Not Myself Without You

Lost without you
Morgan and Marissa McLean were sisters of Alex McLean of the Backstreet Boys. Marissa was the older of the three at the age of 28 and Morgan and Alex were twins at the age of 24, Alex was the protective type of his younger sister. Morgan sat with her legs dangeling from the stage looking out at the empty arena. “ Hey sis what are you doing?” Alex asked coming up behind her.“ Nothing just sitting here was I in the way?” “ No hon your not in the way.” Alex said kissing her cheek and helping her to her feet. He pulled her close for a sweet hug. Morgan hugged her brother and looked around. “ Looking for Nick?” He asked when he felt her move.“ Yea. Where is he?” “ Showering last I heard. And no you can’t go in there with him.” He said with a laugh. “ AJ it’s not fair Marissa can go shower with Kevin if she so chooses.” “ She is older than you and it works that way.” He said kissing her cheek. Morgan leaned against her brother and then sat back down. “ What’s wrong Morgan?” He asked sitting down next to her.“ I got this note the other day actually Nicky got it I found it.” She said holding out the note. Alex took it from her and read it.“ Honey we get these all the time its nothing to worry bout. Did you show it to Geo?” “ Yea Geo said that was the fourth one this week he had gotten.” “ Hmm I get a few don’t worry babe he is fine.” Alex reassured her as he stood and left her alone. She looked around and heard another set of footsteps.“ Alex I will be there in a little while.” She said not looking up. A strange man stood over her.“ Can I help you sir?” She asked climbing down from the stage. “ Yep.” He said once she was on the floor. He reached out and grabbed her.“ Let go. Someone hel…..” She started as he clamped his hand over her mouth. “ Oh no little miss. I have to get them all and your just the start.” He said laughing. She struggled against his strong grip. He pulled a gag into place in one swift motion. At this point she was crying she looked up as she heard another noise and Nick came into view.“ What the hell? Leave her alone.” Nick yelled moving forward.“ I wouldn’t pretty boy.” He said pressing a gun into the side of Morgan’s head. Nick stopped short and looked into Morgan’s frightened eyes. “ Please don’t.” Nick pleaded “ Get down here now.” He said as he hit Morgan with the gun knocking her out cold. As Nick made his way to the floor the man tied Morgan’s hands behind her and tied her legs. Nick stopped just short of the man as he stood up and pointed his gun at Nick. “ Turn around boy.” Nick did as he was told as the man tied his hands tightly behind him and pulled a gag into place. “ Now move. I will get your girl.” He said pushing Nick forward. Nick reluctantly walked forward and as he heard the man behind him lift Morgan off the floor and walked out to the van that was parked just outside. Nick sat against the wall of the van as Morgan lay unconscious on the floor. Marissa walked out to the stage with Kevin and looked around.“ Hey where did they go?” Marissa asked looking around. Kevin walked towards the end of the stage and spotted a note. * If you want to see them again wait for instructions and If you don’t do what your told I will kill them both.* “ Oh my god they have been kidnapped. But why?” Marissa said looking at Kevin.“ I don’t know but we might want to tell AJ since he was the last to see Morgan.” Kevin said looking at Marissa. Kevin led Marissa back to the back to where the others where. “ Hey Kev Marissa where are Nick and Morgan?” AJ asked as they both came into the room. “ We got a problem.” Kevin said handing the note to Brian. “ They have been kidnapped?” “ Excuse me I had just left her Morgan hadn’t been alone too long. And as I was coming to the back Nick was going up there.” “ Well I am guessing the person only wanted Morgan and Nick happened to come out.” Kevin said “ We have a concert tonight Kevin how are we going to explain that we are missing Nick?” “ We say he is ill if we don’t get him back by tonight.” Kevin said looking at them. Brian looked at his cousin with concerned eyes. “ They wont believe that.” He said to him“ I know. But what are we going to do. It says wait for instructions. I don’t want to get them killed.” “ We aren’t going to get them killed. You really need to calm down AJ.” “ No I don’t we have lost my little sister and Nick. This is totally wrong.” AJ said hitting the wall. He looked at the others as his cell rang.“ Hello?”“ Well Mr. McLean I am seeing that you found my note.”“ Where are Morgan and Nick?” “ Safe for now.”“ I want to talk to my sister.” AJ shouted into the phone.“ She is a little tied up at the moment.” The voice said, AJ could hear Morgan’s muffled crying in the background. “ Please let me talk to her. Just to calm her.” AJ pleaded. “ Fine come here bitch.” The voice said as Morgan cried out in pain. “ Morgan?”“ Alex please help us. He has beat Nicky. I can’t help him.” She cried. “ We will come get you. I promise.” AJ said as tears ran down his cheeks. “ Alex I am scared.” He heard Morgan say. “ I know honey I know.” He heard her yelp in pain as she was shoved away from the phone. “ Morgan, Morgan?”“ Not anymore. I think maybe she will have an extra visitor. But for now me and my partner will have some fun with her.” “ Don’t please leave her alone. I will do anything just don’t hurt her.” “ Anything.”“ Anything.” AJ repeated. “ Good meet me in one hour alone in the park.” He hissed at AJ“ And if I don’t?”“ Then her raped dead body will be found there instead.” “ Ok fine I will be there.” AJ said as he heard a dial tone start. “ J what happened is Morgan ok?” “ Morgan is scared but fine.” AJ lied to his older sister. Marissa looked into his eyes and understood. “ I’ve gotta go I will be back later.” AJ said standing and leaving. Marissa looked at the door when her brother had just gone. “ Do you think she will be ok?” “ They both will be safe. I think I am going to take a walk.” Brian said needing to clear his head. Brian left the house and walked down the street. He didn’t see the large black van that was parked down the street or the two large men that were following him. He walked down a lonely part of the street and walked further and then turned around to go back when he walked into the large man in front of him. “ Sorry I wasn’t watching where I was going.” Brian stuttered as he tried to walk around the man. The man grabbed Brian and placed a cloth over his nose and mouth and held it there Brian tried to get free till his vision blurred and he went limp in the man’s arms.“ Ok boss we got another one. What bout the other three?” He asked into the phone. “ We will get them and then the games will begin. I want them dead but if they win I have to let them live.” He said laughing. “ But it was just the guys not the women. You already have the one woman.” “ Yea I know but they are the prize.” “ Oh I didn’t think of that. But the brother?” “ I am dealing with him as we speak. He thinks he is coming to get his sister.” He said laughing. “ Ok well I will be there soon with Littrell. And we will deal with the other two and the girl.” He said looking down at Brian’s unconscious form that now lay bound and gagged on the floor of the van. Morgan sat against the back wall of the building tears of fear ran down her cheeks. Her hands were now tied in front of her Nick sitting beside her his hands tied in front of him. He put his arms around her and pulled her close. “ Your ok Morgan.” “ But he said if Alex didn’t do what he said he was going to rape and kill me.” She said crying into his chest,“ I know I heard him I wont let him hurt you baby. I swear it.” “ But what bout the others. I know something bad is going to happen I can feel it.” Morgan said looking at him. “ I know I can feel it too and I can tell that something is up it’s really quiet out there.” “ I am scared Nicky.” She said crying again. Nick pulled her closer and looked up as the door to the room opened and a body was dropped onto the floor. Morgan looked up at the figure that started to moan, she pulled out of Nick’s arms and crawled over to the body.