Chapter Eleven
Tree went into her room and gasped in surprise. "One word describes this girl: Stalker.." She looked at all the pictures of Ethan and smiled, some of them showed his goofy grin and others showed him looking very mature and handsome. She quickly scanned through Theresa's labtop diary. "This girl needs some tips. She hasn't even had a date, saving herself for Ethan... you need some experience, honey!" She pulled out a tape recorder.
"Hi, Theresa. It's me, Theresa. That sounds really weird, but I'm your double from another world. Someone sent me here and the only reason that me and my friends can think of is because, well, you guys need serious help with your lives. I'm going to tell you what I've done with Ethan so far, later. Right now, you need help... pictures of Ethan from every magazine he's ever been in is not flattering, it's scary. If you do want these pictures, at least keep them in an album where people can't see your obsession. He is pretty cute, though, isn't he?"
She picked up a polaroid camera, exactly what she needed for her proof. Picking up today's newspaper, she took a picture of herself with it. Pictures of Theresa and her friends scattered the room and she decided to give some more fashion ideas. "Okay, girly, we need to have a serious talk about your hair now..." she shivered. "Also, pink may be your color, but don't over do it... Oy, we have a lot of work ahead of us tonight. "

"What'd you say, Sheridan?" Luis did a double take. "Are you pregnant?"
"Yup, I'm pregnant with your son, Luis Jr. We've been married for this many months!" Sher held up ten fingers then flashed four more. "Clouds are pretty...."
Luis laughed, as did the orderlies. They had just put the drugs in her.
"Really, Sheridan? What else?"
"Well, you look really good in your police uniform." Sher snorted in laughter. "And out of it, Muscle Man!"
Two police men and EMS workers came running down the hallway hauling a bleeding Antoine. "This guy escaped from prison, he got shot trying to escape."
"Mon dieu, stupid cops shot me down when I was just going for a stroll! Idiots!" Antoine screamed out in pain and was wheeled down the hallway by Sher's room.
"That's Antoine!"
"Ze American cop and Sheridan Crane!" Antoine sat up and pulled a gun out of the policeman who was hold him down's holster.
Luis pushed Sher's stretcher to the side as the bullet grazed the pillow she was resting on. Sher and the stretcher kept on going and she hit her head against a heart-rate monitor.
"Oww.... what'd you do that for?" Sher whined and held her head, still totally unaware of what was going on around her since she was hopped on pain killers.
Luis ran and tackled Antoine. "You guys oughta do your job and make sure that doesn't happen again!!"
"We're sorry, sir. We didn't think he-" Luis cut them off.
"Exactly, you didn''t think. Now get this guy back in jail as soon as you can." The policemen nodded quickly and pushed him off to the emergency room.
Eve checked over Sheridan's head. "She has a slight concussion, we're going to have to keep her awake for twenty for hours or she may go into a coma.. she has to get a BWAH BWAH BWAH... BWAH-BWAH BWAHM BWAHM." Sher couldn't understand anymore of the conversation and only heard Eve's medical terminology as sounding like Charlie Brown's teacher.
"You want me to talk to her and keep her awake when Dr. Williams operates on her?" Eve nodded.
"Hey, Luis... you're really cute because your eyebrow goes up like this and the other one stays in place and it's really, really hot..." Sher mumbled, pushing his eyebrows up and down.
"You think so? Tell me more about our wedding." Luis prodded her and just smiled along with everything she said.
"It was really bootiful..." Sher's drugs started to slur her speech. "The colar theme was white and purple, not that cappy lavendah... and and and Tree and Kat were my maids of honor.. and Eve.... she invited herself because just between you and me and the pink elephant in the corner, she's a gold diggin bit.. who.. ska... slu... hussy. When she married my brother, Julian...." She stopped and did a laughing snort again."It was really tacky... but the funniest part was... when... when.... what's her name again? Starts with a Pah .."
"Pilar? Mama?" Luis tried to help her.
"Pil- who you said, she was in charge of the rings, because you know how the best woman for the bridey wifey person has the ring and the best guy has the other ring... Anyways, that name you said accidentally dropped it and when Eve bent down to pick it up... " She laughed loudly then motioned for him to come closer and yelled in his ear. "HER WIG FELL OFF!" Luis lightly laughed and held Sher's hand while she was being operated on. She continued to tell him more stories that he took as delusional fantasies she was having because of the pain killers.

Kat sat in the library up to her arms in books. Simone dropped by and asked her if she wanted to go dress shopping since the prom was tomorrow, but Kat said that she had to learn. Simone, leaving Kat behind, got herself a stunning gown and Kat a gown, too. She just couldn't leave her best friend hanging and knew that Kat would regret it tomorrow.
She picked up her cell phone. "Ivy, how are you?"
"I'm great, Kay. I'm about to talk to Sam, you want to listen in?"
"Sure." Kat answered and was silent while Ivy put the phone in her purse so that Kat could hear.
"Sam, I need to talk to you privately. I swear nothing will happen." She pulled on Sam's arm and he reluctantly agreed, needing to talk to her anyway. After dinner at home, he had work to do at the police station and was surprised to find her there sitting on his desk.
"Ivy, you make this quick because I have quite a few things to say to you, as well." He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Sam, I just want you to know that I am sorry for throwing myself at you." Sam was dumbfounded at her sudden change of heart and was about to say something but Ivy shushed him. "I need to finish this. I realize that what was in the past was in the past, and if we can't have what we once had, then I at least want to be your friend. But I just want you to know that my father forced me into marrying Julian, the way he put it... I couldn't refuse. I wanted to tell you so badly after our night together why we had to break up, but, you see, we have a-" Ivy started coughing hard and bent over.
"Do you need some water, Ivy? Are you all right?" Ivy nodded her head for water and drunk it down.
"I don't know why that happened. I must be coming down with something, but I need to tell you this. You and I, we have a-" Ivy clutched at her chest, finding it very hard to breathe, she ran out of the station to get some fresh air. As soon as she was out of the station, she was perfectly fine and took out her phone.
"Are you all right, Ivy?"
"Yes, Kay. I'm okay. I don't know what that was but as soon as I got out of the station house, I felt worlds better." Ivy held onto her locket to calm herself.
"Ivy, I don't want you telling my Dad about Ethan yet. You did very good work today, I think he believes you just want to be friends. We'll talk more tomorrow, Bye." Kat and Ivy hung up and Kat picked up her occult books. "So it's true... the Witches Stand are still evil and strong, but they don't know that they just got theirselves in a lot of trouble. You mess with my mother, you mess with me."
