She's Come Back

Ch. Four

The funeral was beautiful. Keisha stood at a distance as she watched them lower Edwards body. At that very moment, Keisha burst into tears as the reality of his death settled in. To everyone else, Edward was a hard man to be around but to her he was tthe sweetest man she'd ever met, aside from Alan and Jason. She loved him and because of Franco, she'd lot him and Alan for good. She'd lost nine years with them.

After everyone said their final goodbye and had left, Keisha moved towards his grave sight and lowered herself to her knees. She then noticed Alan's stone beside Edwards and she choked back a cry.

"Hi, Edward. Hi, Alan. It's me, Keisha Ward." she says, placing a hand on each stone,"I know, its been a while since we've seen each other. "

She moves closer to them,"I wish I could have had more time. I was robbed of a life with you and I am sorry. You have no idea how much I missed you guys. Edward, you were like a grandfather to me. Demanding but a grandfather nonetheless. Alan, you were like the Father I always wanted but never had. You were always there for me, overprotective and worrysm but still like a father." she cried.

"God I miss you guys. I would do anything to have a moment with you guys again."

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

Keisha stood slowly before turning around to meet to woman who's voice she hear. She watched as the strangers eyes widened in shock as if she was seeing a ghost.

"Keisha Ward?" she gaped.

Keisha raised a brow,"Do I know you?"

The woman shook her head and stepped closer,"No but I know you." she says, her expression softened.

"How?"

"My best friend Jason has your picture. You're- you're supposed to be dead." she cries out.

Keisha sighs,"Yeah, I know."

"You know? Well then if you know then you know that Jason is under the impression that you're dead!"

"Yeah, Robin Scorpio told me."

"Robin? She knows you're alive?"

She nods.

"For how long?"

"A little over a mo.th."

"What!? And she didn't think to tell anyone? Jason!?"

"I asked her not to. I wanted to be the one to tell everyone."

"Well, I hope you don't expect the same loyalty from me. I'm loyal to Jason and I will not keep this from him." she says.

Keisha sighs,"Looks like we're at an impasse."

"Look, Jason is my best friend. I can't keep something like this fron him. I'm not Robin. You can't even begin to fathom what he's gone through since he lost you. Of course he's tried moving on but nothing has ever worked out in the end. He deserves to know that the woman he's always loved and will always love is still alive." she says.

"Who are you?"

"My names Carly Corinthos."

"You're married to Sonny."

"How do you know Sonny?"

"Robin told me Jason changed his last name to Morgan so I looked him up. Sonnys name came up also. Jason works for him."

Carly groaned,"That was NOT Robins place to tell you that. Jason should have been the one to explain all of that to you, not her nosey ass."

Keisha nods,"It's fine. I'm not judging anyone here."
