They found AJ waiting at the entrance with weary eyes and tearstains. "What happened?" asked Brian as AJ led them to the elevators.
"Denia was in a car accident," said AJ trying not to cry.
"What?" said Brian in shock.
"How? How could this have happened?" asked Nick as he felt tears come to his eyes.
"Her car wrapped around a tree. It's really bad, but the doctor's say there is a chance we'll get her. She's unconscious right now and although she's not in a coma, the doctor says there's a chance she may end up in one, due to the critical condition she's in. She's in a very secluded area and her parents are trying to discuss what they're going to do with publicity and stuff with her manager," said AJ walking down the hall.
As they walked down, they saw a crowd of family and close friend in front of a room. Nick was looking at them and noticed that they were all in tears and were very weary.
"Nick! Thank god you're here! We need to ask you something," said Denia's mother approaching him.
"I came as soon as I heard," said Nick in tears.
"Are there any developments?" asked AJ walking over to Liz and wrapping his arms around her.
"The doctor and police determined it wasn't an accident," said Denia's dad shaking a little. "They said it was a suicide attempt."
"What?" said AJ and Brian simultaneously.
"Why on earth would Denia do that?" said AJ aloud. Nick looked at Brian and saw Brian looking at him with the most hateful eyes. Brian knew exactly what had happened and Nick did too.
"It's all my fault," said Nick trying to confess.
"What? Why?" murmured everyone. Nick was about to say more, when the doctor burst through the door.
"Denia's awake now!" he proclaimed as a sigh of relief followed from everyone's mouth. "Just give me a few minutes and I'll let some of you in to go see her," he said as he left everyone talking about what a blessing it was for her to be all right.
"Denia, I have some news to tell you," said Dr. Philips as he closed the door behind him.
I looked up at him with a blank expression on my face. I hadn't died and I was miserable that he had saved me. I stared at him, and asked him quite simply, "What?"
"Did you know you were pregnant, Denia?" he asked.
The thought just entered my mind that I was pregnant and that I had tried to kill both the child and myself, unintentionally. "Yes," I whispered.
"I'm sorry to tell you, but we couldn't save it," said the doctor gently.
My heart fell just then, and I realized I had killed another living being. I had killed my own baby. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. "You saved me, but you couldn't save my baby?"
"I'm sorry, Denia. It died from the impact of when the car hit the tree. Did you try to kill yourself and the baby?"
"No," I said breaking down and starting to cry. "I just wanted to kill myself. I didn't mean to hurt the baby. I didn't even think about it, as I did it. I was so caught up in anger and I was so emotional that I didn't think. Oh my god!" I said as my breath caught in the air. "I killed my baby," I said.
"I know this won't come as much of a comfort, but it was an accident. I don't want you to get yourself more upset over it. You're in very delicate condition right now. I'm going to let you have some visitors right now. I'll be right back."
I watched as he left me. I stared blankly at the ceiling as I let tears trickle down the sides of my face. I heard the door creak open and footsteps on the hard surface of the floor. I looked over to find myself looking at the person who had ruined my whole life.
"Denia," said Nick as he slowly approached me. "I'm sorry."
"I don't want to talk to you," I said with anger in my voice.
"Denia, I don't blame you for being mad at me. I just want to be able to give you the apology you deserve. I blame myself for what's happened to you. Denia, I do love you."
"Nick, I hate you. I don't want to hear your apology, because it will not make up for what I've lost!" I screamed at him.
"Denia, calm down. You're in very critical condition. I don't want to get you upset."
"It's a bit too late for that!"
"Denia, you're alive and that's all that matters to me. I'm sorry for everything I've done. I'm sorry for the heartbreak I've caused you. I'm so sorry. I can promise you now though, that I will spend the rest of my life and yours making up for what's happened. I know your career might never be the same, but I'll save it. I'll do anything."
"Nick! You can't do anything, because I don't want my career. I don't want my life and I don't want you! All I want is my baby back!" I said screaming hysterically.
"What?" asked Nick confused.
"I just want my baby," I said with a sad expression on my face. "I lost my baby when I tried to kill myself."
"You were pregnant?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Yeah. I was going to tell you, but I didn't get a chance to. I lost the only thing worth living for because of you! You disgust me! Leave!" I screamed at him as my hands started flying in the air.
"Denia, relax," said Nick worriedly.
"Get out! Leave!" I continued to scream, when I suddenly fell back with a heavy force pushing me back. I faded into darkness again as I heard the monitor's began to beep violently. It was the end. Finally, the end.
The End
