PART TWO- Life or Death
Chapter 1- A frantic search
Sam ran up the stairs of the Crane house in the freezing cold and knocked on the door.
The maid came. "Is Luis here?" he asked anxiously.
"Yes." she said. "How can I help you."
"Get me him quick!" Sam exclaimed. "Its an emergency!"
The maid rushed to get Luis.
Luis came to the door followed by Ethan, Gwen, Theresa, Fox, and Sheridan.
"Hey Sam. What is it?" he asked. He noticed Miguel, David and John behind him. "Whats going on?" he asked, confused.
"Kay ran away...In the blizzard."
"What?!" asked Luis. "Its crazy out there, I'm surprised you even got here."
"I know! Luis we need to look for her! Charity had a premonition, Kay dying in the snow. We were all mad at her before she left. We yelled at her and told her we never wanted to see her again. I 'm afraid thats going to come true, and she wont know how much I love her! Imagine! The last thing I said to my daughter was that I didnt feel like talking to her."
Everyone stood in shocked silence. "O-of course I'll help you!" Luis exclaimed.
"Oh Miguel!" Theresa said hugging her brother. "Will she be okay?"
"I hope so Theresa. I told her before she left that I hoped that she would die a slow painful death. I fear that my thought will come true!"
"Nonsense Miguel! She will be fine. Have faith."
"My sister!" exclaimed Ethan, Gwen touched his arm. "I have to help!"
"I'll help too." nodded Fox. For once in his life, he was serious.
"You better not whine about the cold." Ethan said to his brother, glaring.
"I wont!" insisted Fox.
"Where's Grace..how is she?" asked Sheridan.
"She's home with Jessica, Charity and Simone. Simone called her parents. TC's going to meet us here, with Chad, and Whitney and Eve went to stay with Grace. She's beside herself with guilt. She feels that shes responsible for Kay running away."
"I'll go stay with her." Sheridan insisted.
"Me too," Gwen nodded.
"I will too." Theresa agreed. "We will get hot chocolate and warm blankets ready for when you come back. Please try hard!"
TC got back, and the women headed over to The Bennett house.
Kay struggled through the blizzard, wincing as the cold stung her open face. She clutched her stomach, which was in terrible pain. She took a few more steps, and looked around. She couldn't see anything. The wind was too cloudy with snow. She had no idea where she was. The pain was too much.
She fell to the ground, holding her stomach in pain. She got suddenly very warm and numb.
This was how she and her baby were going to die.
This was her punishment. Her punishment, for being so evil.
Guess Miguel would get his wish. She and her baby would die a long and painful death.
She wondered if they discovered that she was gone yet. They probably didn't care anyways. No one cared about her. No one would come to her funeral.
"Please god." she whispered quietly. "If you let me live, I promise I will be a new person. I will never plot against anyone again. I'll be good. And I'm never going back on this promise ever. I swear. Not like I did before, this time I'm serious. I just want to live... Even if I have nothing left here to live for. I'm too scared to die..." and with that last whisper her eyes shut. She blacked out. Only god could decide whether she would live or die.
Chapter 2- Happy Discovery
"KAYYYY!" Miguel yelled over the icey feild. He, Sam, Ethan and Fox were looking in the nearby feilds and by the ports. David, John, TC, and Luis were looking in the town, while the police were doing house searches. "We'll never find her!" he cried.
"Dont say that Miguel!" Ethan exclaimed. "We have to find my sister."
They ran over to the ports.
"Maybe she's here." Fox suggested.
"We have to look." Sam said determinely. "Everywhere."
"KAY!" Fox yelled.
"KAY! ITS ETHAN!" hollored Ethan.
"We're never going to get anywhere by ourselves. Our voices are so quiet." Sam pointed out.
"Your right." Said Fox. "Lets yell all together."
"By my count." said Miguel. "one...two....THREE."
"KAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" they all yelled in unison at the top of their lungs.
No answer. They reached the port. No one else was there, since everyone was in their homes.
"Ahh I understand." said Fox.
"What?" asked an exasperated Ethan. "This is no time to think about other matters!"
"Its plently time." Fox mused wisely. "Its windy, going the opposite way. Our voices are being carried backwards, to nothing."
"You know what? I think he's right." sighed Sam.
