Chapter 7

Two noses jobs and another casualty!

Sorry for long gap in updates, I've a cold for almost three weeks, and not had the energy to write or fully edit this. I wasn't going to update until the next chapter was fully written, there maybe many mistakes (sorry) in this, but after today I felt the need to post something.

So, so sad to hear Shannen's news, re her cancer. sending her positive thoughts, and love to such a strong courageous lady, you can do this Shannen, keep fighting. The next update will be a while, but I won't give up I aim to finish this, mostly because the last chapter has been written I just have to get there.

~oOoOo~

Jim and Cindy explained to Brandon, Steve, Donna, David and Andrea about Brenda's leg, liver tear and brain bleed. Dr Martin popped in to see if they had any questions, before Dr Beachump asked to speak to him, after privately getting the Walsh parents permission to tell him of the other medical complications, their daughter had, that they currently wanted to keep secret.

Raised voices were heard, getting louder. They had been sitting quietly for the last few minutes, everyone lost in their own thoughts, disturbed by raised voices they started to look amongst themselves. "You won't be suing that poor girl what ever possessed you to do that, hook up with your best friends guy. Your daddy did the exact same thing to me, and you know what that did to me. You sue her and you won't be living in my house" Jackie can be heard as she screams at her daughter.

The group stare at each other, as Kelly and her mom walk into the waiting room and take seats.

A nurse comes in, and over to the Taylors, asking them to fill out paper work. Confirming her name, date of birth, whether she has allergies and other particulars. Before asking "So you've had one nose job?"

Kelly whispers "Two".

Jackie shouts "Two nose jobs, when did you have the second?"

The nurse backs away to give them a little privacy, while making a note in Kelly's records.

"In the summer", she answers, starring at the reception desk, refusing to look at her mother.

"What?" Still sounding irate.

"Dad paid for it" her volume raising slightly.

Jackie fuming "He did what?"

Kelly nods to confirm he did, while trying to sneak a sideways glance at Dylan, hoping he'd make eye contact with her, but he was sitting next to Jim, lost in his own world, staring straight ahead. She looked to where he was looking, a picture of the Eiffel tower, why was he looking at that, she puzzled, frowning and scrunching her nose, which then hurt her nose, she dabbed at it again with wadding she'd been given by the paramedics.

"Getting another nose job, going behind my back, taking your best friends guy. I don't know what's going on with you anymore. I may not be the best mother, but I never raised you to be so deceitful! What is this, my attention is focused on Erin, and you don't like not being the centre of attention!"

Brandon angry at Kelly, and himself (for not standing up and defending his sister when he should have done) can't help himself. "Perhaps she needs, some good old fashioned discipline and boundaries, rather than doing what the heck she wants".

Jackie looks at Brandon, and the Walsh parents who are trying not to look. She thinks about those Walsh kids, well behaved and good kids with good hearts. "He's right, things will be changing. There will be rules and curfew, you will tell me where you are at all times. But before that, you are grounded, you will go to school and then come straight home until further notice". Jackie looks at Dylan, and then through the double doors to where everyone else keeps looking for Brenda up dates.

"You are banned from dating Dylan, and don't argue with me, you won't change my mind".

"No mom you can't do that" Kelly pleads he's mine not Brenda's, I won him.

Dylan looks up and hearing Brenda's name, shakes his head to clear the fog.

"It's ok, Mrs Taylor, I've already dumped her, she was the biggest mistake of my life. A distraction from my fear of the intensity of our love, and Jim trying to keep us apart. I'm sorry Jim, I know you love your daughter, and think you know what's best for her, but when she gets out of here, I won't give in or give her up again.

Jim surprised by Dylan's words, he had no doubt she would survive, the doctor said the chances were small.

"No", Kelly said stomping her foot.

"I can and I will, and if you disobey me, I will take your car away, and you will have to get a bus to school". Jackie tells her firmly.

"No Mom, you can't do that, you can't ruin me life" Kelly begs her, starting to cry.

"Ruin your life, ohh like your dad did to our family, like you did to that poor girl", pointing to the door, "Brenda was your best friend, and you stole the love of her life from her, before she had the accident, you didn't care one bit apart from your own selfish needs. And now sitting here, have you asked how she is or what's happening to her, you've become a selfish, vain and self obsessed, I think you need to learn some humility. I'll be talking to your father, your allowance will be cut. And once your grounding is over, you will be getting a job, to learn the value of money, and doing some voluntary work, to see how most people live".

Kelly looked to her mother, gobsmacked, her mouth hanging open, terrified at either prospect let alone both.

"Mrs Taylor I can put you in touch with some voluntary organisations if you like", Andrea timidly suggested.

"That's very kind if you, my dear. Andrea isn't it?"

Nodding, in reply "Yes".

Kelly looks horrified between the two of them. She tries to look Donna for help, but she wouldn't make eye contact, and David seemed to be pretending to be engrossed in studying a pamphlet on breastfeeding.

Jim looked at Dylan really looked, at how broken he was, how sorry he was, he knew if Brenda didn't survive this, Dylan wouldn't be long of this world. Jim made a decision, in the past he didn't think Dylan was the best for his daughter, but looking at him, at his up this cooler than life guy was, maybe he was wrong. Jim gets up and goes to Dylan offering him his hand, which Dylan accepts. "When we are all home, we will have a good chat, the four of us, I will try and be more understanding and the two of you a little less crazy, maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle", he looks enquiringly at Dylan.

Who nods in thanks to Jim "I'd appreciate it".

Jim looks at him, as he goes in to hug him, "You ok son?" Realising how deathly pale he now was.

"No I don't feel so good", before Jim can hug him Dylan collapses. Steve manages to catch him, and gently lowers him to the floor.

Just then Kelly's nurse appears "Miss Taylor this way" indicating the room behind her. She sees Dylan on the floor with Jim by him, "Ohh my. Let me get some help, you two go in there, and I'll get a doctor and gurney for him".

Kelly, looks at Dylan. "No I want to see if he's ok".

Brandon "Go Kelly, he wouldn't want you here and neither do we". Looking from Kelly to his best friend past out on the floor.

~oOoOo~

Ooh, what's happened to Dylan, why has he collapsed, want more leave a review.

Guest, the driver was cuffed, as the officer had a suspicion he was under the influence.
