A/N: I only own Krystal as expected
Why did I let this happen? I thought as I sat by the hospital bed Dave lay in. Why didn't I do something? I watched Dave lay silently on the bed. Tears stung my eyes as I watched Dave's chest barely rise and fall. I should have went with him..maybe I could have helped him... The nurse came in and disturbed my thoughts. "Visiting hours are over Miss." I nodded and stood up. "I'm sorry Dave...I love you." I whispered after kissing him softly on the lips and standing up. I walked out of the door,down the hall and into the arms of a worried Randy. "Did he say anything?" Randy asked,looking down at me. I shook my head and buried my face in his chest and cried. He held me and let me cry. "You wanna go?" Randy asked,slowly rubbing my back. I looked up at him,tears still flowing, and said, "I should've went with him..It's my fault he's here.." Randy looked down at me and whispered, "It's not your fault...It's nobody's fault...Whoever did this...It's their fault." I looked away from Randy and shook my head. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let him go by himself..." Randy turned my face to face his. "It's nobody's fault..Are you hearing me Krystal?" he asked,looking into my eyes with a look of true hurt and sympathy. "Let's go Krystal...Please stop crying...Dave wouldn't want you to cry." Randy whispered,still hugging me. I let Randy drag me out to the car and drive me back to the hotel. Randy walked me to my room door and said, "Krystal,since I made you leave tonight,tomorrow we'll go and I'll stay all day with you okay?" I numbly shook my head. That didn't make me feel any better...I NEEDED Dave now..I had to be there to make sure he was okay..To make sure he was going to be there tomorrow when I got there. "Night Randy." I said,going into the dark room. I pictured Dave laying on my bed,smiling at me. More tears stung my eyes. They don't understand...I can't sleep with Dave in the hospital...I won't...I refuse to...I fought back the tears as I heared Randy's voice in the back of my mind, "...Dave wouldn't want you to cry..." I knew he was right. Dave would have wanted me to be strong...But I couldn't be strong...He was my strength..He IS my strength. Then,disrupting my thoughts,the phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello?" "Krystal get ready.We're going back to the hospital..NOW." "Why now?" "Krystal just get ready." Randy snapped. I got ready and ran to Randy's room and knocked on the door. Randy opened the door and walked out,somewhat pushing me out of the way. Randy locked his door and began walking away from me. "Randy! Answer me!" I demanded,grabbing his arm. He looked at me and said those words I dreaded to hear, "Dave might not make it." I felt my whole world shatter. I let go of Randy's arm and stood there,dazed for a second. "Krystal! Come on!" he said,grabbing me by my arm and dragging me to the car. I couldn't believe it.Dave,my love and my life might leave me... Please be okay Dave...Please don't leave me...I love you and I couldn't and won't live without you..Please make it... Randy hadn't even stopped the car completely and I was already half way across the street.