“ Nicky its Brian.” She said trying to untie his arms. Nick moved over to her side and pulled the gag off his friend. “ Brian, man you ok?”“ Nick?” He said looking up seeing Morgan and Nick in front of him. He could see that both of them had their hands tied in front of them. Brian reached up and tried undoing Morgan’s bonds he stopped when the door opened again and AJ was dropped into the room. “ Alex” Morgan pulled away from Brian and looked at her bruised brother. “ Morgan, baby you ok?” He asked pulling her into his arms. “ How did they get you?” “ I needed to smoke. I was supposed to meet up with that guy and he never showed so I started walking needing a smoke and here I am.” He said feeling stupid. “ Its ok. I hope the others are ok.” “ I have a feeling we aren’t going to be here without the others being here as well.” Kevin held Marissa close and kissed her neck as he tried to calm her. His hands drifted down her body, he had heard Howie say he was leaving and that they were finally alone. His hands made their way to her bra and finally removed it letting it fall to the floor. He looked at her body and moved his hands down slowly making his way to the short skirt she wore, letting it to fall to the floor. She now stood before him naked. He quickly removed his cloths and moved her to the bed. climbing on top of her he kissed his way down her body kissing her nipples as she moaned and ran her fingers threw his long hair as she pulled him closer. He moved down her body and kissed her stomach and then ran his hands down her legs. “ Quit teasing me.” She said in a whisper. “ I wont I just don’t want this to end.” He said sliding up and pushing his enlarged member into her. She threw her head back as he thrust into to her with a quickening pace. She kissed his neck and ran her hands down his back. Her nails digging in to his back as she came to her climax, one quick thrust as he felt her orgasim coming and her body tightening around him. She threw her head back and screamed his name and fell back against the pillow as he lay on top of her. “ Feel better?” He asked with a giggle, kissing her neck.“ Yea. That was great.” She said leaning against his chest. She closed her eyes and started to fall asleep when the room door burst opened and two armed men came in“ Who the hell are you?” Kevin shouted “ Get dressed or we will shoot you both where you are.” One said throwing the cloths at them. Kevin slipped into his pants and then stood slowly, Marissa pulled her shirt on under the blanket and tried dressing while laying down. Kevin waited till she stood and then pulled her close to him protectively. “ Move now.” One orders. Kevin moves forward as one of them grabs for Marissa. Kevin shoves the man away and holds Marissa close. ” Don’t fight us boy.” One says as he hits Kevin hard with the side of the gun he is holding.“KEVIN!” Marissa screams dropping to her knees next to him. “ I’m fine. Come on.” He says getting up holding the side of his head as blood slowly runs down his cheek. They are shoved into the back of a large black van. Marissa held Kevin close as the van moved forward. “ I hope they are safe’ He said trying to keep his eyes open. “ You got to stay with me Kevin I can’t be here alone.” “ I will stay here with you. They wont hurt you.” He said his eyes closing Tears began to roll down Marissa’s cheeks as she held Kevin’s limp body close. Morgan had finally drifted off to a restless sleep as Nick held her close AJ sitting on one side Brian on the other with Howie to his left. “ I see she’s finally asleep.” Howie pointed out looking past Brian. “ Yea and she is still shaking really bad.” Nick said placing a sweet kiss on her head. “ I hope Kevin and Marissa are ok.” Howie said remembering he was the last to see them. “ They are fine.” AJ said but was cut short as the door opened and Marissa walked in holding up a half conscious Kevin. Brian hurries to his feet and helps his cousin into the room. “ Why are we here?” He yells as he helps Marissa lay Kevin down. Morgan had moved over to them.“ A game.” The man says leaving them alone. Morgan looked at her sister and then over at Nick.“ What game?” Morgan asked crawling over to him.“ I don’t know baby.” Nick said holding her close. Marissa looked over at Morgan and Nick and then down at Kevin who was finally fully coming around. Marissa kissed his cheek waiting for him to open his eyes. “ Come on Kevin.” She said as his eyes finally opened. “ Ouch damn it my head.” “ I know baby. Can you see?” She asked again as he scanned the room. “ Yea I can man my head hurts. Is everyone ok?” Kevin asked sitting up, his eyes cleared so he could see Nick and Morgan sitting in the corner.“ I have a question.” He asked looking at the duo.“ What is it Kev?” Brian asked looking at his cousin. “ Why are Morgan and Nick sitting in the corner with their hands tied.”“ Oh my god. I am sorry you two I forgot.” Brian said moving over to the pair. “ It’s ok Bri my hands are numb anyways.” Morgan said holding her hands out to him.“ I am so sorry kid I didn’t mean it.” Brian said again looking at her. “ It’s ok Frick don’t worry bout it.” Nick said as AJ untied his hands. Morgan rubbed her sore wrists and looking at AJ.“ Hey kid you ok?” He asked her touching her face. She looked into his eyes she could see fear she hadn’t seen in a long time. “ I am ok. AJ you ok?” She asked taking his face in her hands. AJ looked into her eyes and pulled her close.“ I was just worried bout you sis.” He said looking towards Marissa. He nearly jumped from his skin when he heard the large steal door open and several men entered. Motioning several men approached the girls and pulled them to their feet. Kevin tried to move but was kicked in the head knocking him back to the floor. “ What is this bout?” Brian asked looking at the two stuggeling women. “ It’s all a game boy it’s all a game.” “ What game?” Kevin chocked out. “ One none of you will live to talk bout.” He said.“ I am Armond this is Brad, Bart and Mitchel. We are part of a team that needs a new prey and your it.” Armond said looking at the boys. “ For what and what does this have to do with our girls?” AJ asked looking at his sisters. Marissa broke free and punched the man who held Morgan. Pulling her younger sister close she moved against the far wall. Mitchel rubbed his now sore jaw and turned his gun towards the women. Morgan screamed and moved closer to Marissa. “ Your girls are the prize if you live so do they.” Brad said looking at them.