SORRY GUYS; THIS CHAPTER DISAPPEARED FROM MY ORIGINAL STORY; ALL FUTURE CHAPTERS WILL BE POSTED HERE. Chapter 12 IS NEXT AND SO FORTH! IF YOU READ THIS CHAPTER WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT ONE! Hope this works because it's been frustrating!

Thank you for the reviews; I want to say this story has only covered close to a month since Eddie went missing; he's not going to remember right now; I get PM's of people telling me I'm taking too long or that this story is boring! Grow up people things in real life take time; this is how I write my stories; I'm not going to write about Loren and Eddie falling in love and that's it! If I go by what many of you want then this story would be over by now. Real life takes time; for those of you who want this story to hurry up or find it boring then try writing your own story; it takes time putting my ideas into dialogue and making sure they make sense; I hope you will continue to read but please let me do what I enjoy doing at my own pace. Sorry but these nagging readers were asking for it! Plz R & R

Face the truth Chapter 11

Cindy walked back into the farmhouse where Leah layed holding her new born son. "What the heck is going on?"

"Nothing is going on."

"I thought Eli left?"

"He did but he's back."

"I know my eyes ain't as good as they use to be; but I swear that guy sitting in your back room behind the barn isn't Eli."

"Cindy your eyes are worse than they used to be; don't worry about me; that's my honey bunch."

Cindy scratched her head; she walked into the room and finished picking up her things and left. Sheila the clinic Dr. was Leah's friend walked in as Cindy was leaving.

"Cindy just told me that's not Eli back there."

"Please don't start and get ready; he wants to see you."

"If you need my help you're going to have to be honest with me."

"Ok shell's…it's not Eli; but he's all I need right now to raise my baby."

"With a man that's not your husband? Girl what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything; we went into town and we found an injured man; you weren't in town that day so Jeremy and I took him home and we took care of his injuries."

"I was back two days later; you couldn't call me?"

"It just got too weird; it was too late to say anything once we realized who it was."

Sheila's eyes widen. "Who's back there?"

Leah hesitated but she knew she had to tell her best friend; who was she kidding? Her only best friend.

"Leah who is it? What did you do?"

"I did nothing! It's Eddie…Eddie Duran."

"Omg the artist? The rock star married to Loren Tate?"

"Yes! But he has amnesia and he's injured; he can't walk and he wasn't able to see very well at first."

"Omg Leah…what have you done?"

"Stop saying that!I didn't do anything! He was the one that was here in town; it's not like I kidnapped him."

"But you could have called the police! You do know that they were looking around town asking questions? Max Duran has a P.I looking everywhere."

"He's not going to find him here."

"Leah wake up! What will you do the day he remembers?"

"At the rate he's going; I'm sure he won't'."

Sheila had to sit down. "We have to do something?"

Leah placed the baby in the bassinet. "You're not doing anything! I'm too deep in this! He can't remember who he is!"

"You could get into trouble! Please face the truth Girl, wake up!"

"No my dear friend; you will; if I tell everyone you treated him and didn't say anything; you will join me in this mess!"

Sheila cringed at the words coming out of Leah's mouth. "You would lie?"

"Yes I've made up my mind; Eddie Duran is no longer alive; he's Eli Davis."

"Amnesia doesn't last forever."

"You're going to go and see him and tell him he's Eli."

"Is that what you do to a friend?"

"I need him Shell's; little Eli Jr needs him!"

Jeremy walked in. "Eddie is asleep; he has no interest in looking at the baby right now."

"Omg you got Jeremy in this mess?"

Jeremy laughed. "Oh you're in this mess too?"

"Hey I knew nothing about this!"

"Join the club Dr. Sheila; your bestie is a monster."

Leah took a deep breath. "I just had a baby; spend the night shell's; I need you here and in the morning you will go and see Eli."

"You realize I could lose my license?"

"You won't lose anything; no one will know anything."

Jeremy looked at Sheila; she was genuinely worried. The baby started to cry. "Go tend to your son."

Leah walked back into the room dragging the bassinet beside her; Jeremy sat as he looked at Sheila who was still in shock.

"I'm sorry Sheila."

She looked at him. "Why didn't you come to me?"

"I told her to call you; she said you were out of town, but you heard her! She's crazy."

"Now I understand why Eli left."

"I told you; she's a jealous freak; she never gave him space! She was always looking over his shoulder and into everything he was doing; checking his phone, his emails; it was crazy, Eli couldn't take it anymore."

"So now Eddie Duran is supposed to fill that void?"

"I don't know anymore; the other day she told me if I didn't stay quiet; she would poison Eddie."

"That's insane! I knew this whole thing with Eli leaving affected her; but I didn't think it was this bad! What about the baby?"

"Did you forget Eli left before he knew she was pregnant? Honestly I'm afraid for that little boy."

"Jeremy we have to figure something out; she has to face the truth; Eddie Duran has a life; he doesn't deserve this."

"Don't you think I've thought of that? I've told her from the beginning we had to let his family know; he's in that back room trying to remember his life; I have a feeling he knows this isn't it."

