Forever chapter 1****Brenda is sitting at her dressing table, in the bedroom she and Jax share, remembering the events of the day before. The day that changed everyhing.**** ~~~~~~~~~ Flashback~~~~~~~~~ S: “It may be messy, it may be inconvenient, but it’s the strongest thing you’ll ever know. I love you, Brenda. When you change your mind, I’ll be around.” J: “Brender? Brender? Earth to Brender?” B: “Sorry, I was just daydreaming. I was thinking about when we were in New Orleans. ” (LIAR!) J: “We’ll be back there soon enough.” B: “Yeah......” J: “I can’t wait!” B: “I have a meeting with the photographer @ 2:00, about the new Jax Cosmetics ad campaign.” J: “That’s good because I won’t be here anyway.” (Sarcastic) B: “Where are you going?” J: “I’m going to see Miranda.” B: “Oh......” J: “I have to go.” B: “I didn’t say anything.” J: “I know what you’re thinking. I know you better than you know yourself!” B: (to herself) Not as well as Sonny knows me! J: “I love you Brender.” B: “I love you too.” (Saying it to one man while dreaming of another.) J: “Dinner at the Grille tonight?” B: “Sure. Around 7:30, okay?” J: “Okay, I’ll see you then. Bye.” (giving Brenda a kiss on the cheek before leaving.) ****Brenda is alone in the house, with her thoughts.**** B: (thinking outloud) "I DO love Jax! I DO!!" (trying to convince herself.) ~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~ **** First time Sonny and Brenda made love in Washington, D.C. **** S: “Tommorrow we’ll be the same people but without the lonliness.” **** When Sonny left Brenda standing in the rain, outside Kelly’s.**** S: “As G** as my witness, I love you Brenda!” B: “Do you expect me to stand here and try not to flinch while you rip my heart out?” B: (alone again in the penthouse) “I can’t, I WON’T let you do this to me again, Sonny!” ****Meanwhile, a small envelope was slipped under the door. Brenda saw it, and picked it up. She opened it and inside she found a ring, a wedding band. Immediatley she recognized it. It was Sonny’s!**** B: “I can’t believe you, Sonny!!!!!” ****Brenda finishes getting ready, storms out of the apartment and heads toward Luke’s, blowing off her meeting with the photographer.**** ****Brenda arrives at Luke’s so angry she can barely think straight. Mike is at the bar.**** M: “Can I help you, Brenda?” B: “Yeah Mike. Where the hell is Sonny?” M: “He’s in the back rom with Jason.” B: “Thanks!” ****Brenda opens the door, startling both Sonny and Jason.**** Jason: “Ah.....Hi Brenda.” B: “Hi Jason. Could you excuse us?” J: “Yeah. Sure.” ****Jason leaves and closes the door behind him.**** B: “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” S: “Calm down, Brenda. What did I do now?” B: “What is this? Some kind of sick joke?” (Brenda throws the ring at Sonny.) S: “Where did you get that?” B: “You sent it to me.” S: “No...let me see the note.” (Sonny reads the note.) S: “That bastard. Brenda, I buried this ring at Lily’s grave.” B: “What?” S: “The person that set me up...they must have seen me bury it. THEY dug it up and sent it to you, NOT me!” B: “Why should I believe you?” S: “I DO love you and would do Anything to get you back, but I wouldn’t send you this. Come on, you know me better than that!” B: “If you didn’t send this, then I’m sorry. But, if you did....” S: “I DIDN’T!” B: "I have to go. I’m having dinner with MY HUSBAND.” S: “How is Candy Boy?” B: “Don’t call him that.” S: “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.” (Grinning) B: “BYE!” S: “See you soon!”
