CHAPTER 1
It was almost two months since Lucy gave birth to her and Mark's beautiful baby girl, whom they named Summer, because she was born in June.
Mark had noticed Lucy never really had anything to do with Summer she changed her nappy and fed her but she nevre played with her and spent any time with her and this was worrying Mark he wanted to mention it to Lucy but he didn't want to upset her but he decided enough was enough he was too worried to let this go on.
"Hey baby", Mark mumbled ashe wrapped his arms around Lucy's waist while she was folding some clothes she had just taken out from the dryer.
"Hey", she mumbled back. Lucy what's wrong? Is it SUmer? Is it me have I done somthing wrong?;, Mark asked feeling now was the right time to talk to Lucy about her distant behaviour towards their baby daughter.
"What? Mark what are you talking about?"
Lucy you have been acting so distant towards Summer ever since we brought her home from hospital. You change her nappy and feed her and thats aout it. You never play with her, you never spend any time wth her. The only time you soend with Summer os when your feeding her or changing her nappy or somthing never any "mother and daughter" time.
Why? Why don;t you want to spend any time with her Lucy? PLease tell me why?
Look Mark I...I... Lucy was barlet able to speak as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
Ssshhh I'm sorry I'm so sorry baby. Please don't cry. It's ok! Hey ssshhh please stop crying baby Mark said while holding Lucy in his arms while she was crying.
Mark I'm sorry but I jsut find it so difficult. I lvoe her, of course I do, but I'm afraid that if I pick her up or play with her that I might hurt her and I don't want that. I wanna be able to play with her like you do but I...I... I'm so so scared that UI'll hurt her. Agin tears started to fall down Lucy's face.
CHAPTER 2
Mark again mentioned to Lucy baout her behaviour and the both decided that they would give counselling a go for a while and see what happened over the next few weeks. Mark then picked up the phone and made an appointment to go see the counsellor.
*2 DAYS LATER*
Mark and Lucy arrived at the cousellor's office and waited for their number to be called.
After 15 minutes of waiting Mark and Lucy were called to go in and see their cousellor.
Once inside the office Lucy and MArk introduced themselves and told the cousellor why they were there.
"Ok, Lucy, I think you have Post Natal Depression also known as PND, but obviously I can't be sute, but over the next few weeks I'll keep an eye on you and then we'll know what's wrong.
"Ok." Lucy said back.
For the next hour Lucy and Mark chatted to teh copusellor and ansewered any questions she asked them.
Mrk had taken quite a liking to the counsellor, he thought she was stunning looking and had a great body and was very curvey. Lucy had noticed this
and became a little bit upset about it but never told Mark because he would think it's the Post Natal Depression.
When they got home Mark rang Shane and asked him if he wanted to come over for a while and Shane accepted. 10 minutes later Shane arrived.
Mark immediately started telling Shane about the cousellor but didn't realise that the baby moniter was plugged into the walled beside his chair and that Lucy could hear everything he was saying.
After listening for well over an hour Lucy decided she would confront Mark about it and she did. She burst into the romm and asked him straight out and the guilt was written all over his face.
Before he had a chance to explainLucy ran out frmo the house and across the fireld at the back of their house and stopped when she came to the edge of the cliff.
Mark was going mad with worry, how could I have been so stupid thinking she wouldn't hear me and hte baby monitor standing right beside.Mark said while tears formed in his eyes.
It was now 11.30pm at night and it was 6 hours after Lucy had gone missing and Mark was getting really worried now.
After an other 30 minutes of waiting Mark calle the police and told them everything that happened. The police were not gone 10 minutes when they were back again.
"Mark we have some news for you, but be prepared, it's not good news...
CHAPTER 3
"Tell me! Is it Lucy? Have you found her? Is she ok?"
Mark we're sorry to say but theres been a body washed up on the beach at the other side of the field behind your house where the cliffs are. And as you said Lucy rana cross the field so then there's a massive chance it could be her.
"Oh no, please tell me your joking. Is she alive or dead?"
We don't know all we do know is that the body has been removed to Sligo Gneral Hospital and we need you to come down there anmd confirm if it is Lucy or not."
