Taylor ran to the desk demanding the location of Karlie but her parents told her that there running examines since she wasn't responding. That's all they knew. Tracy and Taylor were crying. The Taylor was huddled with all the girls in a big hug.

"Kloss?" "Yes?!" Tracy frantically spoke. "Your daughters in a coma. The doctor will give you the results of it." Taylor turned as white as printing paper about to pass out but the girls caught her. When they entered they saw many tubes and bandaged up Karlie. "Mr., Mrs. Kloss your daughter as you've been told in a coma. On the screen here we see the M.R.I showing inflammation in the head itself but mostly on the right. The x-rays shows a fracture on the crown and stitches for the opening. I'm no sport expert but seeing some games the ball can reach significant speed. If the pitcher throws at 93 mph and the bat hits it the speed picks up and when thrown for distance will have less but still powerful speed. What I'm saying is that she might've gotten hit by the ball at 60 mph.

"W-when will she wake up?" Taylor croaked. "Thats undetermined its all up to her. Could take a couple hours, a day, days, month, months, year or years. Its all up yo her body. But its good if you talk to her. But the symptoms if she wakes up will be confusion and possible a bit of memory loss." The blue eyes girl stopped listening from month and everything went muffled she just wanted her Karlie okay. "Now if you excuse I must check on other patients but a nurse will come in every now and then." With that he left. Taylor made her way to the side of the bed holding her hand. Tears started to form again and started to talk, "hey baby im here so is mom and dad. Your gonna be okay and I know because your a fighter I've seen it. Just please wake up." Her voiced cracked at the end and placed her head gently on her chest. "Tracy why don't you and Kurt head home. I already notified my parents about the situation but I wanna stay here with Karlie." "You sure sweetie?" "Yes I'll take care of her for you." They said they're good nights and kisses to Karlie and left.

"I'll be right back Karlie. Guys wanna come and see her." "Oh shit." "Doc said she has a fractured crown reason she's a bandage head right now and inflammation in the head." "I swear that bitch will have her face rearranged that no person or baby will like her." Cara told Karlie. Lily was the last one to go. "Karlie you gotta wake up. I know your a fighter and you need to prove that snake wrong, your family, team thats all here around you right now and your little Taylor is here terrified and wants you to wake. We love you Karlie, always got your back."

The girls left only leaving Taylor and Karlie alone and Taylor was going through every date, games and memories they shared hoping that the girl would wake up. Instead of waking up Taylor fell asleep next to her in the chair her head on the bed and holding her hand.

2 am.

The door opened and in came a nurse waking Taylor. "Im so sorry I just came in to check on Ms. Kloss's vitals. Do you want me to roll in a bed for you?" "Yes please if you don't mind." "Don't worry let me move the equipment a bit over and Ms. Kloss and I'll put you right next to her." "Thank you. Oh Karlie please wake up.....I need you." The nurse set everything up and Taylor cries herself to sleep.

Morning came and nothing changed. Hoping what was a nightmare was reality. Tracy and Andrea came in to say hello to the girls and Taylor a pair of cloths and food. She declined the food but hopped in the shower wanting to see if she could wash away the pain and heartache. Once she finished the same routine happened her just sitting and wait. "She'll be okay sweetie." Andrea told Taylor but received no response. "I know my Karlie. She'll wake up but right now I must be strong and so do you Taylor. My girls will stop by later." She received a nod and the women left leaving them be.

*knock knock. No answer. "Hello." "Taylor?" The twins and Kristen made their way in taking in the view. There poor sister looking defeated and Taylor not even noticing their presence. "Taylor?" The blonde jumped breaking her trance and said hello to the girl and filling them in on what happened and their sister's state. All three sister's showed pain and anger for the girl who did this but decided that it was not the time for anger so they each kissed their sister's cheek and said they love her. "She'll be okay Tay we know it. We feel your pain but we have to have that hope and positivity. Okay? Take care of her for us." And the sisters hugged the girl tight.

It was a calm evening, everything was calm but the heart monitor started beeping faster and Taylor felt Karlie move. For a moment she thought she was waking up but she wish she didn't witness the sight in front of her. Karlie was twitching and spasming non stop. She pressed the button frantically and in watching doctors and nurses come in telling her that Karlie would sometimes have seizures but she would be okay. They gave her a sedative and everything went back to normal. Taylor was in the hallway waiting for the okay once given she couldn't shake that image away. She now watched Karlie the way she was feeling helpless waiting for the next day to arrive hoping tomorrow would be the day.