“ Prize I am confused what kind of game are you thinking of here.” Kevin asked looking “ The kind of game that they will watch. And watch they will.” Bart said grabbing Morgan from Marissa’s grasp and holding her body close. He pressed a gun to her head and she stopped fighting him and began to cry. “ Morgan your ok baby.” Nick said trying to calm her. “ Oh but she is far from ok boy. Pretty Morgan what a lovely name.” Bart said kissing her cheek. “ Leave her alone. Leave my sister alone.” AJ yelled trying to get to his sisters. Morgan was sobbing as Marissa was trying to get to her from the side as well. Marissa noticed a large pip on the floor she lifted it and hit Bart with it causing him to littarly toss Morgan at Nick. Nick grabbed his sobbing girl, and pulled her close. He stroked her hair and whispered in her ear. AJ moved closer to them as Marissa made her way to that side of the room. Marissa noticed that AJ had made sure that he was as close to Morgan as he could get without moving Nick. “ Bart you’re an idiot we need to get ready. We still have the rest of the boys coming.” Mitchel said raising his gun he looked at the seven people huddled on the floor. Kevin held his head hoping the pain would stop. ” Well now its time to move all of you but since I am guessing its not going to be a peaceful move. So will do this the hard way.” He said backing from the room as a canister was dropped in and the room began to fill with smoke. “ Gas he is trying to knock us out. Gotta stay awake.” Kevin said as he watched Morgan pass out first. Followed by Nick then AJ Brian Howie Marissa and then he couldn’t keep his eyes opened any longer passing out himself. Bart looked in the small window and saw that everyone was unconscious.“ Tie them all and make sure you separate the girls from the men. I want that done now.” Mitchel said as he watched Bart and Brad enter the room lifting the girl’s unconscious forms into their arms. Several hours later Morgan awoke to find her arms bound above her head she was in a standing position. She turned her head and looked to see her sister coming around. She looked around where they were being held and noticed that it was a large outside garage like structure without any doors. She pulled down on the bonds and cried out in pain as they dug into her wrists. “ Morgan you ok sweetie?” Marissa asked looking over at her sister. “ It hurts.” She said as tears ran down her cheeks. “ I know baby I know.” Marissa wished she could hold her sister and calm her. She looked up as a man entered where they were being held. “ I see you both are awake. I hate to do this.” He said moving forward with two cloths in his hand.“ What are you doing?” Marissa asked as the man approached Morgan first, pulling a gag into place. “ Because we cant have them hearing you.” He said as he pulled a gag in place on Marissa and then walked towards the entryway. “ Did you tie their legs too?” A voice asked “ No I didn’t think I should have to.” He said looking towards the voice. “ Do it now.” He hissed at him.“ Fine.” He said grabbing some rope and walking back to the girls binding their legs. Marissa looked down at him as he looked back up into her eyes and stood.“ I’m sorry.” He turned and walked from the room. Morgan silently whimpered next to Marissa. Marissa looked at her sister then back towards the outside hoping the boys would be there soon. “Kevin awoke and looked around Nick lay face down near him Howie was a few feet away Brian rolled over and moaned as he was waking up. AJ sat against the near tree waiting for them to wake.“ Welcome to the land of the living.” AJ said looking at Kevin.“ God my head hurts.” He said looking around.“ They aren’t here if your looking for Marissa and Morgan. I went looking when I first woke half an hour ago.” “ I hope they are ok.” He said.“ Me too.” Brian said sitting up.“ Well we gotta wake Howie and Nick and we best getting moving or we will lose the girls.” Kevin said moving to Nick’s side. ” Go away.” Nick grumbled half awake.“ No wakie wakie Nick or your going to loose Morgan.” “ Morgan where is Morgan?” He asked now wide awake.“ Not here. We will find them come on we got a lot of ground to cover and little time to do it. And I see we were left a map.” Kevin pointed out seeing a map on the near by tree. “ We have find them Kev we just have to.” Nick said “ I know Marissa is strong she will keep Morgan safe” Kevin said looking at Nick. Nick looked at his friend and hoped that Marissa could do that and keep herself safe as well. Marissa looked around and saw that they were alone she moved her wrists trying to get the ropes to come free Morgan looked at her sister wondering what she was doing. Marissa kept doing this for a better part of an hour when she stopped as she heard someone coming, she looked up at the man that had entered. “ Well now ladies I bet your hungry?” He asked stepping towards Morgan. Morgan’s eyes went wide and she began to shake. He reached up and pulled her gag down.“ Don’t hurt me.” She begged. His hands drifted down her body then he brought a bottle of water to her parched lips. She drank as much as she could before he moved the bottle. “ You hungry?” He asked her. She nodded her head. He brings a piece of bread to her mouth she took a bite and looked at him. He moved her long red hair out of her face. She jerked back. “ I wont hurt you. I am Brad.” He said “ Please let us go?” She asked looking over at Marissa. “ I am sorry I can’t I want to help you though.” He said as she looked back at him. He brought the bread back to her mouth and she ate some more. He didn’t notice that Marissa had finally gotten her arms free She lunged at Brad knocking him to the ground causing him to hit head knocking him unconscious. She untied her legs and pulled her gag off. “ Shh its ok Morgan your ok.” She said as her sister began to cry. She untied Morgan’s hands and then her feet. Pulling her sister close and then looked down at Brad’s unmoving form“ Come on we’ve got to go.”“ Your not going anywhere.” Rick said. Morgan screamed and backed away. Marissa looked at Rick and the gun he held. She watched him as he lowered it a little just enough for her to hit him knocking him to the floor. Hitting him a few times and kicking the gun away she grabbed Morgan’s arm and started to run. Morgan slipped and fell she slowly stood she turned around to see Rick now standing in the doorway of where they had just run from. He raised the gun and fired Marissa saw this and shoved Morgan out of the way the bullet hitting her in the shoulder. “ Marissa!” Morgan scrambled to her feet to get to her sister. “Kevin looked up when the shot rang out in the distance. Nick looked at him and began to run, followed closely by the others. Suddenly they were shot at and they dropped to the ground keeping below the flying bullets. Kevin looked around to make sure the group was still together. Kevin looked to see Nick clutching his shoulder and moaning in pain. “ NICK!” He dove for his young friend. “ They shot me Kev. It hurts.” He said as tears ran down his cheeks. He pulled Nick’s hand away from the wound to see it had only grazed his shoulder but even that was bad enough.