After that night seeing Jason with his son Jake and all that he had sacrificed for his family, I longed for my father and him to fight just for me. I was sitting that night watching tv in the den when an emergency new report came on at about 9:30 pm. I saw my father's picture blasted on the screen once again and the charges that we're being filed were reported. Apparently this time, men were found dead on his pier and an eyewitness placed him at the crime scene. I watched until my mother came into the room and turned off the television. She came over to me, hugging me and telling me "everything's going to be ok."
My dad made headlines in the paper once again, and to my surprise, it said that Sonny Corinthos had walked out of the precinct a free man after it turned out that evidence had come to light proving my father had not been where the crime had been committed. I found myself doing a sigh of relief that surprised me so much that I spilled my orange juice all over my pants. I sighed again and went to change upstairs before leaving to visit my brothers.
I left for the Jack's home in my car and when I got there, Carly opened the door with Josslyn in her arms. I said hello and asked for my brothers and she told me that Morgan was actually at a Yankees game with Dante, but Michael was home. She let me step in and I gladly walked up the stairs to my brother's room. I knocked on the door and walked in, finding my brother sitting at his desk with the computer. I saw right from where I was standing in the door frame that a picture of my father was on the screen and I said "Well, I guess you heard then." He replied "Yeah, I saw last night and just got back actually. I spent the night at Dad's and saw him this morning. He's doing ok, but for once he was innocent." I asked how he was so sure and he told me "Spinelli." I told Michael to tell Dad I said hi, but I had to go. Running out to my car, I only thought of one person to talk to.
I walked up to his door and knocked, but when no one answered after a minute I decided to leave. I was about to get into my car when the door flung open and I saw Elizabeth step outside. I called out to her and she told me to come on in. I walked into the house, wondering where Jason was, but instead saw the whole living room wall covered with magic marker. I laughed and she said "Don't encourage them!" I looked around and my eyes traveled to behind the couch where I saw Jake and Cameron hiding with these looks on their faces that I couldn't resist stifling a giggle. Elizabeth went behind the couch and grabbed the boys with each of her hands. She bent down to their eye level and said "Cam and Jake, Mommy said no coloring on the walls and it was naughty." Cam and Jake said sorry in unison and then Elizabeth sent them up the stairs. I finally asked "Where is Jason?" when she got back down and she replied at work. I nodded my head, slightly disappointed but I told her I had to go and left.
I went to the restaurant figuring this is what Elizabeth meant by work and I knew I was right when I heard yelling from the office. I walked up to the door and told Max that I needed to see Jason right now. He told me to take a seat and wait a couple of minutes. I sat in a booth and took out my phone where I saw I had 17 new texts fro Kiefer, which I choose to ignore. My head looked up when Jason stepped out of the office, cursing under his breath, but when he saw me, he stopped. He asked "What was I doing the there?" and I said "Information." He let me into the office and I sat in the seat across from the desk while he sat in the big, hard, uncomfortable-looking chair behind it. I asked "What happened with my father?" and he explained. Jason said "Luc Julien was found dead on the pier last night and the last one that saw him placed Luc with your father. The police arrested Sonny, but someone said Sonny was with him during the shooting." I asked "Who?" and Jason shocked me by saying "Dante."
I left the restaurant and was on my way home when I decided to stop at Kelly's to see Grandpa and get myself a nice mint hot chocolate. I walked into the warm, friendly atmosphere of Kelly's and 20 minutes later, I walked out into the cold, harsh world. Kiefer was outside waiting for me and he dragged me to the docks. He asked "Where I had been?" and I replied "Seeing Jason." He went off about my mobster friends and how stupid I was for getting caught with those heartless bastards and I exploded. I yelled "My father is one of those people and he loves me." I knew I shouldn't have yelled at Kiefer and I regretted it when he struck me in the face. My bruises from last week still hadn't healed from last week and it hurt more than usual. He only struck me twice in the face because by the second strike, I was already on the ground crying and holding my face. He said "If your daddy loves you, then why isn't he around." He left me on the ground, crying and in pain wondering the same thing.
