Until

Last time

'Do not get out of this car! I have too! No you don't! Yes I do! No…yes…no stay in this car, here in this car with Rich. I…you want to…yes but…but nothing let Rich take you home to his place, let him take you away from Jonathan. But I…you love Rich…Jonathan I love…no! You love Rich and you are going to see that he loved you back whether or not you tell him you love him…we have to go…no! Yes…No! Yes…NO!...Yes! Yes? Did you just say…yes?' Maggie was so confused and so much into her thoughts that she didn't realize that she and Rich were lip locked.

'She is kissing you dude! Kiss back! No! Yes! NO! YES!' Rich looked at how Maggie was kissing him, and he saw her eyes were closed and felt Maggie asking for entrance. Maggie's tongue started to move on its own…it was rubbing on Rich's lips waiting to be let in…and when Maggie was least excepting it…she got what she wanted. Rich had opened his lips and his tongue was now moving the way it wanted...until……?

NOW

11:30 am

"Jonathan! Jonathan! Stop it! Get away from him!" Maggie yelled as she ran over to the two grown men that were now in a fist fight. Jonathan had seen Maggie and Rich kissing and he lost it. He punched through the driver's seat window, grabbed Rich and started to pull him out of the car when Rich opened the door and hit Jonathan in the head and chest with it. Maggie had been looking on in fear the whole time. She didn't know what to do, the two men were fighting it out like they were fighting for their lives. So Maggie finally got out of the car and went over to the two of them to and stop this insanity. Which was not a good idea.

"You kissed her! You Kissed My Maggie!" Jonathan yelled as he hit Rich in the stomach twice in a row. When Rich saw Maggie coming over he tried to wave her off but she came anyway and she started to hit Jonathan on the back. Just so Rich could get in his right hook and this would all be over.

"Maggie get off me! Get off I tell you!" Jonathan yelled as he throw Maggie back, onto the floor. Once Rich saw Jonathan do that he lost it and he got in his famous right hook knockout. When Jonathan's body started to head to the floor Rich went right over to Maggie and saw that she had hit the front of her head on the concrete. Not that he looked any better, the two men had been going at it for about twenty minutes before Maggie came in.

"Maggie? Maggie are you ok?" Rich said as he picked Maggie off of the floor and carried her to the passenger seat of the car.

"He...he..." Maggie was still trying to see how Jonathan could hurt her again after he promised he would never do it again.

"Shhhh...its alright, you'll be fine! Come on, I'm taking you to the police station and then to my place." Rich said as he put Maggie's legs into the car and shut the door. But when Rich went to turn around the car he saw that Jonathan was no longer on the floor. Maggie saw that and she opened the door to get out of the car. When she did she felt a hand on her back and she thought that it was Rich's but it wasn't. The hand pulled on her shoulder and turned her around to face the person that the hand belonged too.

"So...this is how its going to be. You take this ass over me? No...I don't think so...if I cant have you then no one will. Not him (gesturing to Rich) and not that bitch of a Saint, Bianca!" Jonathan said as he took his hand and pushed it into Maggie's stomach. Rich saw that Jonathan was over by Maggie and tried to get to her but slipped and fell, Jonathan got in another punch as Rich pushed himself back up. By the time Rich got to Jonathan he had gotten in three or four good punches to Maggie's abdomen. Rich tackled Jonathan to the pavement and started to beat the shit out of him. But this fun was stopped when Rich heard something fall against the car and then to the floor. Rich looked behind him to see what he heard was Maggie. Maggie had fallen to the floor. This gave Jonathan the perfect chance. He took his fist and punched it right into Rich's lower abdomen. Rich felt like he had been hit with a blade, and as he was thinking that he got hit for a second time. When Rich looked down he saw blood on his shirt and blood on Jonathan's hands. Not the blood from him punching through the window or from their large fight but blood that was in large quantities.

'Wait? Oh my God Maggie, he stabbed Maggie.' Rich hit Jonathan once more and then fell to the floor, and saw the pocket knife on the floor by Jonathan's side, covered in blood his and Maggie's blood. Rich felt like falling and not getting up but he pushed himself to Maggie and saw that she had been stabbed too. He ripped his shirt sleeve and pushed it onto where Maggie had been stabbed, he picked her up and carried her to the car and drove as fast as he could to the hospital, the whole time pushing the cloth down on Maggie's wound ad forgetting about his own. Telling her the whole way that she was going to be alright and that he wouldn't let her go. Not now and not ever. Once Rich got into the hospital doors he yelled

"We need some help over here!" Rich fell to his knees not being able to stay up anymore, still holding Maggie in his arms bridal style. Within two seconds of him yelling there was Marie Grey, five nurses, and Joe Martin.

"Oh my God...Maggie!" Anita said as she ran over to the stretcher that Maggie was in. "What happened!" Anita said as she reached over to the crowd. She saw a young man that had been stabbed as well and was not letting go of Maggie's hand.

"Jonathan...(cough)...Lavery! He...did this to...(cough)...us! He...went nuts!...(cough) He tried to... kill us!" Rich said as he was now beginning to lose consciousness, and feel the pain now. Maria, Joe and Anita looked at each other and then back at Maggie and this young man. The young man that very well may have saved Maggie's life by attending to her wounds instead of his own. They took the two loves into the two open rooms and did all that they could to make sure that they would live, including calling Derek Frye to tell him what went down.

'What have I done, I let him stab her! I let that son of a bitch hurt her. I wont lose her, I just found her...I am not going to lose her to some nut job. I love her and I will die for her, I am not going to let her die and leave me again, not again, please not again.' Rich was thinking as he finally lost consciousness and drifted into a deep slumber as the doctors worked on his wound.

'I need you now, Emily...I need you...pleases don't leave me here in the dark. Please come and save me! Rich, Emily, Bianca, Anybody, Please help me! I don't want to die. I don't want to die. Emily, Bianca, Rich someone please help me!' Maggie was out cold and she was stuck in the dark by herself. With only the darkness to comfort her. For once in Maggie's life the fates were on her side. They gave Maggie her wish. Emily, and Bianca were now standing next to her in the dark. Both holding her hand and just comforting Maggie till she was unafraid and was not in the dark anymore.

9:45 AM

It was about 10'clock in the morning when Emily finally woke up and was able to talk. Emily was finally able to see and talk to the people around her, she was aware and she was reactive and the doctors said she could go when the paper work was done. Emily turned her body on the beg so that her legs were now dangling over the bed. Emily was staring into space as her father sat next to the bed staring at her hoping that his daughter was ok.

"Amelia...?" Mr, Howard asked as he put his hand on Emily's.

"Yes?" Emily said as she looked up at her dad and smiled. Mr. Howard saw that and he smiled back at her. Mr. Howard loved Emily's smile, it reminded him of Mary's smile.

"Are you ok Munchkin? You seem a little out of it. Are you sure you should go home? Are you sure you want to see Ms. Montgomery?" Mr. Howard said as he tried to get the last part off a little more clear. Emily just started to laugh at the way her farther had said Ms. Montgomery.

"Dad, please...even if Rich and Maggie told her she deserves to hear it from me, hear the whole thing from me. I just cant wait until you say I can go. I need to tell her that we cant be...be together myself." Emily said as she stood up seeing the doctor.

"Well good news Ms. Howard you are free to go, all we need is your signature and your father's. We are also keeping your visit here on the hush-hush. You need no worry about that." The doctor let Emily and Mr. Howard sign the paper and led them to the back door, where a limo was waiting for the two of them. They drove off toward Bianca Montgomery's apartment.
