Chapter Nine: The End…Or Is It?
Evy wasn't at the hospital long. They fixed her up and sent her home within a couple of hours. When they got home, Evy remembered Jonathan. "Oh my God. Jonathan!"
"He's fine. He went into the house after you left. He went and cleaned himself up. He wasn't hurt at all. He just had a little scrape and passed out at seeing his blood on his hand." Rick parked the car and Evy got out quickly, almost running for the house to find Jonathan. "Evy! Be careful! You're gonna hurt yourself again!" Rick ran after her.
She entered the house and saw Jonathan instantly. He was sitting on the couch. When he saw her, he ran to her. "Sis! You ok? You're soaked!" Rick came running in.
"Evy, you gotta take it easy. I don't want you getting hurt again."
"Rick, I'm fine, honestly." She turned to Jonathan. "Everything's fine. And Jack…well, lets just say he's taken care of." She smiled and Jonathan gave her a hug. Then Rick turned her towards him and kissed her passionately.
"I guess that means we can get married then, huh?" As he said this, he knelt down and pulled out a black velvet box and opened it. Inside, was the most gorgeous ring she'd ever seen. She smiled and started to cry.
"Yes!" Rick stood and put the ring on her finger. They kissed again. Jonathan interrupted.
"Ok. As much as I love seeing this whole lovey dovey thing, I have to interrupt and ask, how can you get married when you're already married?"
"Jonathan," Evy replied, "try to keep up, will you? My 'husband' if that's what you want to call him, is dead, so I can legally get married to someone else. It all works out fine, don't worry about it. We've worried enough lately." And with that, they all smiled, and Rick held Evy close, glad that everything was ok. They lightly rubbed their noses together as Jonathan rolled his eyes and went back to the television. Everything was going to be great.
But little did they know…Jack, was just getting started.
a/n: I was thinking about writing a sequel…but I don't know if I will. Your input will help my decision. Let me know if you want one!
