Chapter 6

Amadeo scooped Annabelle up in his arms. He kissed her forehead and began walking again. Jessica sighed, not sure what to say. "I'm fine." she told him, finally, though her voice said otherwise.

"I am coming over anyway" Shawn insisted. "Shawn, you don't have to do that, I'm fine." Jessica retorted. Annabelle snuggled against Amadeo as they edged the hospital, when they were couple feet she motioned to Amadeo that she needed down as not to shock anyone. Shawn ignored her response hung up the phone and walked pass Annabelle and Amadeo without knowing them at all.

Jessica sighed and laid back down, putting the phone on the bed stand. Amadeo set Annabelle down, but didn't let go of her hand. He led her to the hospital. Annabelle glanced at the nurses and they pointed straight ahead. Shawn sped all the way to Jessica suite, there he knocked on the door and walked in slowly.

Amadeo kept Annabelle's hand in his own. "This way darling." he said, smiling at her. Jessica sat up again and took her hair out and brushed it. "You can come in, Shawn." she said. Shawn walked over to Jessica and sat next to her grinning an idiotic grin. "She will make it" he said suddenly wiping a tear from her eye. Annabelle looked at Amadeo and smiled, she walked over to a doctor, and asked how Kristen was. "Jake thinks I did it, doesn't he?" Jessica asked. Her voice was soft. "I'm sorry, but it doesn't look good. She's still unconscious, but we'll let you know when she wakes up." the doctor told her and then walked away. Amadeo held Annabelle close to him.

Annabelle shook her head in denial, "I have to see her" she said shoving the doctor out of her way. "Well, yes and no," Shawn started, "He think you could have prevented it by apologizing for something you never did, or knew you did, but he doesn't think you bashed her head if that what your asking"

"Just go away Shawn." Jessica mumbled, not meaning it. Amadeo caught her by the arm, then let go automatically before she could do something to hurt him. "Miss, you can't go in there, it's not allowed." the doctor protested, he also grabbed her by the arm, but Amadeo knocked him away from her and shoved him up against a wall, holding him by the throat. "Don't touch her!" he growled. He let go and shoved the doctor away; a little way's down the hall. "Get out of here, now!" he ordered.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me from you your heart that you really want me to go away, then and only then will I" Shawn said getting closer to her. Annabelle ignored the doctor and went toward Kristen's bed, she stroked her hair gently, and whispered, "You must live for the sake of Jake, I am now willing to let you go now, he loves you, I can see it in his heart, he loves you more than I love you, his is true passion, mine is for the sake of company, just like Jessica, Amadeo, and Donimic, you have to live to see him again" she stroked her hair again and kissed her on the forehead. Then walked back to Amadeo, "I can't tell if she is slipping or if she will live, either way I know that if she doesn't I am going to turn Jake, and make him make her, they love each other so much" she said and kissed him.

Jessica ignored Shawn for a minute or so, and then looked at him. "Why are you here? Is there something you wanted?" she asked him, trying to sound angry, but not able to. Amadeo kissed her back, then pulled her closer to him. He held her close to him for a few moments, and then let go. "We should see how Jessica is doing, don't you agree?" he asked.

"I wanted to make sure you were all right, I think...wait never mind we I shall wait in the near future to say it" Shawn said blushing.

"Yeah, we should, Kristen will be all right with Jake and Tomas for the time being." Annabelle said kissing Amadeo again.

"No, what was it?" Jessica asked. She stared I not his eyes and a slight smile came over her face. Amadeo again kissed her back, until he heard someone behind him. He turned around and saw the doctor. "What the hell are you two doing!?!?" the doctor said, shocked. Annabelle turned to the doctor and said plainly, "We are lovers" then she chuckled to herself, and kissed Amadeo again. "Nothing" Shawn said blushing deeply, "I want to save it for when you may think the same"

Amadeo smiled, and went over to the doctor who was staring at them, looking at Amadeo and glaring at him. He hit the doctor on the head, hard, and the doctor fell to the ground unconscious. "Come, we should leave now." he said, and took a giggling Annabelle by the hand. Jessica kept staring into Shawn's eyes. "No, please, tell me now." she said softly. She too moved a little closer to him, though she didn't realize that she was.

Shawn moved closer, "I don't want to screw it up, I want to tell you when I feel that you feel the same" he said softly. "Why did you hit the doctor?" Annabelle asked, "You know I love you and Lestat, but mostly you" she said looking away thanking the gods that she couldn't blush other wise one would have plastered itself on her face, "That why I was hostile when you showed up out of now where...I...didn't want to get hurt again" she said as she followed him.

