Everyone was now crowded in Heather's hospital room while they were hoping that she would wake up. Josh, Blaineley, Geoff, Owen and Bridgette. Blaineley was glaring at Bridgette for the actions that Heather and her were responsible for at the party. Geoff was just concerned about his friend.
"I can't believe you would go to a party and do this." Blaineley told Bridgette. "You've always been way more responsible then this."
"Heather was the one who was doing everything you wouldn't like." Bridgette sighed. "I didn't want to see her do half of the crap she's been doing."
"Why didn't you call us?" Josh asked Bridgette. "We would have come and got the two of you!"
"Do you really think Heather would have went with you?" Bridgette crossed her arms and sat in a chair in the corner.
"Heather's always done things like this." Geoff assured Blaineley. "It's how Chris raised her, she was allowed to do whatever she wanted. I don't think she would have listened to anyone. I called Alejandro but I don't think he's coming back."
"Did they always have a rocky relationship like this?" Blaineley asked. "It seems unhealthy to me."
"Heather and Alejandro always act like this." Geoff shrugged. "We're all used to it. I mean, she was the Daughter of a famous TV host and his Father is a wealthy dude, it's like they live by their own rules."
"I can see that..." Blaineley sighed. "What the hell am I supposed to do with her?"
"Assuming she makes it?" Bridgette asked Blaineley. "Maybe you can lock her up with me and Owen."
"I don't lock you kids up." Blaineley told them. "I just like to know what my kids are doing...and wearing!"
"I think maybe I should go home after all of this..." Geoff told them. "You have all been so nice to me but I think I'm ruining this family and it's weird for me to be here while Heather is adjusting to you guys."
"No, you can stay!" Bridgette jumped up from her seat. "Mother, tell him that he can stay."
"It's not really that big of a deal." Josh smiled at Geoff. "We're happy to have you for a few more days."
"Hey guys..." Heather groaned as she groggily interrupted the conversation and looked at everyone. "How long have I been out?"
"Heather!" Owen jumped up and hugged her. "We were so worried about you!"
"You shouldn't worry about me." Heather coughed and then looked over to Blaineley. "Uh...Hi Blaineley. How was your evening?"
"Fine, until I got called to come and get you." Blaineley told her. "Don't you ever pull a stunt like this again. You're lucky you're even alive! You're grounded, that means you're going to school and then work and then home."
"You can't be serious..." Heather groaned. "This isn't the first time this happened."
"I'm just glad you're okay, brah." Geoff hugged her. "I'm staying with you and your family for a few more days so I'm sure we can have some ground fun! I've never really been grounded though."
"I'll show you how it's done!" Owen told them. "I get grounded all the time."
"Can I go home now?" Heather asked. "I had a rough note and I feel like I've been hit by a fucking truck. Geoff, where's Alejandro? Did you call and tell him I was here?"
"Yeah, I called him." Geoff told her. "He didn't answer his phone so I left him a voicemail."
"We'll go and talk to the nurses about getting you home." Josh told her and then he and Blaineley left the room, leaving Heather alone with Geoff, Bridgette and Owen. When they left the room, Heather slammed her head against her pillow.
"I hate this so much and I feel like shit." Heather told them. "I hate this life! I should have just left Alejandro go to that stupid party with me, then we could have gotten trashed and I could have just left with him."
"Wait...You were going to leave?" Owen asked. "After we just became a family again?"
"I'm sorry Owen, I just hate this whole thing and I want to be with my Dad." Heather sighed. "He's the one who raised me and he's so much better at parenting then Blaineley is."
"Can't you at least try?" Bridgette sighed. "You belong here and you could at least try to give them a chance! They searched for years looking for you and you've always been the favorite even though you weren't here. The least you can do is pretend to be happy."
Bridgette stormed out of the hospital room, leaving Heather alone with Geoff and Owen. Owen was more concerned with Heather but she knew that Geoff liked Bridgette, she knew him for years and could tell that he liked her.
"Just go." Heather sighed and pointed to the door. "You know you'd rather make sure she's okay, I'm fine."
"Thanks Heather." Geoff gave her the thumbs up and ran after Bridgette to make sure Bridgette was okay.
As Geoff ran out to see Bridgette, Josh and Blaineley came back in to see Owen smiling at Heather and Heather looking like she was ready to fall asleep.
"If you can manage to get up, they said you can get dressed and we can take you home." Blaineley smiled. "I want you to come home Heather. I want you to get some sleep and we're going to talk about how you're not going to be partying anymore."
The next morning Heather woke up to Blaineley sitting on her bed and running her fingers through her hair. The sun was out and this was a creepy way for Heather to wake up, Chris never did this touchy feeling thing with her so it was just weird.
