The doctor emerged from the room with a small smile. "Mr. Nelson is ready for visitors now. Keep in mind though he won't know you're in there unless you speak, he can still hear you. And if you feel any movement please call us back in." Courtney stood up walking in with Diane and sat next to the hospital bed. Wires and tubes were all around and inside him. She took his hand softly biting her lip. "Hey Duncan.." She took her breath leaning in kissing his head. "Everyone's here for you.. even Gwen came to the hospital." She laughed lightly as she teared up. "I know you still don't really like her, like the rest of the gang but thank you for trying to be cordial with her. She's really changed, for the better you know." She soon bring her knees up to her chest still holding onto his hand. "Izzy and Owen are on their way back now. They are probably on the way to the hospital as we speak.. or as I speak, right?" She laughed lightly looking over at Diane. "I'm gonna shut up now and let your mom talk. You always did say I don't know how to shut my mouth sometimes. I love you, Duncan.. so much."

Gwen left the group to go get a snack from the vending machine looking down at her phone. If only they knew what this guy did, they could go beat his ass. If only Gwen knew who the mysterious guy was. His voice sounded so familar yet she just couldn't put her finger on it. Her thoughts were interrupted as her phone began to ring. "Leshawna! Hey, what's up?" "What is this I hear , about Trent kicking you out and you going to Courtney before me!" She sighed putting her hand to her forehead. she was so into the conversation she didn't notice the woman standing behind her listening to her conversation. "Leshawna, I am a horrible, horrible, horrible person. I hope you're sitting down, this is a long story."

"I swear to god, I will beat that bitch's ass." Bridgette said as she leaned back in her chair covering her face with her hands. "I'm surprised you didn't attack her right then and there. This is one of those times, I would understood." Alejandro explained looking at the asian who just finished telling them what she heard from Gwen. "This is fucking crazy. Gwen deserves to fucking like die or something. Do we tell Mocha though?" He asked looking at the three. "This is her fiancée and someone she thought had changed. We have to tell Courtney." "Tell me what?" Courtney asked as she walked out the room with Diane. "Oh, and two of you can go in now." Geoff's eyes widened pulling Bridgette into the room, afraid to tell her what they just found out. "Okay, now tell me what? Don't just leave me hanging." She laughed softly looking at the couple as Diane excused herself walking away on the phone. "Sit down, amiga." Courtney looked at them confused as she snickered looking at Alejandro. "Okay, amigo." She mocked him as she sat down. "Alright, tell me now. Please." Heather sighed sitting next to her as she explained what she heard Gwen say on the phone.

"Heather, this is getting old. Let it go with Gwen. Now you're lying about stuff like this and it's not funny." Heather looked at her shocked. "What?! Why would I lie about something like that?!" "She's not lying, court." Courtney glared at Heather. "So, you got Alejandro lying with you too? Pathetic." She shook her head standing up walking out.
