Medical professionals went rushing when Sheen arrived, Bea saw her brought to the emergency room.
Weakness crawled over her knees as she saw Sheen's swelling and bleeding face.
Wyn was able to catch her as she slowly falls on her knees, "Hey, she's going to be alright."
He said the words he needed to hear. A part of him blames himself and the other is on Aria but after learning about Luke from Bea based on Dan's words, he felt lost.
They sat on the hallway benches while waiting for Sheen's doctor. They're performing a surgery on her for blunt abdominal trauma.
Wyn can't control his feet in fidgeting so he stood up and walked back and forth while biting his nails.
Bea's on her phone with Dan who said they're on their way.
"They're on their way, sit for a while, Wyn," Bea said while looking at Wyn with a frown.
Everyone looks so messed up.
They were fine yesterday, doing what they do but now, everything turned upside down.
"It's because of me," Wyn said, "If I didn't work for Aria. If I guarded Sheen properly... It's all because of me" Wyn mutters.
Bea sighed and stood up to stop Wyn from walking, "Hey, Sheen will never blame you. I won't. I know Boss won't. Nobody will."
"WYN, YOU BASTARD! This is all your fault!" Kady screamed while running towards Wyn.
Clark and Dan followed him to stop him but he already punched Wyn on his cheek, making him fall on the floor.
"Why did you do this?! Your mind's messed up! You're an assh*le!" Kady yelled as Clark and Dan hold his arms. He tries to free himself but he's held tight.
Bea just stands up in shock, "Kady..."
"She's hurt because of your stupid wants!" With Kady's trembling hands in anger, he pushed Dan and Clark away and threw a glare to Wyn before sitting on the bench.
Everyone went silent while Clark dismissed the security guard who came to check what was happening.
"The one to blame paid already," Clark said and sat a seat apart from Kady, "No one should blame anyone here."
"Boss' right," Bea sighed and sat down, "Sheen wouldn't like to see this."
Dan sat with Bea and kissed her forehead, "Are you okay?" he asks.
Bea nodded with a small smile, "I am. Thanks to Wyn."
Dan looked at Wyn and smiled, "Thank you."
Still, on the floor, Wyn laid his back and stared at the lights. It was making him close his eyes but he wants to burden himself with keeping it open. He wants to get hurt even more. The punch was nothing. It didn't make him feel that he's supposed to pay the price of putting Sheen in danger. It didn't lessen the ache in his chest.
"Miss Verrez's family?" The doctor came out and saw Wyn, he smiled at him.
Wyn stood up and ran towards the doctor followed by Clark and the others.
"She's going to be fine. Good thing she was brought early or else there would be a hemorrhage. She needs to rest, for now, we will watch her for a while in the recovery room. And then we'll send her to her room," the nurse said.
"Thank you, Doctor," they all said as the doctor and nurses left.
Bea sighed in relief and hugged Dan, "She'll be fine," she said and cried, "She's fine."
Kady took a deep breath and went to Wyn, "We're going back tomorrow, I hope to see you in the airport," he can't make eye contact with Wyn but he patted his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," Wyn whispered and pats Kady's arm.
"She's fine. But if she wasn't... I don't know what I'd do," Kady said, "I need to pack. See you."
Blue and Elgeen came running, both of them was stuck in a little traffic, "HEY!" Blue shouted when he saw Wyn and was about to punch him when Kady stopped him, "Let me finish this guy!"
"Guys, we know this is not Wyn's fault," Elgeen said as she pulls Blue, "Stop."
Wyn looked at Elgeen, shock, "What do you mean? If I didn't work with Aria, Sheen won't be hurt."
Elgeen smiled and shook her head, "No. Nobody comforted this guy?" she asks while looking at Clark, Kady, and Dan.
But she got no response, "Okay..." she breathes in, "This is what happened..."
When Elgeen entered the building and saw an unknown guy on Clark's hand, she can see the death lurking around the abandoned room.
Blue, Kady, Dan, and Clark were standing around the guy.
"Luke..." Clark called, "You're paying for this."
Elgeen stood frozen, not wanting to catch anyone's attention. The tension was suffocating and it made her shiver in fear.
"Without Wyn and Aria, I know Sheen will still end up here in this room, beaten by me," Luke laughs like he's teasing Clark.
The police were just standing on the side, watching Clark.
"Just four hits, officer," Clark said as he grits his teeth in rage and Kady, Blue, and Dan held Luke on their arms.
The police officers nodded, Clark's supporting the Police Organization and with that, this request is not a big deal especially that it is personal for Clark.
Clark took a wood that has a bloodstain on it, marking it as the item used to hit Sheen.
"This..." Clark raised the wood, "is for the company!" He hits Luke's right leg.
Since Blue's covering his mouth, Luke wasn't able to scream in pain but his face says it all.
"This is..." Clark hits the other leg, "for Wyn."
Elgeen covers her mouth in shock. Clark... he's on the verge of murdering someone. He looks different. As if he's not the cool president she knew.
"This is for ARIA!!" Clark shouted in anger and hits Luke's chest.
Luke tried to free himself but it only made the pain more severe.
"And...." Clark wants to stab Luke with the wood but he just dropped the wood and kicked Luke's face, "FOR SHEEN!"
Luke immediately fell unconscious and the police officers took him away.
After explaining what happened, Elgeen hugs Wyn, "You're innocent, he used you, you're a victim too."
Bea went to join the hug, "She's right. I know you're innocent."
Wyn's tears fell while feeling the warmth of the girl's hug.
After waiting for an hour, the nurses called them in Sheen's room.