They looked around. Just then, in the darkness, Miguel spotted a heap, laying on the ground.
Without anyone else seeing, he ran over to it.
It was Kay. She was tinted blue and her eyes were closed. She was clutching her stomach, and her bag was laying on the ground.
"I FOUND HER!" he yelled out. He scooped up Kay into his arms. Sam, Ethan and Fox ran over.
"Is she alright?" asked Fox.
"I dont know." Miguel said sadly. "She's unconcious."
"Lets get her to a hospital quick!" exclaimed Ethan. "I'll call Doctor Russell and tell her to get over to the hospital with everyone else...then I'll call Luis and the other search party. Come on, we have to get her there quickly!"
Miguel ran through the field carrying Kay in his arm. Fox, Ethan and Sam followed.
"Please Kay. Please hold on." he looked up to the sky, and whispered. "Oh, God, if you let her live I will never ignore her again. I promise. I'll take full responsibility for her and the baby... that is if the baby lives."
Back at the Bennett house, Grace had explained the happenings to everyone. Everyone felt sorry for Grace but agreed that they had been to harsh on Kay.
"I never really liked her or gave her a chance." Theresa said sadly. "I really regret that. She seems like a nice, missunderstood person."
"All she ever wanted was to be loved." Charity said quietly. "Everythings my fault. If only I hadn't come to the town--"
"Stop, Charity. Its not your fault." said Jessica. "I know this does sound harsh but Kay brought everyone's madness on herself. She doesn't deserve to die in a blizzard, but she did deserve a wake up call."
"Still, I dont want her to remember me as the girl who slapped her." Charity said sadly.
Just then the phone rang. Grace jumped for it.
"What...you did? THANK GOD. Oh, oh yes, we'll be there as soon as we can."
"What, what is it?" Simone asked, eager on news of her best friend.
"Kay was found by the port. She was unconcious, but they found her. They're bringing her to the hospital, and we should go there now."
They all grabbed their coats and ran for the door.
"I hope she's alright Aunt Grace." said Charity.
"So do I, Charity. So do I."
Chapter 3- If Only
All the women rushed into the hospitals to find all their husbands, boyfriends, friends ect sitting on the chairs awaiting Kay's fate.
"Miguel!" Charity yelled running over to her boyfriend. "Is Kay alright?"
"I don't know." he said quietly.
"What happened?" she asked, taking his hand, as she sat beside him.
"I was the first to find her." he whispered. "I came over to where I saw a shadow and saw her body. She was tinted blue, and her lips were chapped. Her eyes were closed and she was holding her stomach. It was horrible, seeing her so lifeless...and to know that I'm what caused it?"
"Miguel!" Charity insisted. "Don't do that to yourself! You know it was all of us, not just you." "You have nothing to feel bad about. She didnt love you."
"Miguel! I called her names and I slapped her. I was just so mad. I didn't think I could ever do that to a living person ever in my life.." Miguel just nodded at that.
"I can't believe what I said, though."
"What did you say exactly?"
**FLASHBACK**
Next was Miguel. Her beloved Miguel.
"I dont know what happened with you Kay." he said quietly. "Before we were such good friends, you were such a nice person. Somehow it all changed. I dont recognize the person in front of me. I can't believe you would do this much to cause pain to Charity. I love her so much, and if you truly loved me you would let me be happy with her. I cant even list all the mean things you've done. You've caused misery and sorrow. Kay thats you! Misery and sorrow! Thats what follows you everywhere! I HATE YOU KAY BENNETT. I HATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I HATE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME. I HOPE YOU AND THE BABY DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH. WHEN YOUR DYING I'LL COME IN WITH CHARITY AND WE'LL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!!!" he spitt angrily then ran out of the room.
**END OF FLASHBACK**
"Oh." Charity said slowly.
"So you see, she has so much reason to hate me. I hope she doesnt die.. Oh please god don't let her die! Please..."
"I'm going to check on Aunt Grace, okay Miguel?" Charity whispered.
Miguel nodded, he was getting closer to Charity, but he couldn't think of that. Not when Kay and his baby's lives were at stake.
He put his head in his hands and thought. If she died, he would never, ever forgive himself.
"Hey, little brother." said Luis, putting his hand on Miguel's shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he asked, sitting beside Miguel.
