A/N – Thanks for the comments! Glad you liked the Carly confrontation. So glad you're still with me. I have lots to write about. Oh the drama lol.

Chapter 39 - Truths

Dante walked into Morgan's room with Carly trailing him.

"Dante, can't this wait?" Sonny asked.

"No, it can't."

Morgan bitterly looked at Dante. "I'll tell you what happened. Michael hates me and he deliberately tried to kill me. I want to press charges."

"What?" Carly said loudly.

Morgan made a noise and a face. "Let me guess, you automatically believe perfect little Michael. He tried to kill me mom and Josslyn. He's sick."

Sonny sighed. "If Michael really did this…"

"Sonny! You have freaking lost your mind."

"We have no reason not to believe what Morgan is saying."

Morgan smirked slightly before he could catch himself but Dante saw it.

"Please, everyone be calm. Did Michael say anything before he turned off the road?"

"He told me that he hated me and wished I was dead. Poor Josslyn was screaming."

Dante sighed. "Morgan, I need you to tell me the truth."

"Figures you would believe Michael over your own flesh and blood. You always were a traitor."

Dante didn't acknowledge what he said. "If you are purposely lying on a statement to the police, then I'm going to have to take you in."

Sonny looked at Dante like he was crazy. "Can't you see he's traumatized?"

"He's going to be traumatized when I get through with him," Carly said angrily.

"This is your last chance Morgan. Tell me what happened."

"I told you. We were driving and he was yelling at me and he just drove off the side of the road in a rage. You know he hasn't been acting like himself."

Dante sight. "Morgan Corinthos, you have the right to remain silent…." He continued on as Sonny yelled at Dante and even threatened to sue him. When he was finished Morgan said, "Yes."

"Don't say another word." Sonny said.

What he didn't know was that there was a witness who was driving behind him, who was in an SUV and he could see Morgan grabbed the wheel and the man had to slow down as the car swerved and Michael struggled for control. He was the one who called 911.

Carly strode up to the bed. "If you caused that accident because of your selfish need to get back at Michael, you're going to need witness protection. Josslyn is laying in a bed unconscious, fighting for her life because you had to be an asshole and endanger her life," she yelled.

"Carly stop," Sonny said.

"Fuck you Sonny. You are part of his problem and so am I for that matter. I will not let him get away with this."

"You're not going to bail me out?" Morgan asked.

"Hell no. I'm done kissing up to you. If you did this, than you are on your own Morgan and I swear to God Sonny, if you bail him out I will make you pay for the rest of your sorry life and you know I'm good for it. He needs some tough love not you kissing his ass when he wants nothing to do with you anyway. Dante, do you have proof that Morgan did this?"

"Yes. There was a witness. He's the one that called it in."

Carly was seething with anger. "I want to press charges for child endangerment."

Dante was stunned.

"You better think about what you did to your sister Morgan. She didn't deserve this. I thought you were better than that. Who are you?" Carly asked crying.

Tears began to well up in Morgan's eyes. "I don't know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for her to get hurt. I forgot she was there."

"Because you were hell bent on hurting your brother. How far are you going to take this? Does Josslyn or Michael have to die before you think it's enough? Stop this madness Morgan before you do something that can't be taken back."

Carly rushed out of the room and Morgan started to cry.

"There will be an officer outside your room. When you are discharged, you'll have to come down to the station. He's going to need a lawyer Sonny."

Sonny sighed. His life was shit. His kid's lives were shit. He just couldn't take it anymore and he walked out of the room leaving a stunned Morgan lying there by himself.

Jason went back to the house after Dante returned. He was tired.

Liz walked towards him and hugged him. "How are they?"

"Josslyn is still unconscious and has a broken arm. Michael has a concussion and broken ribs, and Morgan has a concussion, broken arm and is currently under arrest."

"For what?" Liz asked.

"For causing the accident and lying about it. Carly is pressing charges because she is done with their fighting."

Liz's eyebrow shot up. "Wow."

"I know. It was a shit show. Maybe this will cause Morgan to get himself together."

"I never want our boys to fight like that."

Jake came running around the corner. "Daddy!"

Jason smiled for the first time in hours and swept him up into his arms and kissed him on the cheek. "I missed you."

Jake smiled. "I missed you too. Come play with me."

"Okay."

"Wait, Jason you haven't eaten. Come eat first and then you can play."

He carried Jake into the kitchen. "Where's Danny?"

"He fell asleep. Cameron is upstairs on the computer. He's been checking in on him."

Jason smiled. "I want to do something special for Cam. He's been a great big brother."

