[Adia]

Oh my god I love this fic so much. And so many brilliant updates for me to read!

Johnny is just gorgeous. I wish I could kidnap him from your fic! Loving him.

Looking carefully at the frail, unconsious woman in his arms, Johnny makes his way to the hospital, holding her against his heart all the way.

I almost cried when I read that, that was so sweet.

Can't wait to see more!

[Sally_Fletcher]

Did people want an update?.

Johnny looked at his watch.

"About time for tea, want me to get something for you from the diner"

Sally thought about it, lying back in the hospital bed.

"I dunno, I kinda like hospital food".

"Okay…"

"I'm kidding"

A sly smile creped onto Johnny face, getting up, he tapped lightly on the table next to the bed.

"Whatca want"

"Um, a chicken roll thanks"

Johnny stared at her, frowning.

"What? I like chicken!"

Johnny rolled his eyes before kissing her softly on the forehead and walking out the door.

Johnny walked into the diner, ignoring the eyes that were staring at him, Colleen threw up her arms in despair and ran for the safety of the staff area.

A tired looking Irene walked out and smiled at him.

"How can I help you love?"

"One chicken roll and…."

"What in flaming hell are you doing here?"

Johnny turned to see Alf standing behind him.

"Alf…" Irene started, trying to maintain the peace, just then Brad and Ric walked in.

"God save us" Irene muttered, safely hiding away all sharp object she could reach.

"What are you doing here?" Ric demanded.

"Getting dinner thanks for asking" Johnny replied.

"How can you show your face after what you did to young Sally?"

"I didn't do anything Grandpa"

"Sally might think your changed but we know better"

"Oh Mr. Armstrong, I'm so scared" Johnny said mockingly.

"Okay that enough, all of you. Take this" Irene thrust a bag at Johnny.

"Come back when you can act like adults".

Martha walked down the path to the beach.

"Hey Roc" she called out sitting next to him.

"Hey" he replied quietly, she frowned.

"What's wrong Roc?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about, you know Johnny and Sally"

She sighs and hugs Rocco.

"It's not going to be easy"

"Not with Brad and Ric yelling at everyone"

She couldn't disagree with that. "They mean well" at least she hopes so.

"So your sticking up for them!"

"No! I'm just saying" she sighs "Let's go see Sally in the hospital, aye?"

Rocco nods and follows her up the beach to the road.

Martha and Rocco stop as they entered Sally's room, Sally's crying and Johnny's trying to comfort her.

"Sal, what's wrong?"

"It's Ric?"

"What about him?"

"He's threatening to leave, he wants me to choose between him and Johnny".

[kaciexox]

RIC!!! that is so unfair

she should choose Johnny

but on the other hand ric is her son....

loved colleen and irene in that chapter especially hiding the sharp objects

update soon

[ilovekateritchie]

brilliant update!

[Sally_Fletcher]

My next part has received my partners seal of approval. We are having a bit of difficulty with this, so if you have ideas you could just PM one of us if you want to! (I hope you don't mind that, Jane. )

"How dare you?"

Johnny looks at Ric angrily when he sees him on the beach and dashes forward, grabbing his shirt.

"How dare you do that to Sal? I thought you loved her so much… what a joke! You don't give a stuff about her!"

Ric grabs Johnny's shirt too, glaring at him.

"How dare you say I don't give a stuff about Sal? I do love her, she's the only mum I've ever known! You're out to hurt her and I won't let you! She deserves better! She deserves someone like Flynn, not a low life like you!"

Johnny pushes Ric away and shakes his head.

"This isn't about me. This is about you. You can't cope with the fact that Flynn is dead. Well guess what – he is."

"I'm not your mate!"

Ric walks forward, pushing Johnny with force.

"And keep your mouth off of Flynn!"

"Sally loves me, okay! Why can't you let her be happy?"

"Because I know you're after something! I won't let you hurt my family, and this whole town is behind me!"

"Look around! Half this town is accepting my relationship with Sally. And unless you accept it too, you're going to get hurt."

"Are you threatening me?"

Johnny looks at Ric closely, his blood boiling.

"No. It wasn't a threat. It was a promise."

Sally looks up when Johnny comes in, her eyes still shining with tears.

"Hey."

He walks to her and kisses her passionately.

"Hey, love. How are you feeling?"

"Okay… I can't help thinking about what Ric said though. I don't want to lose my son, Johnny."

"I know…"

"But losing you… I'd die if that happens. I don't know what to do."

Johnny sits down next to her, taking her hand in his.

"Well, it was unfair of Ric to tell you that you had to choose between us. Maybe I should talk to him, maybe I could make him understand how much we love each other."

Sally shakes her head, trying to stop her tears from falling.

"No… that would just make it worse. I think you and Ric should stay as far away from each other as possible at the moment… I'll talk to him. If he doesn't want me to be happy… then…"

She breaks down crying and Johnny climbs on the bed, putting his arms around her.

"I wish there was something I could do to make this better. More bearable."

Sally rests her head against his chest, taking his hand.

"You're here. It helps."
