Chapter 54….
At the hospital kristy was waiting for news of her doctor about being able to go home when devlin came in;"Hi,kris,how are you feeling?"
"Not bad."said she with a faint smile;"Shouldn't you be in school?"
"I have the first period off and I came to see how you were doing."started her nephew hesitating;"Did you and dad have a fight last Saturday?"
"What makes you think that?"asked kristy worried about what jake might have said to his son;"Did your dad say anything,devlin,did he tell you we had a fight?"
"Ofcourse he didn't,kristy,my dad never tells me stuff like that,but I could tell by the way he was when he came home and about the way he's been eversince."answered he;"Not that I see much of him lately,because eversince last Saturday he leaves the house at the crack of dawn and doesn't come home untill late at night and when I do see him he doesn't say much."
"Does he still want to move out?"said his aunt;"Does he?"
"I don't know,kris,he doesn't say much."began devlin softly;"What is going on between you two lately?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about,devlin,it'll be okay."promised she;"You just have to give it some time."
Just before noon lacey was working at mary's place when her boyfriend walked in with an angry look on his face;"Hi."
"Hi,jesse,what happened?"asked lacey worried;"Did something happen at the garage?"
"No,at the hospital where I went to see m.j. just before I came downhere."answered he;"Those damn guys wouldn't let me in to see her."
"Why not?"started his aunt,who had just came out of the kitchen and had heard what jesse had just said;"I thought that aaron had made sure that they'd let all of us in to see m.j. whenever we wanted to?"
"According to one of those guys the doctor has forbidden any visitors for today."said jesse;"Adam was there too and he'd just gotten back from seeing devon and they refused to let him in to see m.j. as well."
"But that is crazy."answered his girlfriend shocked;"She's his wife and your mother,so you guys have every right to see her."
"What did adam do when they wouldn't let him in?"asked Kathleen;"And what did you do,jesse?"
"We both kind of freaked out and wanted to throw those guys out of there and force our way in,but then Jamie and sage showed up and took us with them to calm down."started he slowly;"Adam went to find aaron to give him a piece of his mind."
"This is getting so weird."said his aunt worried;"Aaron gets to decide things about m.j. and we can do nothing about it."
"I'm not gonna take it for long and neither will adam!"answered jesse;"Aaron doesn't deserve a right to get a say in any of this and this damn protective witness-crap is just an excuse to control his ex-girlfriend."
Jake had skipped lunch and was working in his office when devlin walked in;"When are you gonna tell me what is going on,dad?"
"Excuse me?"asked he looking up;"Didn't we teach you how to knock?"
"I want to know what is going on between you and kristy!"said his son;"I have asked kristy this morning,but she doesn't give me a straight answer either and I'm fed up with it!"
"You talked to kristy?"started jake uncomfortable;"What did she say,devlin?"
"She didn't say anything,dad,not a damn thing!"answered he annoyed;"But I'm not stupid and I know something is going between you two!"
"Everything will be fine again."said his father;"I have decided that we're gonna move back to L.A."
"Back to L.A.?"asked devlin shocked;"You can't be serious,dad,no way!"
"You used to love L.A."answered he;"I thought you'd be thrilled to go back."
"I don't want to go back,dad,I want to stay here!"started his son angry;"I have a girlfriend here,a lot of friends and my family is here!"
"You will get new friends there and maybe even a new girlfriend."said jake tired;"Moving back to L.A. is the right thing to do and that's what we're gonna do,devlin,as soon as possible."
"There's no way that I'm moving back there,dad,you can just forget about it!"answered he and walked away,furious;"If you want to go then go,but I'm staying right here!"
"Devlin!"called his father on after him frustrated;"Damn it!"
At the cassidy's shawn was on his way out of the house when he ran into his sister,who just came back from the store;"Hi,shawn,are you going to see devon at the policestation?"
"No,I went there this morning."said he;"I'm going to talk to dad about letting me go back to work again."
"Are you okay?"asked Courtney worried when she saw the sad look in shawn's eyes;"Did something happen at the hospital?"
"I tried to talk to devon about what I realized when I almost lost her,courtney,but she didn't want to talk about it."started her brother slowly;"She said that she couldn't right now."
"You can't blame her for that."answered she;"Come on,shawn,she almost got killed twice now and her mother might die,so she's got enough on her mind without having to sort out where you two stand."
"I guess you're right,but that doesn't make it easy and I wish I could just turn back the clock to…"said shawn tired;"I have been such a jerk and if I could do it all over again I would."
"Why did you guys break up anyway?"asked his sister curious;"What did you do that made devon end things with you,shawn?"
"She turned out to be pregnant and I reacted like a total jerk."answered he a bit ashamed;"Not long after that she had a miscarriage and she thought I was happy about it,so after a while devon decided it wasn't working between us anymore and ended things."
"Omg."started Courtney shocked;"Poor devon."
"I just want to get past everything that has happened and hope that devon still loves me enough to want to try again."said her brother softly;"I love her,court,I really do!"
"I know,shawn,I know."answered she;"Devon loves you too and maybe you guys can work everything out again,but you need to give her some space to deal with what has happened without pushing her."
That afternoon shane was walking towards m.j.'s hospitalroom when he heard loud voices coming from the next corner,so he rushed overthere and saw adam being held by the two men standing infront of m.j.'s room as aaron stood there with a bloody nose and quickly he pulled his friend away from the men;"What is going on here?"
"He won't let me see my wife!"yelled his friend angry and tried to attack aaron again;"This is what you have been waiting for,isn't it?"
"This is only for your wife's best interest!"said aaron as he made sure that he wasn't near enough adam for him to attack him again;"She's in a bad way,adam,so this is what she needs and if you don't believe me then just ask the doctor!"
"The doctor will say what you want him to say!"answered he;"She's my wife damn it!"
"This isn't right,aaron,you can't do this!"started his friend stuned as he looked at aaron;"You can't keep adam away from his wife!"
"I can and I will if it's what's best for her!"said he when they suddenly heard alarmbells going off in m.j.'s room and his team rushed in there with a crashcar.
"What the hell is going on?"asked adam scared and wanted to go into m.j.'s room;"What's wrong?"
"Stay here!"answered shane worried as he grabbed adam just as the two men wanted to prevent him from going into his wife's room;"Let them do their jobs,adam,you'd only be in the way!"
"But…!"started he softly and let shane take him to a chair and sat down;"What is happening?"
"I don't know."said his friend as he sat down next to adam;"I'm sure that the doctor will tell you as soon as they are done in there."
