**~** Saturday at BBQ Bob's **~**
"Steve what happened after I passed out?" Katie was still clueless about that terrible night. She was debating whether to ask because it might upset her, but she needed closure.
"Well, you were just lying there. At first I thought you were dead but dad revived you. Jess was just lying there. He was partially around when we got there. You were beaten pretty bad." Steve was getting really upset. He still replayed that day in his mind, over and over.
**~** Flashback **~**
Steve put an APB out on the blue van and another police officer followed Larry to the deserted campground and then dispatched Steve. Steve showed up with his dad and called for back up. He knocked on the door and he didn't get an answer. He tried to open the door but he found it was locked. He went to a nearby window and saw Larry beating her up. He was punching and kicking the unresponsive figure repeatedly. Steve ran to the front door and kicked it open. Larry already had a gun aimed at Jesse. Steve ran full sped and knocked Larry down and grabbed the gun from him. He told the cops to read him his rights. He looked in a corner and there was a woman who was drowning in her own pool of blood. He could barely make out that woman to be Katie. The ambulance came and took her out. Steve and even Mark thought they were going to loose her.
**~** Back to Saturday at BBQ Bob's **~**
"Did Larry say that Jesse beat me up?" That was the last thing she could remember. She hated the thought that she had brought Jesse into this mess. It wasn't her fault and deep down she knew that but she just couldn't accept it.
"How did you know?" He thought she was passed out the entire time. How could she have heard us talking she was, after all, knocking on death's door at that time?
"He told me before he tried to kill us." Anger filled her eyes and voice. She was just relieved that she's away from him. "So what's going to happen now?"
"Well he'll probably go to jail for attempted murder and kidnapping." Just then Mark came out with dinner: lasagna, a salad, and white wine. Steve smiled at Jesse because after dinner the plan was to ask the big question.
"Here you go Amanda, Jesse, Steve, Katie." He said while handing a plate to each person.
"Thanks Mark." Everyone answered in unison. Everyone ate and loved the little Italian dinner. Mark was always a good cook. Everyone discussed Steve's unfinished murder cases. Then everyone completed his or her dinner.
"That was lovely Mark." Amanda complimented. Mark was about to carry all the plates into the back room to cleanup. "Mark, I'll do it. You did after all cook." Amanda suggested.
"Are you sure?" Mark always loved to be kind and offer to do things for others.
"I'll help her, Mark." Katie offered.
"Wait. I'll help Amanda." Steve knew that Jesse wanted to ask her the question after dinner. Everyone just gave Steve a stare. Steve never did like to do anything unless he had to. "Well I mean come on Katie you just got out of the hospital. You should be taking it easy." Trying not to sound weird and unlike himself.
"Steve's right you know." Mark pleaded to her trying not to be too strenuous.
"Ok Mark."
"Wait everyone." Jesse was yelling so everyone, wherever they might be, will be heard. "I have an announcement, well actually a question." He got up from his chair and bowed down on one leg. "Katherine Lynn Johnson, I fell in love with you the first time I treated you. We grew together the last few months. I really love you. When I saw you lying in that hospital room I was so devastated. I couldn't take it. Katherine Johnson will you give me the honor to have you as my wife?" He pulled out a small blue jewelry box and opened it up. What was in side was a small diamond ring that glistened in the light.
Katie's eyes grew greatly. She had a huge grin on her face. She wasn't expecting this. Mark and Amanda were also very surprised. Katie grew very speechless and could only mouth a yes and nod. She was starting to cry. Jesse then swept her into his arms and stuck the precious diamond ring on he charming finger.
"I guess this isn't just a get well party but a congratulations party." Mark said. He was so excited to see Jesse get a woman who was good enough for him unlike a certain someone who went off with a chiropractor.
"Um Mark, I was never close with my dad so um," She was really nervous about asking Mark to walk her down the aisle. "Will you give me away."
"Of course I will." Those two hugged.
"Amanda! I'm gonna need a bridesmaid."
"Well I guess I could be your bridesmaid." The two women hugged. Amanda was so excited Katie was here to stay.
"Hey Steve will you be."Jesse started to say but got interrupted by Steve.
"Be your best man? Sure."
"How'd you know?"
"Must be that telepathy us BROTHERS get." Steve joked. They weren't blood- related but they saw each other as brothers.
Everyone talked so more. At that moment it seemed like everything in the past vanished. The good in the world had come out. This was a moment that no one would ever forget. Jesse, after all the horrible women in life he finally found his fish in the sea. It was about time.
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY! HOPEFULLY I'LL HAVE THE FIFTH AND FINAL CHAP UP SOON. PLEASE REVIEW. I TRY TO LISTEN TO YOUR REVIEWS UNLESS THEY TELL ME THAT THIS STORY SUCKS AND TRASH IT. HOPE YOU ALL LIKE MY STORY. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
