A/N: I found someone that fits perfectly for the roll of Celeste. It's none other than Torrey DeVitto. I love her acting skills and she will always be Crazy Nanny Carrie to me from my all time Fav TV show One Tree Hill.

A hand wraps around Maddox's necks. "That's a shame," a female says.

Maddox's eyes widen for a second before he clears his face of emotion. "Celeste?" He whispers.

I turn to the beautiful brown haired woman, with big brown eyes and tanned skinned. She is tall. But, I think she looks that way while I'm sitting.

Celeste kisses his neck. "Yeah, baby. It's me. I've missed you."

I move Maddox's hand from my stomach. I push out the chair and run to the bathroom. The small amount of food I've had during the day come out.

I hear the door get pushed open.

Someone laughs. "Did you see how quickly she got away from Maddox and Celeste? I think Celeste will have him back by the end of the week."

Someone says. "Do you want a bet?"

I look out the door and see Alecia with the Girlfriends.

"I'm going with a million dollars that Maddox will break up with Samantha." Alecia flips her blonde hair over her shoulders. She applies gloss to her lips and smacks them together.

The dark haired girl look at Alecia. "I don't think Maddox is going to break up with Sam. She's a better choice than Celeste. You're on for a million dollars."

I wonder what the football players would think of those girls gambling away their money.

I hear the door open again and the voices disappear. I step out the door and the toilet door opens again.

Celeste walks in. She smirks. "That a girl. Know your place in the kingdom and we won't have a problem. I'm going to take what belongs to me and you'll be left in the dust." She blows me a kiss and walks into a toilet.

This bitch is annoying.

I open my purse and see a small bottle of water. I fill it up and walk to the stall she's in and I throw the water all over her.

She screams. "I'm going to kill you."

"Stay away from Maddox and I." I open the door and head toward the table.

Maddox stands when he sees me. He walks over to me.

I smile.

Maddox's eyes open wide. "Samantha," he yells.

I turn in time to see Celeste run after me and she shoves me on the ground. My back hits the concrete and then my head is slammed against it. Everything goes black.

Maddox POV

I can't believe my ex is here and she's already ruining a perfect even that I had planned for my fiancé with my team mates and their partners.

Samantha's still in the bathroom.

I hope she's alright.

Celeste sits in Samantha's chair. "What are you doing?"

She puts her hand on my leg and brings it closer to my zipper.

I take her hand off me. "Get lost, Celeste. I'm here with my fiancé. I don't need you to ruin another relationship of mine. Samantha isn't like the other girls and I won't let you treat them the same way." I point to the door. "You need to go, Celeste."

She shakes her head. "You can't tell me what to do, Maddox. Oh, your son is looking forward to seeing you tomorrow." She kisses my cheek. "Meet us at the wharf where you get the boat for the Statue of Liberty at 9am?" she picks up her bad and walks to the toilets.

I hope Sam's alright in there with Celeste.

A couple minutes later, I see Sam exit the bathroom. I rise from my seat.

At the corner of my eye I see Celeste. Her face is red. She runs toward Sam."

"Samantha." I yell.

She turns around and she is pushed by Celeste.

Sam's back hits the concrete. Celeste slams Sam's head against the concrete.

I run to Sam and she closes her eyes. Sam's face goes pale and she closes her eyes.

What do I do? I thought.

My friends have their phones out making calls. I hold Sam's hand. I feel something fall down my cheeks and splash on Sam. Oh, I'm crying. I never cry.

I don't know what happens after I put the shirt behind her head because everything goes by in a blur.

***

I'm pacing back and forth in the halls of the hospital. A doctor walks out of the room. "Who's here for Samantha Black?"

I walk over to him. "That's me."

"When Samantha got here we took an x-ray of her brain and we found she had bleeding on the brain and we had to open her up and drain the blood. We had to put her in a coma."

What about the baby?

"The baby?"

I look into the hall and see a gurney being pushed down the hall. I watch it disappears from view.

The doctor smiles. "The baby is fine. Your girlfriend didn't land on her stomach if she did it would be another story."

I shake the guy's hand. "Thanks, Doc. When can I see her?"

"She's getting settled into a room now. I'll send a nurse to get you." The doctor walks away.

Liz moves towards me and wraps her arms around me. "That's good news about the baby. If I see Celeste again I'm going to kick her arse. This needs to stop. If you aren't going to the cops about her, I'll do it for you. She nearly killed Samantha and your baby. What else do you have to go through, Maddox?"

I pull her away from me. "I deserve everything I get from Celeste. I killed her brother."

Liz shakes her head. "You didn't." she yells. "It was an accident. A drunk driver crashed into your car and it flipped a couple of times before going over a cliff." She grabs my face. "You could have died. No, scratch that. You did die. But, by some miracle you were brought back to life and given another chance. Don't waste it by listening to everything that Celeste has to say. She's poisonous and you don't need that in your life."

Sorry if this chapter sucks.

I've been working on some side project the last couple of days. I should be back to updating the other books by Thursday.

With Daylight savings in Aus (NSW) the time seems to be getting away from me. :-(
