A/N Hey! Yey I love this story, and oh wow I know like exactly what is going to happen in the sequel, to Belle and Marianna anyway, I have a few ideas for the others...

Thanks for the reviews!

Riza-4789: Yes Russ did that, and yes I love Nick too!

Angels of Music: Glad you liked the chapter! And glad you like the story, yes it's different... glad you like the differences! And as above, I love Nick! So glad they are together, but can it last in my world of destruction? Hehe, read on to find out!

Nick sat up pushing a tangled sheet off his shoulder. He looked around for Belle and saw her, fully dressed, sitting on the washing machine and staring out into space. He started to get up. Then realised he wasn't exactly as dressed as she was. He cleared his throat instead. She turned to face him,

"Hey," He said, tilting his head and smiling, "Are you ok?"

She nodded but didn't say anything.

"I guess I fell asleep," He chuckled, "Sorry... look, I didn't ...hurt you or anything?"

"No, no, it was great I just..."

"You regret it right? I'm sorry I shouldn't have..." He paused, "Well I don't,"

"I..." She sighed, "No I don't at all, I guess that's the problem, I feel like I should," She jumped off the washing machine, "I feel as if I should, I mean I barely know you and all... but it felt... right."

He patted the sheets next to him, she sat, "That is exactly what I think, we have this weird... connection or whatever, and ok, so we don't know each other that well, it felt right and that's what matters, and I don't regret it and I never will, and I just hope you don't,"

She smiled, "I don't," He leaned in and cupped her face in his hand, he was just about to kiss her when her cell phone went off. "Sorry, better answer that," She got up, and walked round, listening intently with a worried look, "Oh god... oh my god, Hazel, I'll be there as soon as I can," She pressed the button to hang up and dropped the phone, staring pale-faced, at Nick who looked completely bewildered. "Russell's been shot,"

Hazel was sitting beside Russell's bed when his Mom ran in. "Oh my god," She said, staring down at her son, "Hazel, I'm so sorry you had to be there,"

"I'm glad I was... I need to be with him,"

"Of course," She pulled a chair up and held his other hand. He was still unconscious, the bullet had gone right through his chest and they had had to operate to make him stable. His Mom had been on a conference had been hard to contact. Hazel had been on her own in the hospital for over 24 hours.

"I want him to wake up now, it isn't fair, he shouldn't be the one in here... he's so stupid why did he have to..." Hazel burbled, feeling tears cascade down her cheeks, Russell's Mom came around the bed and hugged her.

"It's ok honey, we'll all be ok, we need to stay strong for Russ,"

"Marianna, their was a phone call for you before, I forgot to say, Hazel I think," Jamie said

"Oh, what did she say?"

"To call her back, and I'm not your secretary!" He laughed, Mari smiled, and wondered if it would be urgent. She decided to phone Hazel after rehearsals, but she got wrapped up in learning her lines and forgot. She was sitting in the canteen with Rhona and Kieran when she remembered.

"Have you ever done something. Just to get at your parents?" Kieran said out of the blue,

"Yeah, all the time," Rhona said, laughing, "Why?"

"Sometimes I think that's the only reason I'm gay,"

"Really?" Mari said, a little shocked, "What makes you think that?"

"Well, I like girls and guys, so doesn't that mean I'm bi-sexual... but I have never had a girlfriend, I think just to annoy my dad..."

"I..." Neither girl knew what to say, Kieran laughed,

"Sorry awkward subject,"

"A little," Marianna laughed, "Oh my god, I forgot,"

"What?" Rhona and Kieran said together,

"I need to phone my friend," She jumped up, "Sorry I know that was random!"

Nick drove Belle to the airport. She was still pale, her fingers tapping nervously on her lap. He bought her a ticket with his money. Then he bought himself one, there was no way she could make the journey on her own, and he guessed she would like a little support. She stared at him wide eyed as he walked with her through security,

"I'm coming too, no arguments, don't worry, I'll just drive you to the hospital, I won't come in or anything,"

She hugged him tight, "Thank you so much,"

A/N I know this was short, but I had to update before I went on holiday, but I have know run out of time so a little mini chapter to keep you going for around a week! I'll update soon, please review! P.S I love Nick!
