When
Alexis returned home later that day she found Carly lurking outside
Sonny’s penthouse. Alexis could tell that Carly was up to something,
as she began smiling and being all friendly towards her all of the
sudden.
Carly: “Alexis! I’m so glad that you’re home! I really
need to talk to you about something…Could we talk together
in here?” she asked pointing to PH4.
Alexis: “Sure…” She sighed with a smile feeling a
bit tired due to the effect the biopsy had had on her. Alexis followed
Carly into PH4.
Carly: “I know what you want Alexis!” She suddenly exclaimed
turning her suspicious eyes on Alexis, who was standing in front
of Sonny’s desk not knowing what to make of Carly’s behavior.
Alexis: “Come again?”
Carly: “I know what you’ve wanted ever since Sonny gave
you Jason’s old place to move into. You simply waited for us
to break up, and then you made up these stupid excuses to come and
see MY HUSBAND!!”
Alexis: “Ex-husband!” She corrected her.
Carly: “Not for long – no matter what silly ideas you’ve
put in Sonny’s head then he’ll ultimately be mine –
you got that? He won’t come over to you, and declare his undying
love for you! Sonny is mine, and that’s how it’ll be for
the rest of our lives together as husband and wife.”
Alexis: “Why are you telling me this? Why aren’t you telling
Sonny? Or have you done something again to make him doubt you? That’s
it isn’t it?” She replied when Carly’s expression
gave her away.
Carly: “My relationship with my husband is none of your goddamn
business, lady!”
Alexis: “Really? You made it my business when you left Sonny
heartbroken after having turned him into the Fed’s. How exactly
will he ever be capable of forgiving you for that Carly? You showed
Sonny what you were really made of.”
Carly: “He’ll forgive me – he always does. All we
need is some time together, which you’ll give us or else…”
Alexis: “Or else what? Huh? You’re going to push me? Whoops…You
already did that didn’t you?” She replied sarcastically.
Carly: “I didn’t push you, and we both know it!”
Alexis: “You had it all planned, right? You were going to grab
me so hard that you’d know that I’d have no other choice
than to yank away, and then you let go right in the minute I put
all my weight in pushing away from you – isn’t that right?”
Carly: “That was an accident, alright? I just want you to promise
me that you won’t stand in my way. If you do that then everything’s
fine!”
Alexis: “You know what Carly? Sonny Corinthos and I are finished!
I don’t want him anywhere near me or any members of my family.
So if you think that you can make him happy – go ahead and
try! Just like Brenda and Lily tried!”
Carly: “What’s that supposed to mean? And why are you
giving up so easily? Before when you used to do your legal work
in this penthouse – I could never get you to leave before –
but now all of the sudden you’re volunteering to stay out of
Sonny’s life? Why is that?”
Alexis: “I’ve got more important things to worry about
than your precious EX-HUSBAND Carly!! I’m actually relieved
that you’re going to be back in his life because then I’ll
be free of him…” She replied lying through her teeth.
Carly: “Nah, it doesn’t add up! You were blissfully happy
when you FINALLY got Sonny into bed with you, and what? Now you’re
just going to let him go – just like that?” She asked
going back in time to when she’d overheard Sonny and Alexis
in bed talking.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Alexis: “Do you remember when you saved my life?”
Sonny: “Yeah.”
Alexis: “I remember kneeling beside you in the snow, thinking
how furious I would be if you died.”
Sonny: “I'm glad I didn't. Think of all I would've missed.”
*** FLASHBACK ***
Alexis: “It didn’t mean a thing!” She replied walking
to the fireplace where she tried to gather more strength to stand
up to Carly.
Carly: “That’s a damn lie. You must be protecting someone
or something from Sonny – you’re scared of Sonny’s
role in something. What? Oh my God!”
Alexis: “What now?” She asked turning around.
Carly: “You’re pregnant aren’t you? It would certainly
explain why you fainted the other night at ‘Kelly’s’.
And also why Jax and Kristina have been so protective of you lately.”
Alexis: “1) I fainted because you let me go so that I hit my
head on the coffee table, and then the ground and 2) Jax and Kristina
are family, and they’ve always and will always be protective
of me. Sorry to burst your bubble Carly!”
Carly: “You’re afraid of Sonny claiming paternity of your
baby aren’t you? You’re going to keep this baby’s
paternity a secret from Sonny, aren’t you?”
Alexis: “I’m NOT pregnant! How many times do I have to
tell you that?”
Carly: “Cut the crap Alexis! You’re pregnant with Sonny’s
child, and you have no intention of telling him do you?”
Alexis: “Fine! You want the truth? I am pregnant, and yes it’s
Sonny’s baby, and yes I have no intention of telling him that,
and I swear to God if you tell him…”
Carly: “I would be digging my marriage’s own grave by
telling Sonny that you’re pregnant with his child! Why don’t
you want Sonny to know Alexis? You spent all that time getting into
his bed, and now that you’ve got what you wanted all along
– you’re backing out!”
Alexis: “Don’t talk like that about my baby!!” She
warned walking up to Carly.
Carly: “Why not? Hit a nerve? You’re nothing more than
common trash just like your mother!! She slept with Mikkos Cassadine,
didn’t she? Just like you slept with Sonny – and she got
pregnant too – just like you have! Like mother like daughter!
