Sonny didn't even acknowledge Carly anymore. All he could see was Emily and the hurt that was in those brown eyes of her. She wasn't angry above all things that she could have been, she was simply upset. "Mom you came to take us home?" Michael asked running down the stairs with his coat on and his brother following him.
"Yep. Come on let's go to the car." Carly said walking out of Sonny's house and smiling at Emily on the way out.
"I'm going up to my room" Emily said giving Sonny a forced smile. "I'm not that hungry for dinner" She walked up not being able to look at him and simply went into her room as quiet as a mouse.
Sonny couldn't help but to feel bad and had the urge to run up the stairs and follow her to explain the situation that she had witnessed. Why should he though? Emily was simply a friend to him and that's it. Trying to bring his thoughts to something else he thought about Carly. He felt nothing. That kiss was as meaningless to him as she now was in his heart. Why did Emily walk in? He could not get her out of his head as much as he tried. The sound of shattered glass, and a bullet going through the window, completely caught him by surprise. They were shooting at his house again. Emily. He ran up the stairs to make sure that she was okay. The bullets continued and he ran faster and faster up the stairs. "Emily!" he shouted.
"Sonny, I'm here!" She was in the hallway away from all the windows, sitting with her knees up to her chest in a corner. He simply hugged her, both not feeling awkward that she had began to undress before the gunshots, and that her shirt was wide open exposing her bra. The shots stopped and Sonny got on the phone.
"Make sure no one is in the house and I want those windows done tonight, no matter how much it cost. I want them bullet proof, Max!" He hung up the phone and began to dial again. He caught a glimpse of Emily's open shirt now and noticed how beautiful her body was. Emily noticed, and began buttoning her shirt as fast as she could. "Jason, my house has been shot at. The kids are with Carly, their fine. Emily is with me, she's okay. Just get over here now." Sonny ordered. When he hung up the phone she saw Emily looking straight at him. "Are you okay?" he asked. She simply shook her head yes. She was scared he could see it. He hugged her again and said "I won't let anything happen to you do you hear me?" Sonny promised.
"I'm fine Sonny, really." She said. She looked so pretty that he couldn't help but want to make her feel safe and reassure her. He grabbed her face with both of his hands and kissed her forehead. She just grabbed his shoulders and hugged him laying her head on his chest. She didn't cry which surprised him, and made him think of exactly how right Jason was when he told him that Emily was tough on the inside. "Is Jason coming?" Emily asked.
"Sonny!" Jason yelled from downstairs.
"Sounds like he's already here" Sonny smiled at Emily. "We're up here." Sonny yelled downstairs to Jason.
Jason went up the stairs with his gun ahead of him, and Sam in the back, with her gun protecting Jason from behind. He saw Sonny and Emily in the corner of the hallway. "You guys okay?" he asked.
"Yeah we're fine" Both said standing up from the floor. Jason went straight to Emily and hugged her. "This isn't your life, Em. I'm so sorry that I ever got you involved." Jason said hugging her tighter and meaning every word. Any danger that was posed to Emily, Jason knew he was partially to blame for. Sonny just looked down and knew for a fact Jason was not the only one to blame. He then looked at Sam, she knew something.
Jason then went to Sonny, "Manny" Jason said hugging Sonny too. He couldn't help it. He did love Sonny just as much as he loved his sister. Both men walked downstairs to asses the damage and left the women upstairs.
"What's wrong Em?" asked Sam, her knew confidant. "Well besides the fact that you just got shot at of course" Sam said lighting up the mood.
"He still loves her" Emily said and Sam knew exactly what she was talking about. "I saw them kissing when I walked in getting home from the hospital" She said looking down.
"Oh Em." Sam said hugging her. "You don't know that. Sonny is a complicated man; you above all people should know that."
"It's okay Sam, it's for the best I have always known how things were and now I'm certain. So let's go downstairs and forget about this!" Emily said.
"That mad man has to die!" Sonny said. "I want him dead, my children could have been here, Emily could have been hurt, and so many things could have gone wrong" Sonny said.
"I know, I know" Jason said. He was a little confused about the part where Sonny was concerned about his sister. Why shouldn't he be though, Emily was part of both families, the Quartermaine's and the Morgan's, which included Sonny. Besides there was too much going on to think about Emily and Sonny. "Look Sonny, trust me I'm going to find that son of a bitch and I'm going to make him pay." Jason said with his hands in a fist.
"No. I want you to recover fully, do you hear me? The last thing that I need is for you to go around having a relapse and getting hurt on account of me!" Sonny said furious Jason even thought that he would assign him to this job considering that he was recovering from brain surgery.
"Oh and who the hell are you going to trust Sonny?" Jason asked knowing that he was his confidant, his right hand better said.
"I'll do it myself" Sonny said without hesitation. Emily and Sam we're walking down the steps and heard the situation quite well. Both Jason and Sonny looked down and stopped talking out of respect and involvement for the girls.
"No you won't" Emily said and surprised everyone with her sudden outburst, including Sam who just looked at her wide eyed. "What are you thinking of, you have Michael and Morgan and Kristina. Who's going to look after them if something happens to you? You think Carly will do it all by her self? They still will need their father."
"That's why I'm not planning on dying Emily, for your information" Sonny said somewhat sarcastically and somewhat joking. "Listen to me, you knew of the life that your brother and I lead, and you accepted it, and now it's in your face. I do this for the people that I love, you included!" Sonny yelled at Emily. He knew that he was taking his frustrations out on her and he hated himself for that.
"Wow, man, Stop! I won't let you talk to my sister like that" Jason interrupted. He also got in the middle because Emily looked like she was ready to burst out at Sonny too, and once you got Emily started there was no backing down and Emily could damage a man's ego if she really wanted too. Emily realized what Jason had done mostly for her sake. Why was she so angry at Sonny? Carly! Damn it! She knew that, that was the reason for her outburst. She also knew that she only wanted to protect Sonny; she was in love with him.
"I'm sorry" was the only thing that came out of Emily's mouth. She put her coat on and headed out to the garden.
"Where are you going?" Jason asked.
"Out" Emily said and walked out of the back of the house towards the guest house. Jason followed her.
"What was that about Sonny?" asked Sam, glad that she had a moment to talk to him by herself.
"Nothing." Sonny looked dead at her. She knew something. "What do you know?"
"About what?" Sam asked starting to clean up the house a little bit. She didn't want to betray Emily's trust.
"Emily. You know she's in love with me" Sonny guessed knowing he was head on.
Sam looked at him surprised and asked "How…"
"I overheard her and Jason have a conversation at he chapel and I heard the whole thing. She thinks that I still love Carly and not her" Sonny told Sam.
"Well you were kissing her" Sam pointed out the fact.
"Man, you women are amazing. The house get shot at you still manage to relay the gossip. News travels fast huh?" Sonny said smiling at the situation a little bit.
"She was upset Sonny. She told me and I'm glad she has someone to talk to her about her feelings for you. She can't go to Jason and she can't obviously go to you so I'm here." All Sonny heard was that Emily was upset. He hated that she walked in on him and Carly more than ever now. Those eyes were all Sonny could think about. They were like a knife thorough his own hear.
