Thanks for all the feedback.

"Hey, Sal…"

Sally looks up when Rachel comes in, glaring at her.

"Go. Please."

Rachel ignores her request, sitting down next to her.

"You have to talk to someone, Sal."

"And what is that going to help? Is that going to make me be able to walk again? Talking won't help, Rachel!"

Rachel sighs, looking at her friend sadly.

"No, you're right. Talking won't make you walk again. But it will help you deal with it."

Sally turns around with difficulty, staring at the wall.

"I don't want to deal with it."

"Sal, this isn't how I know you."

"I don't want to talk about this Rachel. I want to be alone. Please."

Rachel looks at Sally for a minute before walking out slowly.

"I can't believe Sally is never going to walk again. And it's all my fault."

Ric looks at Matilda sadly.

"I should have listened to you."

Matilda looks at him darkly.

"Well you got your punishment."

"Yeah, but why Sally? She's only ever been an amazing person you know. And I've ruined her life."

Matilda takes his hand and kisses him on the cheek.

"Everything will turn out all right."

"You don't know that."

"Hey, doctors can do amazing stuff nowadays."

"Yeah but she shouldn't be going through this, you know. I made a huge mistake."

Matilda looks at her watch and frowns slightly.

"Look, I have to go… Are you going to be all right?"

Ric nods slightly, staring out in front of him.

"Yeah."

She kisses him quickly before leaving and Ric sighs.

"Dalby."

He turns around to face Johnny, who is looking insanely angry.

"Johnny… listen man…"

"You thought I was going to ruin Sally's life. Interesting that you were the one who did that. All by yourself. What would Sally say if she knew you jammed my car?"

"Look, mate, that was a mistake…"

"I'm not your mate."

Johnny walks closer, grabbing Ric's collar.

"I really have a reason to kill you now."

He pushes Ric violently, looking disgusted.

"The only reason why I'm not going to smash your face, is because it would hurt Sal even more than she's hurting now. And that's also the only reason why I won't tell her what a lowlife you are. Because I love her."

"I love Sally too."

Johnny smirks.

"Yeah right. That's why you did your best to make her unhappy."

"That wasn't my intention!"

"But that's what you achieved. And guess what, you're going to have to live with that for the rest of your life. Congratulations."

Johnny gives Ric one final push, causing him to fall on the ground before storming off angrily.

Hey guys, heres an update :)

Johnny stormed out of the hospital, clenching his fist he hit a wall angrily. He wanted nothing more than to go back inside and beat Ric to a pulp, to make him hurt the way Sally was hurting.

Sally.

She was the only reason he wasn't currently smearing the walls with Dalby's blood and bones. She loved Ric as much as she would love her own child, no doubt she'd find a way to forgive him.

Wouldn't she?.

He chuckled and kick an empty coke can along the ground.

If it was him, he would never forgive anyone for doing something like that, not even his own blood brother. But she was different, compassionate and kind, she was the complete opposite to him.

He chuckled quietly again and whispered to himself "Opposites attract"

Rocco sat impatiently in his seat, Martha was certain that if she poked him with her pen he'd neither exploded or give her a funny look.

"Where are they" he moaned, drawing out they. She check her watch

"They should be home by now"

"I know that"

"Good for you"

Rocco semi bounced in his seat.

"Maybe we should call them?"

Martha looked at her watch, then at the phone.

"I'll call Sally"

She picked up the phone and dialled Sally's Cellphone number, it rang and rang… and rang before going on to voicemail. Martha frowned, it wasn't like Sally to not answer her phone.

"No answer? Asked Rocco concerned voice, she shook her head.

"I'll try Johnny" Rocco nodded and waited by the phone as she dialled. It didn't even ring, just the cold, soulless voice of the automated answering system.

"The phone you have call is either turned off or outside the coverage range. Please try again later".

The door to Sally's room opened and Ric slinked in. She smiled at him.

"Hey Ric"

"Hey Sal"

He pulled up a chair and sat next to her, his silence confusing her.

"Is something wrong Ric?"

He took a deep breath and glance down at his shoes.

"I need to tell you something"

Johnny leaned on the railing, watching as the sunset, it sparkling reds and golds colouring the sky in stark contrast to the dark greys and purple of the clouds. There was the rustle of leaves behind and a familiar shape walked up behind him.

"Now Johnny, you didn't think you could just turn your back on us now, did you?"

To Be Continued....

Thanks for feedback, new update here.

Johnny backs away from the people he once thought to be his friends slowly.

"Now guys…"

Sam walks closer, his eyes shining.

"How is Sally? Still alive?"

Johnny frowns and Sam laughs.

"You honestly think it was Ric who tampered with the breaks?"

"But… but it was…"

Sam shakes his head.

"He did… but Rocco saw him. And he went back to fix it."

"And… it was you!"

Johnny looks at Sam angrily, grabbing his collar.

"We could have been killed!"

Sam smirks.

"That was the idea. But think about it… Sally will never forgive you if she knew it was all your fault. Would she?"

Johnny pushes him away and starts running to the hospital, knowing that he has to get to Sally. Quickly.

"You… you tampered with the breaks?"

Sally looks at Ric in shock and he nods.

"I'm sorry, Sal. I honestly didn't think you were going to be in the car… I really didn't."

Sally shakes her head.

"You wanted to kill Johnny?"

"I thought he was going to hurt you. But then I realized that I'm the one who hurt you. More than Johnny ever could. I know you won't be able to forgive me and I understand that…"

"Wait."

Sally and Ric both turn their heads to face Johnny, who is standing in the door, looking serious.

"It wasn't Ric."

Ric frowns.

"But…"

"Roc saw you tampering with the breaks. He fixed it."

"But how did you get in the accident then?"

Johnny sighs and closes his eyes.

"It was the gang. They did it. You were right Ric. I am only going to hurt Sally. But not because I want to. Because I can't help it."

He turns his back to leave, but Ric quickly pulls him back.

"Johnny, wait."

"What?"

"Do you love Sal?"

Johnny looks at Sally, his eyes soft.

"More than anything."

"Then we'll find a way for you to work it out. And I'm going to leave you now."

Ric slowly walks away and Johnny lies down on the bed next to Sally, pulling her close against his chest.

"I love you so much, Sal…"

Sally turns her head to face him, tears shining in her eyes.

"I love you too…"

He kisses her softly and she pulls away.

"Johnny… I'm so scared… what if I can never walk again?"

Johnny takes her hand, looking at her tenderly.

"You will. You're going to fight this and be strong, Sal. You're going to get through this and I'm going to help you."