"Yeah..I think I'll be ok. Its Kay that we have to be worried about."
"Relax, I'm sure she'll be fine."
"But she's going to hate me!"
"Why? You didn't make her go out in the cold."
"Yeah, but I said some really mean things to her that caused her to live. I feel partially responsible."
"Why would you do that Miguel? To your best friend Kay?"
"I found out all the bad things she did."
"Oh yeah, I heard about that from Theresa."
"Theresa? How does she know?"
"Grace told her."
"Oh...Alright." there was silence.
"Miguel? Why do you care about Kay so much?" Luis asked.
"Shes my best friend Luis!"
"I dont think shes just your friend." Luis said, a wise smirk on his face.
"What do you mean?" asked Miguel defensively. "I love Charity. We are meant to be together, its called Fate, Luis. You should know about that."
"Sometimes fate is overrated, Little brother. Think about it."
"I see what you mean." Miguel nodded. "I will think about it."
"Okay." Luis patted Miguel on the back. "I've leave you to your thoughts."
Why would Luis think that he cared about Kay? Obviously he loved her like a friend, and cared about her deeply, she WAS his best friend after all... But was there something more..?
*FLASHBACK*
"Kay, what are you doing here?" Miguel asked as she stepped into his room.
"I'm here to see you Miguel." Kay said with a sexy smirk on her face.
"Well, what do you want?" Miguel asked impatiently, as he sat on his bed.
Kay softly shut the door and sat beside him, smiling an evil smile. "Well..." he asked. "What Kay? What is it?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Kay said innocently.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
It didn't just stop there though. He had done something stupid that night. Hurt Kay badly, and he hadn't talked to her since, except when he yelled at her..
*FLASHBACK*
~~Later~~
"Of course Kay. I don't hate you. I love you. Your my best friend in the world."
"Really?" she asked. He nodded. "It makes me feel so much better to hear you say that. She pretended to wipe a tear from her eyes.
His face was close to her's now. He brought her chin up softly with his finger.
"It's ok." he whispered. This was it. The time to act.
She brought her face closer and closer to his. Their lips touched. She was kissing him. Soft sweet simple kisses that made her stomach flutter and her heart beat rapidly.
He pulled away, and looked down.
"That was a mistake." he mumbled.
"No it wasn't miguel!" Kay exclaimed, forcing him to look her in the eye. "You did it because you love me. You know you love me." He shook his head, doubt and descisions clouding his eyes. "Look me in the eye..and tell me you don't love me." she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I dont love you." he simply stated, looking directly into her pools of blue.
She softly cried. Miguel looked away, not wanting to watch.
"Now..." he said coldly. "Get. Out."
"What?" she asked her voice breaking with emotion.
"GET OUT NOW!" he yelled with anger. Kay ran out of the room sobbing, and out the front door.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
He has been such a jerk to her too many times. Why has he done this? Why was he being so distant to his best friend? She's not perfect. She has made many many horrible mistakes. But she's only human, a very sad, lonely person who needs love. He felt something that he couldnt explain.
Somehow he wanted to be the one, to help her feel like she could be loved.
Maybe he could change her. He could make her into a better person.
He could love her for who she was, he knew everything about her--at least he used to.
It had all changed when Charity came to town, but he wanted to make up for not being there for her. If only he was there for her, still close to her, she wouldn't be so destructive and hateful.
He was the one who caused her rift with her mom, her sister, her friend Simone. He was the one who drove her to hurt someone he loved very much, Charity.
He still loved Charity. It hurt thinking of her not in his life, yet he had a special spark with Kay that he hadn't had with Charity. Was it possible to be falling for Kay? To be in love with TWO women at the same time? Maybe... he wasnt sure which one he was meant to be with, but he would find out.
Chapter 4- A fresh Start
"She's ready to see you know." Eve Russell, told Sam and Grace.
Everyone was sitting around the waiting room, and when the doctor had come, everyone stood up eagerly.
"Is she okay?" asked Charity, as she rushed over to Doctor Russell.
"Not yet, but she will be, Charity." she smiled warmly.
"Is the baby okay?" asked Miguel.
Eve's face fell. "We're not sure yet, Miguel. But it doesnt look good."
