General Hospital
Sam was happy Drew was being released from the hospital Elle was released a few days before and they will leave in a couple of days she had already gotten in contact with his previous Physical therapist. They were going to take the kids to meet the Quartermaines today Drew was a little after hearing all about them.
It had become sort of a ritual A.J would stop by and see him they would talk he wasn't that bad he may have had his faults like evereyone else but he seemed like a pretty decent guy. He had been ready to leave the hospital as he sat in the waiting room unable to stay in that room any longer when the elevatored open.
With the kids yelling "DADDY" as they all ran to him when Halsy said "DaDa" which made Drew smile as Sam handed him the baby as he hugged and kissed the rest. " hey baby girl you miss me" he said as she touched his face whispering Dada you guys ready to go he said " Yes" they yelled.
I can't hear you Drew said, " YES" they shouted as loud as they possibly could making Sam laugh as he handed her back Halsey and began to use his walker. When Epiphany brought the wheelchair over making Drew look " Umm thank you Nurse Johnson but i don't need it" he said. I am going to walk out of here with my wife and kids expect a thank you card from me you are the best health facilitator none to man he said trying to charm the nurse.
What kind of flowers do you look rose, daisies, oh carnation are pretty Drew finishes with a smile, " oh why thank you Mr. Cain your too kind now sit your behind in this wheelchairs" she says with a smile. He turned and look at Sam who was snickering along with the kids " you heard the lady Mr. Cain don't doddle Sam said laughing as he sat down.
Which made Drew pout causing Sam and Epiphany both laugh " Awe baby don't pout here Halsey will make it all better" she said putting Halsey in his lap. Drew just shook his head at the no nonsense nurse as she pushed the wheelchair to the elevator.
Hey Sam have you heard from Curtis i have been calling him and it has been going straight to voicemail Drew asked worried about his friend. No i haven't i tried calling myself and no answer i will send one of the guys to check on him which is weird because he and Isaiah have been inseperable since Elle accident.
Something didn't seem righ to either Sam or Drew but lets not worry about that today while we go meet your family she said kissing him. When the Elevator opened they both saw Jason step out "Jason" Drew said moving back in his wheelchair. Leaving already" Carly said, yes we are Carly i wish Sonny a speedy recovery and hope he gets to leave soon Sam said.
Which caused Jason to grab and hold Carly back your lastest move will cost you Carly Sam said. Do it bitch because i will make sure you go down with me Carly said when Kristina came out the other elevator. Goodbye Carly enjoy your freedom as it last Sam said see you later Krissy and with that she was gone.
Carly stop you keep digging yourself a big wholefo her to bury you in Jason chastised, it makes me sick how she thinks that she can just get away with it. Like you have Krissy said " come on Carly you do that all the time" and my dad and Jason have to make it go away. Which are you more angry about someone beating you at your own game or your mad that it is my sister.
And that not you, Jason or my dad can control what the outcome is she finished, Krissy she started this Carly said. How because she didn't jump to do what you want her to do " i know what you did Carly everyone else is paying for your mistakes" Krissy says.
Me my brothers, my sisters, my nieces and nephews are all paying and you have the nerve to act as though your the only one who has been wronged. You didn't even know Drew and if you took the time to do so you would see that he is a really great guy. But all that matters to you are the people in your circle who you care about nobody else i love Sam , Drew and you and my dad and i am the middle.
And you know who gets hurt everyone else Carly and that is on you i was open to giving you the benefit of the doubt when i realized you just don't see your wrongs Krissy said walking away.
Curtis apartment
He finally decide to get up after the rampant knocking when he opened the door Manolo was standing there " aren't you going to invite me in or do you want to continue your pity party. Looking at the young man look lost and hurt " do you think you can get your head out your ass long enough to realize your son needs you.
You think your the only one who lost something Curtis your not "Elena has carried that burden for ten years Curtis and it is worse for her because she replays it in her mind wondering what she could have done different the man said. Tell me didn't wallowing in self pity get you in this situation to begin with not reaching out to the people who cared.
Listen Mijo i have been where you have been Curtis i lost my entire family and i was just a boy my father put my baby sister in my arms and told me and my older brother Fernando to run. And we did my mother, my father and older brothers and older sister were all killed by a police man in D.R because he was jealous that this moreno took his blancita.
