Hollywood Heights

Chapter 9

Max: Eddie, Loren is dead, there is no way she could have squeezed your hand. Come on lets get out of here you're exhausted, it's been a really long day.

Eddie: You think i'm lying, you think i imagined it.

Max: I think that you wanted it to happen and therefore imagined it. 

Eddie: Dad, she cant die, she cant its just not possible, Loren is much stronger than that. The Loren i know would never let a car come and run her over and kill like that.

Melissa: Eddie, you know that the accident wasn't her fault. It wasn't yours either.

Eddie: I tried to stop her i really tried.

Melissa: I know Eddie come on lets get going.

Eddie: I'm telling you i didn't imagine it. Doctor please can you run some tests make sure she's still alive.

Max: Eddie, she's dead, they already ran multiple tests there is not much more they can do

Eddie: But i felt her move, dad i'm sure of it please

Max: Eddie, its time to go come on.

Everyone is trying to get Eddie to leave Loren's side when the doctor comes over to Loren. He starts putting the  sheet back over her when he talks into his radio.

Doctor: Emergency in the morgue, emergency in the morgue.

thirty seconds later a dozen doctors and nurses come running in and everyone is really confused.

Doctor: Family out, now out!

Nora: Doctor can someone explain to me what is going on?

Doctor: Now out now

Nora: Should we go home?

Doctor: Go to the waiting room i'll come talk to you shortly out now.

One nurse comes over and ushers them all out of the room they are all really confused they are still standing outside of the morgue when a team of doctors are rushing Loren's body out of the morgue on a gurney. Eddie corners one of the doctors.

Eddie: She's alive isn't she, please tell me whats going on.

Doctor: I'm sorry sir, i cant tell you anything i have to go. You should go get some rest in the waiting room. We will come discuss the funeral details with you shortly.

Eddie: It's not true please.

Nora: Eddie, come on lets go upstairs.

Nora goes over and hugs Eddie, the four of them walk together to the waiting room where they are confused and impatient. Meanwhile the doctor had seen Loren move her finger and that's why he had called in for back up. They were now upstairs running every test possible to find out exactly what was going on with Loren, if she was alive or not and if she was what damage was done to her body physically during the accident. The tests were taking a really long time and Eddie was going crazy.

Eddie: Do you think it's possible that she is alive?

Melissa: Eddie, i don't think it's smart for you to get your hopes up. We saw what happened, we knew then it would be a miracle had she survived. Eddie, i know it hurts and i understand that your really hurting right now but i think you should start to let the idea that Loren will never come back sink in.

Eddie: How are you doing it? Loren was your best friend how are you staying so strong? I'm falling apart here.

Melissa: Well someone here has to remain strong and composed
