St. Brown's Hospital, 8:56 AM.

The nurse with brown hair walked into Morgan and Christina's hospital bedroom, where a tall, buff African-American doctor was standing with a stethoscope around his neck and clipboard in his hands.

"How are they?" the nurse asked.

"Well," the doctor said, "Christina has lapsed into a coma. On top of that, she's exceeded her normal heart rate. Morgan isn't much better. The tumor in his stomach is expanding."

"Oh my God." she said, "their children are gonna be even more devastated than they already are!"

As she walked out, she thought about whether or not she should call the Ross residence and break the bad news to Emma.

The Ross Penthouse, same time.

"Luke! Tony! Stop it! RIGHT NOW!" Jessie yelled, her cheeks red and warm, a river tears on her face. Luke was on top of J.W, throwing one punch after another. Tony was a few feet away from them, on the floor writhing around in pain. J.W managed to work up enough strength to punch Luke hard across the cheek. Luke was now on his back, and J.W was on top of him. That's when the fight really got bad. J.W kept on punching Luke until he was half-conscious and half-unconscious. His face was now stained with blood. J.W picked up Luke and slung him over his shoulders. He started walking towards the terrace door.

"DAD! What the hell are you doing?!" Jessie screamed at the top of her lungs.

"I'm just givin' your little charge here what he deserves." J.W said. He opened the terrace door and heaved Luke over the edge of the terrace.

"NOOOOO!" Jessie screamed.

Luke's POV

Y'know, they say that when you die, your life flashes right before your eyes. It happens really fast, though, so I don't see how it's possible. I might have been only half-concious, but I was conscious enough to know that I was falling 30 stories. I screamed. I knew that wouldn't do me any good, but I couldn't help it. I was scared out of my pants. As I came closer to the ground, I crossed my fingers. I landed back first on the sidewalk. I immediatley got the air knocked out of my lungs. I couldn't breathe. It took several moments, but I finally got my breath back. I got up with a little difficulty and slowly limped back into the apartment.

Jessie's POV

Luke couldn't have survived that fall. I thought.

I was so angry. I wanted to hurt my dad. But I didn't know what good that would do me. I probably wouldn't feel any different. I just...wanted to him to feel the same pain that I felt. During the car accident. When I found out Tony had gotten raped. When Luke had gotten thrown over the terrace and could possibly be dead. All three of those things were his fault. I had nothing more to say to him. I didn't even want to look at him. I heard him come back inside. His little blonde minion asked him, "Well Sugar Daddy, you two are obviously mad at each other. Want me to shoot her?"

"No." my dad said, "I'm taking her back to Texas with me."

I turned around and said, "I'm sorry, did she just call you Sugar Daddy?"

"Yep." the blonde girl said, "He gets turned on when I call him that. Especially I give him a good time."

I tasted bile. I swallowed it. "Ok, that's disgusting." I said.

"Says the virgin."

"Break it up, you two." my dad said, "Milk Momma, we need to get to back the deluxe hotel and print out three one-way plane tickets to Texas."

Milk Momma. Ugh. Just hearing him say that made me want to lose my lunch. My dad looked at me with a serious look and said. "Jessie, I trust that you'll be ready to go with your bags packed when we get back."

He and blondie got into the elevator and left without another word. I didn't read much into the fact that he and blondie would be back later to take me back to Texas. I was just glad he was gone.

Shortly after they left, Luke came up in the elevator. His face was covered in blood, and his back was hunched. He walked fast toward me. He stammered "Je...Jessie!" I grabbed him and pulled him close to me. I said, "Luke! It's ok, it's ok. It's ok, Luke."

"Ev—Em—Emma!" he said.

"What about her?" I asked.

"Be—behind you!"

I turned around to see Emma lying on the floor, a bloody bullet wound in her shoulder. She was unconscious.

"OH MY GOD!" I screamed. Luke was hurt. Tony was hurt. Emma was hurt.

I need to get them to the hospital, stat! I thought.

I called to Bertram. He was downstairs in less than a minute. He said nothing when he saw the gruesome scene downstairs. He just stood their with a look of shock plastered on his face.

"We need to get them to the hospital!" I said to him. Frantically, I turned to Luke and asked him, "Luke, would you be able to walk to the car on your own?" He replied, "I...I guess." I turned back to Bertram. "Bertram, you get Emma, I'll get Tony!"

"Ok." he said.

I opened the elevator. Luke slowly walked in, while me and Bertram dragged Emma and Tony's limp bodies in.

St. Brown's Hospital, 9:25 AM.

No POV

The doctors worked patiently on Luke and Tony. They had only sustained minor injuries in their fight with J.W. Emma, however, was in worse shape. The doctors worked frantically to remove the buckshot from Emma shoulder. They didn't know if that would be enough, though. She had lost a lot of blood. Jessie and Bertram were worriedly sitting waiting room. After the doctors had gotten Luke cleaned and bandaged up, he was cleared to leave. There was only a curtain separating him, Tony and Emma.

Emma's POV

There was an ongoing argument going on in my head.

I have to tell them! But it'll break their hearts! They're gonna find out sooner or later! Which is more important, them knowing about dad's tumor, or their feelings?

I knew Luke was on the other side of the curtain. I had to at least tell him. I called to him, "Luke!" I had to tell him now, since I would have to go into surgery and half an hour.

Luke opened the curtain a bit and walked to my side. He walked over to my bed.

"Luke...I have to tell you something. It's about dad."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Dad...has a tumor in his stomach."

Manhattan Deluxe Hotel, 9:27 AM.

"Do you already have the tickets printed out?" J.W asked.

"Yep." Kristen said.

"Good. Jessie thinks that I just want her to live with me again, but she has no idea what we're really planning to do. Call the other girls back in Texas. Have them set up a room for her. Operation J.T.H is now in full swing."

Special sneak peek of Chapter 5!

"Are sure this will work?" the doctor asked Ravi.

"I am postive." Ravi said, "It worked on my lizard, it'll work on them."

The doctor took the green-liquid-filled syringe and injected half of it into one of Morgan's veins. He then walked over to Christina and injected the other half into one of her veins. Ravi, Zuri and everyone else left the room.

The liquid began cleansing both of their bodies.

Chapter 5 coming soon! Please R&R :)
