Chapter 11: Turning Point
Lizzie walked to the counter to greet Sally Corinthos.
Lizzie: Anything I can get you?
Sally: Well, could you tell me if you have seen him anywhere?
Sally held out a picture of Henry.
Lizzie: Hmm… he looks a little familiar but... no, I don't think I've seen him
anywhere around here.
Sally: Are you sure?
Lizzie: *nods* Yes.
Sally: Okay, thanks.
Sally Corinthos left Kelly's and Ruby came up behind her.
Ruby: What did she want?
Lizzie: Oh, nothing important.
Lizzie went in back where Henry was holding the knob to the backdoor.
Henry: Everything okay?
Lizzie: Yeah, your mom's gone... but she's flashing around a really ugly picture
of you though.
Henry: Wait, am I wearing a red T-shirt in this picture.
Lizzie: Yes.
Henry: ARG! She's just doing this to spite me.
Lizzie: Well, after this, Corinthos, you owe me big.
Henry: No problem.
Lizzie starts putting some dishes into the sink and looks to him.
Lizzie: You wouldn't happen to be related to Sonny Corinthos?
Henry: Who?
Lizzie: He's sort of a mobster in Port Charles.
Henry: Well, who knows, we maybe distant relative but hey, he could even be my
Uncle and I wouldn't know.
Lizzie: Why would you say that?
Henry: I never got to see my mother's family... or my father's family for that
matter.
Lizzie: What, didn't your parents like their parents or something? Although, I
could identify with that problem.
Henry: My mom ran away when she was 16 and lost track of whoever was in her
family and my father, whoever he is, is happily married to his wife of at least
18 years. Is that enough information for you?
Lizzie: Sorry.
Henry: Don't be... I hardly think about it.
Lizzie: Have you ever tried to find your father?
Henry: One time, I was interested in knowing, but my mom told me that if I still
wanted to find him when I was old enough to move out, then I could find him, but
as long as I'm not, then I wasn't going to find out. She's always been
completely honest with me, but it does get a little depressing knowing what you
probably don't want to know.
Lizzie: Like what?
Henry: Well, it wasn't exactly easy on me knowing that I came from a fling
between an insecure woman and some married guy. She's a lot more secure now… she
had a big fight with my dad and that's why she never tells me anything about
him. Again with the too much honesty.
They were both silent for awhile.
Lizzie: Is that why you run away?
Henry: Huh?
Lizzie: Your father? She said when you were old enough to be on your own you
could find out yourself.
Henry: Could be... it'll take years of therapy though to figure out for sure…
Wow, this is strange.
Lizzie: What?
Henry: I just feel like I can say anything to you.
Lizzie: Yeah, I kind of feel that way too.
Ruby walked in.
Ruby: Henry, Table 4 is still waiting for their check.
Henry: Oh, I completely forgot!
Ruby: Well, just be sure you don't anymore.
Ruby walked back out, Henry followed her.
~^~
Carly: Tony, hi. AJ and I were just talking.
Tony: Is that why you were in his arms?
AJ: I'll just leave you two alone.
AJ walked to his apartment and Carly into theirs. Tony followed her and shut the
door.
Tony: Carly, why were you two like that?
Carly: Tony, we were just... it was a friend hug, it wasn't anything more than
that.
Tony: Well that sure in hell wasn't what it looked like to me. Carly… are you
and AJ having an affair?
Carly: What? Tony, what kind of question is that? Of course not.
Tony: Don't lie to me.
Carly: Tony, I'm not lying. I love you. I would never have an affair with AJ.
Tony: What about all the time you two have been spending together lately?
Carly: A.J's my friend, my only friend. Why wouldn't I spend time with him?
Tony: You know what... you're right, I'm sorry for making the wrong assumption
like that.
Carly: Well, don't let it happen again, it hurts me to know you could think I
could do something like that to you.
Tony: I'm sorry.
Carly: It's okay. It's... it's actually kinda flattering. *Laughs*
Tony: I'm just going to go change, we'll go out for dinner tonight.
Carly: Okay, thanks.
Carly smiled up to the point where Tony closed the bedroom door. Then it faded
away and she turned around. She couldn't let Tony find out.

Bobbie walked into Stefan's office where he was sitting at his desk.
Stefan: What took you so long?
Bobbie: I had to stop to talk to someone, what do you want Stefan?
Stefan: *gets up* I would like to... (Whispers) apologize.
Bobbie: What?
Stefan: Apologize, I would like to apologize. I am sorry about the way I behaved
as your husband. I now understand why you could have suspicions about me
considering how I lied to you and used you. I am sorry for using you.
Bobbie: Uh-huh, and what brought this on?
Stefan: I decided it was time I behaved like a mature adult and admit that I was
wrong.
Bobbie: Who are you and what where have you put real Stefan? Are you sure it's
secure enough?
Stefan: Do not make fun of me, I am making an apology here, take it or leave it.
Bobbie: Oh, all right. I can't promise you complete forgiveness, but I'll try.
Bobbie and Stefan shook hands. Stefan was escorting her out.
Stefan: I hope that someday we could become good friends.
Bobbie: (looks to him) Right.
Then Bobbie tripped and almost fell over, but Stefan as able to stop her from
falling. He pulled her up and kept his arms around her until she could regain
her balance.
Stefan: Are you okay?
Katherine opened the door and looked at them.
Bobbie: Yes.
Stefan: Good.
He let Bobbie go and she stepped back.
Stefan: So I trust I will be seeing you Friday night.
Katherine closed the door.
Bobbie: Why?
Stefan: There is supposed to be some sort of social gathering for the nurses.
Bobbie: Oh, I completely forgot. You're going to be there.
Stefan: Of course, I am the CEO.
Bobbie: Well, yeah, but... (She decided not to get into that) I have to get back
to work.
Stefan: Bye.
Bobbie walked out and Stefan went back to his paperwork.
~^~
Katherine burst into her Penthouse and was ready to go on a rampage. How could
he go back to his ex-wife? She didn't seem to think something like that could be
considered normal. She wanted to tear her place apart but something held her
back. All this anger was rising inside of her. She wanted to get revenge on him
for cheating on her and not even telling her he was going back to his wife.
She wanted to make sure whatever this date was on Friday was not going to
happen.
~^~
Tony drove the car as Carly started to fall asleep in the passenger's seat. He
guessed she had a pretty tiring day.
Tony: Honey, do you want to just go home?
Carly didn't answer. He took it as a yes. He didn't want her face to fall into
her food when she fell asleep.
The sun had just set and it was already dark out. He looked at the mother of his
child and the feeling about AJ and Carly was still with him.
~-~-~-~
Carly felt AJ kissing her on her neck, his arms wrapped around her. She was in
Jason's room at Jake's. She turned around and started unbuttoning his shirt as
they kissed. He almost ripped it off. Then she lay down on the bed and AJ was on
top of her, kissing her.
~-~-~-~
Carly: (whispering) Oh AJ…
Tony looked at her. He could not believe what he just heard. Then he could feel
the car moving to the left side of the street. He looked and a car was coming
right for him. He swerved and Carly got up and screamed. They stopped at the
shoulder of the road and tried to catch their breaths.
Carly: What happened?
Tony looked at her, with sad, angry pain in his eyes.
