"It hurts!" Scott whined taking his hand off his cut on his forehead.

"I know here take this," Haley said giving him some Tylenol.

"I want my mommy!"

"You'll see her after the storm stops,"

"I want daddy,"

"He'll come after the storm too!"

"I want them now!" Scott yelled.

"Scott sh!" Ivy said coming up to him.

"I want my mommy, and daddy."

"Well guess what you can't have them. They're stuck somewhere else and you're stuck here so smarten up!" Liz said storming over.

Scott started to cry.

"Scott sh!" Ivy said, "You'll wake Ella."

"I don't care."

Just then Ella woke up in tears, bawling very loudly.

"Make her be quiet!" Scott said lying down.

"We can't, you're the one who woke her up." Liz said.

"My arm hurts." Madi said from the corner of the room.

"Okay sweetie, you can have some more medicine now." Kirsten said going over to her.

"I hate those pills!" Madi said seeing the children's Tylenol.

"I know but they help with the pain."

"I don't wanna,"

"Please Madi."

"It really hurts when I move it." Madi said holding her arm.

"Okay, Sweetie just take this I'll be right back."

"Sandy can I talk to you?" Kirsten asked.

"Ya," Said Sandy from his position on the couch.

"We could use your help."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean Ella's crying, Madi's in pain, Scott wants his parents, and Ivy and Liz are trying to be brave but they're scared to death."

"Okay I'll take Scott." Sandy said moving towards him.

"Good." Kirsten said turning to Jimmy, "Jimmy..."

"I know Kirsten I'll go with Madi."

"Thanks, "Kirsten said.

Now Kirsten was with Ella trying to make her stop crying and relax. But her fever was really high, and she was sweating and rolling around. Kirsten was worried to say the least. Haley was trying to convince Liz and Ivy not to be scared, while they were trying to convince her they weren't. Sandy was with Scott, and Jimmy was with Madi he had placed a piece of wood on the underside of her wrist and tied it there with some string. Sort of like a splint.

"Why isn't he awake yet?" Marrissa said changing the gauze on Ryan's forehead.

This time seeing a fight Summer stepped in and said, "Marrissa he's lost a lot of blood that's why he passed out and that's why he's still out of it."

"Oh," Said Marrissa silently slipping her hand into Ryan's.

Seth went and sat down beside Ryan, it had been 5 hours and Ryan was still unconscious. Seth kept trying to wake him up, a splash of cold water, a pinch on the cheek, or a slap on the cheek all didn't work. He decided to tell Marrissa to try talking to him. So she did.

"Ryan please wake up!" Marrissa pleaded into his ear, "We love you, you need to come back to us."

"Nothing happened.

"Ryan please!" Marrissa was so worried that none of Seth's ideas to wake him up were working.

"If you can hear me Ryan please tell me, show me if you can hear me." Nothing happened and Marrissa broke down in tears.

"It's okay Riss," Summer said going over to her with a bottle of water from upstairs.

"Thanks, Sum." Marrissa replied taking the water and claming herself down.

"No problem."

"Here Seth have some water," Marrissa offered.

"Thanks Marrissa." Seth said taking the water and pouring some down his throat.

They passed the bottle around between the three of them because they didn't know how long they would be down here. There was only 4 more bottles of water and Ryan would need lots of liquid when he woke up. Seth said that depending on how long they were here Ryan might need the rest of them. So the three only used about half of one.

"Rissa, you should get some sleep." Summer suggested.

"I'm fine."

"Rissa come on." Summer pleaded, "you're so exhausted."

"I'm staying with Ryan."

"Fine," Summer said walking away.

(AT THE COHEN HOUSE)

"Something's really wrong," Kirsten whispered to Sandy.

"I know, but there's not much we can do." Sandy whispered back.

"Her fever is so high Sandy."

"Kirsten I know." Sandy said.

"I'm sorry I'm just concerned."

"I know we all are."

Kirsten had just gotten Ella to sleep, which had taken what seemed like forever with how sick she was. Kirsten knew Ella wouldn't sleep for long, but any rest Ella could get was a good thing.

"Scott and Ivy are sleeping." Haley said coming over to them.

"Oh good." Sandy said.

"How's Madi?" Kirsten asked.

"She's in pain, and I think that's what's stopping her from getting her sleep."

"I wish we could do something." Kirsten said worriedly.

"I know so do I," Haley agreed.

"Guys she'll be fine, everyone will be fine." Sandy assured them

"I just hope your right Sandy." Haley said going to sit by Liz. It was only 5 o' clock in the afternoon, but everyone felt like it was midnight so lots of people were sleeping. Jimmy had fallen asleep next to Madi, who was awake because of pain. Scott, Ivy, and Ella were all asleep. Liz was just about there, but her worries for her sister were keeping her awake. There was no way Kirsten would sleep at all through any of this, what with the condition if her grandchildren and the whereabouts of her children.

"I'll get her." Kirsten said standing to the noise of Ella crying.

(AT SUMMER"S STORE)

"Ryan please wake up," Seth begged. It had been 3 and ½ hours since he had been knocked unconscious and he was still out of it.

Marrissa and Summer had fallen asleep in the next room on some spare blankets and Seth was standing watch over Ryan.

