Chapter 6

"I still can't believe it...you ran her over; you hit her with a car; you could have PERALIZED her!" Vicki shouted at Erin, although, she was supposed to be quiet.
"Don't yell at me! Don't talk to me! Don't look at me!" said Erin.
Vicki stares at her.
"You didn't say don't STARE at you!" said Vicki, staring more.
"Don't STARE at me either!" said Erin.
"No...you should've said it BEFORE I started to stare!"
Then, the doctor walks in, his head looking at his shoes.
"So?" Kevin said.
"Well, we have some news...but-" said the doctor.
"Well, what KIND of news?" Kevin interrupted.
"As I was saying, we have some news, but, it is not good." said the doctor.
"Great...you could've just said 'I have some bad news everybody,' instead of saying all of that other stuff," said AJ.
"Don't get sassy with me," said the doctor.
Kevin's eyes crink up.
"Don't you TELL ME WHAT TO AND NOT TO DO!" said Vicki. "THIS IS AMERICA, AND I CAN DO WHAT I DARN WELL PLEASE!"
"Vicki, you need to write a book," said Jennifer, holding Nick's hand.
"I think I should," said Vicki. "I think it should be a romance too!"
AJ's eyes get huge by the thought of Vicki, writing a romance novel.
"Maybe, MAYBE, Action." said AJ.
"What is the news?" Nick asked, getting back on the subject of Alexis.
"She has a slim chance of living," said the doctor.
"What? What! Now you're telling me that she has a slim chance of living? First you tell me not to get sassy with you, so, since I am trying very hard NOT TO GET SASSY, you tell me that my best friend has a slim chance of living? THIS IS AMERICA AND THIS I WILL NOT LISTEN TO!" said Vicki.
"Definately action," said AJ.
"Like, how slim of a chance?" Jessica asked.
"Approximately 25% chance." said the doctor.
"25%? WHAT THE HECK? I MEAN, COME ON! YOU HAVE TO GET A BETTER ESTIMATE THAN THAT! THAT IS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF BULL I HAVE EVER HEARD!" screamed Vicki.
"Now, calm down, don't get the others all worked up." said the doctor.
"HERE YOU GO AGAIN, TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, AND WHAT NOT TO DO! STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO! THIS IS NOT MY FAULT! IT IS ALL HER FAULT!" screamed Vicki, pointing at Erin.
"I didn't do it on purpose!" said Erin.
"I don't care if you did or not!" said Vicki, "You still did!"
"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!" Erin yelled.
"No, not to me personally, instead, you did to Alexis!" Jessica yelled at what she thought was her best friend.
"Just, leave me alone, everybody just leave me along. Come on AJ, let's go." said Erin.
"I don't think so!" said AJ. "I am not going with you!"
"AJ! Why not?" Erin asked.
"Because, I don't want to be present when you decide not to pay attention to the road again," said AJ.
The doctor walks back in.
"So? What's the news?" Erin asked.
"As if you CARE!" said Jessica.
"Just stop...I want to know what the story is!" said Brian.
"I'm sorry..." said the doctor.
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" Kevin asked.
"She just had such a slim chance..." the doctor said.
Vicki's back straightened. She didn't want to hear this, she didn't.
"What? What are you saying? Are you saying her chances are even more slim now?" Vicki asked. "Is that it?"
"What I am saying is...that her chance is gone, so is her life." the doctor answered.
Vicki put her hands over her eyes. She had known Alexis since she was 5, but, now, she was gone...she was young and gone.
"It's OK Vicki," Erin said, patting her on the back.
Vicki took her hands off of her face, and clinched a fist, and hit Erin square in the eye. Erin fell flat to the ground.
"DON'T YOU TELL ME IT'LL BE OK! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND! YOU KILLED HER!" Vicki couldn't help the rage, it was bubbled up for so long, she had to do it.
"I didn't do it on purpose!" Erin pleaded.
"You should've watched where you were going!" AJ chimed in. Now AJ was in on the stuff Vicki was doing. "IF you would've been watching where you were going, THIS WOULD NEVER'VE HAPPENED!" AJ yelled.
"AJ, I thought you were my boyfriend! I thought we were soul-mates!" Erin said.
"I thought so too, until you decide not to pay attention to the road and kill an innocent pedestrian..." said AJ.
Kevin just stayed right where he was, shaking his head.
"What's wrong, Kevin?" Erin asked.
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S WRONG! YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD, AND SO YOU KILL MY GIRLFRIEND!" Kevin yelled. Kevin reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring box, and he opens it up, and then Jennifer and Nick see an engagement ring, he was going to ask Alexis to marry him...
"Oh my-" said Nick, shaking his head no.
Kevin just shook his head yes to Nick's no.
"Yeah, I was going to purpose to her..." said Kevin.
"Kevin, I'm so sorry!" said Erin.
"DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU'RE SORRY! DON'T YOU EVER TELL ME ANYTHING ANYMORE! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE EVER AGAIN! NEVER! I NEVER WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU EVER! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! I JUST DON'T CARE! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I RAN OVER AJ BECAUSE I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO WHERE I WAS GOING AND KILLED HIM? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? HOW?" Kevin yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Well, I know that I wouldn't be this mad...if it was an accident," Erin answered.
AJ just looked at her in disgust. "You wouldn't? I can't believe you, Erin! Don't you ever talk to me again either. What Kev said, goes for me, too." AJ said.
"Me too," said Vicki.
"Here here!" said Howie.
"Jessica? Brian?" Erin asked.
"Same here," said Jessica.
"Here too," said Brian.
