Lulu had gotten into a fight with Johnny last night over whatever stupid thing his sister had said, honestly she couldn't recall exactly what was said.

"You know, maybe it's time you and Johnny took a break. Maybe being with him is just too much for you." Carly Corithos-Jacks crossed her arms, meeting her cousin for coffee at Kelly's.

"We have one fight and everyone says we should break up! Carly, Johnny is good for me and that's all I'm going to say on the subject! How about how many times you've come and went with Sonny? You're being a hypocrite." Lulu rolled her eyes, quickly standing from her chair and stalking out of Kelly's without her coffee.

"I'm not going to work today, it's not like I'm needed anyway. I don't know why Kate even keeps me around, nothing I say or do ever fucking matters anyway." Lulu mutters to herself, sitting down on the bench with a sigh.

"Now, why would you say a stupid thing like that?"Johnny Zacchara's voice came from behind her.

"Because it's true? I thought you were mad at me." Lulu wasn't sure she was going to forgive him yet.

Clearly, you're still mad. I'm just on edge, okay? I know it's not an excuse, I shouldn't have blown up on you when Claudia started the fight in the first place." Johnny sighed, knowing that he'd been in the wrong.

"Johnny, are you miserable with me? Do I not make you happy? Because just tell me and I will gracefully bow out." Lulu had felt like this for a while, Claudia being in Port Charles had changed everything between them.

"I'm not miserable with you, not in the least. You're the one thing that makes my life worth living, you make me a better person. You know, I love you. I don't want to lose you, or be with anyone else. Especially Maxie. I know that everything has changed since my sister got to town but, I'm going to be better. I promise." Johnny sighed, sitting down next to her and cupping her face.

"Everyone is against us...truly. Carly was just in Kelly's telling me I should just break it off, she's such a fucking hypocrite. Carly and Sonny have been married three different times, she's married to Jax and still can't leave Sonny alone. I don't need people lecturing me about my own damn life, it's getting annoying. It's also getting annoying to keep having these run in's with Logan considering he's NOT my boyfriend anymore. Get another hobby, dude. It's not your fault, I understand that family can be tough to deal with. Wait...did you just say that you loved me?" Lulu was in a blur of emotions but, it shocked her to hear those three words considering the two hadn't been together that long.

"I don't know why everyone has to be in our business, just let us be happy because that's what you make me. I'd like to think I make you feel the same way. I know, but I shouldn't focus so much on what my family wants because I know what I want. As much as I love my sister, it's not worth losing you. I didn't start living until the night I picked you up. Yeah, because I do. I know it's still early in our relationship but, you need to know how I feel about you. We both spent so much time having to gusse about how the other felt, there was so much uncertainty surrounding us. I want us to know how we feel." It was true, Johnny did love her with everything in him.

"You do make me happy, more than you could ever imagine. I haven't been this happy in...ever. I don't think we'll ever lose each other, we have been through too much to just forget each other. Yeah, Logan followed me home last night...it really creeped me out. I...love you too. I'm glad that we both know what we want, it seems like it took forevermore but I don't just want you...I need you." Lulu was touched at his words as she stared into his eyes.

"Wait what? That prick followed you home?? Why didn't you call me? Lu, Hayes is getting dangerous and I'm not going to let him do something to you. You need to call me if something like that happens again, or at the very least one of your brothers. This shouldn't be happening." Johnny was pissed.

"Well, we were fighting and I didn't want to bother you." Lulu shrugged.

"Somebody needs to do something about Hayes, before I do. Next time, bother me. I don't care how mad we are at each other, it's not worth something bad happening to you." Johnny sighed, pulling her into a hug.

"I know, I know. I should have called you. I'm just...so sick of life, you know?" Lulu sighed into his chest.

"We can change that...my uncle Rudy lives in Italy. I think it's time that I went up to see him, my family can't say anything because it's my uncle. Come with me." Johnny had been thinking of this for awhile, Port Charles was getting old really fast.

"You know, that doesn't sound bad. I've never even been out of state, let alone another country. My parents went on all of these adventures all around the world, I think I owe it to them to do the same with the person I love." Lulu smiled up at him, feeling the best she had in a long time.
