Chapter 60

Later that night Nicole was coming out of the elevator at tops and wanted to walk up to felica when shane got in her way;"Go away,shane,leave me alone!"

"How can I leave you alone?"asked he;"I love you and you're pregnant with my baby,so how can you ask something like that from me?"

"Thanks to you my sister has to face a trail!"answered Nicole angry;"I want you to leave me alone because it's over between us,shane!"

"But I love you!"started he softly and Nicole could tell that he'd been drinking a lot;"I didn't want to arrest donna,but I didn't have any other choice and even if I hadn't done it somebody else would have!"

"Go away!"said his ex-girlfriend again and pushed him out of her way;"I don't ever want to see you again!"

"What do I have to do to win you back again,nicole?"begged shane;"Please tell me!"

"There is nothing that you can do,shane,because it's over!"answered she angry;"Just leave me alone!"

"But,Nicole…"began her boyfriend when he realized that she wasn't going to change her mind and walked into the elevator;"Fine,Nicole,I will leave you alone!"

"What was that all about?"asked felica worried as she walked up to Nicole right after shane had left;"Are you two still not back together again?"

"We won't get back together again,felica,not after what shane did!"started Nicole still angry;"I never want to see him again!"

"Be carefull with what you wish for,Nicole!"warned her friend her with a sad smile;"You might end up getting your wish!"

At the hospital scott was sitting next to his wife's bed when Kathleen walked in with cass;"Hi,scott,how is dawn doing?"

"Still the same."answered he tired;"Sharlene thinks that dawn's chances of waking up again are getting worse every day that she remains like this."

"Eric is really missing you."started Kathleen slowly;"When are you coming home again,because he keeps asking where you and dawn are."

"What am I suppose to say to him,kathleen?"asked her stepbrother frustrated;"That his mother might never wake up again?"

"Ofcourse no,scott,but you could atleast let him know that he's got atleast one parent who's there for him right now."said she;"Just go home and spend some time with your son!"

"Kathleen is right and you need your rest too."started cass slowly;"You can come back to the hospital in the morning and if there's anything the nurses will call you right away."

"Eric is probably asleep now anyway and it's no use waking him up,so I will spend some time with him tomorrow."said his brother-in-law;"I promise."

"Just make sure that you do go and see your son,because he needs you right now just as much!"warned Kathleen him;"He already doesn't have his mother right now,scott,so he atleast atleast be able to count on his father to be there for him!"

Marlee was walking along the beach with ryan,who she'd called right after her lunch with Vicky;"You really thought that I didn't want to talk you,ryan,why?"

"Well,I saw how Nicole reacted towards shane and I thought that you would probably hate me too."answered he a bit ashamed;"I know it sounds stupid,marlee,but I was really afraid to call you."

"I don't hate you for doing your job,because I know that it was nothing more then doing what you had been told to do and that it wasn't personal."said his girlfriend;"You should have called me!"

"I know and I'm sorry,marlee,I didn't mean to make you sad."started ryan slowly and put his arms around her;"I'm glad that you aren't angry with me or that you hate me."

"I'm glad that I called you and that we have sorted this out."smiled she while she kissed him;"I have really missed you."

"Well,I've missed you too."answered her boyfriend as he kissed her back;"I'm also glad that you don't feel the same way as Nicole."

"How is shane doing anyway?asked marlee worried;"Nicole says that she never wants to see him again,ryan."

"He's not doing so well right now because he'd just asked her to marry him and he'd found out that she was pregnant."said he slowly;"This whole situation is driving him crazy."

"Maybe Nicole will change her mind once she's calmed down."answered his girlfriend;"Maybe they will make up again."

The next morning adam went by the station real early to work for a few hours before had had to pick m.j. up from the hospital and was surprised to find shane there,already working in their office;"What are you doing here this early?"

"What do you think that I'm doing?"asked his partner irritated without looking up;"I'm working!"

"I'm just surprised to see you here this early,shane,you don't have to bite my head off."said adam and noticed the smell of beer;"Have you been drinking?"

"Just mind your own damn business,adam,I'm busy!"answered he angry;"I'm about to find proof that donna couldn't have killed regioneld."

"What kind of proof?"asked his friend surprised;"Did you tell the captain about this yet?"

"No,adam,I have to tell Nicole about this and make her understand that I really didn't want to throw her sister in jail!"

"Maybe you should take a break or something,because you look like you've been up for days."started he slowly;"Do you want me to give you a ride home?"

"No,I don't have time to go home!"answered shane and pushed adam away while he walked out the door;"I have to get Nicole to understand!"

"Come on,shane,stop!"called his friend on after him as he followed shane into the parkinglot;"Don't tell me that you want to go driving yourself because it's obvisious that you've been drinking and that you haven't had a good night sleep in days,shane,you're going to kill yourself if you go driving in this state!"

"Mind your own business!"yelled he angry and got into his car,locking the doors;"I have to do this!"

"Then let me drive you where you want to go!"said adam worried and tried to open the cardoor as shane started his car;"You're going to kill yourself like this,so please open the door!"

"It doesn't matter if I kill myself or not if I don't get Nicole to change her mind about us,adam,because if I don't then I will have lost everything that I love anyway."answered shane and drove off.

"Damn it!"said his friend frustrated as he walked back into the policestation;"He has really lost his mind this time!"

Vince was having breakfast when mary came downstairs and into the kitchen;"Goodmorning,honey."

"Goodmorning,vince,you were up early."said she and sat down;"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."answered he surprised about the worried look in her eyes;"Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know,vince,maybe because of the fact that your youngest daughter is moving in with a man that you didn't like all that much when you thought that he had something to do with what happened to m.j."

"That's all in the past now,mary,I've realized that chad isn't such a bad guy after all and that with the fact that he saved cheryl's life has shown me that Cheryl could have done a lot worse."

"So does that mean that you're really okay with Cheryl moving in with him?"asked mary still not convinced;"You don't have any doubts about this relationship?"

"No,none at all."smiled vince;"If they love eachother and he's good to her then I'm okay with it."

"I'm glad about that,vince."started mary hesitating;"Are you worried about m.j.'s relationship with adam then?"

"What relationship?"asked he suddenly irritated;"How long do you think that it will be before he gets angry at her again and breaks up with her,mary?"

"Come on,vince,you can't keep blaming adam for what happened more then two years ago!"answered she softly;"M.j. had only herself to blame for adam breaking up with her and it wasn't his fault that she left."

"If he hadn't broken her heart then she wouldn't have left,mary!"

"But she could have told him the truth long before their weddingday and can you really blame adam for reacting that way when he found out the truth?"asked mary;"You were shocked too after m.j. told you the truth about what happened in Chicago,vince,just like adam was when he found out!"

"But I didn't drive her out of town,mary!"yelled he angry;"I didn't treat her like a …."

"No,but you did act differently towards her after you'd found out,vince,because you were in shock and so was adam!"started mary slowly and put her arms around his neck in the hope of calming him down again;"Adam now knows that he was wrong back then,honey,he really does love her and she loves him,so please try to accept their relationship and also try to remember that he's justin's father."
