Weeks went by and the doctors finally moved Noelle to a room of her own after the transfusion was done with, and she was finally off the breathing machine. Everyone stayed by her side day and night as long as they were allowed. Bob and Jenna were spending all their time at a lawyer's office trying to get custody of Noelle. Connor, Randy, John, and Trish were sitting in Noelle's room talking and playing cards at the table when all their worrying could finally come to an end.

"Connor?"

Connor jumped from his chair and was by Noelle's side in a second.

Noelle looked at him and then around the room "What's going on? Why am I here?"

"Do you remember what happened? Why would you do that?"

"I needed a way out." Noelle looked down at her bed "I couldn't take it anymore. Mom always said it would have been better if I was never born; I was just giving her, her wish. I would've died there anyways."

Connor wrapped her in a hug and that's when Noelle noticed the other people in her room.

"Who are you?"

Connor released her and looked at the others "Noelle I want you to meet someone. This is….."

Noelle's door opened and Becky and Dan walked in.

"Look who's awake." Becky said closing the door behind them. Noelle's grip on Connor's shirt tightened, and everyone noticed.

Dan smirked "How are you feeling today sweetie?"

Noelle didn't say anything and just looked. Why were they being nice?

Becky walked over and kissed her forehead. "Since you're awake the doctor's may let you go home tomorrow if everything's okay. I can't wait to get you home. We miss you."

"We'll let you visit with friends, and come back later. " Dan said also kissing her head then grabbing Becky's hand they walked out the door.

Noelle released a shaky breath she was holding as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I'm confused. What's happening?"

"Shhh. They're just trying to get to you, and show us that they actually care. I know better. Before we were interrupted I wanted to introduce someone to you."

Connor motioned for Randy to come over "This is Randy Orton. His dad just found out that he's your Dad. Randy here is your brother."

Noelle didn't know what to think or say at first "No! Are you sure?"

Connor nodded his head "They did a DNA test while you were out and it confirmed it. He's family."

"NO! Why would they do that! You just come and find me after all this time, and you say your family!"

Randy touched her hand "Noie?"

"Don't call me that!" Noelle said jerking her hand away."

"Look we didn't know anything about you till like a couple weeks ago, and my dad wanted to find you right away. I swear we didn't know you were born until we got the note from Megan." Randy said trying to reason.

"My aunt Megan?"

Randy nodded.

"Why wouldn't she tell me? Why would she keep something like this from me?"

Randy just shrugged.

Noelle looked at the others sitting down "Who are they?"

"My friends. That's John, and Trish."

There was silence till the door to her room opened again, and a nurse came in with two other people.

"Welcome back my dear. You gave everyone a scare." The nurse said taking her blood pressure.

"When can I leave?"

"You lost a lot of blood dear. You'll probably have to speak to a psychologist for a few weeks before the doctor will even consider releasing you."

The nurse left but the other two people stayed. The guy stepped up first. "My name is Bob Orton Noelle, and this is my wife Jenna. I just found out that I'm…"

"My father? Connor told me everything."

"I didn't know how you would take the news."

"Not to much surprises me anymore. So are you here to tell me hi, and even though I'm your blood you have a life, and I just can't interfere? Let me guess moms in for a payday, and that's why she acknowledged my existence earlier."

"We're not gonna push you into a closet. We want you to come live with us."

"What?"

"We spoke to a lawyer, and I have a chance at getting custody of you if you would like me too. It's your decision."

Jenna gathered everyone up "Let's let you get some rest, and we'll come back later. You take all the time you need to think about this. We don't want to rush you."

Noelle saw Connor getting ready to walk out the door "Can you wait a minute?"

Connor nodded and when everyone else left Connor sat on her bed again. "What's up?"

"I wanna go."

"Are you sure? You don't know them."

"It's not rocket science. Live with my Mom, and Dan. Get beat, and Raped, probably killed before my eighteenth birthday or move in with my actual father, get to know him, and maybe have a chance at a good life."

Connor pulled her into a hug. "I'll miss you. I hope you find the life you're looking for though."

Noelle smiled and as Connor left she laid back looking at the ceiling and fell asleep thinking of what she really wanted, and hoped her prayers would finally be answered.