She's connected to tubes and oxygen.
Still sleeping, Sheen dreamed of the day she met Clark.
"WELCOME TO STAR COMPANY, MISS VERREZ!"
She saw everyone greeting her in the building's entrance. They're all wearing cheerful smiles.
"Good afternoon, Boss!" Bea greeted a man who looks extremely handsome and strict at the same time.
He wears a professional outfit and slicked back black hair.
"Clark..." she called his name.
Bea and Kady looked at each other, Sheen's dreaming.
Clark was talking to Mr. Rogers outside about Luke's case and Aria.
In Sheen dreams, Clark's talking to her for the first time," Ms. Verrez, we are honored to be chosen by a very famous writer. Please follow me."
She followed him, but just like before, she was walking slower.
She wants this to last when everything was fine, new, relaxing and normal.
His strong back walking in front of her made her cry, she just wants to hug him right now and kiss him.
Sheen paused when she saw the familiar sunset, "Wow," she stopped walking and watched the sunset.
She felt Clark stop walking and looked at the same sunset, "Clark..."
Kady said his farewell and went out as Clark gets inside, he heard Sheen's voice and ran to her side.
"Sheen..." he brushed her hair with a frown, her cheek's wounded and blue, making his heart broke.
Sheen looks at Clark in her dreams and held his hand, he looks at her with love and warmth, just like he always does.
"I love you..."
Her words spilled on her mouth, catching Clark off guard.
"I love you too..." Clark replied in her dreams of hearing his voice.
She smiled and everything turned black, making her rest peacefully.
Bea smiled, "So, what's the plan after all this?" she asked.
Wyn was ordered by Clark to go back to the hotel with Kady to take a rest, Dan's busy with Mr. Rogers and Bea can't blink without Sheen by her side.
"It depends on Sheen. If she doesn't want to be with me after all this... I'll let her go with Kady."
Clark's voice cracks.
He knows how scary and dangerous his environment can be for Sheen. And he wouldn't keep her if she wants to go back to what she had before.
There will always be someone who will threaten him, the company and his family.
He can't promise that her life will be peaceful again.
Tears stream down on his cheeks, "I just want her to be happy."
Bea stood up and pats Clark's back, "She wants to be with you."
After all this, after everything they went through, after seeing Sheen smiling again, Bea wouldn't let Clark let her go.
She became stronger after meeting him. She can handle anything now. A single failure wouldn't bruise her. A single wound wouldn't kill her.
After seeing him open up, after seeing him feeling emotions, after seeing his smile, Bea wouldn't let Sheen run away.
He became human after seeing her. He let people in once again.
Sheen's been asleep for three days straight. She'll wake up for a few minutes, dazed and confused and go back to sleep fast.
Kady left a message when he was at the airport.
"We're still friends, Wyn," Blue told Wyn and hugged him, "If Sheen believes you, I believe you."
"Yeah, Wyn. Remember the movie about Sheen's book, okay?" Elgeen smiled and hugged Wyn.
"I'm sorry, but don't worry. I will make that movie, no matter what."
After this, the only problem left is his father and the company that tainted the Star Company.
Kady clears his throat, making Wyn turn around, "Wyn."
He offered his hand, "It was nice meeting you," Kady said.
Elgeen and Blue frowned with his words, does this mean he doesn't want to be friends with Wyn anymore?
"I hope to meet the brand new assh*le next time," Kady added.
Wyn smiled, "Yeah, a new b*stard will come your way sooner or later," he said and shook Kady's hand.
Blue and Elgeen smiled, even though the two are having a weird conversation, it's still nice to know that there won't be a broken relationship.
It was Wyn who usually takes care of Sheen when Bea or Clark is busy.
Cj visits before he goes to school and after his classes.
"When will Mommy wake up?" Cj asks Clark and Bea while Wyn sleeps on the couch.
"Soon," Bea smiled while Cj pokes her tummy.
Clark peels an apple for Cj while sitting on Sheen's bed.
He looks as if nothing happened, still with his slicked black hair but the only change is that the dark circles under his eyes.
He was busy with the company, the case against Luke, with Aria's treatment, and with Sheen.
He won't even blink his eyes to avoid sleeping.
"Hey," Bea looked at Clark, "Don't you want to sleep? Louis can stay if you want. He was discharged yesterday."
Cj ran to Clark and took the peeled apple and sat on the couch beside Wyn.
"No, I need to be with her when she wakes up," Clark said in a faint voice.
You can trace the tiredness in his tone. His gaze over Sheen's sleeping voice. The bruises are beginning to turn yellowish violet. If only he can erase the pain and the wounds, he already did. If he can take it all, he already had.
"I love her so much," Clark said and kissed Sheen's ring on her finger.
"We know," Bea answered and took an apple from the plate Clark was holding.
"I want to marry her already," he laughed and stood up to put the plate on the table.
Bea put her hand on her hip and looked at Clark, "So... are we talking about a wedding now? Where? What's the theme? When?"
Cj jumps, "Wedding?! Yehey! Mommy and Daddy's getting married!!" he shouted.
Wyn groans and pulled Cj on his chest, "Shut up Lil' bro," he said and hugged Cj tightly.
"NO!!! DADDY!! Brother Wyn's killing me!!"
Even though there's a sting inside Wyn's chest when he heard about the wedding, having a family beside him covers it all. He's happy and wants everyone to be happy.
After Cj learned about Wyn, he was excited because he likes him since day 1. Since he won't be able to understand everything, he just took it as a simple another rare big brother appeared.
Bea took her phone and videos Cj and Wyn playing together while Clark just stares at Sheen.