Let’s just hope that your baby inherits all her traits from
her father!” She exclaimed, as Alexis’s cheeks were over
flooded with tears.
Alexis: “Go to hell!” She exclaimed running out of the
penthouse, and to the elevator where she frantically pushed on the
button. When the doors opened Kristina stepped out, worried to see
her sister in such a state of uncertainty.
Kristina: “Alexis? What’s wrong? Alexis?” She asked,
as Alexis simply got into the elevator and rode down with it, as
Kristina stood on the penthouse floor not knowing what to do next.
When Kristina looked in the direction of PH4 she immediately spotted
Carly, who stood gleefully thinking that she’d won. Kristina
immediately went in the direction of PH4, and closed the door shut
after she’d entered.
Kristina: “Who the hell do you think you are to treat my sister
like that?!” She yelled in Carly’s face after having had
enough of Carly Corinthos.
Carly: “Who do you think you are to just barge into my house
like you own it?”
Kristina: “When you disrespect my sister like that it becomes
my right! What did you do this time around Carly?”
Carly: “You say that I’ve disrespected her? You don’t
think it’s the other way around? She goes to bed with MY HUSBAND
in MY BED, and she’s the innocent one?”
Kristina: “Didn’t you sleep with your mother’s husband
once? Tony Jones? And your son ended up paying the price, right?
Tony kidnapped Michael because of all the games you’d played!
That’s what’s so irritating about you Carly – you
scheme to get your way. Most people only scheme in business, but
you do it personally too. How exactly do you think Sonny will feel
about how you’ve just treated Alexis? His friend?”
Carly: “You want to talk about a schemer? Then look at your
dear sister, alright? She’s the one, who’s keeping a big
secret from Sonny! She’s pregnant with his baby, and has no
intention of telling him.”
Kristina: “Alexis told you that?”
Carly: “She didn’t have to! It’s written all over
her face. Any mother can see when another mother is trying to protect
her child.”
Kristina: “Another mother? How would you even know the meaning
of that word? You ship Michael off to another country as soon as
Sonny tells you so. You instruct Leticia to take care of him before
and after school! You shouldn’t even be able to have kids Carly
because you’re a bad influence on them, and on every single
child you’re going to come into contact with in the future.”
Carly: “So you’re gloating because of the fact that I
can’t have children? Because I can’t give Sonny what he
desires the most? Don’t you think that it breaks my heart to
know that, that dimwit of a sister of yours can give MY HUSBAND
what only I should be allowed to give him?”
Kristina: “Don’t you dare call my sister a dimwit –
she’s a hell of a lot more courageous than you! At least she
can take care of herself – can you say the same thing about
yourself Carly? Sonny provides for you, and if it hadn’t been
for Jax and his unselfish behavior you wouldn’t even have a
place to call your own.”
Carly: “’Club 101’ is just as much mine, as it is
Jax’s. We built it together, and we’re managing it together.
And what about you? Taking over Ned Ashton a year after Alexis dumped
his sorry ass at the altar?”
Kristina: “I happen to love Ned, Carly! And as far as Jax goes:
he just wanted to be able to put something over Sonny! Jax wanted
to give you a chance out of Sonny’s life, but you’re still
in it aren’t you? What will it take for you to get the message?
Sonny doesn’t love you Carly!”
Carly: “Really? And what makes you say that?”
Kristina: “Maybe the fact that he spent a whole night with
Alexis the day she was released from the hospital, AND he made her
breakfast too…”
Carly: “And how would you know this?”
Sonny: “Because I told her!” He exclaimed entering PH4
drawing a surprised look from Carly, who hadn’t expected him
to come home. Kristina just stood gleefully in front of Carly with
a smirk on her face that most definitely said ‘told ya’.
Somehow Alexis had ended up on the bluff where Carly had supposedly
driven out from a few weeks back. She didn’t know why her mind
had thought she should end up here, but it had a specific symbolic.
The thought had crossed her mind several times: wouldn’t it
be a lot easier just to end it all right now? No more tests, no
more pity and no more questions surrounding her condition. But she
knew that she couldn’t do that because she had a lot of family
and friends, who were counting on her getting through this ordeal.
She didn’t want to disappoint them or to bring any more pain
to their lives, but some days were a lot harder than others. The
easy way would be to just climb over the fence, and let it all go:
the worries, the pain, the memories – but she knew she couldn’t
do that – she had way too much to lose. She wouldn’t be
the only one she’d be cheating out of experiences – she’d
take her baby with her, and she couldn’t do that.
Alexis: “BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE MY LIFE WORK? I CAN’T
BE HONEST WITH THE MAN I SO DESPERATELY LOVE, AND IF I AM HONEST
WITH HIM I’LL END UP RUINING HIS LIFE!!” She screamed
falling down onto her knees in the wet grass.
“Whisper”, performed by Evanescence
Catch me as I fall
Say you’re here and it’s all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one’s here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
Chorus:
Don’t turn away
Don’t give in to the pain
Don’t try to hide
Though they’re screaming your name
Don’t close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don’t turn out the light
Never sleep never die
I’m frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there’s much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
(Chorus)
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I’ve fallen for I rise to meet the end