My mother was fair skin with long flowing black hair and these light eyes like Elena and my father was a Moreno who looked much like you. And the man was jealous my mother had nine kids with my father he had a little restaurant, and he had some bitter customer . Who was jealous because how can this Moreno his this beautiful fair skin woman, but neither of my parents lose there cool.
My mother served him his food and was polite no matter how many impolite or degrading he said about her or her children. That was until he decide to slap on her ass as she served another table so my brother Arturo knocked him on his ass. My father was out back killing chicken and roasting the pork when a friend of his ran back and told him my father told Fernando to take me and my baby sister and run.
Once Arturo threw the punch JL and Alejandro jumped in my sisters screaming stop because you wasn't going to disrespect my mother. My mother stepped in to deescalate the situation as she cover her children and he shot her point blank in the chest and it was down hill from then.
They shot and killed my brothers as my father begged for his childrens lives but they wanted power over him he told my sisters to run. Josefina my oldest sister was shot in the back as she ran to her house in front of my nephew who was two years younger then me.
My father killed three of them bastard before he died from multiple gun shots wounds, i don't know if Gloria or Estefania. This is what i was told because Fernando went back im sure they used my sisters to keep my father in line Manolo said. I couldn't go home i had no home my aunt only had room for Xeilia she would allow me and Fernando to sleep on her floor from time to time.
But we couldn't stay because the word in the campo was they were Looking for me and my brother so he take me too the capital and we stay there for awhile we do everything anything to get money. Until he finally convinced my mothers parents was only way to get rid of us was to send us too the states. When we got here Fernando was 18 he tell i go to school while he work because i can pass for one of those white boys.
and you know what i succeeded Then when i was 16 years old me and Fernando were riding our bikes and was hit by a city bus 114 th street. When i woke up my big brother was gone and i was alone mijo i cry everyday because i had nobody he was all i had. I call home everyday begging and pleading to home and nobody here for me i cursed god i curse everybody Manolo said with tears in his eyes.
But nobody would take me in and the lady was taking my grandfather checks for the apartment me and my brother share she kick me out and tell my grandfather that im trouble i tell him that bitch stealing my money. I was alone i had nobody and i was homeless and all of the moneu dwindled away little by little.
Then i went back to hustling like i did in the capital and i started to run with a rough crowded , then i met Carmen Luisa Dela Rosa i tried to steal her purse. And she kicked me right on my ass and she knew me from around the neighborhood she asked me wshy i try to steal from her. i say cause im hungry and i really need the money and she took me home with her she gave me clothes and food.
Then i met Florio and Esmerelda who i fell in love with just as fast as you did Elena, and she told me that if i wanted to breathe her daughters air i would have to get my shit together. Then i Florio took me under his wing i joined the marines when i was 18 while Esmerelda went to medical School they became my family and i wasn't alone any more.
The reason i'm telling you this Curtis is we all go through things and we choose to let it make or break us, now you can wallow in self pity or you can pick yourself up. Be kind the kid of man you want your son to be or do you want Shawn to play his daddy. Mijo you can't do anything about the past it gone and you cant't change that no matter how much you want too Curtis Manolo finishes.
in a small and quite voice Curtis asked " what did she look like" he asked, same as Isaiah but she had a head fill of hair same complexion and all Manolo said with a smile as he gave Curtis a picture of her. Curtis looked at the picture with tears in his eyes when Manolo handed him a baby book , Nena made tat for you while she was pregnant its full of every sonogram everything she was feeling at the moment.
She threw it out she doesn't know that her mother kept it, Curtis she maybe one of the strongest woman you know but she is still just human with feelings and emotions too. So i know it may seem like sometimes she can handled everything but she can't and that broke her because it made her feel helpless.
And you see how you feel now imagine how she felt Manolo finishes, " how do you do it man suffer so much lose" and still be on solid ground Curtis asked. You can either adapted or you can let it consume you or you can faces it head on now what you do is on you Curtid but if you ever disappoint you will not have to worry about Elena killing you i will.
Now get off your ass go take a shower and get your head out your ass failure isn't an option Curtis Manolo said as he left. Curtis took a deep breathe and got up more determined then he had ever been
