Chapter Three
Jason Morgan stood by the enterance to the ballroom, away from the main entry. He nods as Max and Johnny walk in through the side door.
" Is everything secure?" says Jason.
" Everything. We've swept the entire hospital, up and down. Everything looks fine. Marco and the other guys are all over." says Max.
" You're sure? I don't want him getting up there if there are any risks. Sonny was adimant about it." says Jason.
Johnny nods in agreement.
" Already, thanks alot. Stick by the door if you don't mind. Take a look at anyone suspicious who comes in or out. Come get me if there are any problems." says Jason, thanking them and walking into the ballroom over to Sonny and Carly's table.
Jason sits next to Sonny, adjusting his tucks. He hates wearing these things. It was a good thing this was pretty much the only time he was required to wear one. Sonny turns to Jason.
" Everything checked?" says Sonny.
" They swiped the hospital. It's clean." says Jason.
" Good." says Sonny, nervously.
" Sonny, relax. Michael's gonna be fine-" says Jason, giving him a reassuring pat on the back.
Sonny nods, sitting back in his seat.
..a gun cocks and someone sets there position..aiming for the stage...
Carly walks out from the restroom, seeing Bobbie come in from the enterance.
" Mom, hey." says Carly, hugging her.
" Hey yourself. I can't believe I even made it, there was an emergency in the ER. They haven't started yet have they?" says Bobbie.
" No, not yet. They're about to. Why don't you sit with Sonny and I?" says Carly.
" Sounds good. I bet Michael's excited everyone's here to see him." says Bobbie, as they walk into the ballroom.
" Are you kidding, he told us not to bother coming. He said he got pushed into doing this by Lulu and Brooke." says Carly, rolling her eyes.
Bobbie laughs.
" Teenagers, I'm tellin' ya." says Carly, as they reach the table.
Sonny and Jason look up as they reach the table.
" Hey Bobbie." says Sonny, giving her a nod.
" Sonny, Jason." says Bobbie, sitting next to Carly.
Nikolas walks into the ballroom, sitting near the back so not so many people would stare. That was the one thing he hated the most about being 'alive' as Nikolas. People staring and talking immidiantly after he entered a room. He didn't even know why he was here..
Emily looks back from where she is sitting with Lucky and Elizabeth, noticing Nikolas sitting in the back with a few other people she didn't know. She looked for a few more moments until he started looking back at her. She quickly turned her head, facing back towards the others.
Lucky glares back at Nikolas, still not understanding why he was even there. He saw his friends and family everyday, and still didn't remember any of them. What good could any of this do?
..the lights dim as the gun is targeted again, to the exact point of direction..
Courtney and Jax quickly pass through the main enternance. Courtney gives a small smile and nod to Max, as they enter the ballroom as the lights dim.
" Remind me why we're here?" says Jax, practically being dragged by Courtney to the table, across the room from Jason and Sonny.
" Because Michael's preforming and I promised him I'd come." says Courtney, as they sit down.
" I heard the whole conversation, Courtney. He told you not to come." says Jax, with a small smile.
Courtney laughs, smiling at Jax.
" You obviously don't understand teenagers. That really means he wants me to come, but dosen't want me to make a big deal out of it." says Courtney, kissing Jax lightly on the lips.
" Ah, I see." says Jax, moving closer to Courtney's chair.
" Be good." says Courtney, looking at the stage.
" I try." says Jax, with a smile.
Michael takes a deep breath, peeking out without anyone seeing him.
" What the hell are you doing?" says Brooke, making a face.
" They're all out there." says Michael, annoyed.
" Who's they?" says Brooke to Lulu, confused.
" They're your family, not the CIA." says Lulu, laughing.
" They may as well be." says Michael.
" You're so dramatic.." says Brooke.
" Did anyone ask you?" says Michael.
" No-" says Brooke, crossing her arms over her chest, staring him down.
Suddenly Lucy starts talking on the stage, and then everyone claps.
" Alright, that's our cue." says Lulu.
" I'm gonna throw up-" says Michael.
" Will you stop being such a girl?" says Brooke.
" I'll tell you what cous, I will when you start acting like one, alright?" snaps Michael.
" Ok, seriously, you two. Now's not the time." says Lulu.
They all three go out on stage, starting there dance number. The other dancers come on stage, dancing as well. Everyone is laughing, and cheering them on.
...click click....aim....bang...
Suddenly, shots started ringing throughout the ballroom, all directed towards the stage. Johnny and Max run inside, both heading for Sonny and Jason's table, hovering over them on the ground. Jason looks up at Sonny, who is sheilding Carly from the bullets. Sonny looks at him for a second, and then up at the stage. He knew exactly what had happend..
