Chapter 2
The accident changed Greenlee's life and would lead to the fateful decision she would make those six months ago.
It was the summer of 2011 and Greenlee's life was turning around. She and Ryan Lavery had finally reconnected. In front of her father Jackson, Emma, Kendall, Spike, and with Tad Martin officiating Greenlee and Ryan were married. She thought this was it they had finally made it nothing was going to break them apart this time. But there was a secret she couldn't admit to anyone, even herself, there was a part of her that still loved David and understood him maybe better than anyone else. She never let anyone on to her feelings for David she couldn't really comprehend them herself. She had every reason to hate this man and told him every time they were together. He had hurt her worse then she could have ever imagined. When he faked his death she had to grieve a husband all over again. You would think she would get used to that eventually but every time she lost someone a piece of her heart was broken in a way that would never really heal. How she wished he didn't have this effect on her.
She would never admit her feelings for David for two simple reasons. Most importantly she was trying to protect herself she didn't want to give him the power to ever hurt her again. Aside from that her keeping this inside was purely selfish reason. She was so afraid if she allowed David back into her life all the other people she loved would give up on her for good this time. She knew if she sided with David over Ryan or Jackson or anyone else they would be done with her and never forgive her and she couldn't deal with that rejection again. So Greenlee did what she knew they wanted. She helped them get to the bottom of David's actions. She tried to find out why he was so interested in Erica Kane, what he had done to get a hold of the hospital, and what the Orpheus Project was.
It was everyone's desire to bring David down that would set Greenlee's life onto a new course. Ryan had asked her to go to David's hotel room and see if she could find anything about the Orpheus Project while Ryan kept David busy. While looking through David's room she would find the key card that would unlock secrets she had buried deep inside.
As she held the card she begun to remember the time she spent in Gloucester, the signs on the walls, the key cards, the doctor's coats all marked with the Project Symbol. She remember coming out of the coma and seeing a strange woman over her bed. She had explained to her she had been in an accident but was going to be ok and just to rest. Greenlee quickly realized her legs didn't work and knew something had gone very wrong but couldn't remember what. As she began to heal she asked if she could get out the bed. The doctors allowed her to visit the hospitals atrium as long as a nurse was with her.
One morning there was an emergency in one of the rooms and Gayle had to leave in a hurry leaving Greenlee by herself. Greenlee took the opportunity to explore the place she was calling home. With no one around to supervise her she wheeled her chair down the long hallway of closed doors. Near the end of the hallway there was a door slightly ajar. She pushed the door opened and wheeled herself next to the person on the bed. All she could tell at first glance was the person lying there was a young woman around her age with long dark hair and she was obviously hurt badly. She put her hand on the young woman's hand and instantly her mind went to a time years earlier. She was in the Fusion offices and in front of her was her friend Simone Torres. As Greenlee's mind went back to the hospital room in Gloucester she realized the woman in the hospital bed was her long dead friend Simone.
David and Gayle had found Greenlee that day freaked out about finding her friend in the hospital. She begged them to tell her what was happening. Gayle quickly took Greenlee back to her room worried that too much stress would cause the woman to relapse and undo all the progress she had made over the last few months. After Gayle had left the room Greenlee tried to reach for a phone to call Ryan, to tell him she was alive and what she had found. As she dialed the phone Gayle came back in the room and yelled at the fragile woman who would drop the phone and in fear fall out of the hospital bed hitting her head on the way down.
That was the last time Greenlee had woken up, the fall had resulted in a serious concussion. David had moved Greenlee from Orpheus Critical Care Hospital for fear that the woman would find out what he was up to if she woke up. He was lucky that Christmas night when she had no memory as to the time she had come out of her coma.
But now after seeing that key card in David's room at the Yacht Club Greenlee did remember. David had opened a hospital where he was caring for people long thought dead by their loved ones in Pine Valley. Greenlee knew what she had to do next.
