Chapter Two: Only one

Lulu paced back and forth, her high heels making a noisy sound in the waiting room. When they first got to GH Dante was rushed into surgery and the only ones in the waiting room were her and Olivia, but now Johnny, Carly, Morgan, and Jax had came in.

Johnny was consoling Olivia while Carly tried to calm Lulu down.

"Bastard." She said.

"Lulu why don't you sit." Carly said.

"I could have gotten there sooner, then he wouldn't be hurt."

Carly was just about to say something when the waiting room door opened, they all stood up thinking it might be Patrick coming to give them some good news, but it was Sonny and Michael.

"Come on, Morgan, Let's go to the gift shop." Jax said touching the boys shoulder.

"Did you shoot him dad?" He asked.

"Buddy, I-"

"Come on, Morgan." Jax said walking him out of the room.

No one made eye contact with Sonny at first, Carly was the first to say something.

"I don't even know what to say."

"Mom, come on." Michael said.

"Don't speak, Michael Corinthos." She snapped. "Don't even open your mouth."

Olivia got up from the chair she was sitting on and walked out the door without a word to where she was going.

Johnny got up to go after her but Sonny stopped him.

"I'll go talk to her." Sonny said.

"You've done enough, Sonny."

"I'm not going to fight with you, but he's my son and I will go talk to him mother!" It was Sonny's turn to snap.

Everyone was quiet.

Johnny backed up with his hands up in the air. "Go right ahead and try to fix what you've done, Sonny."

With that Sonny left the room.

"Mom-"

"Give me your keys." Carly said with her hand out. "Now."

"What, why?"

"You were suppose to be at the church, and where were you? Luring Dante into a trap. Give them Now!"

He laughed. "Whatever."

"You think this is cool? Shooting people, killing people, because that's what Sonny does. That's the buisness you want to be apart of? Your father shot Olivia's son because Dante was trying to do HIS job and take down the biggest criminal in Port Charles, your father. I have news for you, you will never be in the mob and after tonight, I will move you across the world to make sure it never happens."

"Olivia?" Sonny said walking up to her.

"Don't Sonny, just stay the hell away from me."

"I didn't know, I had no idea." He protested.

"It doesn't matter, Sonny. You we going to kill him, you still might have!" She cried.

"I'm sorry." He said wanting to cry himself. "I'm so sorry."

"The surgery went good, we're just waiting for him to regain conciousness." Patrick said. "Does anyone know where Olivia is?"

"I'll find her." Carly said.

"You can go see him now." Patrick said before he left the room.

Lulu walked down the hall and into the room Patrick had told her he was in. She stood by his bed watching him, waiting for any sign of movement, but there was nothing.

"I'm so sorry, Dante." Lulu said pulling up a chair to his bedside and taking his hand. "I constantly defended Sonny and I was wrong, so wrong."

She whipped her eyes. "I tend to trust the wrong people."

"Except for you, though. Your one of the people in the world that I trust with my life, but if your not around...I don't know what I would do."

"Hey, you okay?" Lulu turned to see Johnny in the doorway.

"Yeah...no." Lulu shook her head.

"He'll be okay." Johnny said.

Lulu nodded.

"He loves you, you know."

"What? How do you know?" She asked.

"He told me a few days ago." Johnny smiled. "You love him too, don't you."

Lulu nodded again. "Yeah, I do."

"Hold on to that, it'll get you through the rough times."

"Thanks, Johnny." She smiled before he walked away.

Minutes had turned into hours and before they knew it, it was ten o' clock that night.

"Visiting hours are over, Sorry." Elizabeth said to the people that were outside Dante's door.

It had gotten even more crowded as the day went on and now Lucky, Luke and Ethan had joined the mix of people.

"We're going to go. Call us if anything happens." Carly said hugging Olivia.

Lulu thought to herself how Jax's part in all this hasn't come out yet, and she wonders if it ever will. She also saw Lucky glaring at Elizabeth something was going on, but she didn't have the energy to ask.

"I'll take you home." Ethan said to Lulu.

"I think I'm going to stay." She said.

"Honey, you don't have to." Olivia smiled.

"I know, I want to."

"I don't think that's a good idea." Lucky said.

"Well it's a good thing I don't care what you think." She snapped. "Sorry, it's been a long day."

Luke kissed her on the head. "We'll talk tomorrow."

Olivia and Lulu were the only ones standing in the hallway.

"I'm going to get some coffee, you want some?" Olivia asked.

"No thanks."

Lulu walked back into Dante's room and took her seat beside his bed, sliding her hand into his once again, while she sat there waiting for him to come back to her.