Mark and the police headed over to Sligo General Hospital.
*20 minutes later*
Mark had seens the persons body and sadly it was Lucy's...
Lucy wasn't dead she was just un-concious.
Mark asked the nurses if he could stay at the hospital all night so he could be there if Lucy woke up the nurses agreeed and told him the would have a fold-up bed put into the room so he could sleep on the floor if he wanted.
Mark thanked the nurses and went home to pack some clean clothes for tomrrow and also birng in some things for Lucy.
Mark arrived abck at the hospital 45 minutes after he left to go home to bring some stuff in to the hospital for Lucy and when he returned he was told that Lucy was awake but wasn't allowed to cat for too long as she needed her rest.
Mark nodded and went into the room..
"What are you doing here Mark?"
"Im here cos I don't want to leave you alone in here. I know how much you hate hospitals and how much they scare you."
"You're her ebecause I hate hospital and because they scare me.You're not here because you want to be or because you love me?!. Why did you tlak to Shane about the cousellor for over an hour and never mention anything nice about me once?. "Oh Shane she's gorgeous. She has a great body and the most stunning legs I've ever seen. When I forst set eyes on her I thought I was going to kiss her but then I remembered Lucy was there." Lucy quoted Mark's words.
Tell me Mark if I wasn't there would you have kissed her?
Well?
"Probably."
I'm sorry. But I have feeling's for her and ever since I saw her this afternoon I haven't been able to get her out of my head. I'm sorry. I'll move out of the house and you and Summer can live there. I'll find somewhere else soon/ And with that Mark left the hospital leaving a broken hearted Lucy there.
CHAPTER 4
Lucy asked the nurse how long she would be in hospital for?
"you'll have to stay in over night and then in the morning the doctor will decide then you can go home."
"Ok, thanks." Lucy rpelied back.
11am and Lucy was getting lonely in the hospital but not because there was no one there with here but because she was thinkg about her life and how Mark could just up and leave her like that.She wasn't too long thinking when the door opened and the cousellor and cousellor walked in.Lucy felt anger rise inside her and her blood boil.How could the cousellor who was called Michelle have the cheek to come and see her after what happened.
"Hi Lucy. How are you?"
How am I? HOW AM I? I'll tell you how I am shall I? I'm upset, angry, disgusted but most of all I'm hurt. How could you just take one look at my boyfriend, the father oif my child, the love of my life and the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. and think "Ooh he's goodlooking. I want him so I'm gonna have ghim."
Get out! Lucy said with a shakey voice. "Lucy please, I'm sorry..." "GET OUT!!!" Lucy shouted.The nurses came running in and asked what was going on? I want her out of here NOW! and if she comes back she is not to be allowed into this room as long as I'm here and neither is that man that was here last night! The pair of them can go to hell!. and with that Lucy broke down in tears.
The nurse told Michelle to go and without giving Michelle a chance to reply the nruse opened the door for her to go.
Coyuld you please call me friend if I give you her name and number? Lucy asked the nurse while tears were still flowing freely down her face.
"Of course I can. Lucy then told the nurse her friends name and number.
20 minutes alter Lucy's friends arrived.
Hi girls. Lucy said. She hardl'y had the words out of ehr mouth when she broke down in tears again.
After a few minutes Luct stopped crying and told the girls evrything that happened.
"I'll kill him. Wait till I get my hands on Shane Bloody Filan!!!" Chrissie said angrily.
Hi abae. Shane said as Chrissie came home from the hospital.
"Don't you "Hi babe" me Shane Filan>!
Is tomthign wrong Chrissie? Has somthing happened?
"Oh YES! Somthing has happened! Mark dumped Lucy for that cousellor they were going to see to help Lucy get over her Post Natal Depression. He's left her for that tramp!"
He's what?! Shane cried out in disbelief. Shane couldn't believe what he just heard.
Not for long! I'm oging over to him now and I'm going to ruin his new reeationship! How could he do this to Lucy?! She's lost her whole ffamily and now he dumps her!! An dwith that Shane left to go over to Mark's parents house to talk to Mark.
