Everyone got in the car in silence. Eli was the first to talk. "Are all of you going straight home or do I need to drop you off some where's?" He asked obviously annoyed.

"We need to drop by mom's to pick up some things." Jessie said.

"I need to go home." Zoe said.

"I need to be dropped off at Faith's." Grace said aggravated.

"You were just at Faith's." Eli said.

"If I had a price to give you I would but since I don't I'm just going to clap for you for being so observant." She said as she clapped her hands. "Now I'm not asking a lot here just drop me up at Faith. Can you do that?" She asked sarcastically.

"Sure." He said back annoyed.

Henry was waiting for his next patient when he started to think back on the last days. He had done something he never thought he would do. He had started dating one of his patients. He knew he should not have but he could not help him self. He liked Karen too much. He knew he had two choices one break up with her, which he did not want to do or two stop being her physical therapist. The second was something he could accept but he would have to explain to his boss why he was doing this. That would be hard. Henry heard the door open and turned around. His patient was being rolled in. He would have to decided what to do later.

"Grace, are you ok? When you called and said you needed to meet with me I was a little shocked." Faith said as she sat down.

Grace's tears started to flow. "No, I'm not. Eli and I had a fight and I'm not sure that we'll ever be ok again."

"I'm sorry, I was afraid this was going to happen." Faith said. "I warned him…"

"You did what?" Grace asked a little shocked.

"I warned him that if you two were to break up or even go in separate directions that you might go back to what you were originally after the rape." Faith said.

"You are here to help to me and I'm allowing that but you really had no right to tell Eli anything. If you were worried about me then tell me that. He doesn't need to have to worry about that." Grace said.

"Grace, I'm sorry. I really didn't think you'd be this upset about it." Faith said.

Grace sat back down. "I should not really be, I know you were just really trying to look out for me. It just with everything that happened this morning, I just can't take anything else any more."

"I understand, so what exactly happened?" Faith asked.

Grace started to tell Faith what happened.

Tiffany was sitting at the couch feeding Maddie. She started to think about Jake. For some reason, he was pushing her away. She did not want him to and she knew she had to tell him that. She was not sure she could though. She liked having Jake around and she knew that. She knew that Maddie and her would be better off having him around than not. How could she get her self to say that to him? She was not sure she could. Maddie started to cry and she decided she was going to have to think about this later.

"What you up to?" Zoe asked as she came into the kitchen where Lily was cooking and Rick was working at the table.

"I'm trying to cook something but I think I'm going to stop because the last time I was cooking and you came in it got ruined. So what do you have to say?" Lily asked as she took the pot of the stove.

"I just wanted to talk. Plus I wanted to see if the two of you ever decided to apologize to Eli and Grace." Zoe said.

Lily put the food back on the stove and started to cook again.

"Do they want us to?" Rick asked.

"Well they aren't talking to each other or really any one for that fact but I think you need to apologize to them." Zoe said.

"Why do you care?" Lily asked.

"Because they are just such a cute couple and so much in love." Zoe said and once she realized what she said she tried to correct her statement. "I meant they are such good friends…."

"A cute couple!" Lily said in shock.

"In love!" Rick said.

"I didn't…. I mean…. Mom, you're food it's burning." Zoe said.

Lily looked back at the food and Zoe started to leave. "Don't you dare go any where's! Sit."

Zoe sat back down.

 "Too bad you were almost out of here." Rick said smiling at her.

"You explain yourself and Rick go order some Tai food." Lily said to Zoe and Rick.

"Please just let me go." She begged. Jessie and Katie walked in laughing.

"Jessie knows what's going on!" Zoe said and Lily and Rick looked at her.

"What are you talking about?" Jessie asked.

"Do you know anything about Eli and Grace?" Rick asked.

"You little weasel." Jessie said to Zoe.

"I wasn't going down alone." Zoe said smiling.