Miguel fell to his knees weakly. His eyes brimmed with tears. His baby, his first baby.
He should be releaved, happy that he wouldnt have to take over so much responsibility, but he wasnt. He was downright crushed.
"Mijo!" Pilar rushed over to her son, and helped him to his face. "Are you alright son?"
"My baby." Miguel whispered. "My...first baby...dying?"
"No, Miguel. No the baby will not die. We will pray for him or her."
"Was it a girl or boy?" Miguel asked, his eyes filled with tears.
Eve russell, was crushed and replied in a weak voice,
"A girl. Still is a girl, Miguel. Theres a chance that we will save her."
"What are the chances?" asked Miguel.
"About 50/50." sighed Eve.
"Feeling lucky?" muttered Fox under his breath, which received glares from Ethan and Gwen.
"I need to see her. I need to see Kay." Miguel said urgently.
"Miguel," Doctor Russel, stated. "Sam and grace are with her now. You, Charity, Jessica and Simone are next. She requested you."
"Can I see her by myself too please?" he asked.
"I don't know, you'll have to ask her."
He nodded.
Then Sam and Grace came out of the room, their faces downcast with sadness of hurting their daughter, but small smiles were on their faces. She was okay.
"How is she?" Miguel asked eagerly.
"Better. Much better." Grace smiled. "She forgives me." Tears welled up in her eyes. "She actually forgives me. I love that girl so much." Sam whispered to her, and took her over to the chairs to comfort her, which, of course, was observed by David and Ivy.
"Can we see her now?" asked Jessica.
"Sure." Eve smiled. She let Jessica, Simone, Charity and Miguel into Kay's room. There was Kay, laying in bed, weak looking, her light brown hair hanging limply at her shoulders. Her face was pale, her lips chapped, and she had lost the sparkle in her eyes.
"Kay!" Jessica rushed over to her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah Jessica." Kay whispered, smiling slightly. "I'm fine. Just feeling stupid."
"You arent stupid Kay." Simone said taking her hand.
"We're sorry, especially me for hurting you. Will you ever forgive us?"
"Of course. If you can forgive me for hurting you." she said quietly.
"Obviously we will!" exclaimed Simone, she patted her hand. "We love you Kay, so much. DONT ever do that again! You scared us to death!"
Kay then noticed Miguel in the corner, starting intently.
"Miguel?" she asked.
He rushed to her side.
"What, whats wrong?" he asked.
"I was going to ask that to you. Still mad at me?"
A small smile, crept on his face. "Not exactly. Can I have some time alone with you?"
"Uh sure." she said confused. "Do you guys mind?"
"No, not at all." said Jessica who followed Simone to the door.
Charity hung back, perplexed by Miguel's sudden change of heart.
"I'll talk to you later Kay." she smiled. "All is forgiven. And Miguel I'll talk to you later, alright?" He nodded.
"What did you want to talk to me about Miguel?" Kay asked.
"Us." he simply stated.
"Us?" she asked.
"Yep. How do you feel." he sat on the edge of her bed, and touched her forehead.
"Uhh I've been better..." she said quietly. "Whats going on Miguel? Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you wanted me dead."
"I dont Kay..I'm sorry..so sorry. I was just mad."
"Thats understandable. Again, I'm sorry Miguel."
"It's okay dont get worked up." he touched her face.
"So what about us?" she asked. "I didn't even know there was an us." she rolled her eyes. Miguel saw the old kay spark and smiled.
"I've been thinking alot about you and me..." he started. "And im really not sure what I feel." She watched, her expression hard to read. "I still love Charity--" he insisted. "But I think." he leaned down, and she closed her eyes. "I might be falling for you." he moved closer to her and their lips touched in a sweet innocent kiss that was the start of something new. A new beginning perhaps, where they would be together. Or not. But it was different and confusing, something new to dwell on. And that was happiness.
THE END...(for now)
I hope you liked the story! Maybe I should continue this on, and count part 1 and 2 as the prologue. What do you think? Should I continue with this? Stuff that hasnt been discovered is, what happened to Kay and Miguel, what happened to Miguel and Charity, what about the baby girl? Did she live? Does Miguel really love Kay? Or is it an infatuation? Is Charity starting to be old news fast?
Please reply and tell me what you think and if you think I should continue or stop here?

