So this is the 2nd chapter of my story. I hope everyone enjoys. :)
I watched her walk away, and I believed her when she said that was the last time she was walking away, I knew I would never see her again, and I cried. I know its not manly but it didn't matter, my whole reason for living had just walked away from me forever and took with her my heart. I heard her car start and climbed in bed to try and sleep all this away, I was hoping that when I awoke this would be proven to be just a bad dream.
As sleep took over I thought of what she had said, "We don't smile when we see each other, the light in your eyes has gone out, and it hurts to much to stay," and the tears ran down her face, "I'm soo sorry babe, I just can't do it." She started to step forward and lean into me and then she just back away and turned to leave, no goodbye hug she just left. I'd never seen her brown eyes so dark, they were full of pain and yet empty of all feeling, I watched her leave and she moved as though she didn't feel anything, nothing she was numb. I wish that I was numb, I wish I didn't have to feel this pain. I let sleep consume me and drifted into a nightmare where everything was wrong, where everything I touched faded away as I touched it.
The loud ring of my phone woke me suddenly, the caller ID said it was Mr. Andrews. Great her dad was calling to see what had happened, might as well answer and talk to him. "Hello."
"Kent, Lyn was in a wreck on her way home, we at the hospital, shes in surgery, she would want you here, you should come up here" his voice was full of pain, and fear. I already full of pain became scared for her, and forgot all of what had happened today grab my keys and ran out the door.
"I'm on my way" was all I could say before hanging up the phone. I jumped in my car and hit the gas. I was to the hospital in five minutes, I ran inside and found her family, her mom was sitting there with her head in her hands and I could hear her sobs from across the room, her father had is arm around her stroking her back. Her younger sister sat on the floor at her mother's feet, head in her mother's lap. Mr. Andrews looked up when I walked in and I could see his eyes were gray as a stormy sea, he was worried and more than that he was grieving. Did this mean she wasn't going to make it, how bad was she that her family would all be acting like this was the end. I walked over and all I could manage was "how is she?"
"Shes in surgery, other than that we don't know. She's been surgery for about two hours now the doctor will be here to tell us everything when shes out" said her sister. Who looked as though nothing had sunk in yet, her makeup was still intact, none of it running down her face, her eyes though showed that she was scared. We all sat there in silence, more of Lyn's family showed up, her grandparents came in and they sat with us, no one talked. We didn't even look at each other we all just stared, all of us lost to the pain and the fear of what was to come.
A man in fresh blue scrubs and a stark white doctors coat glided in, he was about six foot and 4 inches tall, he was pale and had dark brown hair. His eyes told us what we already suspected hes eyes were full of sadness. Mrs. Andrews burst into a new round of sobs but no one noticed we were all waiting for the doctor to tell us what had happened. "Hi, I'm doctor Hayes, I've been and will continue to take care of Lyndal. She is in ICU for now, she had some brain swelling, three of her ribs were broken one punctured her lung, which we were able to fix in the surgery. Her left leg was broken in 3 places the bones have been set and her leg cast." his voice was like velvet ice, he said all this as though he'd seen it before and it was nothing, he was completely unattached. "We have induced a coma so she wont feel any of the pain, and she can heal. You will be able to see her, though I am warning you she looks pretty bad. She has many minor cuts and bruises from the accident. You can go in two at a time, she's in room 421, also try not to let her hear sadness in your voice you need to sound happy, she can hear you, and if you go in there sounding like hope is lost she will not heal." with that he left the room.