“ It’s a scratch Nick.” Kevin said looking around to see if the others had been hit. Brian looked over at him “ We are all fine.” Brian said as he looked at Howie and AJ. “ Is Nicky ok?” AJ asked looking over at them. “ Yea he will need to see a doctor after this.” Kevin told them holding the younger man up, as the others regrouped. “ Buddy come on lets go find Morgan and Marissa.” Brian said leading his now injured friend towards the direction they had already been going. Morgan looked up at Rick who now stood over her as she held her sister in her arms. “ Get up now.” He hissed at her. She slowly got to her feet and looked down at Marissa who was holding her shoulder. Rick reached down and pulled Marissa painfully to her feet. “ Now we go chat with Armond he will want to know bout this little escape attempt.” He said as he shoved Morgan forward. Morgan moved into the large house as Cole and Chad moved aside. Morgan stopped when she got to the large living room. Armond sat in a large chair looking at her. Rick dropped Marissa on the floor and walked to Armond’s side and whispered in his ear what had happened. Armond looked angrily at the two women. “ Since that one is already injured the other one must be punished.” He said looking at Trevor who stood at his side. “ Yes sir.” He said stepping forward. “ No please I am the one who masterminded this punish me.” Marissa said looking at Armond. “ I know you’re the one that caused this. But she will be punished for your impotience.” He said looking at Marissa, he could see she was in a great deal of pain. Morgan shrieked as Trevor moved forward towards her. Rick grabbed Marissa and held her as Trevor grabbed Morgan hitting her across the face knocking her back to the floor. She reached up and held her now sore cheek. She looked up at him as he kicked her in the ribs causing her to cry out in pain. Marissa watched in horror as Trevor beat Morgan mercilessly, finally stopping when Morgan passed out. “ Put them back outside. Treat her wound and use handcuffs this time.” Armond said looking down at the girl at his feet then back up at Marissa. Marissa was yanked from the room. Marissa held back screams of pain as Brad treated her gunshot wound. Morgan was already outside her arms cuffed above her head her legs bound and a gag back in place, her head down. A while later Marissa was brought back out and looked at her sister. “ Please don’t. Let me just hold her.” Marissa begged Brad as he handcuffed her arms above her.“ I am sorry I cant.” “ She is unconscious and you wont let me help her” “ Her wounds have been dealt with and I will come back from time to time to check on her. I want to help you both but you have to let me do it my way” “ Don’t gag me please?” “ You promise not to scream I will leave it off.” He said to her.“ I promise I just know my voice will keep her from all and out panicing.” “ I don’t think she is going to wake for a while. He beat her pretty badly.” “ I know but please.”“ All right. I will come back out in a couple of hours to check on you both.” He said as he tied her legs. He stood and looked into her eyes then looked at Morgan moving her red hair away from her now bruised face he could see she was still out. He then turned and left leaving them alone. Marissa looked towards her sister and then back out the front of the garage. She couldn’t believe their luck her shoulder was killing her and her younger sister was beaten she couldn’t think of what her brother was going threw. She turned her head as she heard a slight muffled moan she looked over at her sister to see her eyes start to open. Morgan looked around and let her head drop back down it hurt too much to do anything else. She moved her wrists, which caught Marissa’s attention.“ Morgan honey, look at me.” Marissa said. Morgan lifted her head slowly and looked at her sister. “ I know you cant talk maybe I can get Brad to take that off of you when he comes back. Do you hurt?” She asked. Morgan nodded telling her that she hurt so badly. “ Are you hungry?” A male voice asked entering the room. Morgan’s head shot up causing the room to spin, she moaned in pain.“ I know sweetie it hurts.” Brad said unhooking the handcuffs and slowly lowering Morgan to the hard ground. “ Uncuff me please.” Marissa said “ I can’t I am going to get into enough trouble doing what I am doing now.” He said slowly raising her shirt looking at the now broken ribs that were black and blue. “ How bad is she?” Marissa asked looking down towards him.“ She has a couple broken ribs I am thinking maybe a broken wrist I’m not sure I’m not a doctor she is pretty bad.” Brad said wrapping her wrist, Morgan wasn’t fully conscious as her eyes looked into his. He moved the gag away so she could speak. Morgan coughed as her parched throat hurt.“ Hurts.” She said as he brought the bottle of water to her lips. “Kevin looked over every now and then looking at Nick to be sure the young man was still with them. Nick stumbled around trying to keep standing. “ Hey buddy think bout Morgan and how much she needs you right now.” Kevin said as Nick fell again. Kevin turned his attention to the fact that they had been walking for almost a day and a half. He had had them rest earlier that day but didn’t want to waste time with sleep cause they needed to get to that house before the girls got killed. Howie had walked a head as Brian and Kevin dealt with Nick and came running back.

“ I see the house I can see the house. They have the girls in a garage. Morgan’s been hurt some guy is dealing with her I can’t really tell. But I could see that Marissa was talking to him her hands are handcuffed above her head.” “ They hurt my sister.” AJ said for the first time. “ Yea J they did. I don’t know what they did.” Howie said looking at his friend. AJ looked at him with sadness and sat down next Nick. “ The house is near by we can get to the girls and leave.” Nick said not looking up. He had that spark back in his eyes. He knew that he needed to get to Morgan and at all costs do what he could to help her. He looked around when he heard a noise and nearly leaped into Kevin’s arms when Cole Chad and Bart came into view holding guns.“ Hello boys. I see you found the house.” Chad said raising his gun and pointing it at them.“ Yes and we came here in one piece give out girls back.” Kevin said standing Chad could see the anger in Kevin’s eyes. “ Come along boys.” Kevin helped Nick to his feet again and walked with the armed men. As they walked towards the main house, they could see the girls Marissa standing looking down at a man holding Morgan’s shaking pain filled form. Nick pulled away from Kevin and ran to her, Kevin close behind. AJ Howie and Brian followed them. “ Morgan what did they do to you?” He asked dropping down to on his knees at her side. “ Marissa are you ok?” Kevin asked kissing her as he looked into her eyes. “ Give me the keys.” He demanded looking down at Brad who was still holding Morgan. Brad pulled the keys from his pocket and handed them to Kevin.“ I wouldn’t.” Chad said. Kevin looked at him. “ Brad get her back up there.” He spat at him. Brian looked at him strangely.“ Why?” Brian asked looking up at him.“ Move or I will shoot you now.” Chad said looking at him. Kevin kissed Marissa and moved away from her. Nick looked at Brad and then down at Morgan who was now holding his hand. “ I can’t leave her. Who did this to her?” “ Trevor did this. Armond ordered it. I will take care of her.” Brad said looking at Nick. “ I wont let anything else happen to her. I promise.” He could see that Nick trusted him. Nick slowly got to his feet as he looked one last time down at Morgan who now was crying. “ Please don’t leave me Nick please don’t leave me.” Brad held her as she tried to get up. “ Shush we don’t want them dead do we now?” He whispered in her ear. She didn’t seem to calm but her shaking did stop. “ But he was right there.” She said sobbing into his arms. Brad looked up as Armond entered where they were, the anger shown in his dark brown eyes. “ Bring them inside now.” He said his accent dripping with anger. “ Then send someone to help me.” He spat at him.