The
silence in the room was so thick that you could reach out and touch
it. Everyone were staring at Sonny wondering what the notorious
mobster would do to Ned after having slandered the mother of Sonny’s
child in public.
Alexis: “Jax…Will you help me with Ned, please?”
She asked getting up from the chair.
Jax: “Sure!” He exclaimed, as he and Alexis walked onto
the stage, and escorted Ned behind the stage.
Ned: “I can walk by myself, all right?!”
Jax: “Really? Could have fooled me! What the hell are you doing
Ned? You do know that Sonny won’t let this one go – don’t
you?”
Ned: “I can handle Sonny, OK?”
Alexis: ”Here you go, sit down!” She exclaimed, as Ned
took a seat on a chair before accepting a cup of coffee from Alexis.
Jax: “What are you going to do?”
Alexis: “Call a cab?” She suggested knowing very well
that Jax’s question didn’t concern Ned’s behavior.
Jax: “About Sonny!”
Alexis: “I don’t know…What’s done is done! Sonny
is alive, and that’s actually a good thing for Kristina.”
Jax: “Is it just me or hasn’t Kristina dealt with Sonny’s
‘death’ pretty well? I mean, today you couldn’t even
see that she’d lost a parent.”
Alexis: “Your point being?”
Jax: “I think that Sonny made contact with Kristina before
tonight! Before this supposed death of Sonny’s, Kristina’s
entire world evolved around Sonny!”
Alexis: “Kids are like that Jax! They adjust to the world they
live in! Kristina probably just realized that there wasn’t
anything she could do about the situation she’d been put in.”
Jax: “Where have Michael and Morgan been all this time?”
Alexis: “Carly didn’t want them subjected to Sonny’s
death, so she sent them off with Leticia to the island.”
Jax: “Excuse me, but wasn’t that where Sonny sent Michael
back in September of 2002 when Brenda came out of hiding, and Sonny
had faked his own death?”
Alexis: “So…Are you saying that Sonny made contact with
Kristina prior to tonight, and that Kristina has kept this from
me – ever since?”
Jax: “Is it so unbelievable that Sonny could get Kristina to
do this? Kristina worships her father, and if he gave her an idea
that you would be happy about this, I really don’t see why
she wouldn’t have gone along with it.”
Ned: “I for one agree with Jax!”
Alexis: “Who asked you??” She replied angrily not being
able to comprehend all of this.
Jax: “Why don’t you just confront Sonny? You need to talk
to him about what’s just happened, and more importantly to
make sure that nothing happens to Ned!”
Alexis: “I know, and you’re right! I just don’t know
if…” She stopped in mid-sentence, as Sonny joined the
threesome.
Sonny: “Can we talk?”
Ned: “Alexis has nothing to say to you, Corinthos!” He
exclaimed, getting up from the chair barely able to stand up by
himself.
Jax: “I’ll take him outside, and call that cab! You’ll
be OK?”
Alexis: “Yeah, I’ll be fine!” She replied smiling,
as Jax helped Ned outside leaving Sonny and Alexis alone to talk.
Sonny: “You OK?” He asked not knowing exactly what to
say.
Alexis: “You’re asking me if I’m OK?”
Sonny: “Yeah, I mean, you’ve been under a lot of stress
lately, and I don’t want you to think that I haven’t thought
about you.”
Alexis: “Where have you been? In Port Charles?”
Sonny: “Kristina looks beautiful, huh?” He asked not wanting
to answer her question.
Alexis: “Oh my God! You’ve been in Port Charles this entire
time, not even thinking of giving me a call to let me know that
you were all right!”
Sonny: “I couldn’t take that risk! They might have your
phone bugged!”
Alexis: “Who are ‘they’? We have a daughter together
Sonny! She was without a father for some time, and then she got
you, and then you just erased your presence in her life by staging
your own death! How do you think this has influenced her?”
Sonny: “Kristina is fine! I made sure of that before coming
here tonight!!” He yelled not feeling that Alexis was letting
him explain.
Alexis: “Come again? You went to Kristina, and you told her
that you were alive? You went to my house?”
Sonny: “I needed to make sure that she was OK! This is how
I live Alexis! I couldn’t tell you the truth because then I’d
be putting you in danger, and I didn’t want that!”
Alexis: “Don’t you think that I’ve been in danger
ever since I agreed to represent you? Or ever since we got shared
custody?”
Sonny: “I’d have to put my bodyguards on you…”
Alexis: “Then what do you call Johnny: a trained puddle?!”
She yelled noticing how little by little she was losing control
over the situation.
Sonny: “…In a safe house! All right: I did come to your
house, and I did tell Kristina that I was alive. And if it hadn’t
been for Dr. Feel Good then I’d probably have told you too…”
Alexis: “What does Cameron have to do with any of this?”
Sonny: “After I’d told Kristina, I went outside, and looked
into the livingroom where I found Dr. Feel Good placing a ring on
your finger.”
Alexis: “You’re using this as an excuse for what you’ve
done?”
Sonny: “Are you engaged now?” He asked feeling the sting
of jealousy.
Alexis: “And what if we were? I haven’t been with you
for 8 years now Sonny! You’re a happily married man –
remember? You have two children with Carly!”
Sonny: “Just tell me!”
Alexis: “No, we’re not engaged! But seeing how you’ve
been behaving towards me, I just might consider saying ‘I do’!”
Sonny: “Not when it involves my daughter, you won’t!”
Alexis: “The thing is Sonny, Kristina has actually warmed up
to Cameron lately! This of course happened after you made your presence
known to her, but still she adores Cameron. Even if you had stayed
dead, she would have grown to like him, and who knows: maybe one
day she’ll call him ‘daddy’!”
Sonny: “I understand that you’re angry right now, but…”
Alexis: “Anger has got nothing to do with this! As far as I’m
concerned you don’t exist! Expect a call from my lawyer!”
Sonny: “You’re NOT separating me from my daughter!”
Alexis: “Watch me!” She exclaimed, as she walked away
from him knowing that if she didn’t get some air, she’d
suffocate.
Sonny: “DAMMIT!” He exclaimed kicking the chair Ned had
been sitting on to relieve some of his frustration.
‘Tomorrow’, performed by Avril Lavigne
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it’ll be OK
Yeah, I try to believe you
But I don’t
When you say that it’s gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today…
Chorus:
I don’t know how I’ll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don’t know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
It’s always been up to you
It’s turning around
It’s up to me
I’m gonna do what I have to do
Just don’t
Gimme a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it’s not too late
Not today, today, today, today, today
(Chorus)
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, and I know I’m not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, maybe tomorrow
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, and I know I’m not ready
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, maybe tomorrow
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it’ll be OK
Yeah, I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
