eyes concentrated on the floor, she couldn't bear to look at him, the disappointment she saw was too much.
Marcus's face went dark with anger; he lunged for Jason, grabbed his collar and pushed him up against the wall. Jason didn't look surprised in fact it looked like he had been expecting this all along. Marcus was screaming in his face as three police officers pulled him off of Jason. Jason had just stared straight ahead, not reacting to anything. 'Figures,' Gia thought.
"Gia I want to talk to you, in private." Marcus said through gritted teeth, trying to regain composure he pointed to one of the interrogation room.
Jason looked at Gia, telling her she didn't have to, but she just nodded and followed Marcus.
He slammed the door behind her and pointed to an empty chair. Gia, not wanting to make things worse, sat down.
"You married that thug? Do you have any idea what he does? He kills Gia, he kills people for a living."
"No Marcus, you don't know him." Gia said surprising even herself by the way that she had defended Jason.
"I don't know him?! I didn't even think you had met him before today!" Marcus was switching between yelling and whispering.
"Of course I had met him," Gia lied, "I worked for Carly and she is practically my best friend!"
"Gia, I know why your doing this, okay." Marcus said trying to take another approach. "You don't have to protect him, and if they threatened you, I will protect you. You don't have to be afraid."
"I'm not afraid!"
"You cannot tell me that this marriage is real, everyone knows it's a sham! For God's sake Gia, come to your senses!"
"Marcus please, it's my life and-"
"No! Do not even go there! You are putting yourself in danger by being with those criminals!"
"STOP IT! Those criminals are my friends!" Gia said as she jumped out of her chair. She knew Marcus would be upset, but he was acting like an ass.
"FRIENDS! YOU CALL THEM FRIENDS! GIA HOW STUPID ARE YOU!"
"WELL I MUST BE REAL STUPID TO HAVE BELIEVED THAT MY BROTHER CARED ABOUT ME!" Gia delivered her statement hoping it carried the spite that she felt.
"GIA DAMMIT!! YOU KNOW I CARE! THAT IS WHY I FORBID YOU TO GO BACK WITH JASON MORGAN."
At the word 'forbid' the blood in Gia's veins went cold. "Who the hell do you think you are? This is my life. No!" Gia said as she saw Marcus was about to interrupt; she spoke in an eerily calm voice. "You let me finish! This is my life! No one, no one tells me what to do. No one. How can you act like you know me? You don't! Okay so this is how it's going to be; stay the hell away from me, stay the hell away from MY husband, and stay the hell out of OUR LIVES!!!" With that Gia opened the door and stormed out of the P.C.P.D. blinded by everything around her, she was too angry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inside the P.C.P.D. Jason and Taggert continued to glare at each other. It was Taggert who spoke first.
"You won't get away with this Morgan, I'll prove that this marriage is a fake and that you forced Gia into it. And when I do, I'll make sure that you never see the light of day again."
Jason didn't answer him, he just continued glaring.
"And if my sister gets hurt because of you, I swear I'll make you pay."
With that Jason sighed, turned around and walked out of the precinct with Carly and Sonny following him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jason, Sonny, and Carly walked out to the parking lot and found Gia pacing in front of their car. Carly was the first to approach her, "Are you okay Gia?"
"NO! I cannot believe he acted like that! I mean okay he's always hated Sonny, and Sonny always hated him, but to treat me like a child!!! I'm sorry, but that miserable-"
"Gia, he's your brother and he's just worried about you." Everyone looked up at Sonny surprised to hear him stick up for Taggert.
"I don't give damn! He sure didn't seem to care-never mind! But still! Everything I do is wrong! And I know I don't have the greatest track record, but come on, you have to admit that even Jason is an improvement over Nikolas."
"Thank you," Jason said dryly.
Gia didn't even stop to acknowledge his gripe, she just continued in her rant, "I mean with Nikolas, his uncle and his psycho grandma tried to either break us up or kill me, and his father tried to date me, get me into bed, used me as bait, and then tried to kill me. With Jason it's just the Quartermaines, and granted Edward is crazy, bitter, old, man, and then there's A.J. and his 'Pity me. Oh, poor me. I'm the victim,' and that's just plain pathetic. Otherwise I'm sure none of them will try and kill me. All right so there is the possibility that some guy out there wants me dead, but I think I'll take that over some psycho granny hell-bent on world domination." Gia leaned on the trunk of the car and took a deep breath; they all stared at her with bewildered looks upon their face.
"You know Gia it's really bad for you to hold everything in, you should really tell us how you're feeling, and what's going through your mind." Carly joked.
"Uh Carly, Johnny will take you and Gia home, then you two can do whatever. I honestly don't want to know." Sonny said.
Gia turned to Carly who was now standing next to her, "Which one is he? The cute one, the sexy one or the charming one or-"
Carly mumbled something that was incoherent to the others, Gia laughed and nodded. Sonny just rolled his eyes and pulled Jason to follow him. Jason looked back at Gia and Carly, who were know laughing and whispering about something else. He was mad, he wasn't sure why, Gia could be attracted to other guys. This wasn't a real marriage, and he didn't care. Did he?
Gia's face lost all of its color as she saw what Marcus was holding. Oh god, what was she going to do now? Marcus looked furious.
Marcus's head was hanging down as his hand held up the proof of her marriage. He lifted up his head and looked straight at Gia. The anger, pain, and feelings of betrayal were evident in his eyes. Gia had never seen him like this.