“ No do it alone. She is healthy enough to walk.” He said looking over at Marissa. “ Fine we will be inside in a few.” Brad said. Armond turned on his heal and that was when Brad noticed Trevor standing in the doorway. Shaking his head he turned and followed his boss. Brad stood and unhooked Marissa’s cuffs and lowered her to the floor so he could untie her legs. Morgan held her arms out to her sister.“ Can you stand sweetie?” Marissa asked. Morgan looked up at her and shook her head.“ Ok. I will help you.” She said reaching down and yelping in pain.“ I got her.” Brad said lifting Morgan into his arms. Marissa looked at Brad. “ You want to help us don’t you?” “ Yes I do. I don’t like what they are doing to any of you especially you girls.” He said sadly walking towards the house. Trevor waited in the doorway he moved aside as Brad moved inside with Morgan and Marissa not far behind. Kevin turned as best he could now that his arms were bound behind him. AJ nearly dove at the man that held his sister had it not been he was being held into place. Anger was building in AJ as he looked at Brad as he sat Morgan genitally on the floor and stayed with her. Marissa looked at Kevin and then sat down on the chair near Morgan. Armond sat back and watched the five men and then the girls. He seemed interested in what AJ was doing to get to the girls. “ STOP!” Everyone in the room looked as Armond yelled. Trevor looked at Armond as he sat in the large chair like a king on a throne. Morgan reached up for her head it hurt so bad and he was yelling.“ How do we make the annoying man shut up?” She asked looking towards Brad. “ Shhh.” He said to her. “ Bring her to me.” Armond said looking towards Brad. Brad looked at Armond strangely but did as he was told as he lifted Morgan off the floor. He walked towards Armond with Morgan. Marissa slowly moved as she watched her sister being handed to the mad man in charge. Armond grabbed Morgan’s sore arms and pulled her in front of him. “ What was that child?” He hissed in her face. Morgan cringed and looked him straight in the face.“ My head hurts and you talk loud.” She said bluntly. Her head hurt too much to lie at this point and she saw no reason to.“ Morgan.” AJ said looking at his sister. Armond looked over Morgan’s shoulder at AJ and then back at her.“ What is he to you? That one who spoke.” “ Twin brother.” She choked out as he grabbed her throat and squeezed. He laughed and looked back at AJ. “ Is she telling the truth boy?” He asked AJ as he squeezed tighter on Morgan’s throat.“ Yes she is please let her go your hurting her.” AJ begged the man in front of him. “ Take them from the room. I want some time alone with the sister and brother.” “ Leave my sister and brother alone.” Marissa said as she was pulled from the room. Nick struggled as he tried to get to Morgan. Morgan watched as two men held AJ in a standing position as Armond brought the whip down on his back. “ Please stop I will do what ever you want I swear.” Morgan said crying. She already hurt all over but to stop them from beating AJ she would give her body to save his. “ Anything child?” Armond said looking into her frightened blue eyes“ Anything.” She answered lowering her head. “ Morgan no.” AJ choked out as the men released him he dropped to his knees. “ Chain her to the wall.” Armond said as Chad and Travis moved forward lifting Morgan off the floor and chaining her to the wall near where Armond sat. ” MORGAN NO PLEASE DON’T DO THIS.” AJ screamed trying to get away from Brad. “ Don’t I wont let him hurt her. She is hurt enough. I wont let them hurt her anymore.” Brad said looking into AJ’s eyes. “ What can he do to her?” AJ asked as he watched Brad open the door to the room. Everyone inside looked up at them as they entered. “ He can do many things to her.”“ To who where is Morgan?” Nick asked looking past them.“ Armond wanted to speak with her alone.” Brad said looking at Nick.“ What did he want to talk to her bout?” Marissa asked looking up at him. “ I know he is still mad at me for trying to get away.” “ What?” Kevin asked looking at her.“ I got free untied Morgan and ran for it. I was shot and due to the fact we tried to get away Armond had Morgan beat.” Marissa said sadly. “ That wasn’t your fault.” Kevin said pulling Marissa close. “ I will take the watch over her making sure Trevor or Mitchel don’t hurt her ok.” “ How can we trust you.”“ I have helped her so far. Trust me.” “ Ok.” AJ said as he sat down carefully as Howie pulled his friend close. “ He might need this.” He said handing a bottle to Kevin who looked at it strangely and then back at AJ, who was now laying on his stomach looking at him. Kevin crawled over to him and moved his shirt as he noticed that it was stained in blood. He gasped as he saw the angry red slashes in his back.“ What did he do to you?” “ Something to get Morgan to give herself to him” “ She what?” “ Don’t worry Nick she will be fine I must be going or she wont you will see her again soon.” Brad said leaving them alone in the room. Morgan leaned her head against the wall her head was throbbing as it pounded. Tears ran down her cheeks as she closed her eyes. “ What’s the matter little one?” Brad asked whipping her tears away.“ It hurts so bad.” She said never opening her eyes. “ I know sweetie.” He said touching her face with a genital hand. He pulled it back suddenly as he felt her very hot skin. He then turned suddenly coming face to face with Trevor.“ What are you doing?” He asked Brad looking past him at Morgan.“ Checking her.” He said plainly knowing he wasn’t lying. Trevor looked at Morgan, who’s eyes were closed and her breathing was labored. “ Well I can see she isn’t doing to well.” Trevor pointed out looking at him. “ She is very ill. Sick with fever cause of her wounds and there isn’t anything I can do.” He said. “ And I am not leaving her alone. I will keep her cool and guard her so go tell Armond what I am doing.” Brad said to Trevor. Trevor looked at him then the girl then walked out of the room. Nick slept curled in a ball on the floor in a corner. Kevin looked at his young friend and then down at Marissa who was asleep in his arms. Howie slept against the far wall with Brian at his side. AJ slept as close to his sister as possible he had already lost one he wasn’t going to loose the other. Trevor watched the group threw the small window and then looked at Armond.“ What do you want done now?”