Chapter 13 Without You

"Guys, I found what we've been looking for." He threw the door open and they quickly approached the room. They held there guns out in case they stumbled across trouble. There they saw, Mary against the wall, in her clothes, a knife to her neck, and blood surronding her.

Reid and Morgan slowly and silently approached Kevin, the one holding the knife very close to Mary's neck. In fact, it was actually against the skin of Mary's neck, resulting in a minor cut/mark. They held their guns up while apporaching and soon yelled to put his hands up. He attempted to fight only causing them to fight back and hold their guns closer, ready to shoot. They finally got him handcuffed and took him away. They immediatly rushed Mary to the emergency room where Brit and Bree were being seen. Joey, Tami, and Dustin, who had heard about this on the news, immediatly rushed to the hospital. The only news was that Bree would be alive. The only problem was, she may suffer from a brain injury, such as tempory memory loss. She would also need stiches in her head.

Joey, Tami and Dustin all waited in the waiting room impatiently. Their anxiety increased as the wait became longer and longer. They sat their waiting for two more hours before the nurse came out again. "Ok we have a lot of news. Some good and some bad."

"Please, make the good news about Mary." Joey pleaded with longing eyes.

"Well, the good news is that Brit, and Mary are both up and Bree does not have any brain injuries. The bad news is that Brit is in a lot of pain. And with Mary she is traumatized and also in a lot of pain."

"Can we visit her?" Joey inquired, shifting his body to the front of the chair.

"Yes you can. All three of them are in the same room."

Joey suddenly popped up from his seat and followed the nurse to Mary's room. Tami and Dustin followed behind him anxiously. The nurse opened the door and left them for privacy. Joey immediatly ran over to Mary and kissed her. He repeadtly told her he loved her. "I'm so glad you're alright. That man is going to die. I don't care if, I have to go to that jail and kill him. He is going to die."

"Joey I'd rather not talk about it." She whispered hoarsly. Joey's heart broke at the sound of her voice. He nodded his head following her commands. He sat down at the edge of her bed, near her waist. He brushed his hands through her soft, wavy, hair. She stared into his eyes falling in love with him all over again. "Joey I can't live like this anymore."

"Like what?"

"I can't be bossed around, or be afraid that someone's going to kill me, or clean up after people. I'm tired of it! I'm tired of living like this! I need a job and I need a house." Mary stood up for herself. She was a hundred percent right. She was being treated like a slave and she needed to get away from it.

"Look, Kevin is going to die. I'm going to make sure of it. And Dominique is in jail, she won't be treated you like that anymore and Bree and Brit are nice, you will be able to live in that house and I will help you pay for it. I will move in if you want. How much longer do you have to stay here for?"

"I have no clue." Mary shook her head. "Hopefully not long. I'm really feeling quite fine. My body is a little sore, but that's it."

"I'm not waiting anymore." Joey knelt down to the ground on one knee. He pulled out a little blue squared box and opened it, revealing a gorgeous diamond ring. "Will you marry me?"
