This might be a little crazy to be doing right now when I have two stories currently not finished but I have run into a mental block on Prodigal Son. Mainly because I am trying to write a nice version of Carly and Sonny and they aren't being nice on the show right now.

This piece is starting with Carly, because I want her to be the cataylst to start the story.

SWITCHING PLACES

Chapter 1

Truth is merely an Illusion.

Carly walked into the Metrocourt steaming; first Sonny had almost died. Why had she jumped in to save the man? Was she that much of a glutton for punishment? Seeing Kate walking in with Maxie and Olivia on either side made her recall what Sonny had said the previously. She had helped the man out at the expense of her own happiness and he had shit on her.

As the elevator closed on Kate she turned to go to her office, seeing Alexis talking to Jax didn't help matters. As she walked closer she could hear the lawyer saying that he had made a mistake with marrying Carly. That she had learned the lesson all those years ago when Carly came back from the dead.

Not wanting to confront her husband she turned and left. Getting into her car she went to the hospital to see Mike. Standing outside she listened to the man talking about how she was still a part of Sonny's life as long as they shared a son together.

Needing to get away from all of them, she went straight to the roof. Seeing the door ajar, she could hear Jason talking to Elizabeth. Listening to them she regretted the damage she had done to them. However if Elizabeth had any brains she would realize that this mob war was worse than anything that had ever came before and run with her boys like Carly should have done years ago.

She heard Jason discussing a fire and realized she had to get out of here. Going back into the hospital she went to retrieve her car parked in front. Picking up the parking ticket from the windshield, she ripped it in half, knowing that Diane just called once a month and paid any tickets she got.

Needing to clear her head, she started to drive. Hearing her phone ringing, she answered when she saw it was Lulu. "Hey sweetie, how are you doing?"

"Not so great, can you meet me at Vista Point. I think I'm in trouble. I can't drive anymore today. I just saw Logan standing by the sign for the park. Please Carly, I'm scared and Johnny isn't answering his phone."

"Stay there, I'm on my way." Wishing she were driving towards any other place than the cliff roads, she slowly and carefully headed to get her young cousin. Just as she was pulling into the parking lot she saw that Johnny had arrived as well.

"Are you okay?" She pulled Lulu aside and asked.

"I will be now. Please don't tell anyone what happened. I will talk to Lainey about it."

"Sure, I have to head home so that I can tuck Morgan into bed. Stop over tomorrow and we will talk, okay?" She asked looking into Lulu's eyes.

Getting into her car, Carly drove off as carefully as before, seeing a dense fog up ahead, she slowed down but still hit another car. Looking through the cracked windshield she saw the vehicle go into the lake just as she lost consciousness.

Two days later

"Carly, come on honey. Wake up for your mother. Michael needs you." Bobbie was getting worried. Seeing Jax walk into the room, she sighed and said "Thank you for saving her. I know things are tense between the two of you right now, but I'm truly grateful."

"You're welcome Bobbie. Now I have a meeting to go to. Please call me if you need anything." He said and walked out the door without a backward glance.

Jason and Elizabeth were making plans for breakfast when he got the call, leaning in he started to kiss the woman he loved and said "I will be back as soon as I find out how she is." Seeing Sonny's number on the cell he showed her its face and made sure he was out the door before grimacing. Sonny was starting to annoy the man and he truly didn't know what to do about it.

"Just meet me at our bench, I will get us the coffee and hot chocolate."

Sonny rolled over, still holding the phone to his ear. When Jason finally answered he said abruptly "Why did I have to hear from Bobbie that Carly was in an accident. Why didn't you let me know immediately?"

The classy woman sleeping next to him woke up in time to hear his question, tensing she wrapped the sheet around her and got out of bed. Feeling Sonny grab her arm she twisted her way out of his hold and went to shower regretting her lapse in judgment already.

"Why aren't you still in bed?" He asked as he joined her in the kitchen.

"The call you just made. I refuse to stand second to Carly in your life. So this is me exiting it for the last time. Go find another playmate, one who won't care about taking second place to that shrew."

Sonny tossed the kitchen as she took her suitcase with what clothes she had at his place and left. Frustrated, horny and more than a little angry with both Jason and Carly. Jason was constantly at Elizabeth's beck and call and Carly just couldn't stay out of trouble. His life had enough complications with his sibling trying to stab him in the back, he knew better than to trust anyone with his blood flowing through their veins.

Walking into the hotel fifteen minutes later, he saw the perfect way to pass the time. "Do you have some free time?" He asked knowing she would say yes.

"Sure." She said. Twenty minutes later, Sonny turned to the brunette and said I would have never guessed you were that athletic, shame I missed that last time. You are quite the little handful Sam.

Sonny handed her five hundred dollars and said "You may go now."

Sam hadn't felt this cheap in a long time, throwing the money back at the mobster she said "You will pay for that."

"I thought I just did. Do you want more money, is that it?" Going to his wallet, Sonny pulled out five hundred more dollars and gathering the money she had thrown down, placed it in her hand and walked her to the door. Shutting it in her face.