Chapter 1- A frantic search
Sam ran up the stairs of the Crane house in the freezing cold and knocked on the door.
The maid came. "Is Luis here?" he asked anxiously.
"Yes." she said. "How can I help you."
"Get me him quick!" Sam exclaimed. "Its an emergency!"
The maid rushed to get Luis.
Luis came to the door followed by Ethan, Gwen, Theresa, Fox, and Sheridan.
"Hey Sam. What is it?" he asked. He noticed Miguel, David and John behind him. "Whats going on?" he asked, confused.
"Kay ran away...In the blizzard."
"What?!" asked Luis. "Its crazy out there, I'm surprised you even got here."
"I know! Luis we need to look for her! Charity had a premonition, Kay dying in the snow. We were all mad at her before she left. We yelled at her and told her we never wanted to see her again. I 'm afraid thats going to come true, and she wont know how much I love her! Imagine! The last thing I said to my daughter was that I didnt feel like talking to her."
Everyone stood in shocked silence. "O-of course I'll help you!" Luis exclaimed.
"Oh Miguel!" Theresa said hugging her brother. "Will she be okay?"
"I hope so Theresa. I told her before she left that I hoped that she would die a slow painful death. I fear that my thought will come true!"
"Nonsense Miguel! She will be fine. Have faith."
"My sister!" exclaimed Ethan, Gwen touched his arm. "I have to help!"
"I'll help too." nodded Fox. For once in his life, he was serious.
"You better not whine about the cold." Ethan said to his brother, glaring.
"I wont!" insisted Fox.
"Where's Grace..how is she?" asked Sheridan.
"She's home with Jessica, Charity and Simone. Simone called her parents. TC's going to meet us here, with Chad, and Whitney and Eve went to stay with Grace. She's beside herself with guilt. She feels that shes responsible for Kay running away."
"I'll go stay with her." Sheridan insisted.
"Me too," Gwen nodded.
"I will too." Theresa agreed. "We will get hot chocolate and warm blankets ready for when you come back. Please try hard!"
TC got back, and the women headed over to The Bennett house.
Kay struggled through the blizzard, wincing as the cold stung her open face. She clutched her stomach, which was in terrible pain. She took a few more steps, and looked around. She couldn't see anything. The wind was too cloudy with snow. She had no idea where she was. The pain was too much.
She fell to the ground, holding her stomach in pain. She got suddenly very warm and numb.
This was how she and her baby were going to die.
This was her punishment. Her punishment, for being so evil.
Guess Miguel would get his wish. She and her baby would die a long and painful death.
She wondered if they discovered that she was gone yet. They probably didn't care anyways. No one cared about her. No one would come to her funeral.
"Please god." she whispered quietly. "If you let me live, I promise I will be a new person. I will never plot against anyone again. I'll be good. And I'm never going back on this promise ever. I swear. Not like I did before, this time I'm serious. I just want to live... Even if I have nothing left here to live for. I'm too scared to die..." and with that last whisper her eyes shut. She blacked out. Only god could decide whether she would live or die.
Chapter 2- Happy Discovery
"KAYYYY!" Miguel yelled over the icey feild. He, Sam, Ethan and Fox were looking in the nearby feilds and by the ports. David, John, TC, and Luis were looking in the town, while the police were doing house searches. "We'll never find her!" he cried.
"Dont say that Miguel!" Ethan exclaimed. "We have to find my sister."
They ran over to the ports.
"Maybe she's here." Fox suggested.
"We have to look." Sam said determinely. "Everywhere."
"KAY!" Fox yelled.
"KAY! ITS ETHAN!" hollored Ethan.
"We're never going to get anywhere by ourselves. Our voices are so quiet." Sam pointed out.
"Your right." Said Fox. "Lets yell all together."
"By my count." said Miguel. "one...two....THREE."
"KAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" they all yelled in unison at the top of their lungs.
No answer. They reached the port. No one else was there, since everyone was in their homes.
"Ahh I understand." said Fox.
"What?" asked an exasperated Ethan. "This is no time to think about other matters!"
"Its plently time." Fox mused wisely. "Its windy, going the opposite way. Our voices are being carried backwards, to nothing."
"You know what? I think he's right." sighed Sam.
They looked around. Just then, in the darkness, Miguel spotted a heap, laying on the ground.
