Chapter 25….
The next day kristy woke up with a splitting headache,realizing that she wasn't laying in her own bed at home as she looked around,when she saw her sister standing outside of the room with jake and evan,so after some effort she got out of bed and stumbled towards the hallway;"Vicky…?"
"What are you doing out of bed?"asked her boyfriend worried as he quickly helped her back into bed;"You'r suppose to stay in bed untill Jamie says that it's okay!"
"You gave everybody a real scare yesterday when you disappeared like that for hours."started Vicky softly;"We were already on our way downhere when Nicole called us that evan had found you."
"Is dad really…?"whispered her sister scared;"Or was that all a bad dream,Vicky?"
"No,honey,it wasn't a dream and dad's really dead."answered she with tears in her eyes as she took kristy's hand into hers;"Carol survived the crash,but she's in a coma and they aren't sure if she's going to come out of that."
"Nobody really knows what happened yet or why your father crashed into that tree,but the police is looking into that right now and shane promised us that he'd let us know as soon as they find something."said jake;"He's on top of it."
Alex was having breakfast when her brother came into the kitchen;"What was that with Kevin all about lastnight,alex?"
"Nothing."answered she looking up;"Nothing for you to worry about."
"Are you guys having problems or something?"asked nick;"Did he do something to you"
"No,nick,he didn't do anything and just mind your own business!"said his sister irritated;"I don't ask you any questions about why cathy hasn't been around much these few days,do i?"
"I'm your big brother,so I'm suppose to ask questions like that and make sure that your boyfriend doesn't do anything to hurt you!"started he slowly;"Steve told me that Kevin quit his job."
"Steve's got a big mouth!"answered alex angry as she got up and walked away,out the backdoor,just as her parents'came into the kitchen;"I'm going over to ginny's."
"What was that all about?"asked their mother worried while she looked at her son;"Nick?"
"Nothing,mom,nothing at all."said he quickly and got up too;"Is Lindsay still asleep?"
"I think so."answered chad;"Alex seemed upset when she left just now,nick,are you sure that everything is okay?"
"Yes,dad,everything's fine."started his son lying and walked out the same way as his sister had before;"Bye,guys."
At the cory's devon woke up and looked with a smile at shawn,who lay next to her in bed;"Goodmorning."
"Goodmorning."smiled he back as they kissed;"Hmmm,I could get used to this."
"So could i."answered his girlfriend when,just as shawn pulled her on top of him,she heard her father's voice downstairs;"That's dad!"
"What is he doing home?"asked shawn surprised while devon jumped out to bed and started to get dressed;"What are you doing,devon?"
"I'm getting dressed and so should you!"said she and threw shawn's clothes down on the bed;"Get up and put your clothes on,shawn,if my dad finds you in my bedroom he'll go nuts."
"Isn't it already a bit late for that?"started her boyfriend teasing as he got up and pulled devon into his arms while he kissed her;"He's going to find out soon enough anyway."
"This isn't funny,shawn,we both agreed that it was better to wait before letting everybody know about us."answered devon irritated while she pushed shawn away when they heard adam coming up the stairs;"Hide in my closet or something."
"Yes,m'am."smiled he and quickly got into devon's wallcloset;"Your wish is my command."
"Be quiet!"warned his girlfriend him softly as her father's footsteps coming closer while she closed the door of her closet when there was a knock on the door;"Yes?"
"Goodmorning,honey,I made some breakfast."said adam while he opened the door;"Are you hungry,devon?"
"No,dad,I'm not hungry yet and I will grab something to eat before I go over to the hospital,but thanks anyway."answered she;"What are you doing home?"
"I spend another night at the hospital and realized that it was time to show my face downhere again,so from now in I'll be home every night and I'll go back to the hospital every morning after breakfast."started her father slowly as he turned around and walked away;"If you need a ride to the hospital then I'll see you downstairs."
"That was a close call."smiled shawn and came out of the closet as soon as he was sure that adam was downstairs and couldn't hear him anymore while devon closed her bedroom-door as he walked up to her and pulled her into his arms;"This sneaking around-stuff is kind of a turn on for me,devon,it's sexy."
"You're crazy!"said his girlfriend with a faint smile as she kissed him and put her arms around his neck;"We have to be more carefull from now on."