CHAPTER 5
Shane arrived at Mark's parents house and impatiently waited for someone to answer.After waiting for 5 minutes Shane was about to go when Marie, Mark's mum opened the door.
Hi Marie. Is Mark here?
Hello Shane. Yes Mark is here and that tramp that he calles his girlfriend is here with him. Im telling ya Shane the sooner he sees sense the better.
Marie invited Shane in and told ihm to go through to the living room where Mark and his new girlfriend Michelle were.
Shane walked into the living only to get ehe shock of his life...
"SHANE" Michelle cried out in disbelief.
"MICHELLE?!? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE? AND WHY ARE YOU HOLDING MARK'S HAND YOU TRAMP?!?!?
WELL??" Shane shouted.
"OI! Don't speak to Michelle like that! And she is holding my hand because she is my new girlfriend!
Anyway how come you two know each other? Mark asked feeling completly cinfused by what had just happened.
"DOY OU WANT TO TELL HIM OR WILL I MICHELLE?
WELL?" Shane shouted again.
"Filan I've told you not to speak to my girl like that! Don't make me tell you again ok?!" Mark spat
Mark, Michelle started, Shane and me know each other because I tried to split ihm and Chrissie up a few months ago. No one knew only Chrissie, Shane and myself. I still lvo0e Shane and the only reeason Im dating you is because I want to make him jealous.
"YOU COW!' I've dumped Lucy, it's my fault she jumped off the cliff, and I may never see my baby daughter again because I chose YOU over Summer and Lucy."
"YOUR APOISION! AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! NOW GET OUT BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT!" Mark shouted at Michelle while feeling nothing but anger inside his body.
CHAPTER 6
*Wednesday 4th August 9.30am*
Lucy was sat up in her bed in the hospital waiting for the doctor to come and when he did she asked him when she could go home?
"Lucy, you can go home today if you wish or you could stay in here for a few days?
I'll go. but thank you.
One hour later Nicky and his girlfriend Mandi along with Kian and his girlfriend Chhrostona came in to visit Lucy. Nicky and Mandi decided that they would take her home and while Nicky and the rest of the lads had to go to England next wekk to do interviews to promote their new album, Chrissie, Mandi, Christina and Sally, Shane's sister would come and stay with Lucy until the boys got back.
11.15am
Nicky, Mandi and Lucy left the hospitla and Nicky drove over to Lucy's house, the one she used to share with Mark before he left her.
Nicky walked Lucy up to the door and wanted to take her bag inside
"Thanks Nicky' But I'll manage and anyway I want to be on my own for a while."
"But Luce..." No Nicky. I'll call you later this afternoon ok? and with that Lucy went inside the house adn left Nicky standing at the door.
She has jsut taken off her coat when Mark came walking out from the kitchen.
"Mark" Lucy said weakly. He could see the pain in her eyes when she saw him.
"Lucy baby, I was a fool. Im so sorry. Please forgive me Honey?"
No Mark. It's very easy for me to say "Yeahm Sure Mark. Ill take oyu back and we can try work through it."
But I can never be sure that you won't see someone else adn think "Ooh she's nice. I like her." and then dump me and break my heart and life all over again Mark. I couldn't go through it again. I'm sorry.
CHAPTER 7
Im going for a shower and when I come down we need to talk about Summer. And with that Lucy walked up the stairs leaving a broken Mark behind.
"Why Mark? Why did you do what you did? I loved you, You know I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Why oh why?..." Lucy softly sobbed to herself.
30 minutes later Lucy came down the stairs to find Mark had gone. But he had left her a letter which she found on the kitchen table...
Dear Lucy,
I'm so sorry baby. I should never have hurt you the way I did. I can see that now.
When you read this I'll be gone and you and Summer will be lots happier without me around. I could never be a good dad. What kind of dad chooses some random girl over his own daughter? I'm a fool!
Anyway I just wanted to thank you for all the happy times we had together, I'll never forget them, and I don't want you to either!
When Summer is old enough could you pleas eshow her photos of me so she'll know who I am and what I look like please? I want her to know that I'm her dad!
