Kiea was sitting in the back stoop of the ambulance while a paramedic wrapped her ribs and wrist. She just sat staring off into space as everyone hustled around her while asking questions and checking Jennifer over. It was like everything in her mind was working in slow motion while she just stared at the water. Someone sat beside her snapping her from her trance as she looked over at them.
" Are you okay?" Dave asked as he put an arm around her. She looked and saw John talking to a detective with Randy.
She shrugged his arm off " I'm not gonna break, I'm not glass."
"You've been through alot, it's okay to break once in a while."
"Not gonna happen. I wont give them the satisfaction." She put her head face into her hands. " I'm so stupid. He was there the whole time. I can't believe I never figured it out."
"You can't beat yourself up over this. The guy was a cop, someone you trusted. How were you to know he was the one who was involved?"
Kiea looked over to the squad car to see Nealson staring at her. She got really naseous and before she knew it she was running to the other side of the ambulance to throw up. Dave came around with John when he saw her run and just when she finished she collapsed to her knees trying to catch her breath, holding her ribs from agitating them. John kneeled down beside her and rubbed her back.
"They're ready to take you to the hospital now. Do you want me to ride with you?"
Kiea nodded. He helpped her stand up and then he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the ambulance sitting her on the gurney in the back and having a seat with her.
"What about Jenn?" Kiea asked as she laid her head on John's shoulder.
"Randy is riding with her. She'll be okay."
Kiea closed her eyes for a minute and actually felt that things would be okay.
Jennifer sat with Randy in the hospital room as she was checked over.
"Well Miss Orton I wanna keep you over night for a couple days just for observation, and then maybe in a couple days we'll send you back to campass." Doctor Stiles said as he marked in her chart.
"What about Kiea?"
"Well Doctor Brady has her. I believe she's staying also, and we notified her parents. Would you like to be in a room together?"
Jennifer nodded.
"I'll see what I can do?" Doctor Stiles left. Randy sat on his sister's bed and took her hand in his.
" I was so afraid that we wouldn't find you in time."
"You wouldn't believe what we went through. I can't see how Kiea isn't holed up somewhere.Randy she had to go through this twice, and all she did was look out for me. She didn't care about herself."
Randy kissed Jennifer's forehead " She's a strong person Jenn, and a good friend."
After a few minutes the door openned and a nurse rolled Kiea in as John followed behind. When the nurse left John sat down on the bed.Everyone was quiet for a minute.
"Are you okay Jenn?" Kiea asked when she couldn't stand the silence anymore.
"I'll be okay. How about you?"
Kiea shrugged her shoulder's.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there." John said caressing her face.
"Not your fault. It was mine. I let him in. I should've known."
John leaned down and kissed her " It wasn't your fault. It was his."
Kiea nodded as there was a knock on the door, and her mother entered with her father.
"Oh Kiea! Are you okay?" Becky asked as she hugged her daughter.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Brad looked at her in the hospital bed and shook his head " I knew letting you come here was a bad mistake. I knew it."
"Dad. You can't keep me in a stone house for the rest of my life. I have to have a life."
"You almost got killed again. What next?"
"Dad it's over. They got them."
Brad left the room, and Becky just looked at her daughter. " He's just upset."
"Mom, he's gotta let me go sometime."
Becky smiled at her daughter. " "I guess then you wont be coming home with us."
The other guys entered the room as Kiea shook her head no. " I'm gonna finish school. I escaped death twice I think I can handle school."
Becky nodded in defeat "Are you gonna introduce me to your friends?"
"Over there in Jenn, and Randy. The ones by the door are Rey, Dave, Lita, Trish, Adam,Matt, and Carlito, and this is John. My boyfriend."
Becky shook John's hand " I knew my daughter had good taste, you prove it."
John laughed while Kiea started to blush.Kiea stopped smiling for a second and looked at her mother seriously.
"Did they find Levi yet?"
Becky shook her head "They said they'd let us know when they come across anyhing."
Kiea nodded her head as Brad stuck his head in the door. "Are you ready to go Beck?"
"I guess. Are you gonna come kiss your daughter goodbye?"
Brad came in and looked down at Kiea " I guess you get your stubborness from me, huh?"
Kiea smiled "Among other things. Daddy I'm really..."
"It's fine. I'm sorry I was a little short with you." Brad leaned down and hugged her gently " I just don't want anything to happen to you."
"It wont. I have really good friends and a great boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?"Brad asked as he let her go. John stuck out his hand.
"I'm John Cena, the boyfriend."
Brad shook his hand " Good strong handshake, and your looking me in the eye. Those two things have never happened with any of her other boyfriends. They were afraid of me."
"I'm not sir."
Brad looked impressed " We'll be back in a couple days Kie." He then looked at John " We'll see if the fear changes by then."
John laughed as her parents left.
When visiting hours were over Kiea, and Jennifer laid in their beds and looked at the ceiling.
"Hey Kiea?"
"Yeah."
"I could use a vacation."
Kiea laughed " Me too. Goodnight Jenn."
"Night."
When the pain medication took effect both girls fell asleep and for once no dreams came.
