Colby's POV
I sat and watched Cassidy in the hospital bed. She looked so fragile. Like a porcelain doll, ready to break.
She had been attached to needles and tubes for days.
She hadn't woken up, nor even moved. Life support was the only thing keeping her alive, her body had just given up.
It was heartbreaking.
In the hospital room sat Me, Crystal and Sam.
Her sister and parents had visited before but Rosey is at her hotel and her parents had to go back to Kansas.
A doctor walked in with a serious look on his face.
"There's good news and bad news" he states blankly
"What's the good news?" I say clearing my throat, as her hospital had been so silent, and no one had talked for days.
"We have found signs of major movement in her brain, meaning her body is trying to heal"
"Ok. And the bad news" Sam says from behind me.
"We have found traces of led in her stab wounds. Meaning who ever tried to hurt her, had the intention to do so, and put led on the blade to insure she would have a hard time surviving"
"What?!" Crystal loudly interrupts
"Well why can't you just operate on her? Get them out"
"Unfortunately, we already discussed this theory. And... she has already lost so much blood from the stabbing itself, that if we were to perform an operation, she would die from too much blood loss. We have to wait until her brain waves pick up full speed and start healing so that we may perform operation with out such a high risk of dying"
"Ok. And how long do you think it will take to heal itself enough?" I ask curiously
"That's the thing, it might never. We've tracked movement, but that might be the movement of her body getting ready to shut down"
"Oh god..." Crystal says as she puts her head in her hands
"But I thought it was a stab wound to her stomach. How comes it's affecting her brain so much?"
"Because when she was stabbed, she bleed out a lot. And that sent her body into full fledge shock. Therefore, her brain panicked and has officially gone in airplane mode. Meaning her brain hasn't shut down, cause she would be dead, but it isn't functioning well"
"So what does this mean?" I ask
"We are calling her parents back up here tonight, and we will make a decision from there on whether to shut her life support off, or leave her for a while"
"What!?!" I yell
"I'm sorry, I truly am. But honestly, it's not up to her friends, it's up to her parents. And even if you want to keep her, if they want to let her go, that's what happens"
He gives us a regretful look, then walks out of the room.
I'm gonna find the motherfucker that did this...
And slit his fucking throat