I'm going to write her a letter too and when she is old enough could you please give it to her, thank you.
I love you, I always have and I always will, please remember it and never forget it!
All my heart & Love,
Markie xxxx
------------------------------
Dear Summer,
Please remember that I love you, I always have and I always will. No matter what happens in life please remember that you and your mummy are the two most important people in my life.
I remember the day she told me she was pregnant with you, it was the best day of my life. At first when she said she "had somthing to tell me" I thought she found another man that she wanted to spend her whol lie with, I thougth she was breaking up with me, and then when she told me that she was pregnant with you, I jsut burst into tears. I was counting the seconds of every day until the second you were born and I still couldn't belive it. I was a dad! I had the msot beautiful daughter anyone could ever have!
Always take care of your mummy for me cause I know she'll always take the best care of you!
I lvoe you both more than you'll ever know!
Love,
Daddy xxxx
CHAPTER 8
"NICKY" Lucy shouted down the phone.
"Lucy whats wrong? Whats happened?"
Nicky, It's Mark. When I got in the or after you brought me home I had just taken my coat off when Mark came walking out from the kitchen and asked me to take him back and I said no because I couldn't be sure that he wouldn't put me through this all over again. Then I told him I was going for a shower and when I came down that we needed to talk about Summer and when I camek down he was gone and he left a letter for myself and one for Summer and when I read the letters I got the impression he was going to do somthing stupid like take his own life or somthing and I've tried called ihm but hid phone is tunred off! Lucy said while tears were streaming down her face.
'Where are you now Lucy?" Nicky asked frantic.
Im at home.
"Stay there. I'm coming over straight away. Call the police and tell them everything hun!"
Ok Nix, do you think he'll do anything?
"No I don't think so, but we can't be sure."
10 minutes later Nicky and the other lads arrived at Lucy's house. 5 minutes after that the police arrived and Lucy told them everything and showed them the letters.
8pm.
Shane's sister Leanne phoned Shane and told him they need to get over to Sligo Gneral Hospital A.S.A.P. Leanne told Shane abut how she ofund Mark lying in an alley way with an empty bottle of vaodk and pills beside him.
CHAPTER 9
Nicky and Lucy drove to the hospital in Nicky's car. Everyone else decided to wait at Lucy's house cos there was no point in everyone been at the hospital where they couldn't do anything.
"You ok Luce?" Nicky asked.
Yeah, no, I don't know Nix. It's all my fault that he has done this. How could I be so stupid. I need him Nix. I can't live without him anymore. My heart is aching & breaking and only Mark can fix it. It's not his fault it's Michelle's fault! If I loose him Nix, I dunno what I'll do.
"Don't talk like that! You're not going to loose him! He's a fighter! He'll get better! I promise!"
15 minutes later Lucy & Nicky arrived at the hospital and we're greeted by Mark's doctor.
"Hello, I'm Dr.Mathews. Im looking after Mark while he is in here."
Hello, IM Nicky Mark's best friend and this is Lucy his girlfriend and the mother of his child.
How is he? Lucy finally asked.
:He's not good I'm afraid. If Mark doesn't wake up within the next hour then we doubtful there will be anything we can do to save him. Im sorry."
B...bu..but he can't go. I need him. Summer needs him. Lucy barely had the words out of her mouth when Mark's heart monitor started beeping.
Whats happeneing? "Mark?" "MAAAAARK" Lucy screamed
Mark don't go please baby. I need you. Summer needs you. Summer needs her dad.
A nursee came over to Mark and Lucy and asked them to wait outside while they ran some tests on Mark.
Nicky just nodded not able to speak.
"Ok, but if there anything you come and tell us? Lucy asked with a pleading voice and begging eyes.
"Of course.
Lucy & Nicky went into the waiting room.
After waiting for over 30 mins Lucy & Nicky were about to go and find the doctor whe he came into the waiting room to speak to them.
"Lucy, Nicky."
HOW IS HE? Lucy shouted with tears streaming down her face.
"Im sorry to say but it doesn't look like Mark will make it. We have made him as comfortable as possible but until tomorrow we won't know anything more. Im sorry.
