Meg's parents had tried to find out about Ana, but nobody was talking, at least not until her parents had arrived.
So I waited. I eventually got sent up to a room with Zack because they wanted to keep us overnight, everyone kept coming up, Jim, Lilah and Meg. Brian didn't, he was somewhere else trying to find out about Bree.
Meg had been given a room but I don't think she'd stayed in it for more than 5 minutes. I think we were actually this hospitals worst nightmare.
So I layed around waiting. It was horrible, not knowing.
"What if she's dead and they haven't told us?" Lilah said.
Frankly she was pissing me off, just crying all the time.
"Yeah, fucking nice one Lilah." Zack said.
Thankgod Jim took her away, I might have said something I regretted.
Zack's parents arrived first so I knew mine weren't too far away.
So I waited and finally they'd arrived. My mom gushed all over me but all I wanted to do was find out about Ana.
"We'll go and find out what we can." So off they went again.
Which is how I ended up in this little room, with only chairs in it, with Ana's parents, Stacey and my mom.
I was surprised Ana's parents were willing to include me, but grateful that they had.
My head was pounding and I felt like I was going to vomit. I put my head on my knees.
"Are you ok honey?" Mom asked me.
"Hmmm." was all I could manage.
The door opened and I looked up as a Doctor walked in.
He introduced himself but don't ask me what his name was, I wasn't listening.
"So let me tell you where we're at." He stated matter of factly.
He looked at me "You should be resting young man."
I shrugged at him, not until I knew about Ana.
"Ok so Ana has suffered a head trauma, the extent of which we're not sure yet. Currently we are monitoring the pressure in her brain, but I will tell you that if it continues to rise she will need surgery to relieve that pressure." He stopped and looked at all of us.
"Now you can see her shortly but be aware that currently she is not breathing for herself nor is she responding to any stimuli."
What the fuck? What did any of this mean?
The Doctor looked at me "She is on a respirator, also tomorrow we're going to test her brain function."
I looked at him, dumbfounded.
"Oh god." her mom started crying "You think she's brain dead don't you?"
"Well we don't like to use that term and frankly at this stage it's just too early to tell." he looked at each and everyone of us. "Now a nurse will be in shortly to take you in."
And with that said, he got up and left.
I sat there stunned, what the fuck did any of this mean?
I looked at mom, she was crying silently.
I felt the urge to vomit come again. I stood up and I ran out of that room, away from what I didn't want to hear.