Forever Chapter 2**** Brenda and Jax are at the Port Charles Grille having dinner and making small talk.**** B: “How was your day, Honey?” J: “Good. What did you do today?” B: “I told you before, I went to see the photographer about Jax Cosmetics new ad campaign.” J: “How can you lie straight to my face?” B: “What?” J: “I know you didn’t see the photographer today.” B: “So, you’re having me followed too? You’re just as bad as Sonny.” J: “I see. You went to see Sonny today. Am I right?” B: “Yes, I did go to see him, but....” J: “But nothing Brender. Can’t you see he’s hurting you? He’s putting you in danger. You may think he does it out of love, but he does it out of revenge. He doesn’t love you, can’t you see that?” B: (forgetting, for the moment, who she was talking to) “He DOES love me, and I LOVE him.... I didn’t mean that Jax. I’m so sorry!” J: “Don’t be sorry. You meant what you said. I’ve been trying to deny it but you are still in love with Sonny and.....I am still in love with Mirander. I love you Brender but I’m not in love with you and you’re not in love with me. I really enjoyed what we had together but I think it’s time we both face the truth.” B: “So that is what this is about. You still love Miranda.”(tears forming in her eyes, but inside she is feeling a huge sense of relief.) J: “Miranda still loves me and doesn’t want us to get a divorce. She wants us to stay married.” B: “Is that what you want?” J: “Yes, I want to be with her as much as you want to be with Sonny. I want you to be happy. I’m really sorry. I’m surprised we lasted this long. I’ll always love you Brenda. Goodbye.” **** Jax left, leaving Brenda alone in the restaurant, still shocked at what had just happened.****
Forever Chapter 3**** An hour later, Brenda finds herself outside Sonny’s penthouse, debating whether to knock or to leave. She decides to knock**** S: “What? Who is it?” B: (barely audible) “Sonny, it’s me.” S: (opens door) “Brenda....” B: “I shouldn’t have come...” S: “No, come in. Come in.” B: “I need you.” S: “Did something happen with Jax? Did he hurt you?” B: “We had a fight. He didn’t hurt me. At dinner, we had a fight. I was defending you and it slipped out. I told him I love YOU!” S: “What?” (smiling to himself) B: “Then he said that he still loved Miranda and that they wanted to stay married.” S: “I’m sorry. I never wanted to cause you anymore pain and I can see that I have. Maybe if I left town....” B: “Don’t leave. Not ever. I DO LOVE YOU!!! I ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL!!! Can’t you see that? I NEED YOU!!!” S: (taking Brenda’s face in his hands and kissing her like only Sonny can) “I love you too!” B: (now holding each other) “Ah, I’m sooooo happy. I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy. I’ll be so happy with you forever.” S: “I know. I’ve missed you so much.” B: “I’m sorry it took me so long to realize......” S: “Don’t be sorry, you’re here now.” B: “Forever, if you’ll have me.” S: “Oh Brenda, forever.” **** That night they made love for hours, filling a space in themselves that had been empty for so long, too long.**** **** In the following days Brenda and Jax got a divorce, parting amicably. Now, they both had what they had always wanted: true love.**** **** Brenda returned to the penthouse and knocked, but remembered that now she had a key.**** B: “Sonny, I’m home!” S: “Home. I like the sound of that.” (Sonny goes to Brenda and gives her a kiss.) “I love you.” B: “I love you too. Guess what?” S: “What?” B: “I’m free. Finally!” (smiling from ear to ear.) S: “Oh, baby. Let’s celebrate.” B: “No, I just want to be here with you, ALONE!” S: “That’s what I meant!” B: “You’re bad!” S: “I know!” ****Sonny carried Brenda upstairs where they made love, to celebrate their new found freedom.**** **** In bed: S: “When are you going to bring your stuff over?” B: “What? I was going to get an apartment. Maybe at Kelly’s. I didn’t know, but if you want me....” S: “Of course I want you. Don’t you know that bye now? This is all I’ve ever wanted. This is OUR place now.” **** There was a knock at the door**** S: (to Brenda) “Don’t go anywhere. I love you Bren.” (kisses her) B: “Come back soon. I’m waiting for you. I love you so much!” ****Sonny puts on his robe and goes downstairs.**** S: “Who is it? What do you want?” Jason: “Sonny, it’s Jason. I need to talk to you.” S: (opens door) “Come in.” J: “Sonny we got news on the set-up. I think it’s Harry Silver or one of the Jaxes.” S: “I don’t think it’s the Jaxes. I heard through the grapevine that that scumbag Harry Silver is in town.” **** Brenda comes downstairs and sees Jason**** B: “Hi Jason!” J: “Uh..Hi Brenda.” (Sonny grins.) B: “Sorry to interrupt. Sonny, I have a meeting with Lucy. I’ll be back soon. I love you.” (she kisses him, and when she tries to leave Sonny holds her for an extra moment.) S: (whispers) “I love you too. I’ll be waiting. We can go out tonight, or not. Bye!” (grins when she leaves) B: “Bye Jason!” J: “Bye Brenda.”