Lucy ran out of the hospital anf went over to her babysitters house to ask if she could look after Summer all night.
"Emma. open up, it's me Lucy."
"Hiya Lucy, I was just feeding Summer."
Before she knew it Lucy broke down in tears.
"Lucy, whats wrong? whats happened? Emma asked visibly worried
"Emma, it's Mark he overdoesed on vodka and pills and e is in hospital right now. So I need you too look after Summer all night? Can she stay here with you please? Is that ok? It's just until I know more about Mark's ciondition and if he will live or not?"
"Of course Lucy. You don't need to explain just keep me posted about Mark.:
"Thanks ever so much Emma. I'd better be going now. I have to go back to the hospital to see Mark."
CHAPTER 10
Lucy went back to the hospital where she was greeted by Nicky.
"Luce I rang everyone else and told them so they are coming over here now. Im sorry but I thought the neded to know."
Ok Nix. You're right. Im just gonna go sit with Mark for a while. I wanna spend as much time as apossible with him in case somthing happens. Lucy said with a shakey voice.

"Ok Mark. The doctor will be around in about an hour to see you ok?"
"Mm-hm" Mark replied.

"Ssh honey. It's ok. I didn't mean for anything to happen or for things to go this far Lucy but I jsut wanted to block out the pain of not having you in my lfe again."
Mark I love you and well..if you still want to give things another go then we'll try again BUT you have to promise me that you won't ever hurt me like this again Mark cos I just couldn't go through it again..."
"Really?! You really wanna try again? Baby I would love to give things another go and I promise that I'll never even look at another girl ever again if it mean I could risk losing you, Summer or both of you."
'So can I have a kiss now?"
Without saying another wotk Mark softly brushed his lips against Lucy's.

How could you just take one look at my boyfriend, the father oif my child, the love of my life and the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. and think "Ooh he's goodlooking. I want him so I'm gonna have ghim."

I want her out of here NOW! and if she comes back she is not to be allowed into this room as long as I'm here and neither is that man that was here last night! The pair of them can go to hell!. and with that Lucy broke down in tears.
The nurse told Michelle to go and without giving Michelle a chance to reply the nruse opened the door for her to go.
Coyuld you please call me friend if I give you her name and number? Lucy asked the nurse while tears were still flowing freely down her face.
"Of course I can. Lucy then told the nurse her friends name and number.
20 minutes alter Lucy's friends arrived.

Marie invited Shane in and told ihm to go through to the living room where Mark and his new girlfriend Michelle were.
Shane walked into the living only to get ehe shock of his life...
"SHANE" Michelle cried out in disbelief.
"MICHELLE?!? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE? AND WHY ARE YOU HOLDING MARK'S HAND YOU TRAMP?!?!?

"OI! Don't speak to Michelle like that! And she is holding my hand because she is my new girlfriend!
Anyway how come you two know each other? Mark asked feeling completly cinfused by what had just happened.
"DOY OU WANT TO TELL HIM OR WILL I MICHELLE?

"Filan I've told you not to speak to my girl like that! Don't make me tell you again ok?!" Mark spat
Mark, Michelle started, Shane and me know each other because I tried to split ihm and Chrissie up a few months ago. No one knew only Chrissie, Shane and myself. I still lvo0e Shane and the only reeason Im dating you is because I want to make him jealous.
"YOU COW!' I've dumped Lucy, it's my fault she jumped off the cliff, and I may never see my baby daughter again because I chose YOU over Summer and Lucy."
"YOUR APOISION! AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! NOW GET OUT BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT!" Mark shouted at Michelle while feeling nothing but anger inside his body.
CHAPTER 6
*Wednesday 4th August 9.30am*
Lucy was sat up in her bed in the hospital waiting for the doctor to come and when he did she asked him when she could go home?
"Lucy, you can go home today if you wish or you could stay in here for a few days?
I'll go. but thank you.
