Chapter/Part: 9

Cecilia and her parents went to their house after they left the hospital. They were also drained. Needless to say they went straight to bed.

At the hospital Simon stayed awake for awhile after everyone left. He needed to think. He had a feeling that everyone but Kevin thought it was his fault. He didn't know if it wasn't true. Sure Kevin is a cop if it was his fault he was sure Kevin would of told me. Even if he wasn't a cop he wouldn't lie to me with anything. He would tell me the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Right? "But then why do I feel so guilty?" He wondered out loud.

"That could be because you care for everyone a lot." A voice behind him answered; making Simon jump causing a small amount of pain.

"Mary? Is that you?" Simon asked.

"Yes it's me"

"What are you doing here? And at this time?"

"Well I went to the house earlier but no one was there. So I went to the Pool Hall. They said that mom, Matt, Sam, David, and Kevin was there but had to leave. I went back to where I'm staying for awhile to think. Then not to long ago I went back to the house. Where I found out there was a car accident."

"So you thought you'd come down here to pay visit to poor Simon?"

"Not exactly. You see I know you. Therefore I knew you'd blame yourself for the accident. But." Mary was cut off by Simon.

"But? Kevin was the first to come see me. Not Matt, Lucy, mom, or dad. Kevin! He doesn't blame me but the rest of them do or did. I don't know if they do or what." He was cut abruptly.

"Simon you need to calm down. You're getting to worked up. I understand more than what I did now. Thanks for that. But as I started to say. Did you try to move to get from getting hit?"

"Yes"

"Then you tried to keep everyone safe. You have no blame. Someone who was under the influence hit you. They didn't try not to hit you. When your drunk even some people don't have to be to drunk they/you lose control of what your doing. I should know!"

"Huh?"

"See the reason I'm here is because I eloped while I was drunk and I need dad to annul it." Mary finished softly.

"Wow is it someone we know? Or just someone you meet on the street?"

"Someone I meet recently not on the street. His name's Jason. We were both drink and didn't know what we were doing."

"So you got married and I was in an accident. What else is gonna happen now? Where is all this gonna go?"

"We'll be fine. Your not to blame get some rest. See you tomorrow. We'll continue this. It will happen don't get any ideas how to get out of it. Goodnight Simon. Love you."

"Night Mary. Love you too."
