Sitting in the hospital room where they were waiting for Melanie to wake up, Grissom says, "I'm gonna go get something to drink, you guys want anything?"
"Sure, I'll just have a bottled water," Sara answered her husband.
"Madison, hun, do you want anything?" Grissom asked the eleven-year-old.
When Madison didn't answer, he tried again, "Madison, sweetheart, do you want anything?"
After a few minutes of silence from Madison, she finally looked up at Grissom and said, "I'm sorry, please don't hurt me."
"It's ok Madison, its alright, I'm not going to hurt you, hun." Grissom told Madison, who got teary-eyed.
Bending down next to her, Grissom asked again, "Now, do you want anything to drink?"
"N-No thanks, I don't need anything," Madison answered as she tried calming down.
"Okay," Grissom said as he stood up, then continued, "I'll be right back."
Watching Grissom leave, Sara turned back to see Madison laying her head down by Melanie, and was holding her 'sisters' hand. Walking over to Madison, Sara asked, "Hey sweetie, do you need a blanket?"
"No thanks, I'm fine, I just want Melanie to wake up." Madison answered her.
"I know you do hun, she will though." Sara told her as she was rubbing small circles on the young girls back.
A few minutes later, Melanie woke up, and looked around the room., to see if anyone was in the room. When she didn't see anyone, she started to get tears in her eyes. Then she looked down at Madison, who was asleep by her side. Melanie then started to wake her "sister" up.
"Maddie, hey Maddie wake up," Melanie said as she lightly tapped her.
Feeling someone tap her, Madison woke up to see Melanie awake, "Melanie your awake." Madison said excitedly.
"Yeah, I am, are you the only one here?" Melanie asked.
"No, Sara, went to the bathroom, and Gil, went to go get some drinks for them both." Madison answered.
Few minutes later, Sara walked back into the room, and saw Melanie, who was now awake.
"Hey, kid, how ya feeling?" Sara asked her.
"Hi, I'm doing good, just really sore." Melanie answered her.
"Yeah, that's to be expected, especially, after what you went through." Sara told her.
About ten minutes later, Melanie's doctor came in to check her out. After the doctor checked Melanie out, he told her that she could go home tomorrow afternoon. Watching the doctor leave, Melanie looked over to Madison, who got quiet, when the doctor came in.
"Maddie, you okay?" Melanie asked her.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, I'm okay, really." Madison told her.
"No your not, something's bothering you, so spill it." Melanie told her somewhat sternly.
"I don't want to talk about it," Madison said as she tried holding back her tears.
"Come on Madison Elizabeth tell me." Melanie told her sternly this time.
"Fine, if you want to know so badly then fine, I'll tell you! It's my fault that David hurt you, and its also my fault that you're in the hospital. Everything is my fault! My life is screwed up, and David's right, nobody wants a screwed up kid!" Madison said as she busted out crying, and then ran out of the room.
Melanie started calling after Madison, then realized that it was pointless. Sara stood up and said, "Hey, its ok, I'll go check on her, she'll be fine."
"Okay," Melanie said, as she got comfortable on her bed.
Walking out of the room, Sara spots Madison, who was pacing back 'n forth in the hallway with tears running down her face. Once Sara got closer to her, Madison looked up, and somewhat ran to her, and just broke down crying.
"Hey, its ok hun, its alright." Sara told Madison as she was rubbing soothing circles on her back.
After Madison calmed down some, Sara walked her to the chairs in the waiting room. When they sat down Sara asked, "Wanna tell me what's wrong?"
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hands, Madison said, "Not really, but I might as well."
"Just take your time I'm not going anywhere." Sara told her as she rubbed her back soothingly.
"It was a few days after my seventh birthday, my parents took me to the zoo. After we got home, it was really late, my dad carried me up to my room, 'cause I feel asleep on the way home. I guess sometime that night, our house caught on fire, and I remember a firefighter carrying me outside, and I saw my mom and dad. It was later after I was at the hospital, that I found out my parents died., and I've been in foster care ever since." Madison said as she broke down crying.
"Awe, hun, I'm sorry, everything will be okay, alright?" Sara told her as she pulled Madison in her arms.
Madison just sat there crying on Sara's shoulders. Five minutes later Madison sat up, and dried her eyes. Then said, "I'm sorry for getting your shirt wet."
"Its ok hun, don't worry about it. Want to go see Melanie now?" Sara asked her.
"Yeah," Madison answered quietly.
Melanie's room…Waling back into Melanie's room, Madison went over to the side of the bed and said, "I'm sorry Melanie."
"Its okay Mad's, you okay now?" Melanie asked her.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Madison, answered.
"Good." Melanie said, smiling as she laid back.
"You sure you're okay Mel?"
"Yes, Maddie, I'm fine."
"I just.. you know, wanted to be sure." Madison said, smiling a tiny bit.
"I know Mads. I'll always be fine, okay? I'll always be fine. No matter what." Melanie paused. "I'll protect you in every way, that I possibly can. I promise."
"Thanks Melly, but I should be promising you that as well."
"Aw, you always do protect me Maddie. That thing last night with David, was nothing."
Madison gets a little defensive and angry.
"Nothing?! You call that NOTHING?! What the hell Melanie? THAT wasn't nothing!" Madison voice raised a little.
"Madison, calm down girl! Okay, so it was something, but that isn't the worse he can do. That is what I meant." Melanie said, trying to calm her down.
"Mel, he's never put us in the hospital before. Not for this long. Just for something broken maybe, but this is as bad as it gets."
"I have to disagree. He could've killed you, killed me, or even his wife. He's angry, he's drunk. I just wished I knew why." Mel said, curious of why David was really angry all the time.
"If you ever come close to him to even find out, I'll kill you both. You hear me? I will Melanie. Well, okay, so I'll kill him, but it'll be a lesson you learned." Madison paused. "Do you understand me? Do you Melanie?"
"Yes Maddie, I do. Seriously though, come on, wouldn't you like to know?"
"I would, but let's leave that to the police."
Melanie nodded. Either way, she'd find out.
Madison yawned.
"Tired?" Melanie asked, smiling.
"You have no idea."
"Come up here. There's plenty of room." Mel patted the spot beside her on the bed.
"You sure?" Madison looked a little worried about getting up on the bed.
"Positive."
"Ookay." Madison said, as she made her way up on Mel's bed, and got comfortable.
After a few minutes of laying in the dark, with the hospital's hall lights flowing through the blinds, a voice called out.
"I love you Madison."
Silence.
"I love you too Melanie."
Silence.
'I'll always love you Maddie.'
'I'll always love you Mel.'