One hour later Nicky and his girlfriend Mandi along with Kian and his girlfriend Chhrostona came in to visit Lucy. Nicky and Mandi decided that they would take her home and while Nicky and the rest of the lads had to go to England next wekk to do interviews to promote their new album, Chrissie, Mandi, Christina and Sally, Shane's sister would come and stay with Lucy until the boys got back.
11.15am
Nicky, Mandi and Lucy left the hospitla and Nicky drove over to Lucy's house, the one she used to share with Mark before he left her.
Nicky walked Lucy up to the door and wanted to take her bag inside
"Thanks Nicky' But I'll manage and anyway I want to be on my own for a while."
"But Luce..." No Nicky. I'll call you later this afternoon ok? and with that Lucy went inside the house adn left Nicky standing at the door.
She has jsut taken off her coat when Mark came walking out from the kitchen.
"Mark" Lucy said weakly. He could see the pain in her eyes when she saw him.
"Lucy baby, I was a fool. Im so sorry. Please forgive me Honey?"
No Mark. It's very easy for me to say "Yeahm Sure Mark. Ill take oyu back and we can try work through it."
But I can never be sure that you won't see someone else adn think "Ooh she's nice. I like her." and then dump me and break my heart and life all over again Mark. I couldn't go through it again. I'm sorry.
CHAPTER 7
Im going for a shower and when I come down we need to talk about Summer. And with that Lucy walked up the stairs leaving a broken Mark behind.
"Why Mark? Why did you do what you did? I loved you, You know I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Why oh why?..." Lucy softly sobbed to herself.
30 minutes later Lucy came down the stairs to find Mark had gone. But he had left her a letter which she found on the kitchen table...
Dear Lucy,
I'm so sorry baby. I should never have hurt you the way I did. I can see that now.
When you read this I'll be gone and you and Summer will be lots happier without me around. I could never be a good dad. What kind of dad chooses some random girl over his own daughter? I'm a fool!
Anyway I just wanted to thank you for all the happy times we had together, I'll never forget them, and I don't want you to either!
When Summer is old enough could you pleas eshow her photos of me so she'll know who I am and what I look like please? I want her to know that I'm her dad!
I'm going to write her a letter too and when she is old enough could you please give it to her, thank you.
I love you, I always have and I always will, please remember it and never forget it!
All my heart & Love,
Markie xxxx
------------------------------
Dear Summer,
Please remember that I love you, I always have and I always will. No matter what happens in life please remember that you and your mummy are the two most important people in my life.
I remember the day she told me she was pregnant with you, it was the best day of my life. At first when she said she "had somthing to tell me" I thought she found another man that she wanted to spend her whol lie with, I thougth she was breaking up with me, and then when she told me that she was pregnant with you, I jsut burst into tears. I was counting the seconds of every day until the second you were born and I still couldn't belive it. I was a dad! I had the msot beautiful daughter anyone could ever have!
Always take care of your mummy for me cause I know she'll always take the best care of you!
I lvoe you both more than you'll ever know!
Love,
Daddy xxxx
CHAPTER 8
"NICKY" Lucy shouted down the phone.
"Lucy whats wrong? Whats happened?"
Nicky, It's Mark. When I got in the or after you brought me home I had just taken my coat off when Mark came walking out from the kitchen and asked me to take him back and I said no because I couldn't be sure that he wouldn't put me through this all over again. Then I told him I was going for a shower and when I came down that we needed to talk about Summer and when I camek down he was gone and he left a letter for myself and one for Summer and when I read the letters I got the impression he was going to do somthing stupid like take his own life or somthing and I've tried called ihm but hid phone is tunred off! Lucy said while tears were streaming down her face.
'Where are you now Lucy?" Nicky asked frantic.
Im at home.
"Stay there. I'm coming over straight away. Call the police and tell them everything hun!"
Ok Nix, do you think he'll do anything?
"No I don't think so, but we can't be sure."
10 minutes later Nicky and the other lads arrived at Lucy's house. 5 minutes after that the police arrived and Lucy told them everything and showed them the letters.
8pm.
Shane's sister Leanne phoned Shane and told him they need to get over to Sligo Gneral Hospital A.S.A.P. Leanne told Shane abut how she ofund Mark lying in an alley way with an empty bottle of vaodk and pills beside him.
