Phil

I smiled and plopped back down onto the mattress, "well that's the worst part isn't it?"

Sen smiled, "I think so yeah."

"And it's over. Life is perfect."

She giggled, "let's go see Phil and Annie."

Senra:

Senra was glad to be with Phil, she felt so right around him. "Did we tell them we're engaged?" She asked. He started laughing.

"No, no we didn't." He grinned.

"Well, we'll just have to tell them that, though I hope it doesn't upset Annie."

"Why would it?" Phil asked as they walked through the hospital.

"Because she isn't." Senra smiled.

Phil

"She'll be happy for you. I'm just surprised that Colt hasn't asked her yet."

"Maybe he is today!" She gasped, "that would be amazing."

"She's in the hospital, I doubt he'd ask her now."

Senra giggled, "if he wants to let her know he wants her forever before she distances herself again he'd better do it now."

Senra:

"We'll see what happens, but I doubt he wants to while she is in the hospital, I think she would understand that." Phil smiled. "Enough talk about that, let's get in there and talk to tehm."

"Hey, maybe we should wait to tell them. Give him a little while to ask."

"YOu sure?" PHil asked. She nodded. "Ok, but not to long."

"Alright."

Annie

I sighed, I really wanted to go home. But Colt was still on my cot so it was a little better than before.

"I want to go home," I groaned.

"I want you home too, but not until you're better."

"I feel better."

"You've felt better and had been wrong before."

An attney walked in, "Ms Goldsmith?"

I turned my head, "yes?"

"We have your insurance settlement prepaired."

"Oh?" I took it from him, looked at the number and gasped, the heart monitor going insane.

"That's not all your insurance though," he assured me, "thats some of the settlement that the driver of the truck's insurance so you wouldn't sue him."

"I hadn't planned on sueing him."

"Either way, the money is yours."

The monitor went insane again. a hundred thousand dollars was just mine?

Colt didn't even look at the paper but looked at the doctor. "She'll be getting some from her insurance too, right?" He asked.

"Yes, she will. She is also free to go." The Attorney smiled, then turned and left. Colt got up, took the paper, and folded it not looking at the sum. He didn't want to know what it was.

"This won't expire, you dont' need to give yourself a heart attack on top of things." He said tucking it in her jacket pocket then helping her up. "I hope with both insurance checks you'll be taken care of for a while plus some."

"Colt, didn't you see how much!" She gasped. "It was...."

"No, I didn't see how much and it doesn't matter, they couldn't ever pay you enough for what happened. Let's go before they change their mind about keeping you here longer."

Annie

I was all in shock. That was a huge number. As we were leaving Senra and Phil walked in. I bounced a step foward before Colt was at my side, slowing my stride. I shoved the paper at her, "that is all mine!" she squealed.

Senra's eyes widened, "really?"

"Yeah!"

"THat's amazing!"

Senra:

Senra hugged her and smiled. "That's great. Is it from your insurance?"

"No, it's from the guy that hit me. I haven't gotten my insurance's ones yet." Annie replied.

"I don't think they can pay for hurting her." Colt grumpled walking past.

"Has he seen that number?" Senra asked watching Colt wait at the door.

"No, and he says he doesn't want to because they couldn't pay for hurting me no matter how much money they give me. But that's a heck of a lot of money." She grinned.

Annie

I grinned, "a lot a lot."

"You could probably-"

Colt came up next to me, "can we please just go home now?"

I smiled and nodded, "yes."

Senra leaned in next to me and whispered, "hey wanna be my maid of honor?"

I looked at her confused. "What?"

"Phil asked me to marry him, I said yes."

I squealed and hugged her somehow managing to free myself from Colts ultra tight grasp in the process. "That's amazing honey!"

"I know!"

Colt:

Colt looked over at Phil and raised an eyebrow. He wlaked over to him. "Beat me to the punch." He said quiet so that only he heard. "Annie was suppoed to tell her first, though I'm not surprised."


Senra:

Senra grinned and hugged her more. "Come on, let's go celebrate!"


*tears*

Annie

"I like that idea!" I skipped up to the boys so I could speak through their shoulders, "who thinks one more night here would be good?"

Colt didn't seem to like that idea, Phil did a little though.

"We need to celebrate the engagement!" I pleaded with Colt. "Come on, one more night of one block partying, no rodes."

He reluctantly agreed.

We went back to my hotel room to change into more dressy clothes. I pulled out a new outfit that I had bought here and handed it to Senra. "You can wear this I just got it."

"Thanks! What are you going to wear?"

I pulled out a new shirt that I had brought, and an old skirt, "old and new."

We joined the boys back in the main room of the sweet and readied ourselves to go. "Catching a cab?"

"How about a bus?"

Colt:

Colt ran a hand through his hair when he saw ANnie. SHe was so hot. He wrapped his arms around her. "We'll go on the bus." He smiled as they walked out. "Less roadage." He teased.

*Grrrrr*

Senra:

Senra moved close to PHil as they got ont he bus and started towards the closest club. When they got there she smiled and followed him off the bus then right into the club where the music was pumping so loud her heart started to beat with it.

"This is gonna be great!" She yelled over the music. "I'm glad we found a babysitter for Cale."

"Me too!" He smiled.

Annie

I snickered and leaned up to say something in Colt's ear, "you're staring at me insesently tonight."

"Why shouldn't I? You're beautiful~In every sense~and it just occured to me that in the last week I almost lost you to two evils. Death and lack of determination on my part. I can assure you though, it will never happen again. I will never let you go." Tears bubbled and spilled over my cheeks, he cupped my face and whiped them away. "Don't cry."

I swipped at my eyes, "its just leakage."

Colt:

"Well don't leak, please, I didn't mean to upset you." He said softly wiping the tears from her face.

"THeir happy." She smiled softly. He smiled as his faced heated.

"Oh, right." HE kissed her softly savoring the feeling of her lips to his. When he pulled back he smiled. "Come on, let's dance."

Senra:

Senra danced with Phil smiling as their bodies moved together in perfect harmony. She smiled at him. "I love you, Phil." She said softly.
*tears*

Annie

While we danced, people watched us. It was uncomfortable. Nobody had really watched in my general direction before. I couldn't be dancing that good or horridly. Colt was worth watching though, the way he danced was amazing.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I don't like it here."

I raised a quizzical eyebrow, "why not?"

"Every guy is either staring at you or Senra."

I blushed. "Are not."

He laughed, "Wanna bet?"

I kicked idly at the floor, "no."

"Exactly."
