A/N: Again, I apologize for the lack of updates that I've had recently, but some of that also contributes to computer problems. I'm going to try and update as much as I can. Some days, I just won't get around to doing it, and for that I apologize. A wonderful thank-you to all of the people who stuck with the story, even though I can make some pretty mean cliffhangers and not update for a while. Thanks a lot people, your support is greatly appreciated, so thank you!!! The song in this chapter is "My Goodbyes" by Saliva.
XA/N: A dark figure was approaching the group from one of the tunnels in the "intersection".
"Who's there?" Rockie yelled. The figure kept walking slowly and stumbled a little bit. It was clutching its right arm. Rock shifted his weight and got ready to attack, if necessary. The other remaining male members of the group did likewise.
"Who are you?" JB called out. The figure suddenly stopped, as if it recognized something about her voice. JB stepped towards the tunnel. The figure was standing there, as if looking at her. Rockie stood in front of JB.
"You, come into the light, and reveal yourself!" She said, making a "just bring it" motion. The figure took one step closer to the light, then remained motionless. It was evident from the outline that the light threw on it, that the figure was a man.
Chris was also looking very closely at this person, there was something oddly familiar there...
Lizzie let her curiosity lead her to the front of the group with Rockie and JB. Kazza and BlazerAkila soon followed. The three guys remained at the rear end of the group.
All of them stared at the figure, clutching its right arm, with great interest. Finally, JB could take no more.
"Who are you?" She demanded, walking up to the figure. She stopped short when she saw its face.
"JB?" Rockie asked, ready to run up there and help if she felt like it.
"JB?" Kazza then asked, her tone sounding a little worried.
"Who is it?" Lizzie asked. JB suddenly, stumbled back into the light. Her face looked white, like she had just seen a ghost. The man walked out behind her, and his face was finally revealed.
To be continued........

//Hey, precious daddy, can you hear me now?
From the lost and found,
Although your six feet under ground//
"Oh, God." Chris said, and stumbled to the center of the room. Shawn went to check on Adriana, and then started searching frantically for Cameron.
"Cameron?" Shawn asked, peeking into the bathroom. No answer. Chris sat in the middle of the room holding his daughter. He rocked her back and forth and looked at her expressionless face. Shawn had reason to think that she was dead.
//In the mirror, I can see your face.
It's another trace
Of all the tragedy you passed down//
"I'm going to look for Cameron." Shawn said determinedly before walking out of the room. He got no answer from Chris, and he didn't expect to.
Shawn searched up and down for his boy. He walked all over the arena, bursting into locker rooms and storage closets, but found nothing. He had finally made his way to the parking lot, when he caught sight of his son.
//There are times when I can hear your voice
It's just like my voice
And it still haunts me when you come around//
He was awfully white and he wasn't moving. Shawn's breath caught in his throat.
"God, no. Please no...." He mumbled before rushing to Cameron. Rebecca's face flashed across Shawn's mind as he made his way to the boy.
//I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known?
You would leave me here alive//
"She had looked almost the same," Shawn noted mentally. "Only, she had a look of shock etched on her face. Or maybe...regret." It took all of his strength to not just bust out in tears at that second.
"Cameron?" He asked. No response. Shawn put his hand on Cameron's chest. It seemed to be moving, but Shawn's hand was shaking so much he really couldn't tell. He picked up Cameron and ran for the entrance to the building. On the way, he had to cross the mainstream of where cars went in and out of the building. Most people were leaving, so it made it difficult to pass.
//Oh my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God, I think I'm dying//
Shawn darted out when there was a small amount of cars passing. A car suddenly sped around the corner, and Shawn noticed this. He made a beeline for the sidewalk. The car increased in speed.
Hunter was behind the wheel of the car.
//Precious daddy, can you hold my hand?
Like you did back then
Can you forgive me of all my sins?//
"Run, Shawn. God won't save you a second time." He muttered while increasing the speed.
Shawn knew that he wasn't going to make it to the sidewalk in time without getting hit, unless he dove. He ran a little longer, then dove for the concrete.
//Come to me and take this pain away
'Cause it's all I see
It would be heavenly to see you again//
His dive was a little late.
