Damien's POV

I finished on the phone with Scott and was just about to hang up when I heard Scott still talking, I lifted the phone to my ear and heard Scott say

"Thanks for being there for her when I wasn't" and then the line went dead. Guilt dripped from his voice. I felt sorry for him, I knew he saw Sophia as a sister and that it was his job to look out for her. It was probably tearing him up inside.

I was pulled from my thoughts about Scott when the waiting room door opened and i jumped up out of my seat. It was the male nurse who had brought me here.

"Any news on Sophia ?" my voice quavered and my eyes pleaded.

He nodded, walking over to stand beside me. "You might want to sit down" he warned me. I plopped down into a seat and he sat down next to me.

"Please tell me, this suspense is killing me" I begged, looking at my feet.

"I'm not supposed to give out patient information to non family members but I can tell that you really care for Sophia so I'm going to tell you" he explained putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you , thank you so much" I said to him.

"You might not be thanking me when I tell you what I have to tell you, he said mock joking mock serious. There really is no easy way to say this, he said his voice becoming sombre, Sophia's in a coma, we aren't sure why yet we still have numerous tests to complete. She's on a ventilator to help her breath. When the paramedics brought her in her heart was beating abnormally and when we tried to stabilise her, her heart flat lined meaning it stopped. We had to resuscitate her. She's stabile now but in intensive care, I'm really sorry".

My brain tried to comprehend his words, "will she be ok? Will she come out of the coma?" I managed to ask, looking up at him with tears glistening in my eyes.

"We're not sure at the moment how serious it is. The important thing for the moment is that she's stablished" he explained to me.

She had to be ok she just had to, "Can I go see her ? Please ?" I asked my voice wobbling, tears dripping from my eye lashes.

He sighed, " I can ask for you but I'm afraid the chances are slim, she is still extremely vunerable, we are not even close to being out of the woods just yet" he concluded, standing up.

I nodded, "I understand, I'll wait here and if I'm allowed to see her will you come and get me ?" I asked, wiping the tears off my face.

"I will come and get you" he promised before walking out the door.

As the door closed I let my head drop into my hands and my feelings turned from feelings of pain and sadness to feelings of anger and rage. Why did it have to be Sophia? Why did it have to be the girl I was falling in love with? Why? Why ? Why ? Why ? I thought as I stood up angrily, my hands balled into fists as I kicked one of the chairs in the empty waiting room as tears of anger and sadness cascaded down my cheeks.