“ How ill is the young one?” “ Very. She isn’t going to be much use to you soon boss.” “ I want them brought together now.” He said moving into the main room. He walked up and touched Morgan’s face, her eyes slowly opened and she looked at him. She hurt to much to argue with him as his hand moved down her body. Brad had changed her cloths so she now wore a short skirt and top, something that could make her cooler to keep her fever down. “ Soft to the touch, but rather warm. Drink.” He said bringing the water to her lips. She eagerly drank from the cup. She drank what was in the cup and as she finished it her eyes became heavy and she shook her head to clear it. “ Don’t fight it child.” He said laughing as her eyes finally closed and her body went limp. He sat down in the chair near her and looked as the group was lead into the room. “What have you done to my sister?” AJ yelled as he saw Morgan. “ Nothing but make her sleep she needs it. Brad, come get her.” He hissed looking at Brad. Brad hurried over and unhooked the chains that held Morgan’s arms and caught her as she fell into his arms. AJ held his arms out to him as he walked over with Morgan. He genitally lay her on the floor, brushing her hair away from her face he looked back at Armond. “ This is very interesting how one of my men seems interested in her care.” “ I am interested because you wanted them alive sir and this one is nearly dead.” Brad said looking at him. “ She is far from dead. Take her to my room and I will bring a doctor here.” He said looking at the reactions of each of his captives. Marissa reached down and pulled her sisters unconscious form into her arms and held her close. “ Leave my sister alone.” She said holding her even closer. AJ moved closer to her as Kevin pulled Marissa close. “ Shush now.” Kevin said in her ear. Marissa held Morgan close causing the unconscious girl to cry in pain. Nick looked down at her and let his own tears flow. “ Get them out of my site I will decide what to do with them next.” Armond said as if he were dismissing irritating children. Nick stood and lifted Morgan into his arms once he had pulled her from Marissa’s grasp. Morgan moaned as Nick lay her on the ground in now what they were calling home. Kevin was getting angry he needed to get them out of there and soon. He looked over at Morgan and could see she was very ill due to her injuries and AJ wasn’t any better. Marissa was ill but not as bad as Morgan.“ We have to find a way out of here. I don’t know how much longer Morgan is going to last.” Kevin said looking at everyone. Nick looked up at him his eyes puffy from crying. AJ sat down and rested his sister’s head in his lap. Moving her hair from her face she moaned but didn’t open her eyes.“ Morgan baby can you open your eyes and look at me.” AJ asked getting everyone’s attention. Nick looked down at Morgan’s face and saw that it was paler than it had been. Her breathing had slowed and she was limper than she had been. “ Morgan?” He said kissing her cheek. “ Oh my god she is burning up Kevin we need to get out of here I can’t loose her.” Nick said as the tears ran down his cheeks again. “ I know Nick I know. This is getting worse and worse.” He said as the door opened up and Brad walked in. “ What more can you do to us?” Kevin asked looking up the man before him.“ Nothing. He is out and I want to get you all out of here.” Brad said looking down at Morgan. “ How can you do that without getting into any kind of trouble?” Brian asked “ Don’t worry bout me. I will deal with Armond he is my brother anyway I can deal with him.” Brad said looking at them. He then moved forward and lifted Morgan into his arms.“ Come with me.” He said walking out of the door. Kevin looked at him strangely but followed him anyways. Marissa followed behind him holding Kevin’s hand and walking out into the open. Nick didn’t like this feeling. He didn’t like the feeling this was too easy as they went outside and loaded into a van. Nick held Morgan close, as Brad drove the van back into town. Marissa looked at Kevin who still had the feeling it was too easy. \\One week later………………….. Nick looked down at the figure in the bed. Marissa sat on one side of the bed while Nick stood on the other. “ I wish she would wake up.” Nick said looking over at Marissa. “ She will, she just needs to get better.” Marissa said looking at Morgan. Marissa adjusted the sling she wore and looked up as Kevin and AJ entered the room. “ Any change?” “ None.” Marissa said kissing Kevin as he came over to her. AJ looked down at Morgan. “ Well the doc said that she had three broken ribs some internal bleeding. A cuncussion and minor cuts and bruises. What is doing her in at the moment is the cuncussion and the fact that she was out in the elements for so long.” Nick said sadly never looking away from Morgan.“ Nick this wasn’t your fault. Did you have your arm checked?” “ Yea stitches and a bandage.” He said “ AJ?” “ Fine I wont have any scars once I see the plastic surgen. Or I might just leave them alone. Something for us to remember what happened.” AJ said “ I think Morgan like she is rememberance enough.” “ I know.” Kevin said. He held Marissa close as they looked down at Morgan. “ Why did this happen to begin with?” Marissa asked as Kevin held her close. “ I don’t know.” Nick sat alone in the room looking down at his girl who still hadn’t woke. One more week had past and all he wanted to do is hear her voice. Nick lay his head down on the bed and closed his eyes. Morgan moaned and slowly opened her eyes. she looked down and saw that Nick was near her, she looked around the room and noticed they were somewhere new. She touched his face with her fingers his head shot up and he looked up at her.“ Your awake.” He exclaimed taking her hand in his. She looked at him and smiled.“ Yep. Miss me?” She said giggling. “ Yes I did. How are you feeling?” He asked her kissing her sweetly.“ Sore and a little confused.” “ Bout what baby?” “ How did I get here?” She asked him. She looked towards the door as the others entered the room. AJ smiled and moved to her side and kissed her cheek.“ Hey there sis. Welcome back.” “ I see you guys missed me.” She said looking into his worried eyes. She turned her head and looked at Marissa and smiled. Kevin tipped his head and looked at the scar on the right side of her face he knew hadn’t been there before. Marissa noticed this too and looked up at AJ. Kevin looked at them both. AJ nodded and moved away from her.“ Did you notice it too Kev?” AJ asked him. “ Yep. I wonder who she is? I know she isn’t Morgan.” “ Good question and I can tell you its going to break Nick’s heart if he finds out that is Morgan.” “ I already know.” Nick said coming over to them“ How?”“ She woke too soon. And her eyes are supposed to be blue not green.” He added quickly. She looked up at them and smiled.“ What’s wrong baby?” She asked “ Who are you?” Nick asked reaching for her hand.“ Morgan silly.” She said giggling.“ No you aren’t my sisters eyes are blue yours are green.” AJ pointed out.“ I was sent to take her place. I switched places before you were let go. Brad knew bout me. I was given some meds that kept me asleep this long. They finally wore off and now I am awake. I am Beth. I am sorry.” “ But how did they make you sound and look so much like her.” Marissa asked.“ Voice lessons and sergury does wonders. Seems they have been planning this for a while.” She said. “ But where is my sister?” AJ asked his voice raising with his anger.“ Still back at the cabin I would guess. I am not sure.” “ Great so for one week we have thought you were Morgan and your not.” Nick said sadly. \\Hours later………….Brad looked at Morgan and touched her face she opened her eyes and started to cry. Her arms were bound above her head as she laid on the bed. A doctor had treated her fever and the cuts and bruises she had. Her fever had broke right after the boys had left. Brad knew that they had made a switch but hadn’t said anything to the others bout it. She let her tears flow freely as he removed the gag she wore.