CHAPTER 9
Nicky and Lucy drove to the hospital in Nicky's car. Everyone else decided to wait at Lucy's house cos there was no point in everyone been at the hospital where they couldn't do anything.
"You ok Luce?" Nicky asked.
Yeah, no, I don't know Nix. It's all my fault that he has done this. How could I be so stupid. I need him Nix. I can't live without him anymore. My heart is aching & breaking and only Mark can fix it. It's not his fault it's Michelle's fault! If I loose him Nix, I dunno what I'll do.
"Don't talk like that! You're not going to loose him! He's a fighter! He'll get better! I promise!"
15 minutes later Lucy & Nicky arrived at the hospital and we're greeted by Mark's doctor.
"Hello, I'm Dr.Mathews. Im looking after Mark while he is in here."
Hello, IM Nicky Mark's best friend and this is Lucy his girlfriend and the mother of his child.
How is he? Lucy finally asked.
:He's not good I'm afraid. If Mark doesn't wake up within the next hour then we doubtful there will be anything we can do to save him. Im sorry."
B...bu..but he can't go. I need him. Summer needs him. Lucy barely had the words out of her mouth when Mark's heart monitor started beeping.
Whats happeneing? "Mark?" "MAAAAARK" Lucy screamed
Mark don't go please baby. I need you. Summer needs you. Summer needs her dad.
A nursee came over to Mark and Lucy and asked them to wait outside while they ran some tests on Mark.
Nicky just nodded not able to speak.
"Ok, but if there anything you come and tell us? Lucy asked with a pleading voice and begging eyes.
"Of course.
Lucy & Nicky went into the waiting room.
After waiting for over 30 mins Lucy & Nicky were about to go and find the doctor whe he came into the waiting room to speak to them.
"Lucy, Nicky."
HOW IS HE? Lucy shouted with tears streaming down her face.
"Im sorry to say but it doesn't look like Mark will make it. We have made him as comfortable as possible but until tomorrow we won't know anything more. Im sorry.
Lucy ran out of the hospital anf went over to her babysitters house to ask if she could look after Summer all night.
"Emma. open up, it's me Lucy."
"Hiya Lucy, I was just feeding Summer."
Before she knew it Lucy broke down in tears.
"Lucy, whats wrong? whats happened? Emma asked visibly worried
"Emma, it's Mark he overdoesed on vodka and pills and e is in hospital right now. So I need you too look after Summer all night? Can she stay here with you please? Is that ok? It's just until I know more about Mark's ciondition and if he will live or not?"
"Of course Lucy. You don't need to explain just keep me posted about Mark.:
"Thanks ever so much Emma. I'd better be going now. I have to go back to the hospital to see Mark."
CHAPTER 10
Lucy went back to the hospital where she was greeted by Nicky.
"Luce I rang everyone else and told them so they are coming over here now. Im sorry but I thought the neded to know."
Ok Nix. You're right. Im just gonna go sit with Mark for a while. I wanna spend as much time as apossible with him in case somthing happens. Lucy said with a shakey voice.

"NURSE! NURSE! HE'S AWAKE!!!" Lucy shouted over to teh nurse.
"Hello Mark. My name is Sally and Im the nurse. How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?"
"No" Mark said weakly.
"Ok Mark. The doctor will be around in about an hour to see you ok?"
"Mm-hm" Mark replied.
Mark Im so sorry. Lucy said with tears flowing freely down her face.
"Ssh honey. It's ok. I didn't mean for anything to happen or for things to go this far Lucy but I jsut wanted to block out the pain of not having you in my lfe again."
Mark I love you and well..if you still want to give things another go then we'll try again BUT you have to promise me that you won't ever hurt me like this again Mark cos I just couldn't go through it again..."
"Really?! You really wanna try again? Baby I would love to give things another go and I promise that I'll never even look at another girl ever again if it mean I could risk losing you, Summer or both of you."
'So can I have a kiss now?"
Without saying another wotk Mark softly brushed his lips against Lucy's.
