Hey y'all! Thanks so much for the reviews.
Chapter 6-
'How is she?' Hailey said honestly worried.
'The doctor says she's doing much better but she's still unconscious – there's nothing seriously wrong with her - but she did badly sprain her wrist when she was leaning on it.' Ryan replied. 'Marissa almost died because of my brother! That is the second time I have let him hurt her!'
'Ryan there was nothing you could do he hit you unconscious with a gun you couldn't of done anything – remember that's why you have 6 stitches in your head.'
'I know but-'
'No Ryan you can't blame yourself – the only person to blame here is Trey! And if you really cared you would make sure he will get what's coming to him!'
'Oh don't worry he will.'
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

'Hello nana – and how are you?'
'I'm fine Seth –now that $20 has not been checked in – I have told you before that I will not waste my time writing checks for you that you don't check in.' Sophie replied.
'Yeah, yeah sure look nana my dad's here would you like to talk to him?'
'Yes please put him on.'
'Hello Sanford.'
'Oh hello mom how's New York.' Sandy asked.
'Oh Sandy you would love to be here – there's no ocean – no Schwarzenegger – no Newpsies – no sun – no California – it's great – no Julie Cooper – Kirsten Nichol – No Hailey Nichol.'
'Why are you calling Kirsten – Kirsten Nichol?'
'To avoid nightmares.'
'Ha good one. I nearly died laughing.'
'And well I can understand Julie but what's Hailey got against you?'
'It's more what I have against the bad seed. She's a horrible person.'
'You've like met her twice – I think it's a bit early to make that judgment.'
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become
'Sanford – one of the things I taught you when I brought you up was: never to underestimate the woman who is a sister of you son's wife.'
'No you didn't.' Sandy answered confused. 'So are you doing chemo just now –are you in the hospital?'
'Well I meant too. And yes I'm in the hospital but moving on - I heard Ryan ran away with his girlfriend, how's Seth doing with that?'
'He's in denial just like Kirsten and Julie for that matter. None of us can handle it very well – but we're managing well enough and with Seth going to Rhode Island with Summer maybe that will take his mind of things – but Kirsten I just don't know who she's handling things so well.'
'Well anyway – hold on, the bad seed at 8:00. Got to go.
'Wait mom – hold on what about Hailey?'
But she was already gone.
Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

Ryan couldn't take it anymore Marissa nearly died – but now he had his missing brother to handle with – he broke down crying in the men's bathroom – but how sad was that – crying in the men's bathroom, just like Jimmy did when he went bankrupt on the night of the fashion show.
But now Ryan realised why Jimmy was crying.

'Hey! Hey bad seed! Hailey!' Sophie Cohen called out.
'Yeah, yeah what! Oh my god it's the nana! Call the cops!' Hailey said sarcastically.
'Ha good one – yeah what you doing here?'
'Supporting a couple of friends. What about you?'
'Well not that it's any of your business but I'm here for chemo – who's the friends?'
'A few from collage.'
'You haven't been to collage.'
Damn it Hailey!
'Yeah whatevs – there just a few old friends.'
'So how's life treating you kid?'
Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead
all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

'Mr Atwood, Mr Atwood!' The doctor called out. 'Ryan! You in here?'
The doctor opened the bathroom door only to find Ryan sitting on the toilet seat with his head in his hands – that were bleeding.
'Ryan, what have you done?'
'I'm brooding I always do it when I'm upset.'
'Ryan - come on I'll bandage up your hands.'

The doctor lead Ryan out of the bathroom and into his office, he bandaged up Ryan's hands and sat him down.
'Ryan I'm going to tell you this before you hear it from someone else.'
'What is it?' Ryan asked
'Well after the operation – Marissa's blood tests showed up something – something that you might not know.'
'Well what is it?' Ryan asked getting slightly worried.
'Mr Atwood where you aware that Miss Cooper was pregnant?'
'Pregnant?' Ryan asked looking into the sky with mixed emotions going on in his head.

I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