Picking up the phone he checked the time, knowing that Bobbie would be with Carly at GH, he called the nanny to talk to his son. After ten minutes he hung up and went to shower. As he returned to the bedroom, Sonny saw something on the floor next to the bed. Worried he picked it up and groaned when he saw what it was. An unopened condom.

Elizabeth circled around Lucky arguing with his rather rumbled girlfriend, regretting ever accepting his apologies. Listening to the two of them as she snuck down to the bench, she was glad they left; thinking that Lucky was a tool. The woman was a former hooker; she had to know what Lucky had been doing. Elizabeth could not help wondering where the Lucky she had once known had gone.

Hearing footsteps she saw one of Sonny's guards standing at the edge of the pier. He turned and greeted her saying Jason wanted him to carefully let her know he was on the way. Nodding, he left to go and meet Sonny's attorney. He was hoping she had time for dinner now that she was home.

Jason walked down the stairs a few minutes later, feeling like he was being watched. Not seeing anyone, he hesitated then joined Elizabeth. As they sat there drinking their breakfast and sharing Elizabeth's chocolate chip muffin, Jason asked her to be careful.

"Things are dangerous right now. I want you to consider moving someplace safer."

"Are we in danger?" She asked fearfully thinking of her small family.

"I don't know. Something just feels off. Carly's accident for one. The fire at the warehouse. Just promise me that you will be careful."

Bobbie thanked Dr. Quartermaine and went to relive an annoyed Maxie who she had asked to sit with Carly. "I only did it for you, Aunt Bobbie. I have to go. See you tomorrow."

Turning to her daughter, she said to the sleeping blond. "Carly, you need to wake up, we are very worried about you. You took quite a hit on the head."

The blond felt like she was swimming through quicksand, finally trying to open her eyes, the lights bothered her when she saw the shadow with red hair standing over her. "Please turn off the lights, my head hurts." She whimpered. "Where is Jax?" She asked hoping her husband was nearby, she really needed to talk to him.

"He left sweetie. Do you want me to call Sonny?" Bobbie asked hoping she would say no. That particular twosome had been rather toxic since they meet, but if her daughter wanted Sonny she would call the man.

"I need to talk to my husband. I need to stop this divorce, please Momma. I love him so much." She pleaded with her.

"I will call his cell phone, but Sonny said he was going to be out of reach for a couple of days. Maybe Jason can locate him."

"I don't want to talk to Jason, and I really don't want to talk to Sonny, please get Jax. I need to talk to my husband."

Bobbie didn't know what was going on but was grateful when Monica entered the room do to the beeping of Carly's heart machine.

"Let's just take a listen to your heart." She said with cold efficiency. She had truly never forgiven this woman for the damage she had done to her family and it looked like it was starting up again.

Finally telling Carly that her blood pressure was a little high, she told Bobbie to call Sonny if that was what Carly wanted.

The blond lying in the bed screamed in frustration getting the attention of the two nurses and the Jones girl who had been in the hall waiting on her relative. "I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO SONNY, I WOULD STAB THAT JERK MYSELF IF HE WALKED IN HERE. I SHOULD HAVE SHOT HIM MYSELF WHEN WE FOUND OUT MICHAEL WAS IN A PERMANANT COMA."

The audience to her temper tantrum was stunned, but let her continue. 'MOMMA, I WANT TO TALK TO JAX. I KNOW HE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME RIGHT NOW, BUT PLEASE I NEED TO TELL HIM I LOVE HIM AND THAT I WANT TO MAKE OUR MARRIAGE TO WORK, I WANT TO TRY FOR ANOTHER BABY, PLEASE MOMMA FIND MY HUSBAND, FIND JAX."

The frozen tableau finally moved when the neurologist entered the room and shooed everyone away, turning to Bobbie he said "There seems to be some sort of damage to her brain. If I didn't know better I would swear she had been shot in the head at some point in the last few years, the injury from the accident ruptured some damaged stems."

Carly looked at the doctor and knew she had to be dreaming, that this was just a nightmare, why else would Tony Jones be standing over her in a doctors white coat and treating her as a patient.

The medical personnel looked at one another confused as to what was going on. Tony called Gail and asked her to stop down. The elderly one entered and said to Carly "My dear, I understand there seems to be some confusion going on. Let's start with something simple. What is your name?

"Carly, Caroline Jacks." Carly couldn't figure out why everyone kept looking at her like that, then realized they didn't know that this was just a dream, it had to be, Tony was dead, Gail retired. Bobbie and Monica hadn't get had plastic surgery.

"Carly what is today's date?

"November 14th, 2008." she said with a smirk.

The doctor looked at the patients mother and said "We might have a problem, Carly today is May 15, 2002"

She went over and whispered to Bobbie, get Sonny here now. We need his help. Also Michael if it's possible, if she sees he is fine it might snap her out of whatever is causing this."

Carly knew that this was just like what happened when Sonny shot her, but this time she had gone back to when Michael was healthy, that was all. This time she wouldn't let it ruin her marriage. Not that her marriage to Sonny had been too good when she started dreaming about Lorenzo but this time she would hold onto Jax. She would not lose this husband. No way, no matter what."
