Around 9:45 p.m.
Oliver is just relaxing on his bed when his cell phone rings. On the second ring he answers.
Oliver: Hello!
Barbara: Hi Oliver!
Oliver: Hi Mom! What is up?
Barbara: I think it would be a good idea for you to get away for a week or so!
Oliver: I'm not sure about that!
Barbara: I have already discussed this with Lieutenant McBain, and he thinks it a great idea.
Oliver: Mom, I know you think I might need to go away, but I really don't.
Barbara: Yes, you do!
Oliver: Mom, I have to be at the arraignment for Nick.
Barbara: No, you don't!
Oliver: Mom, I have to.
Barbara: Why would you want to?
Oliver: Because I don't hold a grudge for what Nick did to me.
Barbara: Oliver, you must feel angry at what he did to you.
Oliver: Yes, but Nick only did that because Kyle broke his heart to be with me.
Barbara: Yes, but I can't forgive him now for what he did to get revenge on you.
Oliver: I know but right now I need you to support the decision I'm making now.
Barbara: Okay! Let me know when Nick's arraignment is so I can be there to support you.
Oliver: Okay!
Barbara: After that we're going on a little trip somewhere nice and relaxing.
Oliver: Okay! Bye Mom!
Barbara: Bye son!
Then he ends the call seconds later.
Around 10:30 p.m.
Oliver falls asleep with Bella lying on his stomach. Seconds later Kelly checks to see if he is asleep, and when she does she heads to the kitchen to get a drink of water.
Hours later
Wednesday
9 a.m.
John McBain is sitting in the interrogation room with Nick Chavez. Seconds later he starts to ask a question.
John: Are you really sorry for what you did to Oliver?
Nick: Yes, I am!
John: Why should I believe you?
Nick: Because I decided to do the right thing by turning myself in.
John: Or maybe you did this to gain Oliver's trust so the next time you might try to do something worse to him.
Nick: I'm not planning on doing anything.
John: Well, I don't believe you.
Nick: That is fine. So, when am I going to have my arraignment?
John: I don't know but you will know when I find out.
Nick: Okay!
Meanwhile Oliver and Kelly are discussing his Mom taking him away for a week or a little longer.
Kelly: It is a great idea.
Oliver: Well, maybe.
Kelly: Would you rather have Kyle go with you?
Oliver: I would really like that, but we're not in a relationship right now.
Kelly: Yes, but why don't you ask him if he wants to go.
Oliver: I don't think Kyle could go anyway.
Kelly: Because of the fact that he just got a second chance at going back to medical school again?
Oliver: Yes, so he really can't right now take the time off to go.
Kelly: So, you are really supportive of Kyle wanting to become a doctor?
Oliver: Yes, I am!
Kelly: Okay! So, I was thinking that today we could take a drive to the next town.
Oliver: What for?
Kelly: Because I think you need to get out of Llandview for the day. How do you feel about that?
Oliver: Good!
Kelly: Okay! How about we leave in ten minutes?
Oliver: That would be a great idea.
Kelly: I think you should leave Bella at the apartment.
Oliver: I don't know!
Kelly: Bella will be fine! Put her in the cage with her food, water, and toy.
Oliver: She will be okay by herself?
Kelly: Yes!
Oliver: Okay!
About ten minutes ago
Oliver checks to make sure Bella is okay before he leaves with Kelly. When he is sure that she is, they leave the apartment.
Sometime later
It is about 12 p.m.
Oliver and Kelly are in Bayer County picking apples.
Kelly: Don't you think this is fun?
Oliver: Yes!
Kelly: Good! I'll use some of the apples to make a pie for dessert tonight.
Oliver: That would be good! So, how much longer are we going to be picking apples?
Kelly: Maybe a half an hour more.
Oliver: Okay!
Meanwhile in Llandview
Kyle is having lunch with Roxy at the Buenos Diaz Café.
Roxy: So, Nick is in jail?
Kyle: For now!
Roxy: What do you mean?
Kyle: Oliver is going to help Nick.
Roxy was shocked for a moment but wanted to know the reason Oliver wanted to help Nick.
Kyle: Oliver thinks Nick should go to a hospital to receive treatment for what he did, instead of going to prison.
Roxy: How do you feel about that?
Kyle: I would want him to go to prison.
Roxy: Does Oliver know this?
Kyle: Yes, he does! We had a little argument but we're past it.
Roxy: So, you would support Oliver with the decision that he wants?
Kyle: Yes, I would!
Roxy: Then isn't about time you two got back together?
Kyle: If we did is it the right time to?
Roxy: Yes, I think it is.
Kyle: Then what is stopping me from doing it?
Roxy: I think you're still afraid that Oliver will hurt you again.
Kyle: Yes, but I do want him back. I'm just not sure when the right time it should be at.
Roxy: Let me ask you something really important.
Kyle: Which is?
Roxy: What if Oliver was still in a coma? How would you feel about that?
Kyle: Not happy!
Roxy: Kyle, there is no such thing as the right time. If you do want to be with Oliver then you have to take charge of the situation, because you never know what could happen next.
Kyle: Well, you do make a good point Roxy.
Roxy: Just take what I said to heart.
Kyle: Okay!
Hours later
It is about 3 p.m.
Oliver and Kelly are back at the apartment.
Kelly: Didn't I tell you that Bella would be okay?
Oliver: I know! It's just I feel I have really become attached to having a pet.
Kelly: I think that is wonderful. So, should we eat something?
Oliver: First I'm going to take a shower and then I'm going to take a nap.
Kelly: So, I guess that means we'll have dinner later on?
Oliver: Yes, it does.
Kelly: Okay!
Then he heads to take a shower.