"What are you doing?" Heather pulled the blanket over her head. "Don't you have someone else to annoy the shit out of?"
"Nope." Blaineley grabbed the blanket and tossed it on the floor. "I'm all yours today."
"I wish you weren't." Heather muttered. "I'm getting ready for school."
"No, you're not." Blaineley told her. "After the night you had? You're staying home. It's already after 10:00am and Bridgette and Owen are gone to school and Geoff is watering the plants outside."
"I'm fine now." Heather told her. "You don't need to worry about me."
"I am worried about you, Heather." Blaineley informed her. "Now whether you like it or not, this is your family and this is your home and if I ever have to take you to the hospital for almost overdosing on pills or whatever you're doing and you survive it, I'll smack you in the face so hard you'll never forget it."
"Now you're threatening me?" Heather glared at her.
"Where do you think you get the attitude from?" Blaineley told her. "You want me to be your enemy then I will. Chris Mclean is your kidnapper, he's not your father and the sooner you accept that, the happier we're all going to be. He's going to jail Heather because of what he did."
"Thank you sooooo much for speaking of the man who raised me in such a wonderful manner." Heather told her sarcastically. "I'm going to eat some food, watch some TV and go to work unless of course I'm grounded from breathing too."
"I'm going to work." Blaineley placed her hands on her hips. "Your Father is already there but I'll be calling to check on you. Take it easy today and stay out of trouble."
Blaineley seemed annoyed as she left Heather in her room and slammed the door shut.
Once Blaineley was gone and Heather was sure that it was just her and Geoff at the house, Heather waited until Geoff came inside where she met him in the kitchen. Geoff was surprised to see Heather even out of bed.
"I thought you would be sleeping." Geoff smiled. "How are you feeling?"
"Like shit." Heather sighed. "I'm going to go to and head off to work soon."
"Are you going to call Alejandro?" Geoff asked.
"As if." Heather groaned. "He didn't even come and see me while I was in the hospital and he didn't even offer to take me with him that night when he left."
"You didn't exactly invite him." Geoff pointed out.
"What's your point?" Heather sighed. "You and I both know how he is! He's such a jerk."
"I'm just surprised that he didn't come back." Geoff sighed. "I'm sorry, I know how close you two were."
"Were." Heather sighed. "Not anymore. I'm going to my shift at that damn frozen yogurt shop."
"Try to have a good day." Geoff told her. "We almost lost you."
"I kinda wish you did." Heather grabbed the keys from the counter. "I'm taking the car. you're picking up Bridgette, right?"
"You're going to need to walk." Geoff reminded her. "Alejandro took the vehicle when he left so I'm going to need that to pick up Bridgette and Owen."
"I'm not walking." Heather laughed. "They can just walk home from school."
Heather grabbed the keys and then stormed out of the house to go work her shift. On her way out she slammed the door loudly, leaving Geoff alone in the house and decided she just wanted to get away from this house and this stupid situation. So what if she could of died, she didn't so as far as she was concerned it was over and done with.
One Heather's way to the yogurt shop, of course Blaineley would have to call her and demand that she come by the stupid studio to talk to her and Josh and seeing as Heather didn't want to make an already worse impression then she was already making with her new family so she figured that since she had time she wasn't going to argue the point and just go and see what she wanted from her. When Heather got there a security guard directed her to the studio where Blaineley and Josh were getting ready to do their segment.
"Hey guys." Heather smiled and walked up to them. "You wanted to talk to me?"
"I just wanted you to stop by and see how things work around here." Blaineley explained to her. "I wanted you to see some of our older reports. I actually put a few stories out there when we were looking for you and I thought you'd like to see it."
"I appreciate it but I think I'm going to pass." Heather told her. "You may have missed me but I didn't even know you existed. Thank you for introducing me to my Brother and Sister but as I've told you guys before, this is going to take some time and I don't think seeing videos of you begging my Dad to send me home are going to help. Nice try on the family activity."
"You'll adjust soon, you're part of this family." Josh side and assured her. "Maybe you can pick something for the family to do this weekend?"
"I'll pass." Heather crossed her arms. "I'm going to work, at least I'll have a chance to see my Father..."
"What?!" Josh grabbed Heather by the shoulders and looked at her. "Are you saying that you saw Chris? At the yogurt place?"
"Once." Heather sighed. "It's not a big deal and it's not like I went with him."
"Yet you didn't tell us." Blaineley sighed. "You were going to leave with Chris?"
"I didn't say that." Heather sighed. "This is why I don't tell anyone in this house anything. Now I take it you want to have his ass thrown in jail?"
"Of course that's what we want!" Blaineley yelled. "He tried to take you from us!"