Liz smiled. "I'm sure he would like that."

Jason put Jake on the seat next to him.

"Do you want some juice Jake?"

Jake nodded. "Please."

She poured him some and then made Jason a sandwich.

He hadn't realized how hungry he was until she suggested he eat.

"Is Dylan still at the hospital with Carly?" Georgie asked as she walked up to them.

"Yeah. She's a wreck. Bobby was on her way. He was just waiting until she got there."

Georgie sat down as Jason started to inhale his sandwich. She chuckled and looked at Elizabeth. "Dylan and I are going out to dinner tonight."

"Okay. Are you going to Eli's?" Liz asked.

"Yup. I could use some ribs."

Liz grinned. "They are the best around."

"Although, I will be making a ham sandwich tomorrow if there is any left."

"I did buy a huge one but with these big guys around, you never know."

Dylan walked in. "Did someone call for a big guy."

Georgie giggled.

"I didn't think that was funny," Dylan said kissing her on the cheek.

"Ewwww," Jake said.

Dylan smirked and then walked over to him and started kissing him on the cheek and tickling him and Jake broke out into a fit of laughter.

Liz grinned. She loved hearing him laugh.

Jason finished up and Liz took his plate. "I'll watch the boys. Why don't you and Georgie go relax for a while?"

Georgie looked over at Liz. "I challenge you to a Wii tennis match."

Liz smirked. "You're on. You may think you're all hot stuff cause your twenty-eight but look nineteen, but I've got skillz. Cam taught me how to slam."

Georgie grinned. "Well bring it grandma."

Dylan and Jason cringed.

"Consider it brought popsicle."

Dylan chuckled.

Jason heard Danny so he grabbed Jake and went upstairs. They sat on the floor and played with some toys. After a while, Jason laid on the floor and watched them. He had always wanted to be a dad and he was really enjoying spending time with the boys. Danny handed him a car and he rolled it on the floor. He had already decided what he was getting Jake and had called the store and put it on hold until he could run out later and get it. He was pretty excited about it.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Johnny's stomach hurt from laughing at Georgie and Elizabeth. Dylan wiped his eyes and blew out a breath. The girls were hysterical. The faces they were making and the smack talk were slaying the guys.

"Come on grandma. You can do better than that," Georgie said.

Liz smashed the ball and Georgie missed it.

"Grandma just kicked your ass."

Georgie giggled.

Liz went to serve and Georgie gasped and said, "Jason. Why are you shirtless?"

Liz's head jerked around and she missed the shot. The look on her face was priceless. Johnny and Dylan busted up laughing.

Georgie grinned. "Gotcha."

Liz shook her head. They went back and forth and finally, Liz squeaked by Georgie and won. "Champion," she said raising her hands above her head.

"Uh, I'll never live this down."

Liz grinned.

"Come on grandma, let's go slather some oil of olay on you before you dry up," Georgie said.

Liz giggled.

They all went back upstairs to see what the boys were up to.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Robin picked up her cell phone. "Hello?"

"Robin, it's AJ."

"Hey. Is everything okay?"

"Yes. I need your help."

Robin went into an empty room. "What's going on?"

"I need to see Michael. Can you sneak me in?"

"Carly has been in and out to see him. Monica is in there now. They are keeping him overnight. Meet me at the employee entrance and I'll get you in there after visiting hours are over."

AJ smiled. "Thanks."

"I'll see you then."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Carly left Michael's room and went into Morgan's. He wasn't going to be released and taken into custody until the morning.

"Why did you come back?"

"To let you know that Josslyn woke up. They are taking her for tests right now."

Morgan's eyes welled up with tears. "That's good."

"Hopefully we'll get good news."

"I really am sorry. I love Josslyn. I wouldn't have hurt her on purpose."

"But you'd hurt Michael on purpose?"

Morgan didn't answer.

"You are blaming Michael for things that aren't even under his control. Yes, I know he was a jerk about Kiki but the favoritism you like to throw in his face wasn't his doing. I love you Morgan but I really haven't liked you for a long time. You have done everything to push everyone away. I know because you get that shitty trait from me."

Morgan smirked.

"It occurred to me that I was being a little bit of a hypocrite earlier because I have bailed Michael out when he did really stupid things. I'm torn right now because I feel like in a way you need to hit rock bottom before you turn it around. As a mother, I want to break your fall but it just seems like you never learn when I do." Carly threw her hands up as tears streamed down her face. "I don't know what to do. I don't know what you need. You have so much anger and hate bubbling inside of you all of the time. Can you even tell me why you can't stop doing what you've been doing?"

