Okay, so this chapter's pretty short. But more is coming soon I promise. Not only longer chapter's but some of that Abby/Jimmy goodness! Please review and give me your opinions! Thanks -- Lizzi (ClosedxHeart)

Abby couldn't see her dad doing any of it, the killings. Why now? Why ruin Henry's wedding? To her knowledge, her father had always liked Henry. Even had asked her why she was dating someone like Jimmy when she could easily have Henry.

But he saved Jimmy. Jimmy was alive. Henry was the one suffering. He was supposed to be married by now, living the happily ever after he and Trish deserved.

As Abby stalked down the hall towards her room at the Candlewick she realized that none of it made sense. She had thought it added up when Trish was explaining it to her earlier, but now she was frightened.

(Shane POV)

"We should get him to the clinic, find Doc Campbell." Nikki was dabbing at Jimmy's wounds with a rag we'd found in the kitchen. She was still naïve about the situation, thinking we could just up and leave. She hadn't seen it. The way nothing went right, the terrifying shock as the bombs rattled around us.

" It's not safe out there. Besides, your doing fine." I said, watching as she continued to clean the burns he had down his arm.

"Well it's not the burns that I'm worried about Shane, he still hasn't woken up… how the hell did he survive that explosion?"

I couldn't help but give a small smile, " Always was a lucky bastard." Of all the times I'd tried to sleep with local girls or sometimes even outsiders, they'd all looked past me at Jimmy.

He never gave any of them a glance though; he only had eyes for Abby. I could never quite see his attraction honestly, she wasn't drop dead gorgeous, and she was so unwilling to give it up. But she was pretty in that elfin way. Her eyes sparkled and her smile could light up a room.

The vision of her sitting on my lap and boring into me flashed in front of me. I looked down at Jimmy. SHIT. Shit, shit, shit. What have I done?

Jimmy waited seven years for Abby. I thought he was gone for a whopping hour and made a pass at her. Some kind of friend I am.

"Mommy?"

The kid was whining again while the blonde one argued with Henry's girlfriend. I didn't want to get involved in their fucked up world in the first place and now I'm sitting here listening to their bickering. Will someone please just shut up the kid?

" Mommy, he's here!'
