How it ended

Chapter 16

Sapphire's POV-

We were at lunch and Taylor hasn't shown up at all. I was very worried. Chase saw my worried expression and put an arm around. Butterflies erupted in my stomach. "It's gonna be okay. She probably ate something bad and went home," Chase tries to comfort me. I gave him a sad smile.

Next thing you know, the cafeteria doors are burst open. The cafeteria immediately gets quiet. It's so quiet, you can hear a pin drop. We all turned around to see Annaliah and Tony. Annaliah's face was covered in dry tears and her eyes were bloodshot red. Same goes for Tony.

Have they been crying? Tony looks around and spots me. He walks over to us. "Get up were going," he tells us. We gave a confused look but got up. I walked over to Annaliah.

I put an arm around her and comforted her. "Are you okay?" I ask. She shakes her head. I rubbed her back. We all got inside Tony's car. He drove to an unknown destination. My phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" I say into the phone.

"Is this Sapphire Swan?" said a lady.

"This her speaking. May I know who and why your calling?" I ask.

"Ah yes. My name is Kayla. This is about Taylor Swan, your sister. She was involved in a car crash not too long ago. Possibly, 4 hours ago. I would like to tell you that she's in the hospital and is not doing very well. The car crash was very... what's the word? Severe. I'm sorry for your sister. Please come to California Hospital please. Thank you. Goodbye," she says, then hangs up.

I didn't know I was crying till a sob escaped my lips. Chase who was next to me, pulled me onto his lap. I sobbed into his chest. The car stopped and I slowly looked up. We were at the hospital. "Dude why are we at the hospital?" Lucas ask.

"Taylor's in there," Tony says, barely above a whisper. We all got out and went in. We walked to the front desk. "Hi, were here to see Taylor Swan. Is she out of surgery?" Tony asks. The lady looks up.

"Taylor Swan?" she asks, typing into a computer. Tony nods. "She's still in surgery and is not doing very well. Apparently the car hit where she was sitting and she flew out of the vehicle and lost so many blood. Were not sure she will make it," she says, sympathetically. I land on the floor and broke down completely.

My twin sister might die. "She will be in room B-21. Which is on the third floor. I'm so sorry," she says. Samantha and Francesca helps me up. They said soothing words while rubbing my back. What did Taylor do to receive this. Especially on Thanksgiving. We got inside the elevator and pressed floor #3.

We sat at the waiting area. I sat next to Lucas. I feel bad for Lucas. His lover, best friend, girlfriend, his side kick even, is dying. Lucas wrapped his arms around me and sobbed on my shoulder. I sobbed into his. After all the sobbing, I fell asleep on Tony's lap.

Lucas's POV-
I stared down at my shoes just waiting for Taylor to get out of surgery. It's been 6 hours. 6 goddamn hours! What's taking them so long? I heard the clacking of heels and loud footsteps. I looked up to see Taylor's mom and step-dad, also Isaac. The sick bastard who left his children.

"What are you doing here?" Tony spat out at Issac. Tony stroked his sister's hair and Annaliah's, who was asleep too, on his shoulder. "I'm here to see how my daughter's doing," Isaac replies worry lacing his words.

"Taylor doesn't want to see you. And who said she was your daughter. She's Erik's own right dad?" Tony said, turning to Erik, there dad. Erik nods. "I just want to know if she will be okay. I'll leave once I see her," Isaac says.

"Fine. She's not doing very well. Doctor's say she might not make it," Tony says, his voice breaking. His mother sobs into Erik's chest. Erik rubs her back and whispers in her ear. I look at Isaac. He was looking at Taylor's mother lovingly. You have a son and daughters, also a wife!

Soon, I saw a doctor. I stood up immediately. "Taylor Swan?" Almost all of us stood up except Sapphire and Tony.

"Family?" He asks. "I'm the brother, she's the twin sister," Tony says, pointing to Sapphire. The doctor nods. "Boyfriend and best friend for 10 years," I say. "Biological father," Isaac says. "Step-dad but I practically raised her," Erik says. "Mother," Jessica says.

°I don't remember putting a name for Taylor's mom so I went with Jessica. If there is, comment it down°

"Okay. So Taylor made it," he said. We all sighed in relief. "She has broken 2 ribs, bruised almost all of her ribs, a broken arm and wrist, a sprained ankle and a broken leg, a concussion, and bruises. Last but not least, she fell into a coma during surgery," he says.

Francesca and Samantha sat down and cried into their hands. "We are not sure when she will wake up. It can be hours, days, weeks, months even years. Were not sure. You can go and see her right now, but be careful please. Thank you," he says before walking away.

We all went inside and gasped at Taylor's state. She looked horrible. To my eyes, she still looked beautiful. She has that thing in her mouth that helps you breathe, wires sticking into her and a heart monitor. It was at a slower pace than normal. I kneeled next to Taylor. I grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it.

"God Taylor," I mumble looking down. I stroke her hair. It breaks my heart. I should've made her ride with me to school. If it wasn't for me, this wouldn't of happened. I cried. I wiped my tears and got up. I sat down on the couch that was hear. "It's my fault she's here," I cry.

They all look at me. "If I made her ride to school with me, this wouldn't of happened. She would be at school, we'll be enjoying Thanksgiving. But she was so stubborn and said she could ride to school herself. I made sure she was okay with it. I feel so guilty and stupid! I just want her awake. I just want to hold her in my arms and tell her 'I love you' tell her I'll never let go. But I can't do that because she's here in a hospital bed because of me," I sob out.

Jessica sits next to me and rubs my back. "It's not your fault Lucas. What's done is done. You couldn't have done anything even if you wanted to. You know Taylor is a stubborn, strong girl. She loves you. I know that. She would've done this anyway. She's had a rough high school year. Vanessa died, her sperm donor came back, and she got hit with a football. She's a strong girl. She can wake up when she wants too. Be strong," she comforts me. I smile thankfully at her.

"I'm not a sperm donor," Isaac mutters. "Yes you are," we all say in unison. He rolls his eyes. "There she's here and alive. Now leave," Tony says. Isaac looks at Taylor and then Sapphire then Tony. He smiles then leaves.

"To lighten up the mood, I'm proud to announce i'm having a baby," Annaliah announces. Jessica squeals and Erik pats Tony's back. They talk about baby stuff while the group and I talk about random stuff.

Taylor's POV- (Sorry for all the switches of POV)
I can see them but they can't see me. I feel like the girl from If I stay. I stare at them as the group plays with cards, my parents, brother and soon to be sister-in-law were talking about the baby. I smiled. I overheard that i'm in a coma. Why out of all these days? A coma!

I hate it. I just want to go home and eat turkey. I sat down next to Lucas. I put a hand on his shoulder. I think he felt it cause he tensed up slightly. I watched as they played cards and laughed. "Boom! I win goldfish suckers!" Samantha cheers. They all laugh and I laugh with them.

My laugh echos. I cannot wait to wake up. This feels like a bad dream. A really bad one. I remember the days with Vanessa like it was yesterday. I feel like a ghost. All I know was that my soul escaped my body. Creepy right. I watched them play and laugh. I smiled. I love these people.