The front end of the car smacked his legs as his arms reached the sidewalk. Shawn was thrown backwards, causing him to inadvertently throw Cameron back into the street. Shawn screamed in half pain, half agony as the tires of the car passed over his lower back, before quickly speeding off.
//I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known?
You would leave my side//
Shawn vaguely noticed that his son was ok, because he was up and asking if daddy was "ok". He just laid there on the pavement as the stream of traffic died down. No one had really noticed the accident, and so none stopped. Shawn tried to will himself to move, but his legs couldn't move. His lower back seemed to be screaming for forgiveness.
Shawn rested his head on the asphalt, and then slowly his mind slipped into bliss, while his son screamed at him. Someone was walking over towards them.
//It all was so simple then
When it all began
And I was your smile//

Chris held his daughter for what seemed like a long amount of time. Her eyes were just now fluttering open. Adriana sat in the corner, trying to reconcile herself. She didn't expect Chris to come and help her. Hell, she doubted if he still really cared about her. She had lied about what her parents had said.
Her parents actually wanted them to get married. Adriana didn't want to commit, though. Truth be told, she really had never loved Chris. He had been a one-night thing, and to her, had remained that way. She wanted nothing to remind her of him, and if that included their child, so be it.
// But now, you're just words and stone
You're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time//
Cori opened her eyes to see the face of her very concerned father.
To her, that was better than the face that she had seen before closing her eyes.
//Oh my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God, I think I'm dying//
"Dad," She whispered hoarsely. He held her even more tightly.
"Cori, I'm so sorry that you had to see me that way. I never meant to go all out like that- I didn't hurt you did I? If I-I did, then I would never be able to forgive myself...." He mumbled to her. She smiled.
//Oh my God, why did you take him away?
Can you give me just one more day?
Of just apologizing//
"It's ok, daddy." Chris smiled.
"What happened to you, baby doll?" He asked, his smile now gone.
//How could you take him from me?
It's like you spit in my face.
I've got his grandson to raise.
With no grandfather to see.//
"I-I was....um..." He nodded. He already knew that part. "By....R- Ro....Rob Van Dam." She proclaimed before bursting into tears. Chris turned to Adriana.
"What happened to you? Couldn't you have done something?" He asked, becoming angry. Chris noticed that her clothes weren't ripped like Cori's. Hers looked like they had been shredded with scissors, speaking of which, there were some on the table to the right of her... Chris's expression turned dark.
//Don't let him end up like me.
'Cause he'll be down on his knees.
Askin' you where could I be?
I wonder what you would say?//
"You just let it happen, didn't you? You WATCHED it happen, didn't you? Dammit, Adriana, she's your fucking daughter!!!!" He screamed. Cori noticed the protective tone in her father's voice. She also noticed the torn disbelief that he was trying to hide.
"You let that happen to your DAUGHTER!!!! I know that you probably didn't give a shit about us, I found that out when I talked to your parents. But, she is PART of you, you could've done something, besides make it look like you were a victim too!!! You make me sick, Ady. Try to stay away from us." Chris said, standing up, and walking away from her. He was out to find Shawn.
//I feel like I wasted time
When I didn't have you on my mind
I feel like I'm all alone
How could I have known?
You would leave my side//
Chris held Cori in his arms for the whole walk. She didn't seem to mind after all that she'd been through. Chris went to the parking lot first, on an instinct. He opened the door to find Shawn on the pavement, with Cameron wailing next to him. Chris ran over to Shawn and set Cori down next to him. Chris tried to see what had happened, but soon gave up. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed 9-1-1.
Tonight was by far, the worst night of his entire life.......
//It all was so simple then
When it all began
And I was your smile//
The ambulance came soon enough, and loaded Shawn up.
"Be careful with him." Chris warned.
// And now, your just words and stone
You're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time//
One of the paramedics made the comment that he looked like he'd been hit with a car.
And, they doubted he'd ever walk again..
//Oh my God, why did you take him away?
Can you give me just one more day?
Of just apologizing//
Chris and Cori felt horrible for Shawn. Neither could fathom what this was doing to Cameron. He was apologizing over and over to his dad for not saving him.
"Daddy, please come back....I'm sorry.." He said, as the tears just kept rolling down his face.
//Of just apologizing...//
