Okay, here's the next chapter. Just to clear some things up, it was unlikely that I would have killed Mimi. I just wanted to hear everyone's opinion. Mimi is one of my favorite characters, too. It's just wrong that she doesn't get enough air time. As for hooking her up with Brady, I love Brimi. I also love Mason. I'm not sure which she'll end up with. You can tell me who you think she should be with and I'll decide. Anyways… I really appreciated the reviews. Keep 'em coming. They make me want to write. Also, sorry for the short chapter, but it's Halloween. I guess I wasn't really motivated.

"Luckily, Mimi got here in time to avoid any serious damage. However we fear that she will never be the same." The doctor paused and looked at the group of confused individuals.
"What do you mean? You said that she we got her here in time; that means she'll be okay, right?" Belle was confused but also worried. She turned to her mother hoping for some clarification.
"Sweetheart, he means that she won't have any physical damage, but emotionally… when someone tries to commit suicide, it means that they are unstable. They think killing themselves will solve all of their problems, and when they don't succeed, they tend to take out any anger on the people closest to them. They are especially violent with the person who stopped them from being able to end it."
As understanding dawned on her daughter's face, Marlena turned to the rest of the group. "Often the person will be so upset that they push away friends and family. We are going to have to stick by Mimi no matter how much she tries to push us away. We can't let her go through this alone or we could lose her forever."
By now everyone was determined to help Mimi through this. Belle knew that the strain would be worst on her, so she was resolved to work hard to make her best friend better. Suddenly an idea struck her. She turned to the doctor and asked "Can we see her?"
"No." When her face fell, he quickly added, "I mean not right now. She's getting her stomach pumped and, we usually like to make sure that the patient gets plenty of rest after this sort of ordeal. You should be able to see her sometime around noon tomorrow. In the mean time, get some rest. I'll see you all tomorrow." With that said, he walked away.
"Come on guys, you heard the doctor; we should all head home. We can't do anything here, and we'll be able to see her tomorrow." Hope's cheerfulness was obviously forced, but they all walked out of the hospital anyway. They knew that they would have to be strong for Mimi.
