Hey guys!!! I'm really sorry for all the confusion last chapter. When I
first began this story the character's name was Marissa, then I read a
spoiler that said Sam will name the baby Lila. But her name is definately
Lila in my story and I think I fixed everything. I'm really happy you guys
noticed how much Adella acts like her mother and how messed up the family
really is. I'll explain in later chapters why Michael is so hostile towards
his "family" for now just read and review :)luvr
Chapter 3: A Patio, A Terrace, and a Sister
The last few days had passed quickly for Lila. Most of it had been spent arguing with Emily about living in Port Charles. It wasn't a difficult decision, her friends had all gone off to college and her dad was dead so there was no real reason to stay in California. She'd won in the end, and Emily, Nikolas, and Ana had gone back to Greece leaving Antonio and Lila in Port Charles.
"I'll leave after you find a place to stay," he said one night during dinner.
Lila looked at him skeptically,"We both know that you're waiting for me to change my mind and ask you to take me back to San Francisco." His silence was all the affirmation she needed. "It's not going to happen. I can't go back. I can't live in the house that Dad and I shared; it hurts to much. I need to make a fresh start, and what better place than my hometown?"
He reached across the table and squeezed her hand,"You know you can always come home."
She squeezed back,"You know I'll always visit."
He flew back the next day leaving Lila and her apartment search alone. She was sure that finding an apartment wouldn't be tough, given her lack of budget, but she had no idea what actually went into it. She was sitting on a bench in the park attempting to decipher the listings.
"What the hell is the difference between a patio and a terrace?" she mumbled.
"A terrace is in the air and a patio is on the ground."
Lila turned and saw a girl with curly brown hair and brown eyes. She only looked a couple years older than Lila.
"Yep, Michael was right you definitely look like Sonny."
Lila looked at her incredulously and asked,"You think I look like Sonny?"
"Calm down," the girl said approaching the bench. "I didn't say that it was a bad thing. If it was I'd be in trouble." At Lila's puzzled look she stuck her hand out."Kristina Chloe Adella Davis-Lansing. Your sister. Or if you want to get technical half-sister."
Lila took her hand and said,"Lila Emily McCall-Morgan."
"Ah another hyphenated name. This town's full of em'."
Lila surveyed her and said,"So you're my sister huh? Hopefully you're better behaved than the other one."
That caused Kristina to laugh,"So you've met Adella huh?"
"Yeah she informed me at my father's funeral that I'd never steal her family away."
"Ouch! Did you hit her?" Kristina asked with a laugh.
"It was Lila's turn to laugh,"No, but I nearly broke her wrist. I then informed her that I didn't want them as my family."
Kristina nodded,"Yeah I know what you mean. Remind me to tell ya sometime how my uncle managed to become my stepfather." She gestured at the apartment listings that now lay forgotten on the park bench. "You lookin' for a place to stay?"
"Yeah,"Lila said."I've been staying at The Port Charles Hotel, it's nice, but I'll scream if I have to eat anymore room service. I prefer to cook my own food."
"I gotta meet someone at Kelly's. You should come, we can talk some more," Kristina said standing up.
Lila followed her lead and for the first time since her father died felt happy.
Kelly's
"So Lucky was kidnapped and brainwashed and nobody knew?" Lila asked in disbelief.
"That's what Luke tells me," Kristina said sipping her milkshake. "I don't know how true it is though, he's kinda old and mean. He'll hit you with his cane if you get in his way and walk too slow."
"Why Kristina Lansing we both know that's not true!" drawled a voice from behind her. A tall brown-haired boy dropped into the seat next to Lila. He leaned closer to her and in a serious voice said, "He'll hit you no matter what." Both girls burst out laughing.
"Lila this is Liam Spencer. Lucky's son."
"Lila huh? Lila got a last name?" Liam asked looking in her direction.
"Yep, got two of em'" she answered.
"Three if she get's her way and becomes a Corinthos," said a voice.
Lila recognized the voice imediately and turned towards it. There were Sonny, Carly, and Adella. "Well, well, well if it isn't my baby sister." Lila spat. "Come to do some family bonding?"
"You wish Lila! We are just letting you know that Sonny will never be your father," Carly said.
"Ya came all the way to Kelly's for that? Couldn't you have just left a message?" Liam asked.
Lila stood up to look Adella in the eye. The younger girl was two inches taller, but that didn't intimidate Lila."When are you going to understand that my father and your father are two completely different people? I thought I got through to you last time maybe I should try again eh?"
"That's not necessary,"Sonny said quickly. "We were coming to have some lunch, but we'll go somewhere else."
"The hell we will!" Carly shouted. "My mother owns this place and the only people that will be leaving is you three."
"Actually Carly, Lucas owns this place, but he left me in charge until he gets back from India. So... kick rocks and get the hell out!"