Morgan's face contorted. "I just—I can't control it. Sometimes it scares me. I couldn't stop in the car, even when Josslyn screamed. I'm scared that I'm turning into dad. That I'm sick."

Carly's lip quivered as Morgan cried and she went to him and held him. "If you are sick, then we'll get you help. We'll find the right medication. And I will be there for you just like I have been for your brother and sister when they needed me. Okay?"

He nodded and held onto his mom for dear life and prayed that the demons would go away.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Sonny took a sip of his drink. He needed to calm his nerves. They were shot. Between seeing and hearing from AJ and the accident, he felt like he was losing his mind.

Morgan was out of control and he didn't know how to reach him. Both his sons hated him and it ate him up inside. He had to do something and he wasn't sure what.

Francis walked into the house and Sonny looked up.

"Why are you here?"

"Max was concerned."

Sonny threw back another drink.

"I thought I'd hang around a little bit to make sure that everything was okay."

"My sons are in the hospital and I feel like I'm losing my mind. Maybe it is good that you're here."

Francis sat down. "What do you need?"

Sonny looked at him long and hard. He wondered if he could trust Francis. He was wary of everyone lately.

"I want security increased. I think someone is after me. I need to feel safe."

Francis nodded. "Done."

Sonny closed his eyes for a minute. "Fill me in on the island," he said sitting down. He needed something to take his mind of what was going on.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

AJ fell back on his bed. The thoughts were getting stronger to eliminate those he hated. He was fighting them with everything that he had but he was weakening. He needed to end Sonny. Maybe if he took him out, the pain in his leg and head would go away. And then there was his brother. He had tried so hard to squelch his anger but it was boiling. He had decided it was better to stay away from everyone until he could get it under control. In the meantime, he was preparing to take Nikolas down. He had some people working on finding any illegal activities they could. Once Sonny was taken care of, he could reveal himself and with his and Jason's vote, they could overturn Nikolas's takeover and the Quartermaines could take back what was rightfully theirs.

He got and took some aspirin. It was time to go see Michael.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Robin smirked at AJ's "disguise". He had on a hate, mustache, and some coveralls. "Follow me and just look down as you walk."

"Okay."

They made their way to Michael's room and Robin made sure that no one was in there.

"It's safe. I'll linger out here in case someone tries to go in."

AJ smiled. "Thank you Robin."

"You're welcome."

AJ went in and Michael turned off the television and frowned. "Who are you?"

AJ looked up and grinned. "Surprise."

Michael smiled. "Hey."

"Robin snuck me in. I had to see you."

"I'm just banged up but I'll be okay."

"I heard that Josslyn is awake."

Michael nodded. "She has a pretty bad concussion and will have to stay here a few days but Patrick thinks she'll be fine."

"That's good."

"What about Morgan."

Michael groaned. "It's a mess. He's going to be taken in when he's released because he lied at first. Mom said he broke down and thinks he has bipolar."

AJ sat down. "Do you think he does?"

"I don't know. It might explain some of his behavior. Who knows maybe he just has an imbalance and it's not that serious. I might be pissed at him but I don't wish bipolar on anyone."

"I hear ya. I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of this."

"Is it sick that I'm kind of used to the drama?"

AJ shook his head. "No."

They could hear raised voices and AJ got up and pretended to look under the sink.

Sabrina walked in and frowned when he saw AJ.

"Hey," Michael said.

She smiled. "I had a quick break and just wanted to see how you were doing."

"I'm a little better."

She took his hand. "I know things have been a little up in the air between us since….."

"I went crazy?"

She chuckled. "Yeah."

"I'm doing a lot better now. I feel good and I'm trying to surround myself with the right people."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. Maybe when you feel up to it, we could go on another date."

Michael smiled. "I'd like that."

She got up and kissed him on the cheek. "Take care Michael."

"Bye."

She walked out and AJ sat down with a big smirk on his face.

"She seems nice."

"She is."

"What? That's all you're going to give me."

Michael grinned. "I like her. We've both been through a lot and at heart, she's a good person."

"Then I'm happy for you. Don't let her go."

"I won't. Maybe you should find yourself a cute nurse."

AJ looked down to hide the flash of anger he felt when he thought about Elizabeth. "Yeah, somehow I don't think I'm great boyfriend material."

" ?"

AJ laughed.

"You deserve to find some happiness."

AJ looked at his son and smiled. "You always choose to see the good in me. Why?"

Michael shrugged. "Because I know it's there and I know you want to change."

"I do."

"Then we'll change together."

AJ took Michael's hand and shook it. "Deal."
