Broken
I hope that I will do the characters justice. I do not own or have anything to do with General Hospital or the characters. I am also introducing a new character. He is Leslie Weber's son by Calvin Nash, a rancher that she met before she met Laura's father. Will Tyler survive and heal?
Introduction
Nurse Elizabeth Weber was at the entrance door as the gurney was rolled in. The sheets underneath the broken body was soaked in blood. The broken body belonged to that of her former husband's uncle, Tyler Nash. It seemed like only yesterday, the Texan came to Port Charles and was reunited with his mother, Leslie Weber, and for a short time with his half sister, Laura. He stuck around and, eventually, married Amy Vining, a fellow nurse. Elizabeth stared at the door waiting for the next gurney. It never came. Where was Amy?
Several doctors quickly accessed the badly injured patient. It was a miracle that he had survived a head on collision with an 18 wheeler. It was during the first few moments that Elizabeth learned that Amy had not made it. Nearly every bone in Tyler's body was broken or fractured. Dr. Patrick Drake led the team and they frantically tried to treat the more life threatening injuries. The only fortunate result was Tyler was unconscious and probably would be for awhile. "How in the world is he still alive?" Patrick asked as he shook his head. "Once we get him as stable as we can lets get x-rays and a cat scan. Get an operating room ready. If anyone has plans, better cancel them."
In the waiting room, Lucky was already there, as was Lulu. As anyone would expect, emotions were high. At any given moment they ranged from fear to anger to wondering why and how. Lucky hugged his little sister, who sobbed quietly. They comforted each other. Things got quiet as Nicholas arrived with a shaken Leslie. The four huddled and faced the lost of Amy and, the fact that, Tyler would not back it through the day. Not knowing what was going on was making their fear grow. It was almost a relief when Elizabeth walked out. "Liz?" Lucky said softly and vulnerable.
"I won't lie to you, its bad. