TW: abuse, suicidal thoughts, possible affair

Johnny's POV

"I haven't seen you around that Spencer girl recently." Claudia Zacchara leaned against the doorframe to the living room of Crimson Pointe, as Johnny shrugged his jacket on. Johnny didn't say anything in response, as he grabbed his keys off the piano.

"Can I ask where the hell you're going at least?" Claudia scoffed, her baby brother had been acting distant.

"Out." Johnny's tone was clipped.

"What's with the attitude, John? What is this? I just came back." Claudia was completely clueless as to why he was acting this way.

"You don't know anything about Lulu, stop pretending you do. Lulu hasn't done anything but get me out of this hell hole, which is more than I can say for you. Why are you here? Because it's not for me. If it's the business you want, you won't get a fight from me. At least Lulu's never left me high and dry, I can't say the same for you. You promised that you would stay but, you left without a trace." Johnny had been inside of his head too long, it was driving him crazy. Johnny needed to get out of here, go for a drive or something to distract him from himself.

"John, love isn't for people like you and me. It doesn't exist. John, I love you. I want a relationship with my brother! That's why I'm here! I don't want you throwing everything away for some bitch who can't handle your lifestyle! I know that I left but, I want to make up for that. Why won't you let me?" Claudia shakes her head in anger.

"No, love isn't for you. You have no idea what is and isn't for me, because you don't know me. We're just friends there's nothing wrong with that, not that you'd know anything about having friends. You're all out for yourself. I'm not sure I want a relationship with you. Don't call Lulu a bitch, because she isn't. You hurt me Claudia, you can't blame me for having my guard up. Now if you'll excuse me, I have places to be." Johnny stormed out of the house, promptly heading to his car and speeding out of the driveway. Johnny felt a weight lifted off of him as the house disappeared.

"I wish I had an actual family, I hate feeling like this." Johnny thinks to himself.

Lulu's POV

"Lulu, you can go home now. You were supposed to clock out an hour ago." Georgie Jones voice called me out of my thoughts, I slowly turned towards my friend.

"That's okay, I don't mind staying. Why don't you take off early? I can close." I fought to keep my tone even, as I glanced at Georgie.

"Lulu, you've been closing every night this week. You hate working. What's going on with you? You can talk to me." Georgie had grown worried but, hadn't said anything.

"I'm fine." Lulu lied, the thought of going home made her want to cry.

"Lulu, you are not fine. Now, spit it out! I don't know why you're trying to lie to me, you forget I know you." Georgie crossed her arms over her chest, taking a seat at an empty table.

"It's just...things haven't been going so well with Logan. That's all." Lulu brushed her off.

"Lulu! You told me that you had cut ties with that jerk! I don't get what hold he has over you, he's a horrible person." Georgie didn't know why she was surprised.

"Well I did but, he loves me." Lulu simply shrugged, she didn't even believe those words anymore.

"Lulu, he doesn't love you. Logan is seriously creepy, I am worried about you." Georgie sighed, hoping that nothing happened to her.

"If you want me to leave, I'll leave." Lulu sighs, completely dodging her statement.

"Lulu, you can't keep doing this to yourself. Logan's going to end up killing you..."

Johnny's POV

I continued to drive further down the road completely lost in thought, so much so that I almost didn't see the woman walking down the side of the road. I put the car in park getting out, immediately recognizing who she was.

"Lulu!" I yelled, she immediately turned around.

"We've gotta quit meeting like this." Her voice was hoarse, I took off my jacket and slipped it around her shoulders.

"What are you doing out here without a jacket? It's freezing out. Get in the car." I sighed, guiding her towards the mustang.

"Ow..." Lulu winced as my hand accidentally touched her side.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" I asked, I'd only brushed against her.

"No." Lulu gritted her teeth clearly in pain as she steeled herself against the seat. I got inside and turned the heat on.

"You're in pain, Lu. Who do you think you're talking to? I get shot at least once a week." I glanced at her, an eerie feeling creeping up on me.

"Fine. I'm in pain." Lulu rolled her eyes.

"No shit Sherlock. What happened?" Why was talking to her like pulling teeth sometimes?

"My ribs are broken because I've been working nights at Kelly's and Logan didn't like that. I don't really need a lecture on how bad it is because I know, I'm the one going through it everyday. I guess I have no regard for my safety or something, I don't know." Lulu was clearly going through a lot.

"Want me to kill him?" Johnny raised a brow.

"You're not going to lecture me?" She raised a brow in response.

"What good will that do? You don't listen to anyone. You're...in pain. I understand it. I don't agree with it because I know you deserve better but, it's your life. If you ever need a place, you'll always have one with me." Johnny slipped his hand into hers.

"I don't feel like going home." Was all Lulu said.

"That's all I needed to hear." Johnny began driving to his place away from everyone, the house was hidden among Port Charles in the rural hills.

Logan's POV

"Where the hell is she?" I demanded after Carly finally answered the door.

"Logan, do you have any idea what time it is? I have kids. Can we do this...I don't know, a quarter to never?" Carly sighed, blinking sleep from her eyes.

"Is she in there? I know she is!" I began pushing my way past Carly, knocking her down in the process.

"I would suggest you leave." Jasper Jax's voice sounded from the living room, aiming a gun towards Logan no joking in his tone.

"You shoot me you'll go to prison." Logan smirked, mockingly.

"You forced yourself into my house, you'll be the one getting locked up. I'm just defending my family. Even if Lulu was here, that doesn't give you the right to break into someone's house. Lulu is her own person, you don't own her." Jax was very precise with his words, never taking his gun off of Logan.

"I broke her ribs and she let me, I own her." Logan smirked, Jax fired his gun in response to Logan's statement.
