Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Summerland, and I am really starting to believe that I may never...

Sorry it's been so long since I updated. I have just been really busy, and stressed. My boyfriend broke up with me after his father died, and then he told my mom that he still loves me, and then he called and told me that a mutual friend of ours died from a suicide bomber. I have basically been busy having a nervous breakdown.

R.I.P. Jeremy. We will never forget you.

R.I.P. Mr. McCormick. You helped raise a great boy... I don't know Gary, but Justin isn't bad either.

Star: Sorry it took so long, but here is the next chapter.

Summerlander: Yeah. No one ever deserves to be raped, but it does happen, and I am all about real situations. I don't know whether that is because I relate better to them though, or I just can't write other.

Hottstuffjr247: yeah. Johnny and Ava makes for interesting battles to come.

Kaithehottie: yay... so I made Casey perfect the way I wanted her to be.

All who say Tanner should die, I agree, but it is so hard to come across a good bad guy, so I think I'll keep him around.

And the wonder starts yet again...

Katie's POV

They let me go home that night, but ever since Bradin had gone, and talked to his Aunt at the hospital he ha been kind of weird. I sat on the couch, uncomfortably, but wouldn't you be uncomfortable if you had stitches where I had them?

"Hey, where's Bradin?" Susannah asked after putting Derrick back in bed.

"He said something about ice cream, and left." I replied as a winced.

"How's your sister?" she turned to Leo.

"Ask her." He was referring to me.

"No. Casey." Susannah laughed.

"Don't know. Don't care. She isn't really a sister to me." Leo replied.

"Is this about the whole fight over Bradin, throw a hissy when your sister needs you thing?" Susannah sat on the arm of the couch.

"There is no fight." Bradin was back. "Hi, Baby." He kissed me.

"B, no in house dating." Susannah reminded him.

"If Johnny and Aunt Ava can do it, so can we." He sat next to me, and I winced again.

"So, Nikki, what's the verdict on your leg?" Susannah quickly changed the subject.

"Broken ankle. What was that about Aunt Ava and Johnny?" she replied.

"They are together, so that means that I can date Katie." He responded as he kissed the back of my hand.

Leo's POV

I sat there dumbfounded. I hated hypocrites. I always had. Now, they were telling me that I lived with one, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that all adults are hypocrites. They say one thing and do another.

I watched Susannah leave the room to go call Ava's cell phone, and I watched Bradin and Katie start to kiss. I didn't mind Bradin, but if I ever ran into to Tanner... God, forbid what I may do to him.

"Want to go for a walk?" Nikki asked me tilting her head towards our siblings.

"Please." I stood up, and grabbed my jacket.

We walked along the beach, and talked about her latest adventure in reading, The Scarlet Letter. "So, kid, how old did you say you were?" I asked her.

"14. I'll be 15 tomorrow, but I doubt anyone remembered." She smiled weakly.

"I'll remember." I assured her.

"Thanks, Leo." We continued our walk in silence.

Ava's POV

I sat in the room with Jay and Casey who had finally come to. Johnny had gone to go get me a coffee. Casey scratched at her bandages as Jay lectured her.

"What were you even thinking? Did you think of me, Leo, KATIE? You must be crazy to think I'm taking you home anytime soon. You are staying here. They'll put you in the psych ward, and help you. You can't go home like that because number one, Bradin doesn't like you like that, and number two, even if he did, there is the no in house dating rule!" He ranted.

"Mr. Robertson, she is not in any condition to be reprimanded for her actions." Dr. Friedman entered. "I need to take vitals. You should go home. There is no use to stay here."

"Come on, Jay. We'll come see you tomorrow, Case." We walked out to the waiting room, and met Johnny on our way.

He grabbed my hand in his, and we all left for home.

Johnny's POV

As we walked into the house, we saw Bradin and Katie making out on the couch. "How dare you, Bradin Westerly!" Ava shrieked.

"How dare you, Ava Gregory!" He replied. "At least I have the common decency to do something like this in my own home, not in front of the hospital."

"Excuse me?" Ava said quietly.

"Johnny was trying to swallow your head apparently." Bradin stood up. "I saw you two."

"Bradin." I said with a warning tone to my voice.

"Johnny, save it." He said. "I refuse to be played like an ignorant child."

"Watch it, Bradin." I said again.

"No. You watch it. Watch it as Katie and I walk away from this bullshit, and go outside." Bradin grabbed Katie's hand, and she waddled along side of him.

"Jesus, you guys." Jay said. "Now my poor cousin is out there with a heated Bradin, and Rapist Tanner somewhere." He ran out the door after them.

Nikki's POV

"Aunt Ava!" I called as I got into the house she and Johnny were in the kitchen.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Is it true that you and Johnny are an item?" I was bold about it.

"Yes. Yes. Yes." She answered over excitedly.

"Good. Then Leo has something to tell you." I nudged him fore ward.

"Nikki and I are a couple." He blurted out.

Cliffies... yay! Okay review guys... thanks a lots.
