"What are you looking at, Zacchara? You're probably the reason she's traumatized in the first place!* Dante snipped at Johnny, who was only concerned for his ex-girlfriend.
"I am so god damned tired of hearing that sack of shit lie! Stop placing blame on Johnny and painting him out to be the villain when the only villain is Sonny Corinthos. You know, the man you came to Port Charles to take down yet you couldn't even seem to do that right! Do you even comprehend what Johnny's going through right now? His sister just died! Cut him a fucking break, will you? Try to think of someone other than yourself for once in your life." Lulu continues to lay into Dante, her face only getting redder by the minute as her voice rose in octaves that only most dogs could hear.
"Maybe If you're little boyfriend ever did anything right-" Dante started but, got cut off by Lulu slapping him across the face.
"I'm NOT dealing with this, Dante! I need to go back to work, you can go to hell." Lulu scoffed with a shake of her head, stalking out of the courtroom.
"I'm sorry that Lulu was so tough on you, baby." Olivia was quick to dote on her son, earning a bitter chuckle from Johnny.
"Lulu was the only one who was looking out for me, my own girlfriend won't even defend me against her own son. How typical." Johnny shook his head, about ready to attack Dante but knew that wouldn't look good on his part.
"Why don't you marry her, then?" Dante was sarcastic, jealousy dripping from his tone.
"Maybe I will. Have a nice life, assholes." Johnny flipped both Dante and Olivia off before exiting the building and going back to The Penthouse.
"My sister just called me...how are you holding up, mate?* Ethan Lovett calls out, upon his entrance into his home.
"I...don't know how to feel. My sister wouldn't have wanted Michael to go to prison and, I sure as hell don't want that for him. How's Lulu Doing? She was in bad shape when she left the courthouse." As much as Johnny was upset about both Claudia and Michael, he was still really concerned for Lulu.
"The kid doesn't deserve it, that's for sure. My sister actually came over and she's in my room trying to get herself together. Lulu is taking all of this pretty hard, blaming herself for the whole thing. I should have beat Dante's ass harder the night they met.' Ethan was concerned for his sister, as he'd never seen her like this before.
"This whole situation is messed up, she shouldn't have to be dealing with this. It's not fair to Lulu. Why blow up her life if you're not even going to be there for her!" The events of the day were starting to take a toll on Johnny.
"Ugh, I need to go back to work. I didn't even clock out, not that Maxie wouldn't cover for me but that's not the point." Lulu came out of Ethan's room, fanning her face with her hands.
"You don't need to go back to Crimson today, what you need is to decide you're next move because things are about to get really shifty. For all of us." Ethan shut her down, as they all sat on the couch.
"Why don't we just leave for awhile? I think creating some distance would be good. Unless that's a bad thing to do."Lulu was quiet for a minute before speaking her idea out loud, Johnny and Ethan shared a look before slowly nodding.
"Might not be a bad idea." Ethan shrugged.
"Let's do it, the longer we stick around here the more targets we paint on our backs. Besides, we only live once." Johnny agreed with both Spencer's, they all shared a small smile.
