Kathryn

"What?" Fangs says. I step into the bedroom to avoid hearing the conversation even more. I sat down on Fangs' bed and felt tears form. I grabbed onto the mattress and I looked at the ground. I found myself wiping my tears as they fell. I stood up and walked out the bedroom. I walked past Sweet Pea and out the door.

"Kathryn?" Sweet Pea calls out. I got on my motorcycle and drove off. I wasn't going to Greendale, I wasn't thinking where I was going. I made it onto a freeway when everything went black.

Sweet Pea

"Kathryn heard all of that," I say. "You never told me she was here."

"I was going to but you said, you wanted to forget her," Fangs says.

"I know what I said but you could've stopped me knowing she was here!" I yelled.

"Why do you care now! You said you wanted to forget her and now she's out of your way!" Fangs yells. "Just get out!"

"What do you mean get out?" I retaliated.

"I mean get the hell out because I lost my sister once and I know damn well I lost her again!" He screamed.

I stormed out the trailer and got on my bike. I drove out to Evergreen Park and parked near the bridge of Sweetwater River.

"Dammit!" I yelled, kicking over a trash can. I sat on a nearby bench and stared at the street. I watched as the car passed and noticed a couple of police cars along with an ambulance. Curious, I got up and got on my bike. I followed after the cars and ended up at a highway. There was already a crowd of people and an amount of traffic. I parked my bike and walked up to the caution tape.

It was a car accident, semi had hit a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was quickly taken away in the ambulance while the semi driver was being arrested.

"That poor girl..." A bystander says.

"Excuse me, what happened?" I ask.

"Oh, I was driving and there was a girl behind me on a motorcycle, then a semi on the other road was leaning into my lane. I avoided it but, the semi crashed into the girl. I parked my car as the semi crashed into the trees after hitting the girl," he says.

"Woah, is the girl okay?" I ask.

"The police said they thought she was dead when they found her, but she gasped for air asking for help," He says.

"Huh," I say. I looked over at the crash and noticed the crushed motorcycle. "Wait, I know that motorcycle."

I went under the caution tape and try to walk to the motorcycle. A police officer stops me before I could get there.

"Sir, you're not allowed back here," He says.

"That's my girlfriend's motorcycle!" I yelled. I pushed him out the way and walked over to the totaled motorcycle. I looked down at the bike and realized what I just said.

"Sir, your girlfriend is in critical condition," An officer says to me, interrupting my thoughts.

"Wait, what?" I say.

"I can give you a police escort to the hospital," He states.

"Can I bring this bike home to fix?" I ask.

"You can, sir, I'll talk to the tow truck company," He says.

After a while, I had the police officer and the tow truck follow me to my trailer. The bike was placed in front of my trailer with a cover over it. Then I followed the police to the hospital. Once we got there, the police escorted me to where she was. She was in surgery so I impatiently waited outside.

Awhile later, a surgeon comes out taking off his mask. "Excuse me, do you operate on Kathryn Fogarty?" I asked her.

"Yes, I did. She just had stitches and she broke parts of her ribcage and wrist," She says. "She's asleep right now, what's your relationship to the patient?"

"She's my girlfriend, she and I got into a fight so I went looking for her after she stormed out," I lied.

"She'll be moved to ICU soon, so you'll see her in a couple minutes," She says.

I thanked her and walked to the ICU waiting room. I sat down tapping my foot and looking around the waiting room. There was a speaker phone in the room and I stared at it as if it was to turn on.

I got up and walked over to the receptionist. "Is Kathryn Fogarty in a room yet?" I say, impatiently.

"Yes she is," She replies.

"What room is she?" I say.

"Sir, it's family only at the moment," She says, looking up from her paperwork.

"I'm her boyfriend, her parents and her brother have no idea she's in here. Please," I beg.

She sighs and looks at a list on her desk. "Room E5," She says.

I thank her and I walked down the hallway to find her room. I found the room eventually and I knocked to see if I could go in. A nurse opened up and smiled at me.

"You must be Sweet Pea," She says. "Kathryn talked about you the whole time she was getting hooked up to her IV's. She's sleeping right now but she'll be awake soon."

She lets me in and I saw Kathryn laying on the hospital bed. I pulled up a chair and sat next to her bed. I put my hand on hers and put my head down on the bed.

"Kathryn, I'm sorry for what I said," I mumble. "It was just the heat of the moment. I don't want to forget you Kat. I love you, please wake up."

I felt her hand move and so I looked up at her. She was still asleep but her monitor was beeping. I looked over at the machines and noticed something off. I pushed a red button, paging the nurse for help.

"Is something wrong?" A male nurse comes in.

I point at her heart rate and noticed how it was going up and it wasn't going down. The nurse shooed me away and I was standing by the door way. I watched as the nurse took over.
