alright guys, the last two chapters were intro chapters of sorts. Now, the story'll be in third person from here on out. thanks for stickin with it.
Staring at Greenlee, Ryan moves out not noticing Bianca's presence.
"Ryan leave me alone." Greenlee says firmly.
"No, I can't. We need to talk. You need to understand Greenlee. I have to make you understand." he pleads with her, his big blue eyes shining with hope.
"No Ryan, YOU need to understand. We are never going to be together. NEVER!" she yells. Calming herself slightly, she turns to Bianca. "Would you walk with me?" She questions her cousin. Bianca glances between Ryan and Greenlee and nods.
"Sure. Just let me tell Reese I'm leaving and you two finish up here." she says. She fixes Greenlee with a look that says 'use the next minute and a half to beat it into his head!' and enters the fusion building. She leans against the door and sighs heavily.
"Wow." she hears. Jumping slightly at the sound of the voice her eyes land on Kendall Hart. "You look horrible." Kendall says with a shrug. Bianca just stares at her sister for a moment before looking away.
"Kendall i-" Kendall grips Bianca's chin quickly forcing her to meet her eyes.
"Bianca Christine Montgomery I swear if you apologize to me one more time I'm going to have to hurt you!" Kendall exclaims. Keeping a firm grip on her sister's chin she makes sure that she has her full attention trying to ignore the fear in Bianca's eyes. "I want you to listen to me, ok?" she starts. Bianca nods and Kendall lets her face go. "If we're honest here, I've already forgiven you. I know, it shouldn't have been this quick and I should have made you work for it but... what's done is done." Kendall pauses for a moment gesturing with her hands trying to think of something to say. "I talked to Josh about this...." she starts. Bianca looks up at her confused. Josh hadn't been seen or heard from in months. "I'll explain later. But he pointed something out to me."
"What's that?" Bianca asks lump forming in her throat.
"The only reason I was really mad at you is because you didn't tell me. Not because you asked Zach or that he even did it but you kept this major secret from me Binks. I wasn't mad, I was hurt." Kendall pauses to hold Bianca's eyes to make sure she knows just how much she's hurt. "But you are my baby sister and I would go to the end of the world for you. At any time. And I can't be mad at you for too long Binks, I need you. Now more than ever. i-- you-- we can't change what happened but we can move forward. There are gonna be times when things will be awkward, and tense and our relationship has changed. We both need to work hard at this but I want that Kinks thing we had going for us." Kendall explains. Bianca stares at her sister before rushing forward to hug her tightly.
"I- I wont ever.... I promise." is all Bianca manages to whisper. Kendall hugs her sister back fiercely before pulling away.
"We're gonna start with a sister's day tomorrow. Just you, me, ice cream and probably enough tears to hydrate another planet." Kendall says. Bianca chuckles a little wiping her eyes.
"I look forward to it. Right now I'm being whisked away by none other tha-"
"God Ryan give up!" Greenlee shrieks. "C'mon Montgomery." she growls grabbing Bianca's arm.
"Kendall would you tell Reese I'll se her later please?" Bianca calls over her shoulder.
"Sure. Later!" Kendall calls after. She turns to Ryan and studies him for a moment. "Give it up Lavery." she says shaking her head. Ryan turns to her.
"Excuse me?" he asks in shock.
"She's obviously not interested so stop stalking her." Kendall says as if its no big deal. Ever since she woke up there has been a dramatic change in her personality.
"She loves me." Ryan insists.
"And yet she avoids you like the plague." Kendall retorts walking away.
"She's just afraid!" he calls after her.
"And you're just an idiot!" she calls back.

Reese wasn't happy. Not in the slightest. She had been trying to talk to Zach for days and he avoided her like she was some kind of bad omen. Not anymore she thought as she spotted her target. Moving away from JR Chandler she moves in for the kill.
"Hold your horses blondie. I don't like the way you're eying my husband. He's not a piece of steak so back off." she turns to see whose interrupting her. "Besides, you have my sister and she should be enough." Kendall says stepping in Reese's line of vision.
