Nicky rushed over to Shane as he slowly crawled into a sitting position. "Oh my God, are you all right?" Shane nodded weakly as Nicky helped him up and led him over to the bed.

Kian groaned as he sat up on the floor. He looked lost and defeated. He had a small wound on the side of his forehead as his head had banged against the floor when he fell.

Nicky stood up and walked over to him, kneeling beside him. "Kian… are you ok?"

Kian nodded as Nicky offered him a tissue to stop the blood flow. "Thank you Nicky. You… you saved me, and… you saved Shane."

Nicky smiled and helped him up. "I think Shane’s anxious to talk to you."

Kian walked over and sat down on the bed beside Shane. Shane looked exhausted and a bit scared. Kian reached out to brush some stray strands of hair from his sweaty forehead.

"Hey Shane… I’m back. I’m… I’m sorry. You know it wasn’t me that hurt you…?"

Shane nodded, the fear disappearing from his eyes. "I know. I’m just glad you’re back. I love you."

Kian scooped Shane into a hug. "I love you too and I missed you."

Nicky smiled as the pair kissed. "Mission completed." He said to himself as he left the room to leave the pair alone. He decided to share with Bryan for the night, Shane and Kian would have a lot of lost time to catch up on.
