Chapter 4

Jason walked into the studio only to be almost knocked over by Spinelli.
“SPINELLI!!” Jason yelled.
“I am so sorry hung over one but you must call Mr. Corinthos back post haste!” Spinelli said.
“I already spoke to him and he is not happy with me” Jason replied.
“Ya Think?” Spinelli said with his voice cracking as he said it. “The mean agent man had me on the phone for twenty minutes telling me I better help keep better track of you and to keep you out of trouble, or else.” Spinelli gulped.
“Why do you listen to him Spinelli you know he is just trying to scare you?” Jason said.
“Well he does” Spinelli whispered.
Jason just laughed, he loved the kid like a little brother, ever since he started on the show Jason took him under his wing and in that time he has grown to love the kid. Spinelli shared the feelings as well.
The two of them were always together except for the times when Jason was hell bent on getting drunk or starting a bar fight or just simply wanting to get laid. Spinelli knew that what Jason really needed was to find someone who loved him for who he is on the inside, and not because of who he is and what he does.
Spinelli knew that if Jason found that perfect woman he would be a different person, a much happier person. Spinelli was bound and determined to make that happen for his best friend and brother.
The days shooting was over and Jason was getting ready to leave when Spinelli came into his dressing room.
“How about we go get some burgers and go back to your place and just hang out tonight?” Spinelli asked.
“Sounds good, but we have to stop at Sonny’s office first he wants to do damage control from last night. Jason answered.
Jason saw the color drain from Spinellis face. “Sonny is all bark and no bite.” Jason said.
“Well his bark scares the hell out of me!” Spinelli replied.
Jason just laughed at his young friend, and said “Lets Go.”
Jason pulled up to Sonny’s office with Spinelli following right behind in his brand new black Porsche. Jason had to hand it to the kid, he might be a complete computer geek but he sure had great taste in cars.
As they entered sonny’s office they were greeted by Alexis.
“Jason” Alexis said with the tone a mother takes when she is disappointed in her child.
Jason knew this was not going to be good. Sonny came out of his office with a look that said I am going to kick your ass then when I am done I am going to kick it all over again!!! Spinelli cowered in the corner the minute he saw Sonny, hoping to blend into the wall and not be seen.
“OFFICE!! NOW!!” Sonny yelled.
Jason know not to say anything and just go into the office. “So?” Sonny asked. “So What?” Jason replied, knowing it was a bad move.
“Do you know who I just got off the phone with?”
“No” was all Jason could say.
“Well that was the producers of your show, they got a call from the higher ups and were told to either rein you in or your gone!!” Sonny bellowed.
Jason just sat there in silence. “What nothing to say smart ass?” Sonny said.
“What do you want me to say Sonny?” Jason finally yelled back. “I am sorry ok?” “I will go to them tomorrow and apologize all right” Jason said.
“Unfortunately Jason this time sorry is not enough, they want to give you a four month vacation, and they hope in that time you will get your act together and settle down and come back with a different attitude.” Sonny said.
“WHAT!! They can’t do that Sonny!! I am that show if I go the ratings go down they know that!!!” Jason yelled.
“That’s why they are not firing you” Sonny said.
“Well isn’t this just fucking great!” Jason yelled again.
“Well Jason it may just be a blessing in disguise for us” Sonny said with the dimples and the returning smile.
“I know that look, and I don’t like it Sonny, what is going on in that devious mind of yours that I am going to have to live through?”
Alexis who was just sitting there quietly through out the whole exchange between the two men finally spoke up. “Jason I would like you to meet Diane”
A tall slender woman with short red hair stepped out of the other room. “Nice to meet you Jason ,I am Diane, a producer for the reality show Big Brother, and I would love to have you on my show this season.” Diane said as she held out her hand to shake Jason’s.
Jason pinched the bridge of his nose he felt a headache coming on, and thought ‘What the hell did Sonny get him into this time!!’
