Lives At Stake

Randy held unto Rachel

"Do they really...hate me?" Randy asked with tears in his eyes.

......................

"What about John!!" Torrie screamed as she looked at Trish finally look like she's showing compassion.

John laid there on the ground while the paramedics tended to him. The paramedic went to John's mouth, moving her ear to check if she's breathing. "He's not breathing, we have to...act quickly" Torrie turned her eyes back to John as she cried.

......................

Kayla just stood in the corridor, with tears in her eyes feeling like she's always getting it wrong.

"They don't hate you because you left, they hate you because Trish and Ron brainwashed them into hating you." Rachel said.

----------------------------

"I'm sorry." Trish said.

Torrie just got up from John before she walked over to Trish with no remorse. She slapped Trish hard across the face, "You lose bitch, I'm done with you" Torrie spoke as she turned her back on Trish.

The paramedic cut John's shirt off and did their best to save him but it could be too late now.

....................

"I'm getting them back" Randy spoke.

Rachel groaned.

"I hate them, don't you dare. I take back being sorry if you do." Rachel said.

Torrie touched John's hand gently as she watched Trish be taken away by the cops as she shouted Torrie! but their friendship was dead.

Torrie gently touched John's fingers "I did it, John she's gone.." Torrie muttered softly.

John weakly squeezed Torrie's hand.

-------------------------

"I mean dad, I will run away if you try to bring them back." Rachel said.

"Rachel." Katie said sternly.

"No I'm serious, Savannah is a total slut and Jake is a complete jerk that only cares about his damn self." Rachel said.

Torrie felt a weak squeeze in her hand, she looked at John as he remained unconscious.

"Stay with me, you're gonna be okay" Torrie spoke softly, she gently kissed John on his lips.

"We've got him breathing," The Paramedic said with a small smile as she put a mask around John's mouth and nose helping him breathe.

Torrie gently smiled as she saw the faint breath rise through the breathing mask as John continued to hold on with every bit of strength he had to show the life in him.

"Thank you John, I love you so much" Torrie muttered.

.....................

"They are still my kids, you're brother and sister" Randy spoke.

"I wish they weren't and I lied they do hate you." Rachel said.

"Rachel don't say that." Katie said sternly.

------------------------------

John squeezed Torrie's hand again.

Torrie stayed by John's side as he was rushed to hospital after being shot in the chest by a vengful Trish Stratus. Torrie stopped by the door, with tears in her eyes as she felt John slipping through her fingers.

Torrie ran her fingers through her blonde hair as she stood on the tiled floor. "Please don't let him die" Torrie muttered to a nurse.

"They'll do everything they can to help him, the waiting room is just down the hall" The nurse muttered gently.

Torrie softly nodded her head before she sat down on a chair. She buried her head in her hands flipping her blonde hair down as she felt the walls start to tumble. If she loses John tonight she really didn't know what she would do.

...................

"I don't care, because I still love them they are my children too..." Randy spoke.

Torrie came back in the room with tears in her eyes.

"Fine go ahead bring them back but when you do don't expect to see me ever again." Rachel said before she walked out of he room.

Katie sighed.

"Randy maybe it's not a good idea to try to get them back." Katie said.

Torrie walked in Katie's room with tears in her eyes.

"Torrie, oh my god..what's wrong?" Randy asked, Torrie just cried hugging Randy.

Katie looked at Torrie.

"Torrie what's wrong?" Katie asked with concern.

Torrie took in a few soft breaths while Rachel stood at the door.

"John's....been shot..." Torrie spoke, Randy's eyes widened with worry and shock before he pulled Torrie tighter in his arms so she could cry on him.

Katie felt tears in her eyes.

"Oh my god, is he okay?" Katie asked.

---------------------

Rachel glared at Randy.

"Oh so obviously don't care that I could run away. Fine I'll just go now!" Rachel yelled before she walked quickly down the hallway.

She was worried about John but she couldn't believe her own dad didn't try to convince her stay when she threatened to run away.