Tossing and turning nothing helped Taylor get comfortable so she laid on her side watching her beautiful girl laying next to her looking dead. Her eyes became heavy with sleep out cold she went.

Another sunny day but cloudy for Taylor waiting on her sunshine to wake. Taylor picked up the bag her mom made her and eat and apple and some water. When she got up to look around the room for a change she noticed a door and decided to open it. Inside she found Karlie's uniform, picked up her jersey and cried louded it echoed off the walls she collapsed on the floor feeling her heartbreak even more remember how it all happened. The moment replayed over and over, she got up and went over to the bed and sat down in the chair. Then something came to her mind the song she played for Karlie. With a shakey voice she started but breaking at 'but this gonna take me down' but pulled thru. Almost finished with the song Karlie twitched and started coughing her eyes now open. "Karlie! Nurse!!!" Taylor ran out calling. In came the doctor and nurse unhooking the tube that was helping Karlie breath and it was now only her, Karlie and the doctor. "Hello do you know your name?" The girl blinked a while and stutter in a whisper, "K-karlie." "Good." "Why does my head hurt and have a wrap. Why am I in the hospital! Where's my mo- who's she?" That was a bullet to Taylor's heart she felt lifeless. "She's your girlfriend. Taylor." "She's not my girlfriend, its Toni. Where is she?" That killed Taylor and she lost it punching the wall crying afraid that this would happen. "Come here Taylor. Its okay it the memory loss but if you help her with it she'll maybe go back to normal. And by the look of your knuckles you need a cast. Ms. Kloss you just woke up from a coma, have inflammation in the head and a fractured crown reason why you have your head wrapped. Taylor, your girlfriend, here will be with you taking care of you." "Whatever." "Okay give me a moment and will fix you up." Awkward and silence filled the room only to be broken by Karlie. "Who exactly are you?" "I-im Taylor your girlfriend. Toni was the one who caused this." "Yeah right, hey why are you wearing my jersey? I gave Toni that honor." "Karlie I.....you really don't have a clue of who I am?" "Im sorry I don't Taylor. Maybe you can jog my memory with something?" Taylor went over every memory but nothing even when the doctor put her cast on and started crying for the pain. "Nothing has came to my mind. Sorry....sorry about your knuckles I caused that. For you to really do that I must be really something to you. Like the color of your cast though. Red. It makes your ice blue eyes pop." "Thanks." Even though a small smile appeared she knew Karlie only said it out of kindness. "Hey where's my mom? Do you know her?" "Yeah..hang on. Tracy, Karlie's awake.?" "Wow Tracy you called her by her name. You must be special." "I am." She whispered "What?" "Nothing...nothing."

"My baby!!! How are you?!!!" Cried Tracy. "Mom shhh my head not to loud." "Oh im sorry. Are you glad to see Taylor?" She smile. "I don't-" "She doesn't know who I am...." Taylor addressed. "Oh dear. Karlie she's your girlfriend. The sweetest and kindest most gentle person." "She ain't Toni is but she's nice and I accidentally caused that to her hand." "No she didn't I just lost my mind....yeah...excuse me." She went to the bathroom and washed her face. "Oh Karlie. Taylor is your girlfriend. Toni cheated on you and met Taylor this year. Please try and remember look at her. She was sad and now she's gone, lost herself." "Thats not Toni she loves me, tell her to come." "Im sorry Karlie but you forgive me in the memory loss state you are, hate her with a passion. Please try and remember." "Whatever. Yeah I'll try." "Thank you. Taylor I know your listening. Come here." She exited the bathroom and into Tracy's arms. "Don't worry okay just give her sometime. Okay girls I'll let you go and notify your sister's." "Oh yeah hey I have sister's the twins and Kristen, right?" "Yes. Goodbye girls."

Nighttime came and Taylor felt like dying. Karlie laid on her back Taylor watching her. "I feel you staring. I'm sorry I can't remember you and making you feel like shit. I hope I remember soon." Karlie said with closed eyes. "You have a beautiful voice by the way I heard it." "Thanks goodnight Karlie. I love- yeah goodnight." "Night."

Taylor was thinking of ways to jog her memory and decided to call her mom once it was morning to bring pictures and guitar. All she wanted was to be remembered and things go back to normal.