Without anyone else seeing, he ran over to it.
It was Kay. She was tinted blue and her eyes were closed. She was clutching her stomach, and her bag was laying on the ground.
"I FOUND HER!" he yelled out. He scooped up Kay into his arms. Sam, Ethan and Fox ran over.
"Is she alright?" asked Fox.
"I dont know." Miguel said sadly. "She's unconcious."
"Lets get her to a hospital quick!" exclaimed Ethan. "I'll call Doctor Russell and tell her to get over to the hospital with everyone else...then I'll call Luis and the other search party. Come on, we have to get her there quickly!"
Miguel ran through the field carrying Kay in his arm. Fox, Ethan and Sam followed.
"Please Kay. Please hold on." he looked up to the sky, and whispered. "Oh, God, if you let her live I will never ignore her again. I promise. I'll take full responsibility for her and the baby... that is if the baby lives."
Back at the Bennett house, Grace had explained the happenings to everyone. Everyone felt sorry for Grace but agreed that they had been to harsh on Kay.
"I never really liked her or gave her a chance." Theresa said sadly. "I really regret that. She seems like a nice, missunderstood person."
"All she ever wanted was to be loved." Charity said quietly. "Everythings my fault. If only I hadn't come to the town--"
"Stop, Charity. Its not your fault." said Jessica. "I know this does sound harsh but Kay brought everyone's madness on herself. She doesn't deserve to die in a blizzard, but she did deserve a wake up call."
"Still, I dont want her to remember me as the girl who slapped her." Charity said sadly.
Just then the phone rang. Grace jumped for it.
"What...you did? THANK GOD. Oh, oh yes, we'll be there as soon as we can."
"What, what is it?" Simone asked, eager on news of her best friend.
"Kay was found by the port. She was unconcious, but they found her. They're bringing her to the hospital, and we should go there now."
They all grabbed their coats and ran for the door.
"I hope she's alright Aunt Grace." said Charity.
"So do I, Charity. So do I."
Chapter 3- If Only
All the women rushed into the hospitals to find all their husbands, boyfriends, friends ect sitting on the chairs awaiting Kay's fate.
"Miguel!" Charity yelled running over to her boyfriend. "Is Kay alright?"
"I don't know." he said quietly.
"What happened?" she asked, taking his hand, as she sat beside him.
"I was the first to find her." he whispered. "I came over to where I saw a shadow and saw her body. She was tinted blue, and her lips were chapped. Her eyes were closed and she was holding her stomach. It was horrible, seeing her so lifeless...and to know that I'm what caused it?"
"Miguel!" Charity insisted. "Don't do that to yourself! You know it was all of us, not just you." "You have nothing to feel bad about. She didnt love you."
"Miguel! I called her names and I slapped her. I was just so mad. I didn't think I could ever do that to a living person ever in my life.." Miguel just nodded at that.
"I can't believe what I said, though."
"What did you say exactly?"
**FLASHBACK**
Next was Miguel. Her beloved Miguel.
"I dont know what happened with you Kay." he said quietly. "Before we were such good friends, you were such a nice person. Somehow it all changed. I dont recognize the person in front of me. I can't believe you would do this much to cause pain to Charity. I love her so much, and if you truly loved me you would let me be happy with her. I cant even list all the mean things you've done. You've caused misery and sorrow. Kay thats you! Misery and sorrow! Thats what follows you everywhere! I HATE YOU KAY BENNETT. I HATE WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I HATE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME. I HOPE YOU AND THE BABY DIE A SLOW PAINFUL DEATH. WHEN YOUR DYING I'LL COME IN WITH CHARITY AND WE'LL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE!!!" he spitt angrily then ran out of the room.
**END OF FLASHBACK**
"Oh." Charity said slowly.
"So you see, she has so much reason to hate me. I hope she doesnt die.. Oh please god don't let her die! Please..."
"I'm going to check on Aunt Grace, okay Miguel?" Charity whispered.
Miguel nodded, he was getting closer to Charity, but he couldn't think of that. Not when Kay and his baby's lives were at stake.
He put his head in his hands and thought. If she died, he would never, ever forgive himself.
"Hey, little brother." said Luis, putting his hand on Miguel's shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he asked, sitting beside Miguel.