Torrie looked at Katie and Randy.

"I don't know, he's been rushed in...it didn't look like it" Torrie muttered.

"It came true....Katie, my...vision it came true" Torrie uttered with tears of fear in her eyes, she waited and waited in the unknown not knowing if her husband the man she breaths, lives for would be nothing without is dying or just died.

.....................

Kayla continued to walk until she saw Rachel "I'm sorry Rach, I can't seem to make anything right" Kayla spoke, she didn't know about John.

"Torrie come here." Katie said before she hugged Torrie.

She looked at Randy.

"I suggest you go find Rachel." Katie said.

She rubbed Torrie's back.

"Everything will be okay, John's strong." Katie said.

--------------------------------------

"It's okay, if you need me I'm going...somewhere else but here." Rachel said before she walked out of the hospital.

Torrie lowered her head, with a single tear falling down from her eyes.

"Not strong enough...not this time.." Torrie muttered completely heartbroken.

....................

"Rachel! you can't leave on your own..." Kayla spoke.

Rachel looked at Kayla, as she knew something that is gonna destory her best friend.

"Yes he is Tor don't worry." Katie said.

---------------------------

"Watch me!" Rachel yelled as she walked along the side walk towards the road.

She pulled her cell phone out.

"I'm going to the train station, get on a train, and where I land that's where I'm going to stay while my dad tries to get two kids that don't give a shit about him! I was the one who spend months to try to get enough money to escape then to find him while they just sat around and did nothing! I love my dad and they don't but look my dad isn't running to get me he's trying to get Savannah and Jake!" Rachel yelled with tears in her eyes.

"He was in so much...pain...I can't lose him Katie, I just..can't I need him like I need to breathe" Torrie muttered with tears in her eyes and falling down from her eyes.

......................

Randy ran after Rachel "You're not going anywhere! Rachel! I love more than anything I'm sorry I don't want..you to run away" Randy muttered with tears in her eyes.

"You're not going to lose him, I promise you John will be fine." Katie said.

--------------------------

Rachel turned and looked at Randy.

"Then stop fighting for Savannah and Jake! They don't love you, they don't care about you dad but I do! You're the best dad in the world even though you always try to get Tyler to leave when I invite him over and try to kill him. When you yell at me for giving you attitude I still love you!" Rachel yelled.

Rachel felt tears rolling down her cheeks, she was never the person to ever let anyone see her cry but she couldn't help but cry right now.

Torrie looked at Katie.

"But what he was saying...she shot....him...." Torrie muttered with tears in her eyes.

.......................

The doctor tended to John as he laid on the table, bleeding and clinging to the thread of his fight for surivival.

.....................

Randy stared at Rachel as it was pouring down of rain. "Rachel! I'm so sorry...I only tried to make up for my mistakes but I always loved you there wasn't a day I didn't think of you. I tried to get in contact but you mother just ignored me and then my life just got busy but I am so sorry" Randy spoke, he gently hugge Rachel wanting to hold her.

Torrie looked at Katie, with a single tear falling down. She saw Candice, Soraya, Hunter, Dave, Matt and Shawn step in. Torrie turned with tears in her eyes catching everyone's attention, They saw Torrie but John wasn't by her side.

"Who shot John?" Katie asked.

----------------------------

Rachel grabbed onto her dad's shirt as she continued crying.

"I love you dad." Rachel said.

Torrie looked at Katie, as she felt her breath nearly choke her feeling so god damn scared of losing John.

"T..r..ish" Torrie muttered.

.......................

Randy held Rachel closer, as he picked her up "I love you too darling" Randy cried himself as they embraced in the pouring rain. Randy was so worried about John but he knew Rachel needed him more.

"That bitch." Katie said with anger in her voice.

--------------------------

Rachel buried her face into her dad's shoulder as she held onto him.

"I never meant to hurt you with what I said before about Savannah and Jake not caring about you and not missing you." Rachel said.
