As the doctor come up behind Terri saying,
"Brooke isn't going to make it, she is weak,not able to build up strength, her heart isn't strong enough to make it through not unless some miracle happens, you can go in and talk to her sure she would love that."
Terri nodded in tears saying,
"Thanks Doc."
Terri goes in shivering chills down her spine seeing her best friend like this, she grabs a chair sitting next to Brooke whispering,
"I am home Brooke it's me Terri please know that I came home for you, Monica left me for someone else and found my way back to you, wake up please don't leave me here without knowing what we missed out on together."
Tears fell from Terri's eyes as she felt Brooke's hand move in surprise Terri jumps in excitement calling for the nurses,doctors, and Leah as they all rushed in.
Everyone in the room looking over Brooke surprised she is moving very well as the doctor told Terri that she would need physical therapy to rebuild her strength. Terri knew that she needed to go to a jeweler before it was too late to ruin the best woman that has happened to her in eight years, waiting for everyone to leave the room Terri pulled Leah to the side saying,
"You need to know something."
Leah looked at her oddly responding,
"What is that? besides you two should be happy now as I am alone."
Terri sighed replying,
"That you are welcome around us at any time."
Leah smiled in the relief as a nurse came up behind her saying,
"Can I speak with you, please? sorry for butting in while you two were talking."
Terri gave the okay as Leah followed the nurse.
Leah wondered what this lady wanted they have no idea who they are, the nurse turned her around saying,
"Okay, I know you don't know me, my name is Gale and I saw you crying in the waiting room earlier."
Leah looked at Gale replying,
"And..."
Gale tried to keep a look in her beautiful eyes trying to tell her how bad she felt so she instantly said,
"I feel bad you were crying for your friend that almost lost her life."
Leah shrugged it off walking away as Gale gently patted her shoulder replying,
"Please tell me what is bothering you, I'm not meaning to barge in on your thoughts."
Leah turned to her looking teary eye saying,
"You know what is wrong with me Gale? that was my girl in there until her true love Terri came in waking her up from the coma a miracle but as it seems I'm single because I gave my heart to a woman who didn't love me back and couldn't protect her."
Gale shocked at the response she got from this woman so Gale hugged Leah in tears saying,
"I am sorry you are going through this, if there's anything I can do let me know?"
Leah hugged her back smelling a elude from Gale's hormones through the wall.
Terri headed out of the hospital to let Brooke rest, Terri decided to head downtown to find a jeweler to get Brooke a special ring that resembles their love she wasn't sure whether to get a promise ring or engagement ring since they both have two different meanings. Terri's cell phone goes off as she pulls over to answer it saying,
"Hello, who is this?"
Terri heard a giggle on the other end as the person replied,
"Silly,silly Terri this is Monica what are you doing? why aren't you home with mom?"
Terri sighed shaking her head knowing this is the wrong time for Monica to call let alone bother her as Terri responds,
"Getting something for Brooke as for why I am not home with your mother you know that answer, good bye."
Before Monica could say anything Terri hung up quickly and got back on the road to find a decent shop quick before Brooke wakes up.
Terri looked at every side street running across a run down jeweler shop with a sign almost gone so she couldn't make out the words, so she pulls in,parks the truck and heads inside the store to see some wonderful rings, lady behind the counter comes up saying,
"Hello, can I help you with anything?"
Terri shyly replying,
"Yes please, do you have any like engagement rings?"
Lady guides Terri to the back of the store behind the counter Terri got really nervous as the lady said,
"I have one, this one it is very special no one wants it though, so maybe you will give it to a friend to share with their lover."
Terri kept her mouth shut knowing it was for Brooke as the lady grabbed high by a big box there was an even smaller one. Terri held the small box in her hand opening it up to find a purple stone with a heart on it, she knew instantly Brooke would love it. Terri excitedly says,
"I will take it."
Lady excitedly tells Terri,
"You can have it for thirty dollars this one isn't going to cost you as much, it has been sitting back here since 2006 and I don't need it."
Terri pays for the ring, then rushes to get a quick lunch from McDonald's for her and Brooke than heads back to the hospital.
Terri feels hands wrap around her waist when she knows it isn't Brooke. The person whispered in Terri's ear saying,
"I followed you on the plane so now you are to come with me."
Terri tried moving but the person held her tight, she wanted to go in to see Brooke just the person wouldn't let her as the person whispered again,
"Don't worry once she is released, she will be with all of you soon."
Terri now scared of Brooke's danger and wasn't sure where Leah was at all since it's been over a hour the last they spoke it gave Terri chills badly that her lover is now stuck in the hospital not knowing if they will ever get engaged or to be married due to whatever this person is doing to them. The person whispered again,
"By the way Lavender is right outside with your other friends, like I said that girl back there will join us once she is released."
Terri then knew who it was instantly and had a feeling Monica this time was behind it. Leah and Gale were in a closet making deep love savoring one another in every inch possible the sweet kisses,loving the physical motions between the two as a knock startled them as they say together,
"Who is it?"
