Chapter 52…..
Kelly was sitting on the couch in her apartment,waiting for ryan to get back from his walk,when he finally walked in;"Hey."
"Are you okay?"asked she worried as he sat down next to her;"I was worried about you."
"I'm hardly okay."began her boyfriend tired;"My sister and my mother are both laying in the hospital,Kelly,my mom might not even pull through the night."
"You can't think like that!"answered Kelly and put her arms around ryan;"You have to stay positive,ryan!"
"What if she doesn't survive,Kelly,what then?"said he scared;"Then she will die thinking that I hate her and then she will never know that I came home or that I do love her!"
"She does know that,ryan,she knows that you only did those things and said those words because you were angry and that you didn't mean any of it!"started his girlfriend softly;"Your mother knows that you love her and she will get through this!"
"I hope so!"answered ryan with tears in his eyes as he pulled Kelly closer;"She can't die!"
At the hospital shawn was sitting next to devon's bed,holding her hand,as she began to wake up;"Shawn….?"
"Hey,sweety."smiled he,happy to see her awake again;"How are you feeling?"
"My stomach hurts and so does my head."said devon with a sore face;"I'm thirsty."
"Do you want me to call the nurse for a painkiller or something,devon?"asked her ex-boyfriend worried as he let her take a sip from the cup with water that was standing on the nightstand next to devon's bed;"Maybe she can give you something for the pain."
"No,stay!"started she softly and grabbed shawn's hand as he wanted to get up;"Where's mom?"
"She's in the hospital too."answered shawn;"What on earth were you thinking going downthere alone and with your mother's gun,devon,why didn't you atleast call me?"
"I guess I wasn't thinking."said his ex-girlfriend with a faint smile;"I didn't mean to worry you,shawn."
"Worry me?"asked he stuned;"You nearly scared me to death,devon,the thought of losing you drove me nuts!"
"I…."began devon slowly as she began to drift back to sleep;"I…."
"It's okay,baby,go back to sleep and I'll be right here."answered her ex-boyfriend while he gently kissed her;"It's all gonna be just fine."
Devlin walked into the house with mandy when they ran into jake;"Hi,dad,how is kristy doing?"
"Good."said he and walked out the door;"I'll be back later."
"What's up with your dad?"asked mandy surprised as they went into the livingroom;"Is your aunt that badly hurt?"
"No,I thought she was doing better or atleast that's what dad said lastnight."answered her boyfriend;"I don't know what's going on with him or with kristy lately,mandy,they've both been acting really weird and one minute they're happy and then all of a sudden upset."
"Do you think that there might be something going on between them?"started she hesitating;"Maybe that's why they've been acting so weird."
"Something going on between my dad and my aunt?"asked devlin surprised;"Where did you get that crazy idea?"
"Is it really that crazy?"asked his girlfriend;"Your dad and your aunt have been living under the same roof for more then a year now,devlin,it's possible that they have gotten really close and became more then friends."
"I don't know."answered he a bit uncomfortable;"I still think it's a crazy idea."
That evening adam had just been to see his daughter in her hospitalroom and was surprised to see two men standing outside of m.j.'s room in the i.c.u. when he got back;"Who are you guys and what are you doing here?"
"We're here to protect mrs. Cory."answered one of the men and stopped adam when he wanted to go into his wife's room;"You can't go in!"
"What….?"asked adam stuned and angry as well;"That is my wife's room and who are you to tell me that I can't go in?"
"I'm sorry,mr. cory,but we have orders not to let anybody in here!"said the other man;"Not unless they have clearance from our boss."
"This is crazy!"started he angry;"Who the hell is your boss?"
"I am."answered a voice behind adam and as he turned around he saw aaron standing there;"I'm sorry that you had to find out about this before I had a chance to tell you."
"Find out about what?"asked adam confused;"What the hell is going on,aaron,did you tell these two clowns that they can't let me see my own wife?"
"I told them not to let anybody in there without my permission."answered he and gave adam a piece of paper;"This explains everything."
"Hi,guys."said justin as showed up with ryan and saw the shocked look on his father's face;"Is everything okay,dad?"
"You son of a bitch!"yelled his father suddenly furious as he grabbed aaron's coat;"She's my wife damn it!"
"What is going on here?"asked his youngest son worried while he pulled adam away from aaron together with justin;"Dad?"
"I'm sorry,adam,I didn't do this to hurt you,but this is for m.j.'s own protection."answered aaron and walked away;"You can sit with your wife now if you want."
"Go to hell!"yelled he on after aaron;"Damn you!"
"What did aaron do?"started his oldest son just as worried as ryan;"What did he do?"
"He got custody of your mother,protective custody,and that means that he can make all the decisions right now!"said adam tired;"As long as she's unconcious he can do whatever he wants and I can't do a damn thing about it!"
Courtney was getting ready to go out with her friends when she heard shawn coming up the stairs and going into his room,so she went to check-up on him;"Hey,are you okay?"
"I'm fine."said her twinbrother with a faint smile as he layed down on the bed;"I'm just a bit tired,because it's been a long day."
"How were things at the hospital,shawn?" asked Courtney;"Were you there all day?"
"Yes,all day and almost the whole night too."answered he;"Jamie says that devon's gonna be okay and her mother seems to be stabile right now."
"Has devon woken up yet?"said his sister;"Did you talk to her?"
"Just for a few minutes earlier today,courtney,but Jamie already told me that it would probably be a few days before she'd be fully awake again."started shawn tired;"She could have died!"
"But she didn't."answered she;"Devon didn't die because you were there in time to rescue her and she's gonna be just fine."
"Is she?"asked her brother;"I was so scared when i found devon at that cabin,covered in blood."
"Devon's gonna be fine again,shawn,thanks to you!"said Courtney;"You saved her life!"
