CHAPTER TWO

Zach kicked the door opened and stormed into Ryan's penthouse. "You son of a bitch!" He hissed as he managed to grab hold of Ryan's throat. "You just managed to kill Kendall Hart; whom you claimed to have almost soul mate love." He tightened his hold on Ryan's throat as he banged Ryan against the wall near the staircase.

Ryan tried to tear Zach's hand from his throat but he only managed to cause Zach to tighten his hold even much more. He finally stopped struggling and allowed Slater to either work the anger out of himself or kill him. If Slater succeeded in killing him than he would end up in jail and won't be able to help Kendall.

Zach breathed in Ryan's purple face for several seconds and than jerked away from Ryan as he watched as Ryan feel sideways and banged his side against the stair case metal railing. "All you have done in the Kane family is cause them heartache and trouble. You should have left them the hell alone when you first arrived in Pine Valley." Zach moved over and kicked Ryan's side before Ryan could stand up once more. "You son of a bitch." He kicked Ryan after he hissed each word. He finally stepped back and waited for Ryan to stand to his feet.

Ryan slowly stood up and held his side where Zach had kicked as hard as he could in to his ribs. "I don't blame you for hating me Slater." He breathed as he tested his rib cage as he felt the over whelming pain wash over him. "I hate myself."

"You should. You knew your brother was rapist after he raped Kit Montgomery. You should have left town than." Zach folded his arms across his chest and glared at the other man. "But no you Ryan Lavrey had to be the Kane family knight in shinning armor." He shook his head. "But now after Braden raped Kendall; Erica will never see you as that ever again. Too bad that Kendall had to be hurt by your brother for the truth to finally hit home."

"I all ready heard all this from Jackson." Ryan spat out some blood that finally worked it's way up through his throat and into his mouth. He shook his head as he saw Slater's eyes darken even more than before.

Line Break # 1

JR walked over to stand out side of Kendall's room and looked in at his child hood love lying unconscious in the hospital bed with tubes stuck in her. He saw that Bianca was by her sister's side and he sighed in relief but also had a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. He wasn't looking forward to his meeting with Bianca Montgomery; but yet he couldn't help but look forward to it.

He thought back to his history with the Kane/Montgomery family. Erica was his step mother twice. Bianca and Kendall were his step sisters twice. Bianca was his close friend while they were growing up. JR had a major crush on Kendall when she hit town the second time around. He still had a major thing for this older woman whom wouldn't give him the time of day; but Kendall was his best friend because she and he were so much alike emotionally. JR ended up with Bianca's baby girl because they both were lied to when their children were born. JR almost accidentally killed Bianca when the truth finally hit him and he knew that he had lost his little girl and his son. Bianca has yet to forgive him for trying to keep her baby girl away from her.

JR sighed softly to himself before turning away from the window before Bianca turned around and saw him. He didn't want any tension in the room because he knew that Kendall could feel every emotion even through she was in a coma fighting for her life. He walked over to the section of chairs and sat down facing the door and waited for Bianca to come out.

Line Break # 2

Maggie gently opened the connecting door to Kendall's room from Miranda's room. She stood in the door frame and just watched as Bianca quietly sat by her sister's side holding a very bruised and broken hand of her older ½ sister. "I'm sorry Bianca." She softly said so not to freak her soul mate out from the sudden noise in the room where only the beeping of the monitors and the whooshing of the oxygen machine could be heard.

"I should have stayed here Mags. I should have stayed here and protected her. I shouldn't have been so selfish and moved Miranda to Paris; especially after just getting her back in my arms again. I wasn't the only one who had mourned Miranda for ten months; Kendall lost her darling Memo also." Bianca's tears finally feel as she felt herself break. She tried so hard to remain strong and positive because she very well knew Kendall could hear her even thought she was in a coma. But the strain was finally too much.

"Kendall understood Bianca. She understood that she needed you to take Miranda will it would be safer for her. She knew that Miranda wasn't safe in town when Jonathan was out seeking revenge." Maggie stayed where she was because she knew that Bianca would want her to be close to Miranda in case Miranda became fussy in her sleep. "I'm sorry that I brought Jonathan into our lives; Bianca." She said as she looked mournfully into her eyes.

Bianca turned from looking at Kendall's beaten face over to her soul mate. "You are not to blame for Jonathan Lavrey. It's not your fault that Jonathan was a freak." She turned back to stare at her sister. "You have to fight Kendall; we need you with us. You are the glue that's holding mom and me together."

Maggie wanted to say more but she heard Miranda fussing behind her. She softly shut the door that connected Kendall and Miranda's room and walked over to the crib. She bent down and lightly touched Miranda's sleeping back. "Hey now little one; you are safe. Time to enter dream world where you will have many adventures." She softly said.

Line Break # 3

Anita walked over to where Erica and Greenlee were standing in the hallway that led to Kendall's room. "I just got off the phone with Robin. She said that she will be here to mower morning and will be taking over Kendall's case."

"Thank you Anita." Erica said as she turned away from the young Santos nurse and Greenlee. She walked down the hallway to her oldest daughter's room. She stopped short when she saw the young man who was sitting facing her daughter's room. "Get the hell out of here JR you aren't welcomed."

JR stood to his feet and stuffed his hands deep in his pockets. "I know that I can never begin to work off the deep grief that I have caused your family Erica. But I am not going to go any where until I speak to Bianca. "

"Stay away from my daughters and my granddaughter." Erica walked over to JR and stood protectively in front of Kendall's door with her arms across her chest. She frowned deeply up into the eyes of the step son whom she used to care so much for, even when she and Adam divorced she still held JR in a high esteem. But ever since she learned that JR had so willing kept the truth about Miranda from Bianca all holds were off where Erica was concerned.

"I would like to offer my help on dealing with Braden and the Lavrey family." JR said softly.

"I would sooner get help from Zach Slater and Ethan Ramsey than I would from the Chandlers!" Erica snorted.

"Than I will be helping Zach and Ethan with their plans on riding Pine Valley of the Lavrey's once and for all." JR said as he backed away. "I'll talk to Bianca at a later date than." With that JR turned and walked down the hallway. He left only because he knew that Erica would never allow him to speak to Bianca in the hospital that day. He didn't want to add any more tension to Kendall's family.

END CHAPTER TWO

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long to update. I wrote the first chapter three years ago but I have had so many computer problems that I couldn't' get on a computer to continue this story. I know how I want this story to go; so I'm finally on a computer that works and I have internet access; so my chapters should be coming a lot quicker and a lot sooner than I originally thought.

Thanks to my reviewers who wrote me private messages; you helped me get back in groove to writing this wonderful story.
