This is a Days/Passions cross-over.

Chapter 1

Chole sat in the backseat of the Explorer smashed between Belle and Mimi wondering how she had gotten there. And worst of all, Phillip Kiriakis was driving. She knew that half of the people in the car didn't like her, but at least Belle and Shawn were there.

The two boys sat in the front and argued over the map. They were supposed to be going to a ski lodge, yet they were lost.

Phillip: I know what I'm doing!

Chole: There's a first.

Phillip glared at her in the rearview mirror.

Shawn: Look, you have to get on this highway.

They rode in silence a little while longer, and then they passed a sign that said: Harmony 10.

Phillip: Good there's a town coming up. I need to get some gas.

Mimi: Thank God! I have to use the bathroom so bad!

Belle and Chole in unison: Me too!

After a few more minutes they passed another sign that said Harmony 5. All of a sudden a deer darted out in front of the vehicle. Phillip swerved to avoid it, but hit it anyway. They slid on the icy road and rolled down a hill. The truck landed on its roof. Phillip's head had hit the steering wheel and he was unconscious. Everyone had, had their seatbelts on and Phillip was the only one hurt.

Belle: What happened? Is everyone alright?

Everyone spoke up except Phillip. Chole undid her seatbelt and crawled on the roof, which was now the floor, and checked his pulse.

Chloe: He's still alive, but he needs help.

Everyone undid their seatbelt and sat on the roof. Shawn helped Chloe get Phillip down and they all sat thinking about what they were going to do.

Shawn: I'm going to walk to that town and get some help. You girls stay here.

Belle: You are not going out there alone. What if something happens? I'll go with you.

Shawn: I'm not going to be able to talk you out of this am I?

Belle smiled: Not in your life.

Shawn: Ok. You two stay here and we'll go get help ok?

Mimi started freaking out: You can't leave me here! I don't want to die!

Belle grabbed a hold of Mimi: Your not going to die. Everything is going to be all right. Ok? We'll be back in no time.

Shawn and Belle started out for Harmony. They were bundled in their ski clothes. Shawn tied a scarf around a tree to signal where the wreck was.

Back in the car Chloe was trying to calm Mimi down.

Chloe: Here Mimi, lay down and rest until help comes. There is nothing we can do. We just have to wait.

After Chloe got Mimi straightened out, she turned her attention to Phillip.

She dug in her suitcase and found some warm clothes and a blanket. She sat down on the roof and pulled Phillip into her lap. She covered him with the blanket and placed a part of one of her t-shirts she had ripped on the cut on his forehead. He didn't stir. Chloe was worried about Phillip. 'Why am I worried about him? He has brought me nothing but pain.' she thought.

Mimi was asleep and the others had been gone awhile. "Please let us get out of this." she said aloud. Phillip stirred and she placed her hand on his hair. She stroked his hair and said soothing words to him.

Meanwhile...

Belle and Shawn were walking down the road. It seemed to take forever, but they finally reached the town. They found the police station and ran inside.

They saw two men sitting at desks facing each other laughing. Luis was tipped back in his chair laughing at what Sam had been telling him.

All of a sudden he heard, "There's been a wreck you have to help us!" It startled him so much he almost fell over backwards in his chair. He and Sam jumped up and went over to the teenagers. Neither of them had ever seen them before.

Shawn: You have to help us. We had a wreck about five miles out of town and our friends are still there. One of them is hurt.

Sam and Luis got in there SUV police cars and Shawn and Belle showed them were it was.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Phillip was waking up and had a huge pain in his head, which happened to be surrounded by warmth and softness. Someone was talking to him and stroking his hair. He forced his eyes open and saw Chloe looking down at him. He immediately tried to get away from her, but she forced him back down.

Chloe: Don't be stupid. Your hurt, stay put.

Phillip: Were did everyone go?

Chloe: It's ok. Shawn and Belle went to get help and Mimi is asleep over there.

Phillip moved his head a little and saw a lump which assumed was Mimi.

He laid his head back down on Chloe and drifted off to sleep.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Luis and Sam pulled up to the tree with the scarf around it and saw one of the worst wrecks they had ever seen.

Chapter 2

 

***I may be adding things to Grace's house that don't exist***

Sam and Luis ran down the hill with Shawn and Belle close behind. When they got there, Sam climbed in and checked out the scene. He saw Phillip with the cut on his head. He looked up at Chloe. "Is your boyfriend alright?" Sam asked.

"Yeah he's fine. He woke up a little while ago and he knew what was going on. And he's not my boyfriend." Chloe told him.

Sam didn't hear the rest of what she said. He was already turning around to Luis and the others.