"Yeah..I think I'll be ok. Its Kay that we have to be worried about."
"Relax, I'm sure she'll be fine."
"But she's going to hate me!"
"Why? You didn't make her go out in the cold."
"Yeah, but I said some really mean things to her that caused her to live. I feel partially responsible."
"Why would you do that Miguel? To your best friend Kay?"
"I found out all the bad things she did."
"Oh yeah, I heard about that from Theresa."
"Theresa? How does she know?"
"Grace told her."
"Oh...Alright." there was silence.
"Miguel? Why do you care about Kay so much?" Luis asked.
"Shes my best friend Luis!"
"I dont think shes just your friend." Luis said, a wise smirk on his face.
"What do you mean?" asked Miguel defensively. "I love Charity. We are meant to be together, its called Fate, Luis. You should know about that."
"Sometimes fate is overrated, Little brother. Think about it."
"I see what you mean." Miguel nodded. "I will think about it."
"Okay." Luis patted Miguel on the back. "I've leave you to your thoughts."
Why would Luis think that he cared about Kay? Obviously he loved her like a friend, and cared about her deeply, she WAS his best friend after all... But was there something more..?
*FLASHBACK*
"Kay, what are you doing here?" Miguel asked as she stepped into his room.
"I'm here to see you Miguel." Kay said with a sexy smirk on her face.
"Well, what do you want?" Miguel asked impatiently, as he sat on his bed.
Kay softly shut the door and sat beside him, smiling an evil smile. "Well..." he asked. "What Kay? What is it?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." Kay said innocently.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
It didn't just stop there though. He had done something stupid that night. Hurt Kay badly, and he hadn't talked to her since, except when he yelled at her..
*FLASHBACK*
~~Later~~
"Of course Kay. I don't hate you. I love you. Your my best friend in the world."
"Really?" she asked. He nodded. "It makes me feel so much better to hear you say that. She pretended to wipe a tear from her eyes.
His face was close to her's now. He brought her chin up softly with his finger.
"It's ok." he whispered. This was it. The time to act.
She brought her face closer and closer to his. Their lips touched. She was kissing him. Soft sweet simple kisses that made her stomach flutter and her heart beat rapidly.
He pulled away, and looked down.
"That was a mistake." he mumbled.
"No it wasn't miguel!" Kay exclaimed, forcing him to look her in the eye. "You did it because you love me. You know you love me." He shook his head, doubt and descisions clouding his eyes. "Look me in the eye..and tell me you don't love me." she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I dont love you." he simply stated, looking directly into her pools of blue.
She softly cried. Miguel looked away, not wanting to watch.
"Now..." he said coldly. "Get. Out."
"What?" she asked her voice breaking with emotion.
"GET OUT NOW!" he yelled with anger. Kay ran out of the room sobbing, and out the front door.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
He has been such a jerk to her too many times. Why has he done this? Why was he being so distant to his best friend? She's not perfect. She has made many many horrible mistakes. But she's only human, a very sad, lonely person who needs love. He felt something that he couldnt explain.
Somehow he wanted to be the one, to help her feel like she could be loved.
Maybe he could change her. He could make her into a better person.
He could love her for who she was, he knew everything about her--at least he used to.
It had all changed when Charity came to town, but he wanted to make up for not being there for her. If only he was there for her, still close to her, she wouldn't be so destructive and hateful.
He was the one who caused her rift with her mom, her sister, her friend Simone. He was the one who drove her to hurt someone he loved very much, Charity.
He still loved Charity. It hurt thinking of her not in his life, yet he had a special spark with Kay that he hadn't had with Charity. Was it possible to be falling for Kay? To be in love with TWO women at the same time? Maybe... he wasnt sure which one he was meant to be with, but he would find out.
Chapter 4- A fresh Start
"She's ready to see you know." Eve Russell, told Sam and Grace.
Everyone was sitting around the waiting room, and when the doctor had come, everyone stood up eagerly.
"Is she okay?" asked Charity, as she rushed over to Doctor Russell.
"Not yet, but she will be, Charity." she smiled warmly.
"Is the baby okay?" asked Miguel.
Eve's face fell. "We're not sure yet, Miguel. But it doesnt look good."
