Chapter 26 (Love in the end)
Belle awoke in a hospital room, to see Mark asleep in a chair beside her bed. As she looked down she noticed that he was holding her hand. Belle pulled her hand loose from Mark's and proceeded to rub his head. Mark started to stir and looked up, "Belle you're awake, darlin' you've had a lot of people worried about you," Mark said has he took Belle's hand and kissed it. "How long have I been asleep," Belle asked. "About three days dear," Mark replied. "Is it over Mark," Belle said as the memories came flooding back to her. Belle then remembered, Sean coming at her with a knife and looked at Mark, "What did he do," Belle cried. "Sh, it's only a scar honey," Mark said not sure if he should tell her now. But damnit he didn't want to start off a relationship being dishonest. "Honey he tried to cut your throat but instead only caused a flesh wound that's it," Mark said in a low voice. Seeing the hurt in her eyes about killed him. Belle shifted in the bed and thought to herself, come on girl don't do it no self-pity you're alive and Mark's here. With that thought in her head she turned to Mark and smiled. "Hey any body in here remember us," Shane said as he strode into the room. "Shane my super hero," Belle said with a smile. Belle looked to see if she could see Nikki. When she didn't she felt bad.
"Hey did I hear someone's awake," Nikki said as she came in the room. Belle smiled at her friend as Nikki came over to give her a hug. "I'm sorry Belle," Nikki said as she looked at her friend.
"Nikki its ok," Belle said. "As long as we're together we'll be ok. So when do I get to go home," Belle asked.
"Well that's just it I let the apartment go. Our things have been moved to Marks house in Texas and Mark insisted that we all stay there and he even said Shane could stay there too," Nikki said with a grin as she walked over to Shane and gave him a hug.
"Nikki are you finally settling for one guy," Belle asked. "Well he is my super hero and after all the green hair is real cute," Nikki replied. "Yeah see wants me," Shane said with a cocky grin.
"And darlin' how about you do you think you can settle for an old run down man," Mark asked. Belle looked at Mark and knew that at that moment she could never want anyone else. "Mark you want be able to get rid of me," Belle said as she kissed Mark.
"Oh Belle there's one other surprise for you, are you up for it, cause it's a biggy," Nikki said with a grin. "Yeah what is it, damnit Nikki you know I hate surprises," Belle said getting excited. Nikki walked over to the door and motioned to someone in the hall.
"Where's my partner in crime," Chris said as he stormed in the room. Going to the bed he planted a big kiss on Belle's forehead and then looked at Mark with a grin. "Chill old man," Chris said. "Listen everybody I have an idea," Chris started to explain. Once he was sure all eyes were on him he went on. "In two weeks there is a cruise going out of Florida, who's with me," Chris was answered by getting hit square in the face with a pillow.
"Well a guys gotta try," Chris said with a shrug as he set on the bed laughing.