"I did it to protect you, to protect us. He would have gone off and told a cop or something, and though I know you could get away, and that I could, I don't want to leave you again Annabelle." Amadeo told her as he led her to the hotel. "Well, here we are my love." he said as they got there. Jessica was smiling now, and still had not stopped staring into Shawn's eyes. "What do you mean by that? You'll have to tell me, or show me." she said to him.

Shawn leaned in closer and closed his eyes hoping not to rush thing. 'I love you' he thought but dared not to tell. Annabelle grabbed Amadeo's hand and pulled him up to the window outside of Jessica suite.

Amadeo stared inside at the two. "What the hell does she think she's doing?" he asked himself. Jessica leaned in until their lips met. She started kissing him, okay, more like frenching him. Annabelle motioned for Amadeo to be quiet, and silently slipped in there room, she silently hoped that they would progress a little further. Shawn wasn't surprised at the fact that they were frenching he loved her, but would not say it for he thought this was part of a grieving stage. Still it didn't hurt to french back, he had experience, for which he was shamed for but it help with Jessica.

He thought that if in fact she truly loved him he might be able to propose to her like Jake and Kristen. Jessica pulled back a little, still smiling. "I think I know what you meant." she said, then went back to frenching him again. Amadeo smiled and followed Annabelle without making a sound.

Shawn smiled oblivious to the company they were performing for.

Annabelle flashed Amadeo a loving smile and went to his side and hugged him, 'Such love they feel for each other' she said to Amadeo telepathically, though she was searching though both of there minds. Both were wondering where this would progress to, and the though made Annabelle feel ashamed, she was considering breaking it up or coming back the next night. While she was considering this she forgot to close her mind, and now anyone could read it, even her Amadeo.

Amadeo smiled back at Annabelle, and once again, he kissed her.

Jessica didn't realize that Annabelle and Amadeo were standing there, and she kept frenching Shawn. After a minute or two, she pulled away again. "Now, tell me, what did you mean, I think I know, but I need you to tell me anyways." she said.

"I...I-" he started but his head snapped to Annabelle and Amadeo standing right before them and they didn't even notice. Annabelle saw that they were discovered and stepped forward, begging Amadeo to follow. She sat on the chair and made her hands into a confident steeple. "If you want we can leave" she said innocently, "but I will always have my eye on you, even if I am sleeping I will be here." It wasn't a threat but a matter of fact for them.

Jessica glared at Annabelle. She moved away from Shawn a little, but not much. "What do you want now?" she asked rudely. "Only wondering how you were coping, you know she might not make it out, ALIVE" Annabelle said as blood tears rounded her corners, but before they progressed she moved into Amadeo grasp. Shawn blushed 'How long have they been there?' he wondered while Annabelle looked at him, "Oh since your make out session started, how have you been Shawn?" She was smiling an evil smile and her gaze pounced from Jessica to Shawn.

"Do you always spy on people?" Jessica asked, still being rude. "Out" Annabelle commanded to both Shawn and Amadeo.

Amadeo put an arm around Annabelle and kissed her forehead before stepping out to the balcony. "Honestly no, but I was wondering when the wedding would be," she chucked to herself before continuing, "I know you didn't do anything to Kristen, but I have to play the concerned parental figure, why did you have to so that to her when she tried to like you, but you just kept pushing her away, like you will do with Shawn. I know more about you than you know, I know you past, I know you now, but I don't completely know your future" "So..." Shawn said blushing at the sight of Amadeo, "You and Claudia?"

"Why would I push Shawn away? At least he didn't take me away from my home!" Jessica said. She had raised her voice. Amadeo stared down at the ground for a second, then looked at Shawn. "Yeah, so, tell me, how do you really feel about her?" he asked.

"It was that or kill you" Claudia lowering her gaze, "Kristen needed company, I wanted more company, and now that I have Amadeo back in my grasp and with Donimic is coming, I don't care about you anymore but I wonder just what Shawn would do if I 'accidentally' killed you?" She lied thought her teeth, "You don't know what he was thinking while you were kissing, but I do" Shawn looked at the door to the room, thinking where or not to burst in there steal Jessica and marry her there in Paris. "I love her, if I wasn't so unsure that she loved me-" he stopped unable to continue as he looked at Amadeo curious. "What are you?" he asked.

"W-what do you mean. What was a he thinking?" Jessica asked Claudia. Amadeo chuckled a little. "Awe, so you don't know. I'm like Annabelle, though she is a bit stronger." he answered. "I will think about telling you but you are so hostile with me I wonder if that is a good idea" she said. "A bit" Shawn laughed, "She has you trained like a dog, you do everything she tell you, boy your whipped" Shawn was laughing uncontrollably. Amadeo grabbed the collar of Shawn's shirt and shoved him up against a wall. "You might want to think twice before you say something like that to me again!" he growled. "Well excuse me for wishing that I had never come here!" Jessica almost screamed at Annabelle, though she meant not one word of it.