Miguel fell to his knees weakly. His eyes brimmed with tears. His baby, his first baby.
He should be releaved, happy that he wouldnt have to take over so much responsibility, but he wasnt. He was downright crushed.
"Mijo!" Pilar rushed over to her son, and helped him to his face. "Are you alright son?"
"My baby." Miguel whispered. "My...first baby...dying?"
"No, Miguel. No the baby will not die. We will pray for him or her."
"Was it a girl or boy?" Miguel asked, his eyes filled with tears.
Eve russell, was crushed and replied in a weak voice,
"A girl. Still is a girl, Miguel. Theres a chance that we will save her."
"What are the chances?" asked Miguel.
"About 50/50." sighed Eve.
"Feeling lucky?" muttered Fox under his breath, which received glares from Ethan and Gwen.
"I need to see her. I need to see Kay." Miguel said urgently.
"Miguel," Doctor Russel, stated. "Sam and grace are with her now. You, Charity, Jessica and Simone are next. She requested you."
"Can I see her by myself too please?" he asked.
"I don't know, you'll have to ask her."
He nodded.
Then Sam and Grace came out of the room, their faces downcast with sadness of hurting their daughter, but small smiles were on their faces. She was okay.
"How is she?" Miguel asked eagerly.
"Better. Much better." Grace smiled. "She forgives me." Tears welled up in her eyes. "She actually forgives me. I love that girl so much." Sam whispered to her, and took her over to the chairs to comfort her, which, of course, was observed by David and Ivy.
"Can we see her now?" asked Jessica.
"Sure." Eve smiled. She let Jessica, Simone, Charity and Miguel into Kay's room. There was Kay, laying in bed, weak looking, her light brown hair hanging limply at her shoulders. Her face was pale, her lips chapped, and she had lost the sparkle in her eyes.
"Kay!" Jessica rushed over to her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah Jessica." Kay whispered, smiling slightly. "I'm fine. Just feeling stupid."
"You arent stupid Kay." Simone said taking her hand.
"We're sorry, especially me for hurting you. Will you ever forgive us?"
"Of course. If you can forgive me for hurting you." she said quietly.
"Obviously we will!" exclaimed Simone, she patted her hand. "We love you Kay, so much. DONT ever do that again! You scared us to death!"
Kay then noticed Miguel in the corner, starting intently.
"Miguel?" she asked.
He rushed to her side.
"What, whats wrong?" he asked.
"I was going to ask that to you. Still mad at me?"
A small smile, crept on his face. "Not exactly. Can I have some time alone with you?"
"Uh sure." she said confused. "Do you guys mind?"
"No, not at all." said Jessica who followed Simone to the door.
Charity hung back, perplexed by Miguel's sudden change of heart.
"I'll talk to you later Kay." she smiled. "All is forgiven. And Miguel I'll talk to you later, alright?" He nodded.
"What did you want to talk to me about Miguel?" Kay asked.
"Us." he simply stated.
"Us?" she asked.
"Yep. How do you feel." he sat on the edge of her bed, and touched her forehead.
"Uhh I've been better..." she said quietly. "Whats going on Miguel? Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you wanted me dead."
"I dont Kay..I'm sorry..so sorry. I was just mad."
"Thats understandable. Again, I'm sorry Miguel."
"It's okay dont get worked up." he touched her face.
"So what about us?" she asked. "I didn't even know there was an us." she rolled her eyes. Miguel saw the old kay spark and smiled.
"I've been thinking alot about you and me..." he started. "And im really not sure what I feel." She watched, her expression hard to read. "I still love Charity--" he insisted. "But I think." he leaned down, and she closed her eyes. "I might be falling for you." he moved closer to her and their lips touched in a sweet innocent kiss that was the start of something new. A new beginning perhaps, where they would be together. Or not. But it was different and confusing, something new to dwell on. And that was happiness.
THE END...(for now)
I hope you liked the story! Maybe I should continue this on, and count part 1 and 2 as the prologue. What do you think? Should I continue with this? Stuff that hasnt been discovered is, what happened to Kay and Miguel, what happened to Miguel and Charity, what about the baby girl? Did she live? Does Miguel really love Kay? Or is it an infatuation? Is Charity starting to be old news fast?
Please reply and tell me what you think and if you think I should continue or stop here?
