"How come he's never mentioned you?" I asked playing with the fabric of my shirt and chewing my bottom lip.
"Dunno, we had a fight a while back and I guess he's still holding onto it" Tina says digging her nails into her skin.
"He's gonna be okay" Aisha jumps in and smiles weakly at us. It's like the gods heard her and the Doctor came out of the room sending us all on our feet.
"Tina Mathur?" The doctor says scanning all of us. My parents had gone to get something to drink while we waited for any news on Aman.
"Haan" Tina said cracking her knuckles.
"He is in very critical condition... there must've been more than a car crash. His injuries are severe, and there seems to be a... wound... in his shoulder." The doctor explained.
"What do you mean by wound..." Tina said with tears forming in her eyes.
"It seems that he must've taken... some kind of bullet." The doctor sighed. The color in Tina's face drained as she slowly sat down trying to comprehend what was happening. Aisha had tears streaming down her face as she mumbled curses to herself. I found myself tearing up and my knees weakening at the thought of Aman being shot... even worse he's in critical condition.
"When can we see him?" Aisha asked in an unsteady voice. She was grabbing onto the wall to keep to her up as the doctor cleared his throat.
"You may see him now, but do keep in mind his condition. He's in very critical condition." The doctor said and moving slightly away from the door. Tina slowly stood up and headed for the door to Aman's room. Just as she opened the door my parents came around the corner. The doctor went around to explain what happened as Aisha, Tina, and I all slowly made our way into the room. When I saw the sight in front of me I felt my legs totally give out as tears streamed down my face and I made contact with the cold hard floor. There he was. Hooked up to millions of machines, an IV in his arm and hand, a bandage wrapped around his head, scrapes and cuts along the side of his face, his foot in a cast, a breathing tube and mask over his mouth, and wrapping around his shoulder with blood seeping through. Aisha slowly gripped for a seat as she sat down mumbling things to herself. Tina walked to his hospital bed and fell to her knees crying next to him. The familiarity of this made me think of Gracie, when we saw her dead body. I felt my sobs getting louder and louder as I thought of only the worst. I may not even get the chance to tell him I love him. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and I opened my eyes to see my mother standing there with fresh tears forming in her eyes. She helped me up from the ground and I wrapped my arms around her while trying to block out the world around us. The horror around us. I saw my dad from the corner of my blurry vision going to the bed and sighing while placing his hand on Aman's arm. Tina was sobbing loud and hard when I heard Aisha scream something and storm out of the room. Something deep inside was telling me to follow her but something was keeping me here in my mothers safe arms. As I pulled away from my mom to get closer to Aman we heard commotion coming from the down the hallway. I walked to the door and saw some nurses and doctors running up the hallway. Aman's doctor was following along when I grabbed his arm.
"What happened?" I said wiping away one of my tears.
"Another crash, a student from the college." He said pulling out of my grip and running towards the nurses. I felt the color draining from my face as a sudden impulse inside pulled me towards the panicked nurses. I turned the corner and saw Aisha standing there with her eyes glued to something. I stood next to her and placed my hand on her shoulder.
"Aisha?" I said looking in the direction she was looking. She slowly lifted her finger and pointed to the nurses waiting impatiently at the elevator. The elevator pinged open and a bunch of paramedics came bursting out with someone on a gurney. The nurses rushed to help and started heading towards us. A familiar face appeared in the sea of nurses and paramedics. She had cuts on her face and her hair was awry, she was moving with the paramedics as they moved the gurney. Then the gurney came into Aisha and I's view. I felt my heart stop when I saw who was laying there on the gurney.
"Patients name?" One of the nurses said panicked.
"Gene Hesel" Aisha whispered.
"Gene Hesel!" Another Doctor yelled. They kept moving and the familiar face stopped moving and dropped to her knees unable to contain her cries. I finally recognized who it was and felt everything in my world crashing down all at once.

Why was this happening?

It was Courtney. Gene got into a crash. Courtney was with him. She must've been, she looks banged up. Courtney in a car crash, Gene in a car crash, Aman in a car crash... What's happening...
