CHAPTER8#

"Miss do you have any idea where she could have gone?"A cop asked Tiffany.

"Look she was kidnapped ok like I know where the sick freak took him"She snapped getting quite irritated.

"Ok Miss clam down we'll find her that's what we do"

About six cops and friends of Lily's had all gathered at Tiffany's house to see what they could do.

Kyle soon walked in with the girls following him.

"what do we know??"Kyle asked Tiffany.

"not much"Tiffany replied looking at the girls who were holding hands.

"do we know who took her?"

"Luke did"

"is he dangerous??"

"Not that I know of but we know she has a head wound"

"how do we know that??"

"The steering wheel was covered in her blood from where her head hit"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh...oot"Kyle sighed once he realised his two girls.

"Daddy??"Kyle felt a tug on his shirt and looked to his left.

"What is it Jasmine?"

"Where's mommy??"

"I don't know"

"She's missing"Sydney piped in.

"How would you know?"Jasmine challeneged.

"I'm older that's why"

"yeah by five minutes"

"still older"

"GIRLS!"Kyle finally yelled getting their attention.

"now is not time for bickering"

"sorry"They said in unison.

"Look just like the two of you don't they?"Asked a sweet vioce.

Kyle turned to see Heather.

"who??"

"You and Lily of course at each others throats"

"Oh yeah,what are you doing here??"

"I came to be with you"She said giving him as kiss on the cheek.

"why?"

"because I love you"

"I love you too. thanks"

"hi"Chirped in Jasmine.

"Hey babies how are you?"heather asked picking them both up.

"good want to see our rooms???"Syd asked.

"Sure"

Kyle had been dating Heather for a year now so both girls were used to her.

"see and this our favorite story"Syd said.

"would you like me to read it to you?"Heather asked.

"NO!only momies can read this it's the mommy and me book"Jasmine said.

"Oh well I'll be your mommy soon"

"How do you know?"questioned Syd sitting down where Heather was about to making Heather stand.

"well I doubt they ever find you mommy and know way would your daddy ever want her so..."

Heather was cut off when Jasmine kicked the back of her knees knocking her down.

"I"M GOING TO RIP YOUR HAIR OUT!"Syd screamed as she and Jasmine jumped on her.

Kyle was talking to Tiffany when they heard screaming and they both ran to the girls room.

Heather lay on the floor with Syd and Jasmine on her pulling her hair.

Not knowing anyone was behind her Heather stood up and caught JAsmine by the arms and tossed her into a nearby wall.

Jasmine began to cry and Syd ran over ot her side giving her a hug as they huddled in the corner.

"OH SHUT UP!"Heather shreiked heading over to them.

"I'M GOING OT KILL YOU BOTH WHILE YOU SLEEP I SWEAR....."Heather was cut off by Kyle

"HEATHER THAT'S ENOUGH!"

"Kyle baby they attacked me"

"I don't care"

"Baby..."

"It's over Heather"

"but..."

"Hey!"Heather turned to see Syd.

"What?"Heather bent over.

"DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH MY BABY SISTER AGAIN!"Syd screamed.

Syd scratched Heather.

when Heather turned around her cheek under her right eye was bleeding.

Heather stormed out and Syd went back to Jasmine who was still in the corner crying.

"Come on" Syd said getting off the floor she helped Jasmine up using her left instead of her right arm to pull her.

Kyle and Tiffany followed the girls and watched in shock at what all they could do.

first they went in the bathroom and got a towel.

Then standing on Jasmines shoulders Syd got ice from the freezer to wrap in the towel.

She handed it to Jasmine who put it on her arm.

then they walked ot the kitchen counter and helped each other onto it so they could reach the overhead cuborts.

Syd got a glass and crawled to the sink she poured water into the cup gave it to jasmine and then they jumped down.

they then went into the bathroom and to the medicine cabinet where Syd got a baby aspirin out and gave it to Jasmine to take she did then they went back out ont the couch leaving a very shocked Kyle and Tiffany in the bathroom.

"How did.....what the??....where did they?"Kyle asked not sure knowing what he was saying.

"I see they don't get their brains from you"Tiffany said.

"where did they learn that???"

"Lily she taught them lots of stuff including what to do in a fire,flood,hurricane and sprained or twisted limbs robberies and choking"

"Yeah that sounds like my girl"Kyle said with a laugh.

"Kyle"

"Yeah"

"I know it's hard and she is stuborn but tell Lily how you feel or let her go do HER the favour"

"What?"

"She is in love with you and she is still holding on to this hope you'll have her so either take her or flat out tell her no so she can move on"

"But that can't be Lily couldn't be..."

"She is"

"But I kissed her a few nights ago and told her I'd leave Heather for her she said no and ran out"

"well she wants to move on and forget you but she can't"

"Oh......"

"Kyle I know you like her but she LOVES you so let her go"

"I LOVE her too"

"Then let her go you know it's better for her"

"you're right.....can I ask you something??"

"Yeah"

"Yeah she told me"

"A week later she told me goodbye on a rooftop"

"the next day"

"The day after she said goodbye?"

"No the day after you had sex with her"

"she knew the night she said goodbye"

"Yeah"

"why does she want to get over me??"

"She's scared"

"Of what?"

"You she's afraid of loving you"

"Why?"

"She's been hurt"

"Not unless we pull the life support wich I think you should do"

"Is she brain dead??"Kyle asked.

"No just on life support"

"when can I see my mommy??"Jasmine asked.

"Now but only one at a time"The doctor said.

"thank you"Lily's mom said politely.

the doctor left them all alone.

"Mrs.Reddicker you can go first"Tiffany said.

"Thank you"she got up and left the girls not understanding scampered off to play.

"Ok since Lily isn't going to......I'll tell you about her her past"Tiffany said.

"Thank you"

"her father sexually abused her so she became a cutter when she was 16 she hung herself"

"Why?"

"Her dad wouldn't stop so she decided to stop him herself when her mom found out her parents divorced and Lily met me at CFLHG"

"I see"

"Then she met a guy at 20 they were perfect for each other and one night Lily was with him you know WITH him"

"Parking?"

"oh.....I see"

"You can go next young man"Mrs.Reddicker said.

"oh thank you"

"I'm going to pull the life support tomorrow"She finished.

"OK"

Kyle walked to Lily's room and sat in the chair next to her"

"Lily.....can you hear me? you gotta wake up or they're going to kill you"

He took her hand.

"Come on Baby you're stronger than this I know it don't give up if you give up they win"

"I know about your past I understand you being afraid but I would cut out my own heart before I hurt you"

"Come on lily open your eyes the girls need you.....I need you I love you"

"You are stuborne aren't you???come on wake up"

"ok look when I was a drunk you didn't give up on me so I'm not giving up on you....I can't"

Kyle stood up slowly and looked at her.

deciding nobody would notice he leaned over and pressed his lips to hers in a soft kiss.

Kyle left and minutes after the door closed a soft word was heard short and simple.

"Kyle?"
