huge gash on your head and were totally knocked out. Your right leg has several fractures; you’re going to need to have someone with you for a while. Which is another reason your parents are here, by the way, but I'll get back to that. I was glued to your side when they were working on you before they put you in the ambulance. Then I heard Scott yell.", he shakes his head and I squeeze his hand.
    "Krista....she was really bad, wasn't she?", I say softly as I look down at our hands.
    He nods as he squeezes back, "She was. She just looked completely broken, Katy. When you were on set, she was so bubbly and full of life and to see her not even an hour later broken and battered, it just about killed Scott. He hasn't left her side. Her family has been here and they haven't asked him to leave or anything, she apparently has talked very highly about him to them.", he smiles sadly, “He really loves her…and I know when…when, not if, she wakes up that he isn’t going to ever let her go, I have a very strong feeling that Krista is going to end up going from being Ms. Quinn to Mrs. Adams.”
    I smile at that and try to turn over but wince from the pain, "I'm really sore, Liam."
    "I'll get a nurse.", he says and kisses my forehead.
    He quickly goes to speak to someone at the nurses’ station and comes back with a nice looking older woman who puts something into my IV and before I know it, I feel numb and really tired. Liam sits beside me and kisses my hand as he holds it and I drift off to sleep
     
    When I wake up again, I can hear people whispering until they notice me stirring around.
    "Oh Katelyn...I'm so happy to see you awake.", my mom says with tears in her eyes.
    I smile slightly as she comes over to grip my hand, "Hey Mom. I'm ok.", I tell her even though I can feel tears in my eyes the mirror hers.
    "Your dad and I have been so scared.", she shakes her head and then rubs her tears away, "Derek calls to check on you, you know your brother has always had a soft spot for you."
    I smile a little more and nod, "I just want to get better, and be able to get out of here and back to school, I don't have much longer left before graduation..."
     
    She shares a look with Liam and I frown looking between them.
    "What? What now?", I ask irritated.
    "Baby, you’re not going to be able to go back to just living in the dorms and going to class like before. Your legs are really bad right now. You’re going to need Physical Therapy and are going to be stuck in bed for a lot of that time so you can heal properly.", Liam tells me as he comes to sit in a chair by the bed.
    "So you're telling me, I can't finish my degree."
    He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, "You can, but you're going to be able to finish it online, we've already worked it out with all your teachers. And you’re going to be recuperating at home...with your parents, back home.", he tells me with a steely look in his eyes.
    "What?! I'm not just going to pack up and move back in with my parents. I...I'll make things work, I'll learn to work around whatever leg issues I have.", I sputter out and look over at Liam.
    "I'm sorry Katy, but on this, I'm putting my foot down. As your husband. I've made this decision for your safety and comfort until you’re medically ok again."
    I glare at him and shake my head, "So what about you? Where are you going to be?"
    "I have to go do some movie promotion interviews in L.A, and then I'm taking my time off and coming home too. We have a home there. I know it's not home to you yet, but I'm going to let you decorate to your heart’s content.", he smiles softly and comes up to kiss my forehead. "We're going to have top of the line security around at all times. I don't want to risk Alexia coming back around to finish what she started."
    I close my eyes to that thought and take a deep breath, "What about Krista? When she wakes up and is healing, where is she going to be? I need to be there for my best friend...it's the least I could