"This conversation is over." Heather glared at them. "I'm going to work."
Heather picked up Josh's coffee cup and tossed it on the floor before storming out while everyone on the set just stared them and they looked at each other as Blaineley picked up the pieces of the coffee cup and then propped herself on the desk.
"I need an aspirin." Blaineley groaned. "She's giving me headache."
"I think we should call the police and get the news crew there and well hidden." Josh suggested to his wife. "Chris is going to come back soon and he's going to go to Heather. I think if we get the police involved and we get our camera crews hidden and undercover then we attack him."
"I agree." Blaineley nodded. "Let's get moving on this. We need all the help we can get to get Chris Mclean locked up and Heather to forget all about him."
Heather got to work at the yogurt shop, she was a few minutes late because of Blaineley and Josh distracting her. DJ didn't seem very pleased by it but Heather didn't care, all she wanted was to do was attempt to make a living and get her life in order and do her own thing but these two idiots that were her parents just wanted to ruin her life, if Chris was here and she was still living with him then none of this would be happening.
"Looks like your parents got this covered." DJ pointed to the window of the shop. "Bunch of paparazzi standing outside and police. We should just close early with all the cameras out there. I don't think many people are going to like being watched by the cops while they get frozen yogurt."
"I can't believe they're doing this." Heather sighed. "They aren't even hiding that well. They're really bad at this. I can't believe they think that this was going to work! They have undercover people everywhere! I can't believe they called the cops. This is just another reason to hate them even more!"
"Maybe they'll give up and leave?" DJ suggested. "I mean, don't they have like a news show they need to be doing soon?"
"I'm just going to ignore them." Heather rolled her eyes. "Let them make fools out of themselves."
"I think they just want what's best for you." DJ tried to assure her. "I'm going to go and clean out the machines in the back. Think you can handle things up here?"
"Uh, yeah." Heather smiled. "You got it."
DJ went back to clean the machines while Heather eventually stopped caring that her new parents as well as several undercover cops attempted to hide around the area. Heather refilled the topping station and wiped some tables down and waited on the customers for the next two hours.
It seemed to start getting crowded later in the evening and Heather was extremely busy ringing up orders and it got even worse when the line was backed up enough to the point that DJ had to come up and open another register and help her ring things up. They were getting slammed with customers and Heather just wanted to finish her shift so she could go home and ignore her new family some more. Heather was zoning out and just ringing people up and going through the motions, not really caring who ordered what at this point.
"Uh...That'll be $4.78." Heather looked at the register.
"Here Heather." Chris spoke to her. She finally looked up and saw that he was wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and a baseball cap. "Are you going to just stand there this time and not say anything to me?"
"Uh-huh..." Heather looked over at DJ. "Just follow me and I'll be happy to get you an application."
Heather quickly walked into the back room with Chris before DJ had a chance to say anything to her or before he come back there and see what was going on, Heather knew she needed Chris to get out of there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Heather asked him. "Did you not see all the reporters stalking the store?"
"Duh Heather, I saw them but it was worth it to see you." Chris smirked. "What have they told you? You know what, that's not even important. I know I need to make this short so I'm just going to give you this."
"You're giving me a phone?" Heather took it and looked at Chris. "I can't call you on this, you'll get arrested."
"It's a burner." Chris sighed. "Don't you know any of this stuff by now? Chef's number is in there and so is mine. It's good for one call so if you call either one of us then we'll be there for you."
"Chef's okay?" Heather smiled.
"Yeah." Chris promised her. "He's still with me. Just saw him this morning and he wants to see you but if both of us showed up then everyone would be more likely to recognize him and we would be going to jail."
"You're coming back for me?" Heather asked him. "I don't have to stay in this dump any longer? I'm sick of it."
"I'll wait for you to contact me in a few days and if you don't then I'll contact you." Chris told her. "I'm thinking by the end of the week we can get the hell out of here and Chef will have the paperwork all set up with the name changes."
"Name changes?" Heather asked him. "You can't be serious."
"We can't keep the names we have, it doesn't work like that." Chris rolled his eyes.
"You need to get out of here but I can't risk anyone seeing you." Heather started to look around and then found a tray and some empty small sampling cups and a stupid looking hat that looked like a yogurt cup with strawberry yogurt in it. Heather grabbed it, took Chris's baseball cup off and then switched it with the stupid yogurt hat and then handed him his baseball cap. She grabbed him the sample cups and threw them on a tray and then gave him an apron and showed him outside the back door so he could make his escape. Once she was sure that he made it out safely and that Blaineley and Josh as well as the cops didn't see him then she went back to the register to help DJ, placing the burner phone in her pocket with a smile on her face. Chris was coming back for her, just like she always knew he would.
