Kungfukitty2006- glad the last chapter made more sense. Thanks for reviewing and giving me your opinion.

Darth Ergo- thank you for your review and I hope you enjoy their little talk.

Cookie044- Thank you for your review and I hope this chapter doesn't make you cry too.

To all- thank you al so much for reviewing and telling me what you think of this story, well I'm almost finished here, about another chapter or two. So please review and let me know what you all think about how it is so far. And thank you for taking time out of your day to review I really appreciate this.

Dedication- this poem and chapter goes to all those who have been hurt by the people or person who loved them. Or the person you loved but didn't return it. Heart ache is the worst pain ever because it never goes away I'm only 15 and I know this. They say 'it's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all.' Well they should try it sometime, because it's far worse.

You know I think about it often,

Sort of a little haunting memory,

It kills me everyday,

Not knowing how you are,

It all happened so quickly,

You here one moment and gone the next,

I wonder if maybe if things hadn't gone the way they did,

Would we still be here? In the same situation?

I always looked to you to protect me from harm,

It's kind of ironic; the one thing I thought would keep harm away,

Brought harm to me,

The pain I feel, it's unlike any other, this never goes away,

There are times where you can be a distant memory

And others you sitting next me,

Nothing is the same,

Everywhere I go I've been with you or thought about going with you,

My room isn't even safe anymore,

You've been there; you've been into my head,

I can't even think without thinking of you,

You haunt my life,

I always saw you as someone different,

Someone willing to know me,

Someone who could change my life for the better,

But you changed it for the worst,

You know how it is,

Oh wait, you don't know,

You left me alone,

To cry at night in my sleep,

You left me broken and unable to hold another relationship,

You left me unable to trust another,

You left me on the street with nothing but the memories,

You don't know and I know you don't care,

You made my mind unstable,

I start to cry, thinking why did you leave me?

At first I thought I was unwanted and could never be loved,

Because of you, I'm scared to grow close to another person, and give them my heart,

Because you decided to ruin my life,

I go through so much pain, thanks,

I thought you knew, but I guess not,

But thanks for all the pain.

Rick and Evy walked down the hallway and towards the end where a sliding door resided. Rick slid it open and followed Evy out into the garden the hospital had in the back. The rain poured down and soaked them as they stood there.

Evy titled her head back and closed her eyes feeling the water fall on her face and roll down her neck. Rick sat under a tree watching as her hair went quickly from dry to soaked and her hospital gown clung to her moist body.

Evy began to turn in small circles as the rain fell harder. A smile spread across her face as she began to spin faster and faster. Rick looked over to her and began to laugh as she enjoyed her self.

As she stood there spinning, she began to loose balance and fell, but fortunately Rick jumped up and got hold of her. Looking down into her eyes he saw a spark there he hadn't seen in two long, gruesome months.

"Thank you." She said smiling at him and stood to her full height, smiling at him the whole time.

"anytime." He said helping her to her feet. They stood face to face for a moment in silence before Evy asked a question she had been wondering since the day she left.

"Why didn't you come after me?" Saron had told her why, but she wanted to know for herself.

"You were in danger." He said releasing her and turning away. "I had to stay back to follow Lisa so she wouldn't hurt you. I couldn't loose you for good. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself knowing you could have died because of my stupidity."

"I missed you." She whispered walking slowly among the garden, allowing the water to fall freely on her as she did so. Her bare feet stepped into the puddles and her hospital gown was now soaked and clinging to every curve of her body.

"I missed you also." He said back following her around.

"I never forgot you, no matter how much I wanted to." She said stopping in her tracks and facing him. Their faces were inches apart.

"you wanted to forget me?" he asked trying with all his might not to pull her close and kiss her like he had three months ago in the Cairo prison.

"You hurt me terribly. My heart ached, all I wanted to do was forget I ever met you." Tears had fallen from her eyes, but it was hard to tell which drops of water were her tears and which were rain.

"I'm sorry; I never wanted to hurt you. I never wanted to cause you pain. I just wanted to make sure you were safe." He placed his hand on her cheek and felt how soft her skin was.

"It's ironic isn't it?" she asked closing her eyes momentarily to let her self feel him against her cheek.

"What?" he whispered.

"The one thing I thought would keep harm away, Brought harm to me." she whispered back and a tear fell from her eye and onto his finger.

"I'm sorry." He whispered into her ear.

"Rick, you hurt me more than anyone I've ever known. I don't think I can live with the pain."

"I know and I'm sorry." He said again knowing he hurt her and feeling hurt at how he caused her so much pain.

"Rick?" she questioned looking him in the eyes. "I'm sorry I left and I didn't believe you when you said you had to stay."

"You have no reason to apologize. This was all my fault, I should have never let you go alone." He spoke, their noses where centimeters away and they never lost eye contact.

Inside Saron, Ashley and Jonathan entered Evy's room to find it empty. Nobody was around, Saron ran outside to one of the nurses and everyone began looking for the missing patient. Jonathan looked all over, hoping his sister was alright, he silently swore if O'Connell had hurt her in anyway he would have to hurt him.

Ashley down the hall and looked in any place she might think they could have went, when she noticed a glass door that lead to the outside garden. Running over to it, she looked out and saw Rick and Evy inches from each other talking.

"I found them!" she screamed down the hall, and soon Saron and Jonathan were at her side.

Saron threw the door open and ran out into the pouring rain. The sky was now dark with a slight hint that night was coming and the rain was pouring harder than it ever had that day. The three of them stood by the door watching as the other two just stood there starring into the others eyes.

Evy starred at Rick and he starred at her, no one dared to look away. The silence between the two was like ice and the passion to embrace the other was like a fire. A small smile passed Evy's lips as Rick's hands moved to her waist. The small gap that separated them closed their noses touched, their lips now only millimeters away, neither daring to move closer, but both wishing the other would.

"I'm sorry." Rick muttered his breath hot on her lips.

"I forgive you." She muttered back, her breath hot on his lips as she moved her arms to his neck.

"EVY!" Saron yelled, pulling them apart. They looked to her and saw how dark it had become in the few sort minutes. Lightning pierced the sky and thunder could be heard in the distance.

"Hurry, you guys have to back in here, the nurses say it's not safe for you to be out." Ashley called.

"I guess I forgot you were in need of staying in bed. Sorry." Rick said taking her hand and leading her to the door.

"It's ok. I would have gone crazy in there." She joked following him.
