Part 1
Chapter 1
Greg got out of the Denali, shut the car door then ran at top speed into the hospital. He got a call from Nick that Morgan was there. Apparently she got struck in the back and fell on her head on a curb. He heard that she was in critical condition and came straight there. He went inside and saw Nick, Russell and Ecklie there.
"How is she doing?" asked Greg
"Still in critical condition." answered Russell
Greg swallowed right there as he looked at the door impatient. His worst fears were coming to light. That something drastic would happen to her. He cares about her more than anything. He really likes her ever since she set foot in the crime lab and he saw her. He was babbling like an idiot then and still sometimes acts that way around her.
When night is falling so hard upon you
And the world is hanging heavy on your heart
When you're so stranded, you're barely standing
I will hold you, shield you, show you
I am standing by
Greg stood there concerned and worried. There was no news yet. So why was he feeling this way? Was he in love with her? He looked at Ecklie who has his head down. Ecklie was the most concerned as he is Morgan's father. But Greg was as equally concerned. She truly makes him happy, feel safe and that there was greatness ahead for him. That tomorrow will always be there.
But now Morgan is in there and possibly fighting for her life. He was there hoping, praying that everything will be alright. But he feels more stranded than ever with how things have been going on. He's lost without Morgan. He needs to be reminded that she will be there. How she is always there for him? Now is it the opposite? Does he need to guide her? That he needs to be there by her side. That he's there for her.
And when you're lost
And think no one can find you
I will remind you, you're not alone
I will be there
I'll be the one to guide you
My love will be your compass
I will lead you home
Greg kept standing there and staring at his shoe as he put it in circles. He was fiddling with his shoes and the collar of his shirt. The more he waited the longer it took it made the anticipation rise inside of him. It made him want to see Morgan more than ever. He looked at the other three there and saw how they were not only concerned but waiting for answers. It showed the most on Ecklie's face than the others.
Greg started thinking of all the memories he has of Morgan like the first time they met, how he got jealous when was attracted to a model who was the victim at one point, how they had no electricity in the crime lab, the case of the copycat killer with the slaughterhouse and many more. There were so many great memories he has and some terrible as well. But that's what life is you go through good and bad times. Unfortunately this is one of those bad times that happen.
Greg was barely standing at the moment but then the door to the room opened and two doctors came out. Greg raised his head hoping they would come over to bring them news. But they stopped and the doctors talked for a little while trading notes or something. Then they came over.
"You Morgan's family?" asked a doctor
"I'm her father these guys are just her co-workers." said Ecklie standing up and went over
"Alright well I'm Dr. Perkins I'm looking after Morgan for the time being." said Dr. Perkins a young middle aged man to be around his younger forties with straw colored hair and wire rimmed glasses
"How is she?" asked Greg right there
"As of right now she is sedated and it's still too early to be sure. But we will keep doing tests and checking every hour." said Dr. Perkins
"Thank you doctor." said Ecklie
"Can we all see her?" wondered Russell right there
"Sure but one at a time, I think her father should come in first." said Dr. Perkins
Ecklie went between Russell and Nick and went in the door to go see Morgan while Greg stayed back in a waiting room and sat down on a chair. Greg placed his hand up to his face for the time by making bother his hand and cheek numb. But he was fine with it. He kind of wanted to be the only one left at the hospital for her when he went in. So when Ecklie was done in there Russell then went to see her for five minutes then Nick went in for five minutes as well.
Nick came out of the room and went past the waiting room and glanced at Greg for a moment. Greg got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the hospital room and went in it. He saw Morgan silently lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She looked so beautiful and serene right there. He walked slowly over to the bed.
He put his hand to her hand and rubbed it gently and sweetly. He feels so bad for her right there just by looking at her face and eyes closed and the blonde hair lying flat and dull. It's usually so filled with life and always looked golden to him whenever he looked at her. Now all he sees is someone who needs to get better and get out of that place and back to the crime lab.
To him she is just a dream. A dream that has became his nightmare. He gently moved his hand and moved it to her cheek and rubbed his thumb on her cheek right there. His face was plastered with concern and pure love. Something that was truly amazing. He was giving her something that every girl out there wants. He is giving her love, affection and attention. She truly is his dream and hopes that one day it can become real.
"Morgan . . . please . . . please come back." Greg whispered as he looked at her lifeless face "Everyone at the crime lab needs you."
"I need you."