Forever Chapter 4J: “What happened?” S: “Nothing, Well, not nothing. Brenda is back with me, where she belongs.” J: “Are you sure you can trust her?” S: “With ny life.....with my heart.” J: “If you say so. I heard that Harry is back in town.” S: “He’s waiting to make his move. Now that Brenda is with me, I can keep her safe.” J: “I’m going to go get Robin from Yale. We’re going to take off. If that’s okay?” S: “Sure. Keep her safe and have fun.” J: “Don’t go anywhere without bodyguards. Hear me?” S: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye!” J: “Bye.” ****After Jason leaves, there is a knock on the door*** S: “Who is it?” (he opens he door.) “Harry, I was expecting you.” H: “Oh yeah, were you expecting this?” **** As fast as the blink of the eye, Harry pulls out a revolver and shoots Sonny in the abdomen. Sonny lets out a grunt.**** S: “Ugh.....” H: “Now everything’s mine. You got what you deserve. It wasn’t meant for her. It was meant for you and that whore.” (Harry left.) S: “Brenda....”

Forever Chapter 7
Forever chapter 8*** “Wedding March” begins. Ned and Brenda begin down the aisle. Brenda sees Sonny ahead, grinning from ear to ear. When they reach the pulpit Ned places Brenda’s hand into Sonny’s. They gaze into eachother’s eyes and the whole world seems to dissappear. Sonny winks at Brenda. The priest begins: P: “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining together of Michael Corinthos and Brenda Barrett in Holy matrimony....... Is there anyone here who has reason why Brenda and Michael may be joined in Holy matrimony? Speak now, or forever hold your peace.....Michael, Do you take Brenda to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to love, honour, and cherish, forsaking all others, ‘til death do you part?” S: “I DO!!!” P: “And Brenda, Do you take Michael to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to love, honour, and cherish, forsaking all others, ‘til death do you part?” B: (crying) “I DO!!!” P: “Sonny and Brenda have written their own vows. Sonny...” S: “Brenda, I love you with all my heart and soul. You have saved my life more than once and I want to spend my life trying to repay you...” B: “You already have...” S: “You always knew, even when I didn’t. For once, I’m glad you were so stubborn. I want to take care of you. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and trying to give you the happiness you deserve.” B: (crying)“Sonny, you have given me the one thing I have always dreamed of: Love. I love you more and more each day. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you just how much. I have ALWAYS known we were meant to be. So did Stone. He helped us find the way back to eachother. I’d like to thank him. Stone, you were right all along. Thanks for helping us out. You were our guardian angel. Sonny, I have always loved you and I will always love you, forever!” P: “Michael, repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed.” S: “With this ring I thee wed.” P: “Brenda, repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed.” B: “With this ring, I thee wed.” P: What God hath brought together let no man put asunder. Michael, you may kiss your bride.” S: “Gladly!” **** They kissed passionatley, hungrily for what seemed like days, blocking out the rest of the world. They were beaming!**** P: “I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Michael Corinthos!” (roaring applause) S: “I love you!” B: “I love you too!!” **** There was only a small reception at Luke’s because Sonny and Brenda had to fly to Puerto Rco in an hour. As Sonny’s best man, Luke made a toast: L: Here’s to the bride and groom. I have never met a couple who deserves happiness more, besides me and Laura. Congratulations!” Crowd: “To Sonny and Brenda!!” B: “I..We would like to thank you all, so much..but MY HUSBAND and I have to get going. Go ahead and party without us, besides Sonny’s paying!!” (grins) S: “Look. We’ve been married for what? Like an hour? And she’s ALREADY driving me into the poor house!” Crowd: “Bye!! Have fun!!!!” S: “Don’t worry we will!!!!!!!” (grins) **** Outside Luke’s: B: “I can’t wait to get to Puerto Rico!!!!” S: “Me either! I’m glad Stone was right!” B: I love you so much!!!!” S: “We have to get to the airport or we’ll miss our flight!”
