Sonny looked at the liquor in the glass and took another, almost reluctant swig. The place had been trashed. Hannah was gone. But, she was a FED...Why wasn't he happier he dumped her? Maybe because Carly stole his thunder? Robbed him of his moment? Nodding, and taking another swig, he convinced himself this must be the reason...Jason had been shot; and wanted nothing to do with him. He had done the unthinkable, and slept with that no-good tramp Carly...
Sonny: And, for that you lost Jason?
Suddenly, Emily showed up at the door.
Sonny: (opening the door and gesturing for her to enter) Hey, sweetie. What's up?
Emily: Um, have you seen Jason? His cellphone's off.
Sonny: (hedging) Oh... um, no, not really... He should be back real soon, though...
Emily: Oh, it's business, huh?
Sonny: Uh... somethin' like that, yeah...
Emily: Oh, okay...
Sonny: Wanna come in for a minute, though?
Emily: (shrugs) Sure...
Lucky: (incredulously) You... you kept this from me?
Lizzie: I didn't mean to... I was just... You mind me helping Jas---
Lucky: Don't turn this around, Elizabeth! You know I don't! He's my friend,too... I just wonder why you'd lie to me about it; break dates just to keep it from me?
Lizzie: (tears streaming down her face) I'm sorry...
Lucky: (sighing heavily) Yeah, I know...
Hey, man, I'm alive.
I'm takin' each day and night at a time.
I'm feelin' like a monday, but, someday, I'll be
saturday night.
Hey, my name is Jim.
Where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement,
all the good sh*t's gone.
Just can't hold a job.
Where do I belong.
Been sleepin' in my car,
My dream's moved on.
My name is Billie-Jean,
My love is bought and sold.
I'm only 16, I feel 100 years old.
My foster daddy went and took my innocence away.
The street life ain't much better,
but, at least I get paid.
And, tuesday just might go my way.
It can't get worse than yesterday.
Thursdays, friday's, ain't been kind.
But, somehow, I survived.
Hey, man, I'm alive.
I'm takin' each day and night at a time.
Hey, I'm down, but, I know I'll get by.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man.
I'm gonna live my life
Like I ain't got nothin'
but this roll of the dice.
I'm feelin' like a monday,
but, someday, I'll be saturday night.
Now, I can't say my name,
or tell you where I am.
Wanna blow myself away,
don't know if I can.
I wish that I could be
in some other time and place.
With someone else's soul, someone else's face.
And, tuesday just might go my way.
It can't get worse than yesterday.
Thursdays, fridays, ain't been kind,
but, somehow, I survived.
Hey, man, I'm alive.
I'm takin' each day and night at a time.
Hey, I'm down, but, I know I'll get by.
Hey, hey, hey, hey man.
I'm gonna live my life.
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride.
I'm feelin' like a monday, but, someday, I'll be saturday night.
Hoooo...
Saturday night...
Yeah...
Someday, I'll be saturday night.
I'll be back on my feet,
I'll be doin' all right.
It may not be tomorrow,
baby, that's okay.
I ain't goin' down.
I'm gonna find my way.
Hey, hey, hey.
Man, I'm alive.
I'm takin' each day and night at a time.
Hey, I'm down, but, I know I'll get by.
Hey, hey, hey, hey man.
I'm gonna live my life
like I ain't got nothin' but this roll of the dice.
I'm feelin' like a monday, but, someday, I'll be
saturday night.
Ohhhh.
I'm feelin' like a monday, but, someday, I'll be saturday night...
Oh, oh, oh.
Saturday night.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Saturday night...
Emily looked around, wondering where she was. What had happened? Then, she looked over at Sonny and remembered... Suddenly, there was a knock at the door...
Carly: Hey, Sonny where's John--- What is goin' on?!
Emily: Carly, don't.
Sonny: This is none of your concern.
Carly: The hell it's not!(spins on her heel and leaves)
Emily slumps back on the couch and sighs heavily.
Carly strode into Luke's cockily. Mike, Luke, Lucky, and Jason were sitting around having drinks.
"This is just too perfect" , she thought.
Carly: Hey, Jase.
Jason: (with a cool nod) Carly.
Carly: (discontented) Um, I have to talk to you...
Jason: (shrugs) So talk. Doesn't mean I'm gonna listen.
Carly: (bites her lip) You're still mad?
Jason: (shakes his head) Nah... Just... feel kinda dumb for not knowin' better to start with... but, now I do...
Carly: Look... Sonny... I didn't think at first that he was trying to betray you, but---
Jason: Leave him out of it.
Carly: (incredulously) How? Isn't this---
Jason: "This", is... over. Case closed.
Luke: Aw... lay off 'im, Caroline...
Carly: (eyes snapping) Stay out of this, Luke!
Emily: (coming into the bar)Out of what?
Carly: (smugly) The fact that you and Sonny slept together!
All eyes turned to Emily in shock, and she felt her face burning; wishing the floor would open up and swallow her...
Sonny stepped into the shower, turning on the hot stream full-blast. Unwittingly, his mind went back to the night he spent with Carly...
Carly: (pulling the covers around her) Um, I wanna take a shower... Are there any clean towels?
Sonny: (offhandedly) G'head, scrub yourself raw... won't wash it away...
If he hadn't lost Jason this night, he'd completely sealed the deal this night...
Carly: (pulling on her coat)I'm leavin'.
Sonny: Good. There's, uh, some money in that drawer if ya wanna make it official...
God, what had he done???
Emily had nothing to say. Carly'd ruined everything, just like always... Face on fire, she fled from the club, tears streaming down her face. All eyes turned to Carly, angry.
Lucky: Um... maybe I should go after her...
And, he left before anyone could respond.
Mike: (shocked) It... it's not true...
Carly: Oh, really? I saw them!
Jason: (gripping her shoulders tightly) You are saying, you saw them having---
Carly: Ow! Easy, Jase... No; I saw them after.
Jason: (pushes her away disgustedly) Then, how do you know?
Carly: (sarcastically) Well, let's see... I come in, and see them on the couch. He's wearing a blanket, and she's wearing his coat... (pauses dramatically) and, nothing else...
Lucky ran down the docks in time to see Emily fall, hysterically crying. She just stayed there, sobbing, gasping, coughing. Lucky ran to her in alarm.
Lucky: (cradling her protectively against him) Shhh. Shhh. You're gonna be fine...
Emily: (sounding like a lost child) No, Lucky... nothing may ever be okay agian...
Lucky: Did you and Sonny really... um...
Emily: (nodding) Yeah...
Lucky: (looking at her carefully) What happened?
Emily: What do you mean?
Lucky: (takes a deep breath and steeles himself for his next question) Did... did you... want to?
Emily: Yeah... I mean, I guess so... Sonny would've never tried if I didn't...
Lucky: (sighing) How drunk was he?
Emily: How'd you know he was drunk?
Lucky: Because he... Ah, nevermind that... Just... Why?
Emily: (shrugs dully) We... I guess we needed something... or, at least we thought we did...
Lucky: You and Juan never---
Emily: No; Sonny's the only one...
Lucky: How could you let this happen? You both knew it was wrong...
Emily: I don't know! What have I done? It's not legal; if the cops---
Lucky: I don't think you gotta worry 'bout the cops... I think we gotta worry more 'bout Jase when this all sinks in...
