Hey everyone!! Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up, but I didn't know what to do with this, and I was kind of in a rut, until my friend, Courtney, read it and totally helped me out with it. She now gets to read the chapters before their posted so if they suck she'll tell me. Thanks Courtney…or should I say Mrs. Orton? Lol!!! So anyways, here's the next chapter… and it's a shocker!!!
-----------------------------------------------
'I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just wanted you to know'
Shane stares down at the motionless body on the bed. The machines around her beep and Shane lets out a shaky breath. He brushes a strand of hair away from her bloody and bruised face.
'I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you'
"God Lizzie, I'm so sorry," Shane whispers sadly, "this is all my fault!"
'I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear'
There's a knock at the door and Shane looks up to see Paul and Stephanie walk into the room. Stephanie bursts into tears at the sight of Liz.
"Oh my god! Liz!" Stephanie gasps, rushing to her friend's bed.
"How's she doing?" Paul asks softly, placing the flowers he brought on the bedside table.
"She still hasn't woken up," Shane replies, brushing away a tear.
"She'll pull through. Lizzie's a tough gal," Paul comforts, placing a hand on Stephanie's shoulder.
"I hope so," Shane says quietly.
Paul and Stephanie stay for a while and then they head back to the hotel, leaving Shane alone.
'I've found a reason for me
To change who used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you'
"Lizzie, I know you can't hear me, but I'm still going to try. I love you so much and you can't do this to me! You can't leave me alone," Shane whispers, letting the tears flow, "you've changed me so much and I can't live without you. God Liz, I'm so sorry!"
Shane kisses her softly and when he pulls back, he notices a single tear, sliding down her bruised cheek.
"Hon? Can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can," Shane slides his hand into hers and he feels her softly squeeze his hand.
"Liz, oh baby! You can hear me! I know I sound like a broken record, but I truly am sorry. I never meant to say those things. This is all my fault," Shane cries softly.
'I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know..'
"Baby, open your eyes… please. Wake up!" Shane states touching her cheek lightly.
'I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you'
Liz doesn't respond, she just lies there and Shane sighs sadly. He places his head down on the bed and weeps softly until he feels a hand on his head. He looks up into the beautiful eyes of Liz.
"Liz!" Shane gasps, clutching her hand, "you're awake!"
A quiet moan escapes her bloody lips and tears start to fall from her eyes.
"Don't cry, please don't cry," Shane pleads, taking Liz's hand and kissing it softly.
"It hurts," Liz groans, wincing as she speaks.
"I know baby. Do you know what happened?" Shane asks, brushing away a few stray tears.
"Yes. I remember crying and getting into the car. I drove far and I called Paul, but then a car came up behind me and I started to swerve and now I'm here," Liz explains, "how bad is it?"
"Just a broken leg and some bruises and cuts. They want to keep you here for a few days just in case," Shane replies.
'I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you.'
"This is all my fault. I should have listened to you before blowing a gasket," Shane sighs, "I was just so angry and jealous and something came over me. I lost it, and I shouldn't have."
"This isn't your fault. Someone did this to us. Someone wanted us separated," Liz says softly.
"But who would…" Shane trails off, his features changing suddenly.
"Shane? What is it?" She asks.
He stares off into space for a moment before standing up and heading towards the door.
"Shane!" Liz cries wincing at the pain.
"Steph will be back in the morning, she'll stay with you. I'll see you soon. I love you," Shane states before heading out the door leaving a confused Liz behind.
Monday Night- Raw
Liz is sitting in her hospital bed with Stephanie at her side watching the events at Raw unfold.
"Have you heard from Shane?" Stephanie asks.
"Not since Saturday. Have you?" Liz replies, turning up the volume as Glen's music hits.
Suddenly, Shane attacks Glen from behind and then runs away as Glen stalks after him. Glen heads out to the parking lot and sees Shane taunting him. He runs after him and Shane jumps into a waiting limo.
"Oh my god! Shane needs to get out of there!" Liz gasps.
Glen grabs a pipe and starts bashing in the windows before climbing into the limo by the sunroof. Shane climbs out the driver's side and puts a 2-by- 4 on the gas pedal, locking it under the steering wheel.
"Oh god! Shane's gone crazy!" Stephanie cries.
"Leave Liz alone!" Shane yells angrily, reaching into the limo, " how do you like being in a horrible crash?!"
Shane puts the limo in drive and it speeds into a nearby semi, wrecking it completely.
Liz and Stephanie stare at the TV in shock. They watch as paramedics rush to the wrecked limo and Shane runs off.
"He thinks Glen did it," Liz finally says, "He thinks Glen did this to me."
Suddenly, Stephanie's cell starts to ring and she answers it, and then hands it to Liz.
"It's Shane."
"Shane? Are you ok?" Liz asks frantically.
"I'm fine. Are you watching Raw?" Shane replies coolly.
"Yes! Why did you do that?" Liz questions, trying to sit up in her hospital bed.
"He put you in the hospital, so I put him in the hospital," Shane states.
"Where are you?" Liz demands, glancing over at Stephanie.
"I'm on my way to the hospital. I'll be there in about a half an hour," Shane says, "I love you."
Shane hangs up and Liz sighs.
"What did he say?" Stephanie asks, taking her phone back.
"He's coming here. He's acting like nothings happened," Liz replies, "he said he did this because Glen did this to me."
"He doesn't know that for sure," Stephanie states, shaking her head, "what's gotten into him?"
"I don't know Steph," Liz admits, shrugging.
A while later
Stephanie and Liz are still watching Raw, when there's a knock at the door and the doctor enters.
"How are you, Ms. Andrews?" He asks, giving her and Stephanie a quick smile.
"I'm doing ok, " Liz admits.
"Well, I have some good news for you," The doctor starts.
"I'm getting out of here?" Liz asks.
"Not yet, but you're in great condition and the baby's doing fine."
"That's good…wait! Did you say baby?!" Liz gasps as Stephanie's eyes go wide.
"Congratulations, Elizabeth, you're going to be a mother in about 8 months."
Just ask the doctor says that, Shane comes flying into the room. He stops and his jaw drops.
"Liz… you're pregnant?"
