~Fallen Prologue ~
 

~~

This was what hell felt like. The searing pain all over her body, and the knowledge that she would do could ever stop the pain.

Unfortunately this was worst, when she was in hell, she held out hope for rescues or a reprieve, but she knew there wasn’t going to be one here.

‘Kay, I can NEVER love you like I love Charity.’ ‘It was a mistake, a horrible mistake, and it meant nothing’

Nothing, how could their love making, have meant nothing to him. It meant the world to her, she had actually walked on air for days afterward, and yet to him it meant nothing. After years of friendship, and risking everything, and anything to be with him, being her fist lover meant nothing to him, because she meant nothing to him.

It was finally setting in, everything her mother and sister said, John and Simone’s warnings, she completely understood now, and the knowledge almost killed her.

Miguel didn’t love her, he didn’t care for her at all, and he would never be hers.

“ Sheridan you can’t have it both ways.” “ You can’t marry my brother, and then tell me you love me.”

Antonio fell against the wall outside the cottage, he felt like the walls where closing in on him. Sheridan loved LUIS. It wasn’t possible, and yet he knew that it sounded right. It was possible, if he really thought about it, he knew it was. Sheridan had been lived in Harmony before she came to the St. Lisa’s, she had spoken of her ‘true love’ countless times, and it could have been Luis.

“ Luis, you know I love you, but I can’t hurt Antonio, he loves me…I’m all he’s got.”

“ No you’re not, he has us. His family.”

“ I owe him this, after everything he done for me, this is the least I could do for him.”

“ The least you could do for him, is tell him the truth, that it’s me you love, that if not for that explosion, we’d be married already.” “ This isn’t how it’s suppose to be. You and Antonio, me and Beth, it’s wrong.”

The entire conversation made him sick, Sheridan felt she ‘owed’ him, and Luis didn’t want to marry Beth. He was a pitying case; she was probably just waiting for him to dye so she could be with his brother.

He needed answers, but who would give them. His Mama and Theresa were trying to keep all bad news from him, Dr. Russell and Liz were obviously hiding things form him, and he had no one else he could turn to…. Except Miguel. Miguel had wanted to tell him something when he brought Sheridan to meet him, but had been held back by Charity, but if he asked him straight out to be honest with him, he knew Miguel wouldn’t lye t him.

Brushing back his hair, he searched hi mind for his brother’s possible location, before it dawned on him, that only place he brother stayed was the Bennett’s. Antonio stepped up to the window just in time to catch Sheridan and Luis passionate kiss, before he turned and head for the garage.

If Sheridan owed him anything, it was at least a way to get to the truth.

“ Well, that’s the fifty cent tour, Jody.” Eve Russell stopped in front of the nurse’s station, and looked at the younger woman. Dr. McCoy was definitely a god sent. A Stanford educated Doctor, that skills were so varied she had yet to specialize, and at the young age of Twenty-two was so revered that she had hospitals all over the world vying for her attention. It was unfortunate that the only thing that brought her here was Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald’s terminal and seemingly incurable illness. “ Once again I’m delighted that you decided to join our staff here at Harmony Memorial, I just wish it could be under better circumstance.” “ Though I suppose if not for Antonio, you be at some other world renown hospital.”

“ Not true, I was looking to settle in a small town, kind of reminds me of home.”

“ Oh really, where are you from?”

“ Some town just outside of West Virginia called Chilton way up in the mountains.” Her voice took on a wistful tone, as a subtle southern drawl drew out the words. “ Heck some to think of it, Harmony may still be too big, for a little country girl like me.”

Eve raised an eyebrow at the words, little country girl, indeed she had an I.Q. of 187, and had been studying medicine since a young age according to her transcripts. Eve began wondering if the young woman could handle all that she was signing on for, when she caught a glint in the corner of the woman’s blue eyes, and pushed the thoughts away. She had seen the look before in her daughter’s eyes, when they got in trouble for something, and lied about it, Jody McCoy knew exactly what she was doing. “ We’ll, I’m sure you’ll find a way to adjust.” “ Have you fought a place to stay yet?”

“ Well, I just got in this morning, and my real estate agent hasn’t shown me anything promising, so it’s probably just going to be the Harmony Inn.” Jody watched as the older woman just shook her head, and pulled out a piece of paper, and began writing.

“ The Harmony Inn, is notorious for it’s bad service.” Handing the Jody the paper, she made a mental note to call Grace.” This ifs the address, of my best friend’s bed and breakfast, I believe she had a couple of rooms available.” “ Should I call ahead and have her get one ready for you?”

“ Sure.” Jody nodded, if she got settled into a room by dinner, tat she had at least four god hours to work on Mr. Lopez-Fitzgerald’s case.

“ Great.” Eve stuck out her hand and smiled at her newest doctor.” Welcome to Harmony, Dr. McCoy.”