“ Why?” She asked. He looked down at her and moved her hair from her face. Her bruises had begun to fade but she was still very weak. “ He never told me he just said to bring you in here and replace you with that other girl. I am so sorry.” “ Let me go.” She said weakly. “ I cant I am sorry. He wants to do something with you.” Brad said , she looked up at him and her eyes filled with tears. He whipped the tears away and undid her hands. He knew she was still to weak to try to get away. She moved her arms so she could rub her wrists as he lifted her into a sitting position. “ Why?” She asked letting her head lay back against the headboard. “ I don’t know. I don’t know why he did this. I am still amazed that I am alive after what I did as it is.” “ But you were nice.” She said again. He looked away from her.“ I know I still am. Are you hungry?” He asked her. “ Kind of. I just want to go home.” “ What do you think they have done to her?” Nick asked looking at Kevin.“ I don’t know.” Kevin said holding Marissa close. He was rubbing her neck she had her eyes closed and leaning back against him. Nick looked towards AJ who looked as pissed as he could get. Nick grabbed AJ’s arm and pulled him from the room. “ What is your deal Nick?” AJ yelled once they had gotten outside. “ Lets go get Morgan I am not waiting around for the police to find her.” Nick said anger dripping from his voice.“ You sure bout this man. I mean we could at least take Kevin and Howie.” “ No I want to do this now and not wait for Kevin to wait around. He could cause us to loose Morgan forever do you want that AJ she is your twin after all.” Nick said thinking he was going to rial his friend. AJ’s eyes blazed and nodded following his friend and they headed out of the hospital and down to Nick’s car. They drove away from the hospital as fast as possible. Nick slowed his car as they began to see the cabin in the distance. AJ was still angry that he hadn’t noticed the difference before the girl had woke. He thought that girl was his sister only to find that she wasn’t and that his sister was still being held in a place were she would be killed at a whim. AJ closed his eyes and then turned and looked at Nick. “ Lets find away in there without getting caught.” AJ said looking at him.“ All right.” Nick answered getting out of the car, he wasn’t going to leave Morgan in there any longer. They quietly made their way into the house, Nick could hear talking. “ SHH” AJ said as Nick started to say something. Nick listened carefully.“ I told you if she was found out that Morgan McLean was to die. And I have a feeling our little decoy has been found out. I heard it from our boy that Kevin was the first to notice.” AJ and Nick heard Armond say to someone. “ But Armond she hasn’t done anything and she is still very weak” “ I don’t care Brad you nearly let them go before. And if I hadn’t planned this you would have. I can’t believe you would betray me like that.” “ I didn’t do that because I was betraying you. I wanted to help those girls you’re the one that was hurting them. You had that one beaten so bad I am amazed she can even talk.” Brad said “ Your lucky I don’t kill you. If you weren’t my brother I would kill you.” Armond spat at him. “ Kill me then because if I could do it again I would have gotten her out of here. She is very weak and wants to go home. What is it that you took them for in the first place?” “ I wanted them dead cause they had something I didn’t and that McLean got something I didn’t all because he can sing.” “ He knows me?’ AJ whispered to Nick. Nick shrugged his shoulders. “ But for now deal with the girl.” Armond said looking at his brother.“ So she is my problem because you wouldn’t let her leave” “ I didn’t say she couldn’t leave just not yet.” Armond said.“ But then when?” “ When I know McLean feels my loss. Even if I have to kill her while he watches.”“ But He has two sisters.”“ But only one twin. She is his twin.” Armond said looking at Brad. “ I still want to know why your so mad at him. It’s not his fault he was in a band before they made it big.” Brad said “ And had he asked me to join I would have had what he has now. But no he asked that Howard and Nickolas to join then came Kevin and Brian. But still he didn’t ask me.”

“ His best friend was Howie. Why would he ask you, you were always the one to tease him bout his singing anyways.” “ I don’t care. He has money and fame I have nothing.” Armond spat. “ And killing a sister that hasn’t done anything is going to do what for that?” “ Make me feel better. Don’t question me Brad.” “ I will do more than that Armond I wont let you hurt that girl anymore. I am taking her away from here.” “ You do and I will kill you.”“ Kill me then u coward.” Brad said standing and going into the room where Morgan was. Marissa lay with her head on Kevin’s shoulder Kevin looked around the room noticing finally Nick and AJ were gone. “ Where did they go?” He asked looking at Howie and Brian.“ You know this is the first time I noticed they were gone.”“ Gone oh my god Alex is mad and he will do something we will regret lets go find them.” Marissa said standing. “ No your staying here I cant have us loosing both of you.” Kevin said sternly. “ She is my sister and Alex is my brother I cant loose them at all.” Marissa said standing her ground.“ NO!” Kevin said raising his voice. “ Well I don’t care what you think at the moment I am going with and there is nothing you can do about it.” Marissa said her voice dripping with anger. Kevin looked at her and saw the same determination that he held in his own he knew it would be a loosing battle fighting with her. “ Fine but your not leaving my side.” He said taking her hand. Marissa smiled and followed Kevin from hospital. Brian shook his head and took up the rear. Morgan couldn’t keep her eyes open as she saw Brad enter the room. She weakly tried to move off the bed.“ Don’t your going to hurt yourself.” He said genitally taking her arm and pulling her back to the bed. “ I want to go home.” “ I know I am working on that.” “ I don’t feel well.” “ Shush now. He will come in here.” Looking towards the door he saw Chad standing in the doorway. “ What you doing Brad?” “ Keeping our guest calm. She is still very ill.” He said looking at him. “ Not funny leave now. Armond wants to see you.” “ I just came from him.” Brad said looking down at Morgan.“ He was angry and wants to talk to you now.” Chad said to him. Brad moved the blanket back up on Morgan and walked from the room. Chad walked over to the bed and looked down at her.“ So why is he so interested in you?” Chad said moving her hair from her face. He could see tears running down her cheeks. She was shaking now not like she had been when Brad had been there. “ What are you afraid of?”“ You. Are you going to hurt me?” “ No. That would get me shot.” He said running his hand down her face. “ Please don’t.” She begged. Chad moved away from the bed and looked at the ropes that sat on the stand beside the bed. Morgan closed her eyes and passed out again. “ Well maybe I’ll leave you alone.” Chad said standing and walking from the room. He looked up as he exited the room hearing a strange noise. Shaking it off he walked down the hall to his own room. AJ looked over at Nick and then down towards the room that Chad had just exited. Nick waited till there was no one in the hall. AJ looked at his friend and then walked towards the room. He heard approaching footsteps and pushed Nick back against the wall. AJ noticed that Armond was going into the room with Morgan. “ Hey boss?” Chad started “ What?”“ What happened to Brad?”