Sheila sat and tried to think of what to do to help Leah understand that Eddie had to know the truth.

"Don't worry Jeremy; we will think of something; just go with whatever she says; I'll try and find something."

"I think there's a link on Eddie and Loren's page if anyone has information."

Jeremy smiled; finally someone was on his side. "Ok that sounds great." Sheila made her way into Leah's room.

A day later Sheila sat in her office on her laptop; she logged on to Eddie and Loren's page; there was a page written by Tyler asking whoever had any information on Eddie's disappearance to call the number listed. She knew she had to be careful; with Leah's state of mind she could harm Eddie or even worse her own baby.

A few days later

Eddie sat outside most of the day; Leah brought the baby to where he sat; Eddie watched him in the bassinet as Leah made sure Jeremy did his chores.

"Can I help with anything?"

Leah smiled. "You can help by tying these stacks of green beans and placing them in the basket; we have to take them into town.

Eddie grabbed the basket and placed it by his wheel chair n proceeded to start; he felt weird, the baby was cute but he felt nothing; he hated looking at his surroundings and not remembering a single thing. The dreams of a brunette haunted him; if Leah is blonde why was he dreaming of a brunette holding her two hands toward him?

An hour later Leah took the baby inside to change him; a small car stopped a few feet away, Sheila got off the car and noticed Eddie in his wheel chair; Jeremy spotted her and waved.

She smiled as she approached him. "Where's your sister?"

"She's inside with the baby."

"I found a number; I'll try in later tonight."

"Really? How will we explain things when his family shows up?"

"I'll make sure to be here and take it from there."

Jeremy turned to find Eddie just sitting there. "I hope we don't make things any worse by having Loren show up."

"I don't think so; let Leah know I'm going to examine Eddie."

Jeremy cringed. "Please don't call him Eddie in front of her; she will be furious."

"No worries." Jeremy ran to get Leah and Sheila walked towards Eddie. "Hi I'm Sheila; the town's Dr."

Eddie sighed. "You examined me when I fell?"

"We can go into your room; I need to check your vitals."

Eddie turned his wheel chair around and she trailed behind him.

Sheila knew she had no choice but go along with the story Leah had invented. "Yes apparently your head injury affected your memory; you're suffering from amnesia; it's normal but I'm sure you'll get it back."

"Really? How sure are you? I hate not knowing who I am or what my life was like."

Sheila forced a smile as took her bag and opened it and got her blood pressure cuff out along with her stethoscope; she checked his blood pressure. Leah appeared holding little Eli; she watched as Sheila continued to examine Eddie. She changed his head bandage.

"Please remove your shirt."

He did and both woman sighed at the sight of his perfect physic. Sheila checked the bruises on his arms and chest. "You're healing pretty well; a few more weeks and these bruises should be healed."

"What about my head injury."

"Give me a second." She turned and grabbed Leah by the arm and pulled her outside while Jeremy stayed with Eddie.

"He needed stitches!"

"I used that tape I found in the bag Eli left behind."

"He might have a scar; how hard was he hit?"

"I don't know! We found him by the bins at the gas and grocery store; whoever jumped him hit him pretty good; he was bleeding but I managed to stop it; I cleaned it very well and placed those medical tapes to hold the cut together."

"I have this medical glue that I'm going to use to make sure that scar won't remain too open; good thing his hair covers it."

Sheila walked back in and finished placing clean bandages on his head. "You should be ok; I'll be back in a few days to make sure your head injury is healing; I'm leaving this bottle of antibiotic's; you need to take two a day for 10 days."

Eddie nodded. Jeremy helped him to get back to bed. Sheila and Leah walked out. Jeremy turned towards Eddie. "I'm going to bring you some juice, do you need anything else."

"A sandwich is fine."

He walked out to find Sheila waiting for him. "Your sister is inside; as soon as I get back to the office I will try that number."

Jeremy took a deep breath. "Ok be careful and let me know what happens."

Sheila left and arrived home; she lived behind the office, she placed her things down and took out her phone; she had to call Eddie's family and deal with Leah later; she had to be courageous.

Meanwhile Chloe had walked into Tyler's office; when he saw her he rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"

"I know you won't believe me; but I'm wondering if there's any news on Eddie?"

"No it's been a little over 3 weeks and there are no leads."

Chloe sat at the nearest chair; Tyler noticed. "I really don't want you here."

"Can't we be friends?"

"No." Tyler was quick to respond. Suddenly he heard his fax machine buzzing. "I'm checking on that; when I get back I don't want to see you here; please leave." Chloe rolled her eyes and stood up walking towards the door when she heard his cell phone buzzing. She walked to see who was calling. She turned and noticed Tyler was nowhere in sight.

She shrugged her shoulders and answered the phone. "Hello, yes this is Tyler Roarke's number; yes I can take your message." Her eyes widen. "Did you just say Eddie Duran is alive?"

Yikes! Sorry but chapter ends here! Ugh Chloe! Will she help Eddie? Any ideas? Please review!