"Kendall, hey." she says. She really doesn't want to be bothered with the older Kane but she has no choice. Why couldn't she stay asleep? She thinks.
"Don't 'hey' me." Kendall sneers. Reese looks surprised but covers it in a look that could be characterized as fear. And a touch of uncomfortable. "I know that something is wrong with my sister and I'm pretty sure you're the cause. If I find out you so much as threatened to hide her shoes, I will make your life hell. Got it?" Kendal asks. Reese nods standing at full height.
"I get that she's your baby sister, but I swear, you don't have anything to worry about. I'd never hurt Bianca." unless she steps outta line. she thinks. Kendall scoffs.
"You'd never hurt Bianca and I'm a famous actress. Don't press your luck Peanut Butter Cup, I already don't trust you and if you hurt her, well, you'll have to deal with me and my mother." Kendall says before leaving a stunned Reese in her place.
--
Kendall felt a little better.
"Tell me you didn't threaten Reese." she hears. Her attention snaps to her brother, Josh Madden.
"I didn't threaten Reese." she says with a small smile. Josh shakes his head.
"You just couldn't resist it could you Kendall?" he asks. Turning her body completely from the water, she crosses her legs and glances around the boathouse.
"How did you know?" she asks. He smiles.
"I know everything. I told you about Bianca before she even realized the baby was Zach's." he says with a smile letting his feet dangle over the edge of the dock.
"I still don't know how...." she trials off.
"I told you she asked, he refused. She apologize, took it, and went to bed. Reese convinced him and took it to their doctor and well..." now Josh trails off.
"She really didn't?" Kendall asks for clarity.
"No. From what the PI said, she had a fit when Reese told her. Caused a scene at the resteraunt and freaked Miranda out a little." he says shaking his head. "She stayed at Maggie's that night." Josh adds.
"Maggie? I thought they didn't speak." Kendall shows her surprise. Josh give her an 'are you kidding look' and shakes hie head.
"Not much. But Miranda used to spend every other weekend with Maggie." Josh tells his sister.
"Why?" she asks. Josh shrugs.
"Because she wouldn't keep a child from their parent. Despite what they had gone through." he says softly. "Maggie was Miranda's other mother. That can't be denied." josh says.
"Emotio-" she stops when her phone rings. "Hello?" she speaks into the phone.
"Uh, Mrs. Slater, this is Janine Cayles with Pine Valley General, I wanted to inform you that your new doctor will be in tomorrow morning around eleven." the voice on the other end says. Kendall smiles.
"What's his or name please?" Kendall asks. Josh looks confused for a minute but shrugs.
"Uh, Stone. Dr. Maggie Stone." the nurse says. Kendall's eyes light up.
"Thank you." she says disconnecting the call. "Ask and you shall receive." she mutters.
"Huh?" josh questions, not liking the glint in his sisters eye.
"Well, I told the hospital to call me as soon as they knew who my new doctor would be. And that...was them." she says with a grin like a cat who got the canary.
"And?" he's still confused.
"My doctor's name just happens to be Maggie Stone." Kendall says. Josh smiles along with Kendall.
"Is it wrong that we're happy our sister is about to be blown out of th water?" he asks. Kendall shakes her head.
"No, no it isn't. It's for the best. Reese is up to something and Maggie's gonna be the one to save Binks." she says.
"What if we're wrong?" he asks.
"what if we're right?" and they fall into silence. Both thinking the same thing. Even if they don't get together, Maggie will convince Binks to leave Reese. She's up to no good, I can just feel it.

Bianca leaned against the shower tiles crying softly. When she got home, Reese wasn't in a good mood and it showed. After having a little 'talk' she decided to shower and get some sleep. She doesn't mean it. And even if she did, you deserve this. You deserve to hurt. The same way you hurt others. You deserve this. It's your fault. She thinks to herself. Pain. Repeats itself over and over in her mind. I deserve pain. Nothing less. With that last thought, she washes herself and slips into bed.
"I love you." Reese murmurs in her sleep. Bianca tries not to tense in fear.
"I love you too." one more lie, one more reason to hurt. At least, in her logic it is.
