Chapter 6
GUY'S P.OV
I sat beside Connie for another hour. The other ducks had popped in every so often to check if there was any change and to try and persuade me to come and have a break. I couldn't leave her, I know we were no longer romantically involved but I felt the need to be here for when she woke up. I was just falling asleep, holding her hand when I felt a twitch, I jumped up watching closely for any more movements. Suddenly her eyes fluttered open.
"Guy"? She asked.
"I'm right here". I gripped her hand tightly.
"Where am I"? She spoke groggily.
"Your in hospital, Ryan beat you up pretty badly". I replied hesitating about telling her about Ryan. "Wait right there, I'll just go and get a nurse". I continued letting go of her hand and heading to the nurses station to tell them, then going and telling the ducks.
A few hours later, we were all crowded in Connie's room, chatting quietly, the nurses hadn't been too happy about it but we had assured them that we would be very quiet. We were all giggling quietly when a knock came on the door and two police officers stepped inside.
"Guy Germaine"? they glanced around the room.
"Yeah". I stood, knowing exactly what was coming next.
"We are arresting you on unprovoked harmful bodily damage to a Mr Ryan Hilton". One of the officers took my arm and began putting cuffs on me.
"What, you can't do that". Julie began shouting. "It was provoked, Ryan nearly killed Connie and Guy was just sticking up for her".
"Julie, it's ok". I replied.
"No, no it's not ok". She continued. I looked at Charlie to shut her up and the others to contain Portman and Fulton's behaviour. A quick glance at Connie crying silent tears. "Get off him, he's done nothing wrong". Julie stepped forward but was pulled back by Charlie.
"Do you want to be arrested too young lady"? One of the officers turned to her.
"Why not, you seem to be". Charlie's hand slid over her mouth.
"No, no she doesn't". He finished her sentence as I was lead out of the hospital. I was put into the back of the police car and driven to the station.
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I watched silently as the police lead Guy away. Tears of guilt spilled down my cheeks. If I had just spoken up before now, Guy wouldn't have had to get involved and he wouldn't have just had to be carted off by the police. I knew Ryan had gone to police for a few reasons, to make it look like he was the victim and so that the most protective person of me wasn't going to be around. I sat up slowly pain taking over my whole body, swinging my legs over the side was another difficulty, not only because of the pain but because of the few people trying to push me back into bed.
"Connie, you can't go anywhere". Adam pointed out.
"I can and I am. This is all my fault and I have to put things right, now either help me or get out of my way". I began standing and reaching for my clothes that had been set aside in a white carrier bag.
"What are you going to do"? Julie asked once she had shooed all the male ducks out and began helping me to dress.
"I'm gonna pay someone a visit". I replied.
"Connie, you can't, look what he's just done to you". Julie began arguing.
"Don't you think I know that, but just going to the police isn't going to get Guy out of jail, sure it'll get Ryan in trouble but Guy is still gonna be charged with beating Ryan up". I squeezed my feet into my trainers.
"What if he tries something though"?
"Then that's a chance I have to take". I replied.
"You still love Guy don't you"? She asked me.
"Jules, this isn't the time to be talking about this". I replied.
"I think it is, you seem to be going through an awful lot of trouble just to get Guy out of what a hundred hours community service and a fine or something like that".
"I'm doing this because he hasn't done anything wrong, he's a friend and I'd do the same thing over and over for any of you guys". I told her. "so can we please just drop it and concentrate on getting Guy out of jail". I began walking slowly toward the exit.
A nurse and a doctor tried to stop me but I was 'being Connie stubborn' as Guy called it. The ducks continued to try even more so when they discovered where I was headed, but being the loyal friends they are, agreed to come with me.
"Have you actually got a plan or are you just gonna wing it"? Goldberg questioned.
"I suppose I'm just gonna wing it". I replied.
"Well at least one of us are coming with you". Charlie ordered.
"You can't, he'll know something's up if your with me". I retorted.
"We can hide behind the wall until he opens the door". Fulton pointed out, he and Portman were more than ready for a good bash brothering.
