Chapter 6

Author's Note:
I should be thrown into a vat of boiling hot custard, but I'm hoping you're not that angry that it took me so long to update this. I've been really busy, plus it's a bad idea to argue with my mother, because she takes away my computer privileges. I hope you like this chapter. You get to find out who the person in the shadows was, and get to see Rex's reaction to the news of Mimi's attempted suicide. I'm sorry to the people who don't know who Rex is, but he's an awesome character, so you should go to http://www.nbc.com/nbc/Days_of_our_Lives/history/history_twins02.shtml. It has all the info on the gemini twins. Again, I hope you like this chapter, and don't forget to review.

Hope tentatively stuck her head into the room and saw Mimi was glaring at her. "Hey sweetheart." She walked into the room and shut the door behind her. "I just came to see how you were doing today." This felt more and more like the bad idea that Billie had suggested that it would be.

"Maybe you didn't get it when I said it before, FUCK OFF!" Mimi was getting angry, and she knew that using that anger could help her get rid of Hope.

Meanwhile, across town

Cassie rushed in to the Dimera mansion looking around wildly, stopping only when she saw who she was looking for. "Rex, we have to go to the hospital. Shawn is going to need my support."

"Cassie when are you going to realize that Shawn loves Belle, not you. You need to give him up, and find someone else to love." He was getting sick of having this same argument with her so he decided to change the topic before she started talking about Shawn just needing time to realize that he belonged with her. "Why would Shawn be at the hospital?"

"Didn't you hear? Mimi tried to kill herself."

"What?! When did this happen? We have to get there." He couldn't believe that he hadn't heard about this before. Ever since the kiss they had shared under the mistle toe, she had been all he could think about. He couldn't figure out why she would want to kill herself; it just didn't seem like her.

"I know Shawn will need me, and Belle will need you." Cassie was confused about her brother's reaction. She figured he was just thinking about how much pain Belle would be in. Either way, she knew that this was going to make her one step closer to getting Shawn.

Back at the hospital

"Mimi, I know you're angry, but that's no reason to cut yourself off from your friends, so that said, I'm not going anywhere." If Mimi wanted to be stubborn, then she was messing with the wrong person.

"If you think that little speech is suddenly going to make me open up and confess all of my problems, then you are sadly mistaken. It's not going to be that easy for you, and everyone else, to make up for the time you lost; you're going to have to do more than come in here and make some sappy speech about how much you care about me to fix the mess you helped create. I'm not going to let it be that easy. Now once again, Fuck off, and remember to pass on the message to everyone else."

Mimi watched triumphantly as Hope walked silently out the door far more discouraged than when she had come in. This was becoming really fun, if not slightly boring. Her thoughts were interrupted by yet another knock on the door. Without even trying to find out who it was, she yelled "Just fucking go away!"

"Now, now meems, is that any way to greet me. I should tell you to screw yourself, but considering the situation, I guess I won't."

"Oh-my-god."

"Personally, I prefer Jason, but I wouldn't mind someone as beautiful as yourself worshipping me." Leaning against the doorway, with his trademark grin, was none other than Jason Masters.

Mimi couldn't think of anything to say, so she just sputtered.

" I've left many girls speechless, but usually not with my mere presence. I guess I should be honored." He knew showing up like this was a great idea, and he was glad that he hadn't come to see her the day before. This was just much more fun. He could tell that she was happy to see him.

"I can't believe you have the nerve to show up here out of the blue after you couldn't even find time to call. You are worse than all of the others here combined. Now get out Jason, now!"

Or maybe not.

Out in the hall Rex had heard the argument, and rushed in to see what was going on. "Is this guy bothering you; do you want me to get rid of him?"

"As a matter of fact I would." She looked at the two in front of her, seeing Jason shocked face and Rex's overjoyed one, and she added "and make sure when you take him out, to leave yourself out there, too." She immediately saw the confusion of Jason and Rex's faces intensify.

"Wait, you want me to go, too. Why?" Rex had no idea who this other guy was, but he was sure that he had something to do with the hostility Mimi was showing him.

"Do I have to spell it out to you?" seeing his blank look, she continued "Obviously I do. I don't want to talk to anyone. That includes you, both of you. Now get out of my room before I have to call security to make you get out." They dejectedly walked out, being typical guys and lightly pushing each other out of the way. She needed some time to think about everything. Jason was finally back, but he was only here because she had almost died. It was also a bad time, with her just starting to develop feelings for Rex. She wasn't sure what to do about those two, but hopefully she could figure it out before she had to see either one of them again.

Jason and Rex were both confused and angry and had somehow found a way to blame it on each other. They glared at each other waiting for the other to leave so they could go in and talk to Mimi alone.

Just before it could escalate into violence, Cassie came rushing through in, and ran into Jason, knocking herself to the floor. They locked eyes and just stared for a few seconds before Jason offered his hand to help her off the floor; as soon as their hands touched, they felt a spark go through them. They weren't sure what it meant, but they both wanted to find out. They were pulled out of their reverie, by the sound of Rex clearing his throat, and Cassie looked up to see him glaring at the stranger in front of her.

Okay, so you've gotten this far, now all you have to do is click on the button and leave a review. See how simple that is. Though remember, any flames will be used by the penguins to burn down your house, so be careful. Anyways, if you didn't get it before, review please. Also, I didn't want to put this at the beginning of the chapter, because it would have ruined the surprise, but Jason didn't try to do that stupid stunt at the Last Blast last year.