The person said,
"Not to worry who it is, get out here someone is in danger."
Gale and Leah rushed getting their clothes on and opened the door as the lady grabbed them both saying,
"Now, you both best come with me and do not fight me cause you're friend Terri is now with us as we wait for the girl to be released so don't say a word."
Gale and Leah look at each other on what the heck is going on. The person said again,
"You both will be with me and Rose for a long time until we can get one of you to confess, what is with this four way friendship here?"
Gale clueless as to what is going on since she met Leah and is taking care of Brooke, she doesn't know Terri at all so Gale wasn't sure how the four way friendship is working.
Brooke expecting Terri back didn't see or hear anything from her in over two hours since she knew that Terri promised to return as some strange woman came in saying,
"Once you are released from here, you and your friends are to go with us quietly, you dare say anything I will kill you with my own bare hands."
Brooke kept quiet in her thoughts wondering if they took Terri,Leah and possibly her nurse Gale, she shivered in her deep thoughts knowing Brooke couldn't handle being away from Terri and Leah the lady said friends so she knew instantly that they were the only one's who were here for her. It worried Brooke she isn't being released right away because she needed to have surgery done and if it didn't work she would have to go back with no one not even Terri it scared her, since she didn't have a chance to tell Terri at all that hurt her badly.
Terri,Leah and Gale all looked at one another in the van wondering where they were headed since neither one of them had no clue where this is going to put them all especially when Brooke joins them having Terri worried not knowing when Brooke is going to be with her and the girls it scared her, she hoped someone would be looking for them as Terri felt the box in her pocket feeling tears drip down her face knowing she shouldn't have never gotten near Rose and Lavender as Gale popped up saying,
"Terri, I know we don't know one another but who are these crooks?"
Terri sighed replying,
"Gale, they are Lavender and Rose met them in a apartment I ended up ditching to get to here and now they are set after us for something."
Gale took in a deep breath heaving it out responding,
"They want to know what our four way friendship is, do you really think that is it?"
Terri shook her head no knowing that couldn't be it they were after more than just that it had to be cause they plan on getting four of them not just one.
Terri made a signal to get Leah and Gale's attention whispering,
"I got a plan because Brooke isn't going to be out right away as it seems."
Leah and Gale nodded responding quietly,
"What have you got Terri?"
Terri whispers in return,
"Leah, I need you to be flirting with Rose, she is more sensitive than Lavender in the long run and Gale, I need you to distract Lavender with something, anything so I can get us out of here it is going to take me to use this ring in my pocket to untie us not unless one of you have a knife on you."
Gale sighed responding,
"I don't want Leah flirting with Rose this is going to be bad."
Leah whispered in Gales ear responding,
"Gale, I am doing this to get us out of here not to hook up with her, she isn't worth my time plus looked like Lavender had her hooked."
Terri pulled them both in keeping it low,
"Gale listen Lavender and Rose are a couple that is why I am making Lavender jealous by having Leah flirt with Rose."
Gale tried holding back the tears putting her head on Leah's shoulder as Leah kissed Gales forehead.
Brooke got rushed into surgery holding in tears of missing Terri more now than she did and also regret hurting Leah deeply. Brooke went back into a mild coma for the surgery staying asleep in dreamland of seeing Terri proposing to her with a wonderful ring in front of everyone at a park with family and friends. Brooke woke up startling as doctor's still operating on her, she begs them to put her back together she has to leave the hospital urgently. The doctor said,
"Um Miss Brooke we can't let you go, you need this surgery it is more urgent then you know."
Brooke responds back without thinking,
"My friends are in danger and I have to go after them including one of your nurses Gale."
The doctor looked at her like she was crazy and reinfected her with another dose of medicine to keep her sleep this time, Brooke hated it not able to get out of surgery.
Lavender keeps watch for Brooke to get out of surgery. Rose is with a guy in the van to keep watch of Terri and her friends even though Rose feels like this is going to be bad with doing this to Terri. Terri promised to keep her safe from Lavender when she wanted to kill her personally, so Rose told the driver she had to climb in back. Rose got in back seeing Terri in front of her eyes the beautiful woman that kept her safe in the park. Rose raised her hand saying,
"Ladies, I am not behind this game of what ever Lavender is doing, I'm clueless myself all I can say she is my girlfriend, she was before Terri came to my rescue a while back one thing I can say for sure, I'm not going to let her kill you all."
Terri stood up infuriated at Rose responding,
"You let Lavender take you from me that morning in the park when I promised to keep you safe from her."
Rose bowed her head knowing this is a bad way to approach them responding back softly,
"I only went with her to keep you from suffering a broken heart if we got to close. You loved Brooke and Brooke is perfect for you, I saw the way you were standing in the doorway of her room."
Terri wanted to so badly slap her for what she did at the same time hug her for seeing how much she loved Brooke, a battle in Terri's inside for sure. Rose sat down next to Gale to show Terri she means well and Terri sat down where she was as they all took a big sigh looking at one another not even speaking as it left a toll on them.
