Maria's POV

I kept shifting myself in the chair. Me Jai and Luke were all in the waiting room. Luke hasn't spoken a single word since he saw Beau, it was as if he was traumatised. Jai had dialled Shyler already and she was on her way to the hospital.

The doctors weren't giving us any new information and my mind was about to blow up. Jai was pacing back and forth in front of me. My eyes trailed him, worried.

I wanted to know what he was thinking. We didn't say anything much since the exchange if the 'I love you's'. I'm not really sure what I expected to happen. And I certainly do not know where it's going. Are we going to end up happily ever after, or will we crash and burn?

A doctor rushed out of the room where they were examining Beau.

"Do you have an update?" Jai asked him, hopeful.

"Yes, Beau has some major internal bleeding. His brain is damaged and most of his ribs, as well as an arm, leg, and collarbone is broken. He is no longer able to breath on his own so we have installed a plastic tube in his mouth, going into his throat to assist his breathing. We will have to take him into surgery as soon as possible, or else he will die within the next few hours." The doctor looked at Jai pitifully.

"GOD DAMMIT!" Luke yelled. Those were the first words he spoke since the sight if Beau and I have to say I wasn't surprised that he burst.

Luke apologised and started pacing.

"Are there any risks?" I ask.

"There are risks to every surgery. The main risk in this situation his heart failure, his chances of surviving the surgery is 50% but he will die for certain if he doesn't get the surgery."

"Our choice is obvious, please get him into the operating room as soon as possible." Jai said grimly. The doctor nodded and hurried away.

Jai and Luke both stopped their pacing and sat down. Jai put his hands to his face, his eyes glazing over as he states into space. It was my turn to pace.

I don't know what I would do to myself if Beau died. I honestly do not know.

--

Three hours later

Jai's eyes were bloodshot and I was slowly nodding off. Shyler had arrived two hours ago crying and threw herself into my arms. She was asleep next to me, her head leaning on my shoulder.

The same doctor who gave us the update came out of the operating room. I shake Shyler awake and all of us stare at him.

"Is he alive?" Jai is almost afraid to ask.

"Yes, but.." "But what?!" Shyler interrupts him, panicking. I shush her softly and she takes me hand and turns her attention to the doctor.

"He is alive, but I'm afraid he's in a coma." He says. I slump back in my chair. Rage suddenly flooded through me.

"WHY DIDNT YOU TRY HARDER?! YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HIM HE WOULDN'T BE IN A COMA IF YOU HAD TRIED HARDER ITS YOUR FAULT YOU BETTER FIX THIS!" I yelled and screamed. Jai rushed up to me pulling me back.

I was gasping and shaking. I couldn't breathe and I couldn't think and I couldn't function. I looked back at Shyler Jai and Luke. Shyler was sitting and quietly sobbing. Jai was holding me, but his eyes were red and shiny. His face was red and his hands were shaking. Luke was sitting and continuously shaking his head as if he was in denial.

"You may visit him if you like. His face is in a better shape and his wounds are cleaned, it will be easier to look at him." the doctor informed us.

I knew he was just trying to help, but I despised the doctors who gave me the news.

Everything was moving in slow motion.

Beau is in a coma.

It's.

My.

Fault.