"Ryan please I'll do anything if you just wake up. I'll forgive you anything just wake up. Don't die on me man."

Ryan rolled over.

"OMIGOD!" Seth yelled knowing that Ryan was now conscious just sleeping was a relief but he still needed to wake Ryan up.

"Ryan please wake up. Ryan? Ryan?" Seth said leaning next to Ryan.

"Ugh," Ryan said groggily.

"Ryan please,"

"Ugh," Ryan said rolling back to face Seth.

"Ryan thank god!" Seth said grabbing a bottle of water. He put it to Ryan's mouth and forced some of the liquid down.

"Ugh Seth?" Ryan asked.

"Ryan sit up man, please sit up,"

"O-kay," Said Ryan shakily.

"Good job," Seth said when Ryan sat up.

"What happened?" Ryan asked in between deep breaths.

"Here have a little more water. A window blew in at you."

"Oh god." Ryan said.

"You'll be fine." Seth said reassuring himself more than Ryan.

"Seth is he still out of it?" Marrissa asked as she woke up.

"No." Seth said.

"Oh god." Said Marrissa rushing to Ryan and kissing him on the forehead.

"Hi babe." Ryan said showing a half smile.

"Seth is he going to be okay?" Marrissa asked.

"Yes he'll be fine." Seth said.

"I'm going to catch some shut-eye with the wife. Marrissa keep changing the gauze, and Ryan no falling asleep."

"Okay dude." Ryan said taking another small sip of water.

Seth went into the next room, and woke Summer.

"Summer wake up!" Seth said.

"What Seth? Is Ryan okay?" Summer said waking up.

"He's awake if that's what you mean."

"No I mean is he okay?"

"If he gets to the hospital within 3-4 hours he should be."

"If not?"

"He lost to much blood. Our supply of water may not be enough for him."

"Oh god."

"But like I said the storm should be over by then he just needs medical attention and he'll be fine."

"Let's pray he's okay."

"Since when do you pray?"

"Cohen now is not the time for lame humor."

"Fine I'm going to get some sleep."

"Do you want me to stay with you?"

"Yes please." Seth said and they lied down on the blankets Set's arm draped around Summer.

(AT THE COHEN HOUSE)

"Okay sweetie okay," Kirsten said trying to calm Ella who was crying, and coughing at the same time.

"Is she okay?" asked Ivy coming to sit down beside Kirsten and Ella.

"Ya sweetie." Kirsten said looking up at Haley.

Haley walked over to Ivy and grabbed her hand leading her back to where Liz lay sleeping. Kirsten gave Haley a look of thanks, trying to maneuver a sleepy Ella into her carrier. But of course the second she tried Ella started crying so Kirsten started rocking her realizing what a long night this would be.

Jimmy was so tired. For the past 4 hours he had sat in this cramped basement trying to stop an 8-year-old in pain from crying. He knew the first thing he would do when getting out of here would be a trip to the hospital, then to see Marrissa, Ryan, Summer, and Seth, and finally sleep. He started to drift off when madi looked up at him with her big blue eyes she obviously had inherited from her father and said she was in pain.

"You can't have more medicine yet, hon." Jimmy said.

"But it hurts."

"I know it does, you have to wait for a little while before you can have more."

"It hurts," she said.

"How about you try to get some sleep?"

"But the pain,"

"Just try okay?"

"I guess." Said Madi rolling onto her side and closing her eyes.

So that left Kirsten and Jimmy the only ones still awake. Haley, Liz, and ivy were asleep against the wall, Ella was asleep in her carrier. Sandy was asleep with Scott on his lap. But Jimmy just couldn't fall asleep he found it near impossible and whenever he got close Madi needed him. Jimmy knew perfectly well that Kristen wouldn't get a second of sleep during this because that was just how she was.

(AT SUMMER'S STORE)

Seth and Summer were sleeping in the other room, Ryan wanted to sleep but Marrissa wouldn't let him. She gave him water and changed his gauze never leaving his side.

"Marrissa you can sleep you know." Ryan said.

"Why so you can to?" Marrissa asked.

"Maybe."

"Sorry Ryan can't let that happen."

"Why not?"

"You have a concussion it could be brain damaging,"

"I must already be brain damaged if I married you."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, I believe so."

She moved closer.

"What are you doing?"

"Kissing you." She said kissing him.

"Oh get a room!" Summer said coming into the main room.

"We had one until you got in here." Marrissa said making Ryan have another sip of water.

"Marrissa I'm fine." Ryan said closing his eyes.

"You'd be dead on your feet if I didn't keep you awake. And you shouldn't be talking so much you lose whatever oxygen you have left."

"Fine mom." Ryan said.

"Lame jokes the first sign of sickness."

"Hey I make lame jokes all the time I'm not sick." Said Seth entering the room.

"My point exactly." Marrissa said.

"Can't I sleep Seth?" Ryan asked.

"No that and talking are two things you shouldn't do."

"But."

"No buts shut up."

"Since when do you care?"

"I said stop talking."

"Fine."

(OUTSIDE)

The storm was slowing down but the damage was unbelievable. Windows, doors, people, animals, bricks, wood and many other things were scattered on the roads, and sidewalks. The storm had just about ruined the once perfect town, and the once pretty place was an ugly wreck. It was going to take a long time for the residents of Newport to repair the damage.