"Okay. Someone tell me what happened here," Sam demanded. Shawn told him about what happened, and where they were headed and where they were from.

"Salem? Isn't that were the company Titan is?"

Belle looked at Sam and said, "Yes, and the boy hurt is Victor Kiriakis's son."

Sam and Luis carried Phillip up the hill and into one of the cars. The rest of the group followed with their stuff.

Sam took them all to the hospital to make sure Phillip was all right. While Eve was checking out Phillip, who was now awake again, the others waited in the waiting room.

Shawn watched Chloe closely. He had seen the way she had taken care of Phillip and wondered what was going on. "So Chloe, I see that you kept your cool and helped someone who doesn't exactly like you."

Chloe glared at him, "Thanks. But I am human. I couldn't just let someone suffer, even if he is Phillip."

"Did I hear my name?" They all looked up and saw Phillip with a bandage on his head and a piece of paper in his hand. Belle rushed over to him, "How are you feeling?"

Eve spoke up, "He is going to be just fine. He has a mild concussion and will have a headache, but that's all. Someone is going to have to wake him at least once tonight, ok?"

They all nodded.

"We have to take you all back to the station to fill out a report." Luis told them.

Back at the station, Luis filed the report as accidental and had them all sign the necessary papers. He had the car towed and sent to the impound.

"Mr. Kiriakis, your car will be safe there and you can leave it there until you figure out what you want to do."

"Thank you Officer. Could I call my parents and tell them where we are and to come and get us?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Phillip picked up the phone and there was no dial tone. "Do you have to dial nine, or something?"

Luis frowned and took the phone from him, "No. I don't know what is the matter."

Just then a huge crash of thunder shook the station. They all looked out the window. In the hours they had been inside a storm had been brewing. After checking around, they discovered that all the phones were out and half of the power lines. Just then almost all the phones in the station started ringing. "Listen, we need to take you kids somewhere. We are getting non-stop calls and you all need your rest. Sam do you no where we can take them?"

"Yeah, we can take them to our house. Grace won't mind and it'll be better than a hotel."

Sam called Grace and told her to expect company. Grace got Kay, Jessica, and Charity to help her set up for their guests. They prepared the guest room and Charity moved into Kay and Jessica's room. "Sam told me that there are two boys and three girls. They were just in a car accident, so I'm sure they are exhausted."

Sam brought them over and Grace showed them their rooms. She brought out an air mattress to make a bed on the floor for one of the girls. Mimi made her bed on that and went right to sleep. Phillip laid down in his and Shawn's room and did the same. The rest of them went downstairs and Grace made them something to eat. Kay, Jessica, and Charity had already went to bed.

After they had eaten, Grace left them alone and went upstairs. They all sat on the couch and tried to relax. "I can't believe this is happening to us." Belle said.

Shawn looked over at her, "Look on the bright side, we all made it with only minor injuries. Sure Phillip's car is totaled, but we are alive."

Chloe spoke up for the first time in a while, "Speaking of Phillip, someone needs to wake him up. I guess I'll do it." Shawn and Belle nodded and Chloe headed upstairs.

She knocked softly on the door just in case he was up and walked in. He was sleeping peacefully, and Chloe hated to wake him up. She walked over to the bed and brushed his hair off his forehead. She sat on the bed and said his name softly, "Phillip. Phillip wake up." When he still didn't stir, she shook him gently. He groaned, "What? What's going on?"He turned over and saw Chloe sitting on the bed. She smiled, "Hey. I just needed to wake you up. The doctor said I should, remember?" Phillip did remember, "Yeah. How many more times do you have to do it?"

"I don't know? How do you feel?"

"My head hurts a little, but not as much as it did."

She got up and walked to the door. "Maybe just once more. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Chloe shut the door and went downstairs. Belle and Shawn were asleep on the couch. Belle's head was on Shawn's shoulder and his arm was wrapped around her. Chloe smiled and covered them with a blanket. She

went back up to the room she was staying in and tried to stay awake so she could help Phillip.

Then there was a knock on the door. She opened it and Phillip was standing there. "Phillip! What are you doing out of bed? Your going to hurt yourself."

"I wanted you to stay with me. Please?" Chloe sighed and then helped him back to his room. She got him back in bed and sat down in a chair. Phillip watched her for a while and then whispered, "Will you lay down next to me?"

Chloe's head shot up from the book she was reading and frowned, "Phillip I don't think that would be a good idea. You know what I mean?"

"Please Chloe. I need you." That was Chloe's undoing. She sighed, "Alright."

She climbed in the bed with him, but stayed above the covers. Phillip wrapped his arms around her and drifted off to sleep.
