A/N: I forgot to mention in earlier chapters that I don't own Lennon either. She belongs to SweetGA07. Please read and review. Enjoy!
"Caroline..." Chris began as he quickly got off the bed and stood there looking at her as she continued to glare at him.
"I'm not going to ask again Chris."
"You were in a wreck...you got drunk, ran off the road and hit a tree."
"Okay, that still doesn't explain what the fuck I'm doing here." She said and he sighed.
"You broke your leg and you have a concussion. When you hit your head, you hit it hard enough and...you lost some of your memory. I went to the hospital with Dusty and Aleister and you had forgotten about the fact that we had broken up."
"Bullshit! Even with a concussion there s no way that I could ever forget that."
Chris groaned, running a hand through his hair as he sat down on the foot of the bed and looked at her. "I wouldn't lie to you about something like this Caroline...you know me better than that. I want you back but I won't lie to you to make it happen."
Caroline stared at him for a minute before taking a slow deep breath. "Okay, let's say that I believe you for the moment...that still doesn't explain what I'm doing here in your bed with you."
"Like I said, you had forgotten all about the fact that we had broken up and you told me in the hospital that you wanted to go home to our house. The doctor wouldn't release you unless you had someone to keep an eye on you because of your leg and I said that you could stay with me. You were already convinced that we were still together and it would have been too difficult to try to explain to you why you couldn't come back here."
"This is unbelievable! How long have I been here?"
"Only a couple of days now. I've laid in bed at night with you until you fall asleep and then I go downstairs and sleep on the couch...it had been working until this morning when you were up a little earlier than usual." Chris said, watching as she leaned her head back against the headboard and closed her eyes. "Can I ask you something?"
Caroline lifted her head and looked at him. "What?"
"Dusty, Aleister and I hadn't heard from you in two weeks before this happened...do you remember at all where you were? How did you end up in Tallahassee?"
"I remember talking to Aleister about that night between us because you had told him where I was. He gave me some advice on the whole situation and the more I thought about it...the more I just needed to get away. I got in my car and drove until I felt I put enough distance between us, rented a hotel room there and just started drinking until I stopped thinking about shit."
"What the hell made you think that getting behind the wheel of a car was the smart thing to do when you had been drinking?" Chris questioned and she sighed.
"I had went out to a bar that night and I honestly didn't think that I had had that much to drink but apparently I was wrong."
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. When Dusty got the call that you had been in an accident and we didn't know how bad you were hurt...that scared the hell out of me."
Caroline tried to ignore the feeling of guilt that settled in the pit of her stomach and she reached over to grab her cell phone off the nightstand.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to call Dusty and have her and Aleister come and get me. Now that I have my memory back there's no reason for me to stay here." She said as she dialed her sister's number.
{}{}{}{}{}
Dusty groaned as the sound of her phone ringing pulled her out of her nap and she sat up on the couch, grabbing it off the coffee table. "Hello?"
"Dusty it's me. My memory came back a little while ago and I need you and Aleister to come and get me."
She looked up as Aleister came downstairs and saw that he was shaking his head. "Linny I can't...Aleister, Lennon and I are in Miami for a few days visiting a friend of his that's here from England so you re just going to have to stay with Chris until we get back."
"What?! You can't be serious! Dusty there's no way in hell I can stay here!"
"Well, I don't see where you have much of a choice sis. The doctor said that you need someone to keep an eye on you because of your leg and since Aleister and I aren't home...the only one who can do it is Chris."
"This is such bullshit! I can't believe that you are doing this to me!"
Dusty felt the anger rising in her and she growled. "We didn't do a damn thing to you! You are the dumbass who got drunk and got behind the wheel of the car so don't try and put that shit on us! I know you're still mad at Chris for what he did to you and I can't blame you but he is still in love with you and he is sorry for what happened. Why don't you pull your head out of your ass and stop being so damn stubborn? Use this time to talk to him and try to work things out."
"There's nothing to work out!"
"Yes there is and you know it. Even if you two don't end up getting back together, you need to at least talk things out so you can be civil to each other. Chris is one of Aleister's best friends and you're my sister which means there are going to be times when you're both around us at the same time and I won't deal with you always bitching at him." Dusty stated, smacking Aleister's shoulder when he sat down on the couch and began to nibble on her neck. "I've got to hang up now but I'll call you again later tonight and see how you're doing." She hung up the phone and laughed. "Knock it off."
"Sorry baby but watching you get all pissed off got me hard as hell. I just got Lennon down for her nap so why don't we go upstairs and have a little fun?"
Dusty smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, laying down on the couch and pulling him on top of her. "Who says we have to go upstairs for that?"
Aleister chuckled and kissed her passionately. "Now I know why I married you...my little vixen."

Caroline growled and tossed her phone on the bed. "Dammit!"
"Caroline calm down."
"Don't fucking tell me to calm down! The last fucking thing I want to do is be here with you!"
Chris sighed and stood up, glaring at her. "You know what? I've had enough of this shit! Yes, I know I broke your heart and yes, I know I fucking made a mistake when I broke up with you! I'm trying to fix that mistake and make things right with you but you're so damn stubborn you won't let go of the past! I'm in love with Caroline and I still want to be with you but I can't do anything to make things right when you have such a big thick wall built up around you that I can't find a way through! When you decide to take that wall down and let me in let me know alright? Because until then...I'll help you with things that you need but that's it!"
She watched in shock as he turned around and walked out of the bedroom without another word. "Well...fuck."