"Oh yeah great, give him another reason to call the cops". I responded as the van went over a bump causing me to wince with pain.
"You ok"? Jules asked.
"Yeah, fine". I plastered on a fake smile.
When we got to Ryan's apartment I climbed out uneasily and headed for the main doors. The ducks continued following me regardless of what I said in the van. I realised they were either gonna let me and tag along or not let me at all.
My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest as I got closer and closer to the door. Without giving myself a second chance to back down I knocked on the door and awaited response. Suddenly the door flung open and Ryan stood with a broad smile on his face.
"Connie, how are feeling"? He seemed genuinely pleased to see me.
"Fine, no thank to you". I snapped harshly.
"what do you mean no thanks to me"? He asked as though I was an alien making things up about him.
"You know exactly what you've done. But this isn't why I'm here". I glared strongly at him making him look a little intimidated by me.
"Then why is it"? He sneered recovering his smarmy looks and attitude.
"You made a false allegation about Guy, I want you to drop it". I continued.
"Oh yeah and how are you gonna make me". He folded his arms across his chest.
"Well, there's a few ways, first I go tell the cops exactly who's done this to me and how long you've been doing this, then you get arrested for my allegation, THEN I call your parents and tell them about EVERYTHING or I can get my enforces right now to walk you down there personally". I said and as if on cue Portman and Fulton stepped behind me.
"You wouldn't dare". He looked petrified.
"Oh wouldn't I". I looked sternly. "Boys". I said and they stepped forward.
"Okay, okay", Ryan backed down. "But you haven't heard the last of this Moreau".
"Oh, I think I have HILTON, you see I have a VERY good lawyer and your mama's number". I walked away. When I got outside I let out a sigh of relief. I turned to Portman and Fulton and looked at their big grins. "Thank-you for that". I hugged them gently ignoring the slight pain.
"Anytime". They cackled and helped me into the van where we headed to the police department to get Guy. When we got there everyone piled out all that is except me.
"Con's aren't you coming"? Julie asked.
"Nah, I'll wait here, the less I move the better". I smiled. Truth be known, I felt guilty for Guy having to be locked up in a cell for an hour, due to my own stupidity. 10 minutes later the ducks crowded back in with Guy and we set off back to the dorms.
"So how'd you guys get me out then"? He asked once we were moving.
"It wasn't us". Julie giggled.
"Then who"? He asked confused.
"Connie". Ken told him.
"it wasn't just me, Portman and Fulton helped". I argued, I didn't want any credit for the task we had just done.
"It was brilliant, she went and gave Ryan what for". Averman laughed and he and Charlie began reacting the scene for him. We all laughed as Averman pretended to be me and Charlie, Ryan. When we got back to the dorms, The ducks helped me up the stairs and into my room, where they left me laid on my bed.
About half an hour later, there was a knock at the door. I couldn't be bothered to get up off my bed to answer it so I just shouted at whoever it was to come in.
"Hey, how you feeling"? The person asked before I had chance to look up.
"I've been better, how 'bout you, it can't have been too good sitting in a cell". I sat up a little, moving my legs so that he could sit.
"It wasn't too bad, I was actually just about to call Bombay".
"I'm sorry". I welled up.
"It wasn't your fault".
"It was, if I'd have said something sooner, it wouldn't have gotten this far". Tears came now.
Connie, NONE of this was your fault". He leant over and wiped one of my tears.
"Thank you".
"What for"? He asked.
"For everything, for being there for me when I needed someone". My tears came quicker now.
"It should be me thanking you, you got me out of jail and out of trouble even though it could have caused you even more harm". He said getting up to leave.
"I heard everything you said you know, in the hospital I mean". I blurted out as he reached for the door knob. "Did you mean what you said"? I asked.
"I suppose I did yeah". He returned my question with his answer but not turning.
"Guy"..
"Yeah"?
"I never stopped loving you either".
WELL I think I'll end the story there. I know I know bit of a cliff hanger but at least you can think up your own ending. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, you have no idea how much they mean to me. PLEASE R&R!!!!!!!
