I sat sobbing uncontrollably in Zacs arms. They were in the hospital, sitting right outside Taylors room. Taylor was now hooked up to life support, which was as sad a sight as seeing him in that tub full of blood. Luckily though, his heart was beating, he was very much alive. But he had slipped into a coma. "What would have happened if we hadn't burst in, Zac?" "Why did this have to happen to him?" "Why....."I sobbed, a million questions running through my mind. They came and went so quickly I didn't even have time to ask one before a new one surfaced. Mr and Mrs Hanson burst in. Zac had called them upon our arrival to the hospital. "Is he alright?" Mrs Hanson asked, her face wet with tears. "Hes...hes in a coma." I sobbed, as Zac sobbed into my hair, his own emotions taking over. Mr and Mrs Hanson knelt down, wrapping their arms around us. All four of us sobbed quietly, Mrs Hanson broke the silence "Isaac is back at the hotel, watching the kids." Diana said. I didn't know why she said this. Maybe it was as an excuse for Isaac, so we knew. Maybe it was just as something to say, to distract our sorrow. I shrugged it off, I was doing too much thinking. 'Please God, let Taylor be ok.' I prayed desperately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally getting fed up with the tension in the room Zac decided that it would be a good idea if the two of us went out for a walk. Diana and Walker agreed that it was a good idea, but felt too paralyzed with worry to even suggest coming with us. We understood, and I was quite glad to have time alone with him. Even with the happenings of the past day, I was still curious about our feelings for each other, and what was going on in OUR little world. When we reached the middle of the almost empty parking lot, Zac turned to face me. He rested his hands on my waist, and pulled my forehead towards him. he kissed it and we both just stood there. Nothing was said, and we didn't move. We stood holding each other, hoping this moment would never end. As long as we stood here in this parking lot, nothing had to change. Taylor didn't have to suffer, we didn't have to be apart, and life didn't have to go on. "Adrian" Zac breathed on my neck. "Yes?" I asked quietly. "I know...."
He sighed.
"I know this isn't a good time to ask. I mean, maybe it is....But the timing isn't perfect..."
"what is it Zac?" I asked, concerned. It hadn't even occured to me what his question may be.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. I didn't even have to think about it, but still I paused. I was very glad to know my answer, otherwise today could have been an even harder day than it had already turned out to be. I looked back on the last little while, and dispite Taylor's condition, I smiled. I knew everything would be ok. Everything would even out. "YES!" I smiled at him, and pulled him back into the hospital.
When we entered, we noticed a doctor standing with Diana and Walker. "Taylors ok!!" I said, excitedly, not even thinking about it. "Yes he is" The doctor said, giving me an odd look. I stopped smiling, realizing that look had a point.
"But" he continued "We'd like to keep Taylor in over night, just so he can rest, and be attended to. God only knows what trauma this boy has been through, not caused by you of course. But we have to understand the trials and tibulations of a teenage boy. I wouldn't want to be in his place, doing what he does." the doctor said, and with that left the room. I think I'll always remember that moment. What the doctor said really made my brain work. It made me think about how hard it must be for Taylor, Zac and Isaac. Sure, I've seen first hand some of the difficulties they've had. But being a public figure must be tough. So much tougher than I'll ever know.
