DESTINY

38

A couple of days passed and Destiny and Costa were going over some last minute details for the wedding.  "Now since Didi and Johnny are going to be there at the reception how about for their dinner they have chicken fingers with tater tots and green beans".  "Sounds good just remember to put that down for Criss's meal" Destiny joked.  A knock came to the door Costa went to get it and at the door was Shaunyl.  "Shaunyl I see they let you out of the hospital". 

"Yea I was wondering if you knew where Criss is.  He isn't at his house, the magic factory or the Luxor I wanted to explain to him what happened and why I did what I did" she remarked.  "Come on in" and Shaunyl walked in.  "Also thanks for taking care of Johnny where is he any way?".  "He's with Lynn and Didi listen Shaunyl you hurt Criss pretty bad with what you did" Costa stated.  "But you know I was being black mailed by his ex".  "Shaunyl you hurt Criss so much he slit his wrist because he couldn't live with out Johnny in his life"Destiny remarked. 

Shaunyl couldn't believe it as she sat down. "Is he OK now?".  "We sent him to a mental health center in Henderson he doesn't know that you were black mailed by Sandra we thought you should tell him" Costa suggested. "I don't know if I can after hearing what happened" wiping the tears away.  "Shaunyl it might help Criss get through this if he hears it from you" Destiny said.  "Let me think about it"she said and left. 

The next day Criss was reading in his room when someone told him he had a visitor.  He came out to see Destiny.  "Destiny how are you?" giving her a hug.  "I'm good Johnny misses you he keeps asking when dad come home" .  Criss chuckled.  "After I get out of here I'm going to fight Shaunyl for custody of Johnny" he said.  "Christopher Shaunyl's outside she has something to tell you".  "If she here to tell me Johnny isn't mine-". 

"Criss calm down before they have to sedate you she wants to explain why she did what she did to you" Destiny said.  "I don't think I can" rubbing the bandage around his wrist.  "If you're not ready I'll let you decide when you're ready".  "How about never" Criss replied and started to walk off when Shaunyl came in. 

"Christopher".  "What do you want punch another hole in my heart" he asked a bit angry.  "No nothing like that I love you but I was forced to do that to you".  "By who my mother listen Shaunyl I'm not in the mood to listen to your story I just want to get better and when I am I'm going to make sure you never hurt me again" and left as tears fell down her face.
