"I'm so glad you're here. Just seeing your smile makes me feel better." Kevin told Rachelle with a smile, stroking her cheek.
"You may be glad I'm here, but I'm certainly not glad that you're here." Rach exclaimed, "What is the news on the rest of the guys?" Rach asked. Kevin's
smiled faded.
"Well, uh Howie's ok...But AJ, Brian and Nick are in comas." Kevin replied quietly and slowly. Rachelle was stunned to say the least.
"Oh my God. And poor Chesa and Amber! AJ is Chesa's best friend since like elementary school, and Brian is her boyfriend! And Amber and Nick are...oh
my God." Rachelle replied shocked and staring at the bed spread. Kevin took her hand, "And you and Brian are family," Rach gave him a hug and held on tight, "oh baby, are you ok?" Rachelle asked. Kevin held her close and let a tear fall from the corner of his eye. "Yeah...I'll be alright."
8:03 AM. This was the thousandth time Chesa had looked at her watch since they had arrived there at 3:45 AM the night before. But still they were not allowed to see the guys. Chesa had slept about two hours in the lobby, leaning on Amber's shoulder as Amber also slept. Chesa and Amber couldn't sleep anymore though...They just wanted to see AJ, Brian, and Nick.
Amber walked over with three bottles of water and handed one to Rach and one to Chesa. Rachelle sighed, Kevin had fallen asleep from the pain killer about an hour ago and was still sleeping. Dr. Marcus walked out and approached the girls. Amber, Rachelle and Chesa jumped up, hoping that they would be able to see the guys.
"Hello girls." He greeted.
"Hello, Dr. Marcus." They replied.
"Well, Mr. Littrell isn't awake yet, nor are the others, but he may receive visitors. Mr. McLean and Mr.Carter will be able to receive visitors in about
half an hour." The doctor told them. Chesa's eyes lit up, and Amber felt a little relief at the fact that she would be able to see Nick in a little
while. "Come with me Ms. Blanton." Dr. Marcus led her to trauma room 486 and stopped at the door. "Now Ms. Blanton, if this is too much for you then you may leave and come back whenever you feel except from 12:30 to 1:10."
"Thank you doctor." Chesa replied and opened the door. The lights were dimmed and the steady beeping of the monitor filled her ears. Chesa then saw Brian
in the bed with breathing tubes and an IV tube hooked up to him. Chesa started to silently cry, and floods of tears streaked her face. She quietly crept over to his bedside and looked down at her lover, quiet in a deep sleep. His light breathing was the only thing convincing her that he was still alive, and all she wanted to do was see his gorgeous blue eyes again...
Chesa pulled up the chair from the corner of the room and held Brian's hand, softly singing "Unbreak My Heart" as she felt her tears land on her hand.