“ He is outside. I was going have him killed but since he’s my brother not yet.” Armond said. AJ could feel Nick shake with fear at the thought that the one person that had been helping Morgan could be dead. “ So what are you going to do to her sir?” “ End it then I am going to send her dead body back to McLean.” He said “ But what bout the boy. The one that was with her to begin with?” “ He will morn her death and blame McLean for it.” “ All right let us know when you want us to move her.” “ I will do that tomorrow. For now I am just checking on her.” Armond said walking into the room. He walked to the side of the bed and noticed that his dear brother had untied Morgan and had her resting on the bed. He had remembered Brad bringing her into the room. Shaking his head he left the room. Kevin pulled the expidition to a stop near Nick’s car. Brian looked in the car and saw that Nick hadn’t even bothered to pull the keys. They walked towards the cabin Marissa holding Kevin’s hand tightly. Looking around to see if they were being watched. Kevin noticed that Nick was standing just outside the house AJ next to him. “ Nick? Where is Morgan?” “ Inside. We didn’t dare get near her yet. I know she is alive. For now.” “ For now. Alex what is going on?”“ Armond seems to know me. I don’t know him and he has it bad for the fact of what I am. And He wants to have Morgan pay for it cause she is my twin.” AJ said. “ My god we could loose her.” Marissa said nearly crying. “ You wont loose her but you have to give me time to get her out of there.” They heard a male voice say. “ How can you help her you’re the reason she is still here?”“ I didn’t want her to be kept she was ill as it was and now she is getting better but not by much. I am sorry I should have stood up to him sooner.” “ Well how do we get her?”“ I will get her please stay out here and I will bring her out to you.” Brad said walking back inside. Brad walked into the small room and saw that Morgan had passed out again. “ What are you thinking dear brother?” Armond asked coming in the room behind him. “ I am taking her out of here. I don’t care what you say any more.” Brad said lifting Morgan into his arms. “ I told you I wouldn’t allow you to do anything stupid brother dear, and what happens you do something stupid. Your trying to get her out of here.” Armond spat angrily.“ And I told you I didn’t care. You are always telling me that sometimes maybe I can use my head I would do something right and guess what I am doing I am using my head.” Brad said shoving past him. “ I can feel that your being stupid but she is going to die anyway. I gave her something and it’s going to kill her.” He said with a laugh. “ What are you talking about? You were never alone with her along enough to give her anything.” “ Hadn’t you noticed that she has never been getting better.” “ Oh my god. I can’t believe you you’re a monster.” Brad hurried from the house and out to where the others were waiting. AJ looked at him as he handed her off to Nick. Nick looked at Morgan’s pale face.“ Get her out of here. I don’t know what Armond gave her but its going to kill her.”“ What?” AJ screamed nearly hitting Brad.“ He gave her something when I wasn’t watching and oh god I don’t know what it is.” “ AJ you can yell later.” Kevin said grabbing AJ’s arm as they headed for the cars.“ Did you call the police?” Brad asked looking at them.“ Yea they are behind us. You helped us as best you can I will see if you can get a lesser sentence.” Brian said “ Thank you. I never found this to be fair to any of you. Armond needs help and maybe this will get him some.” “ I hope so.” Brian said as he climbed into the car with Kevin. Several officers came out of the woods. Nick waited in the waiting room looking at the others. Brian tried to comfort his friend. “ I can loose her.” “ Nick we got her here maybe they can help her.” “ No I am going to loose her damn it.” Nick said anger dripping from his voice as he stormed from the room.“ NICK!” Kevin stood.“ Let him be he needs to calm down.” Marissa said looking at him.“ Yes I know that but he could hurt himself.” Kevin said knowing his young friend. They all looked up as a doctor entered the waiting room. “ Are you all here for Miss McLean?” He asked“ Yes we are how is she?” Kevin asked standing. AJ looked up his own eyes showing his fear. “ She is a very lucky girl. You got her here in time. She had a poison running threw her system but we caught it before it actually took over her body. She is very weak and is still recovering from the broken bones she had. It seems she had three broken ribs her wrist was broken and it seems someone broke her leg. I can see it is new as if someone took a hammer to it.” The doctor explained as they looked at him. “ Can we see her?” Howie asked“ Let us move her into a private room.” “ Thank you.” Marissa said. AJ looked at his sister and whipped the tears from his eyes. “ You can come in now.” A nurse said leading the group into a small room where Morgan lay hooked up to tubes and wires. “ Oh god look at her.” AJ said moving to the bedside. Marissa looked at Brian who was standing in the door way. “ I will go get Nick.” He said hurrying to find his friend. Nick sat outside looking at the city below. Brian opened the door and came out. “ Buddy she is going to be fine.” Brian said putting his hand on his shoulder.“ How can you say that?” Nick asked as tears ran down his cheeks.“ Cause the doc said so. He came out and told us she is going to be fine. She is resting. They got the poison before it could do any damage. Come on we don’t want her to wake and not find you there.” “ Alright.” Nick said standing and following his friend to the room. AJ stopped them before they could go in. Kevin Marissa and Howie also stood in the hall.“ What?” Brian asked looking at them.“ Her Heart stopped.” AJ said tears running down his cheeks. Nick looked towards the door and pushed past everyone to get inside. “ NO GOD NO PLEASE DON’T TAKE HER” Nick screamed dropping to his knees and sobbed. “ NICK?” He heard a weak voice ask. His head shot up and he searched the room for the voice.“ Nick” The Doctors and nurses moved aside as his eyes rested on the woman on the bed. “ MORGAN” He rushed to the bed. He pulled her weak body to his and kissed her forehead. “ Baby don’t cry.” She said whipping the tears away. “ I thought I had lost you.” He said crying “ I would never leave you.” She said. Her eyes were so heavy she was so tired.“ Rest now we will all be here when you wake up. I promise.” He said knowing she needed to rest. He looked up as the others enter the room. “ She is resting. She is going to be fine.” Nick said happily. “ Thank god.” They all said. //One Month later………….“ Miss McLean are you ready to go home?” A nurse asked “ Yes I am.” She said smiling. Her leg was still in a cast her arm was in a sling no cast. Her body wasn’t as weak as it had been when she had came there but she was still weak. But it had been a month and it was time to go home. Nick stood smiling in the doorway. “ You ready baby?” He asked “ Yea I am. When did you get here?” “ A couple of minuets ago. I had to fight over picking you up with AJ. He wanted to come and get you.” He said gathering her into his arms and kissing her.
“ Sir she needs to ride in the wheelchair to leave.” The nurse said laughing at them.“ I know.” He said setting her into the chair and pushed it out into the hall where Morgan got a surprise as everyone were standing there waiting for her. “ You said you came alone.” She giggled.“ No I didn’t I told you I fought with AJ to be the one picking you up.” He said.

The End
