Where We Want To Be. A LINSTEAD Story

Chapter 5

Jay's POV

The ambo arrives and it's Brett and Dawson and they load Erin up as fast as they can and say I can ride along if I want. It only takes 3 minutes to get to med. Through all of this I am still in shock not completely understanding what is happening till we get to med.

"Mid 20's female she was kidnapped and tortured. We have a missive head injury and massive laceration to the abdomen." Brett says as she wheels her in.

"Okay get her to trauma 2. Let's work fast people" will instructs.

"Will" I yell running through the doors.

"Jay what are you doing here?" Will says confused.

"Will that's Erin!" I yell again

"Oh my" He says turning back to where she is being rolled away.

"Please tell me she's going to make it. I can't loose her." I say as tears stinging my eyes.

"I don't know anything yet but I will do my best and let you know as soon as I figure something out" will says as he starts to walk away.

"Thanks bro" I say as he turns back around giving me a sympathetic smile.

*four hours later*

It's been four hours since we arrived and still have no news. I'm starting to get tired so I was about to go get some coffee when's see will coming.

"Will oh my god. Tell me she alright??" I stand up almost running over to him.

"Jay..." He starts before I cut him off.

"Oh no no no no no. It's all my fault I wasn't there for her. It's my fault she is dead." I say about to cry not listening to my brother at all.

"JAY!" He yells at me "If you would let me finish. You would hear that she is alive."

"Oh my god." I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding.

"But she did sustain massive injuries. She has a fractured leg and wrists from being tied up. Many broken ribs from the beating she sustained as well as a dislocated jaw. She had massive internal bleeding. She also lost a lot of blood because of the cut on her abdomen. It's a miracle she survived. People don't normally survive that amount of trauma. But she did suffer a blow to the head and we don't know how much she will remember. Her memory could have been compromised. We won't know till she wakes up." He says explaining the situation.

"Oh my. Can I see her??"

"Yes she is still unconscious now we don't know for how long but you can go see her." He says. 

"Thank you Will."

Will leads me to Erin's room. She is lying in the hospital bed with many tubes attached to her and the heart monitor beeping beside her. It breaks my heart to see her like this her face is covered with bruises I just can't imagine what the rest of her looks like.

"Yhanks again Will." I say as he walks away.

I walk into her room and and sit in the chair beside her bed. I want to hold her hand so she know I'm here but she just looks so fragile. But I do it anyways I need to make sure this is real I need to touch her to make sure this isn't a dream.

I grab her hand and squeeze it. Then I start.

"Erin I'm so sorry this is all my fault. I should have been there for you. I shouldn't have let him take you. I should have ran faster. Fought harder found you faster. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I have never told you this but Erin, I love you. You are the love of my life I would do anything to go back in time and have told you sooner. I'm sorry Erin I love you."