Shane was sitting in the kitchen when his daughter came downstairs;"Goodmorning,dad,where's mom?"
"She's still asleep."answered he;"Finally."
"Have you talked to shawn about what happened yet?"asked Courtney;"I waited up for him to come home lastnight,but after a while I gave up and went to bed."
"No,I haven't,Courtney,there was a message on the answering-machine from him when we got back from the hospital,saying that we was staying over at a friend's house."said her father as he got up;"Could you stay with your mother for a while?"
"Ofcourse."started she surprised;"Why?"
"I have to go down to the policestation for a while to see where things stand with the investigation on michael's accident."answered shane;"I just don't understand why he ran into that tree and there are also strange marks on the road that need to be looked into,so I'm going to make sure that my men do the best that they can and as fast as they can."
Just after noon lacey was talking to Cheryl and mary when steve came in and sat down;"Hi,guys."
"Hi,steve,you look a bit down today."said his grandmother;"Is everything okay?"
"No,not really."started he with a faint smile;"I still haven't found anybody to replace Kevin at the garage."
"I might know somebody."answered lacey hesitating;"If you're interested."
"Who?"asked her boyfriend's cousin surprised;"Do I know him or her,lacey?"
"Yes,you do,but I don't know if you'll be willing to hire him."said she;"Jesse."
"Jesse?"answered Cheryl;"Do you think that he would take the job if steve offered it to him?"
"If he were to be interested and if he was any good would you hire him then?"asked her mother curious as she turned towards her grandson;"Would you,steve?"
"Ofcourse,gran,why not?"laughed he;"I don't have anything against jesse and if he knows his way around a garage then he can have the job."
"Great."smiled mary and looked at lacey;"All we have to do now is convince jesse to stay here and take the job."
At the beach justin had been sitting in the sand with sage,enjoying a nice and romantic lunch,when she got up;"I have to get back to the hospital,justin,I have a meeting in twenty minutes."
"So soon?"asked he and got up too;"Are you sure that you can't stay a little while longer?"
"I wish that I could,but no can do."smiled his girlfriend and kissed him;"I didn't even really have time for this lunch,but I sneaked out for a while just to come downhere with you."
"Am I that irresistible?"started justin teasing while he pulled sage into his arms;"So then you must be real glad that I'm not going back to new York then,sage?"
"You're a real comedian."laughed she kissing him again before she turned serious;"Does this mean that you've really decided not to go back to new York again?"
"Would you mind if it meant just that?"asked her boyfriend;"Why go back to new York when everything that I want is right here,including a gorgeous girlfriend."
"You know that I wouldn't mind one bit,justin,but we've only been going out for a little over a week and things aren't that serious between us yet."answered sage;"I just don't want you to do something that you might regret later on."
"I'm serious about you and this relationship,even though we've just been going out for a little while,and I have been serious about it since the beginning!"said he;"I won't regret staying here,not now and not ever!"
Kristy was laying in her hospitalbed when evan came into the room;"Hi,honey,how are you feeling?"
"Fine!"answered his girlfriend irritated;"Have you talked to Jamie yet,evan,can I go home?"
"I have to talked to him,but he thinks that it's better if you stayed here for just one more night and so do i."started he hesitating;"You got pretty lucky lastnight that you didn't end up in a coma or something."
"No way that I'm going to stay here for one more second longer!"said kristy angry and wanted to get out of bed when evan pushed her back in;"I want to go home!"
"I know that you do,but do you really want to take the risk of ending up in a coma or even worse again?"asked her boyfriend;"It's just for one more night,kristy,that's all."
"That's one night too much!"answered she;"I want to go home,evan,right now!"
"Hi,guys."said Vicky as she came into the room with her husband;"How are you feeling,kris?"
"Fine!"started her sister angry;"I'm feeling fine and I want to go home,but they won't let me go!"
"Why not,evan?"asked jake surprised as he turned towards evan;"Is there something wrong with kris?"
"Kristy is fine now,but Jamie just wants to keep her here one more night to be on the safe side."answered he and walked away;"I need to get back to the e.r. and I'll be back later on."
"I won't be here later on!"yelled kristy on after him;"I'll be home then!"
"Be a good girl and stay where you are!"said her boyfriend with a faint smile as he left the room;"See you later."
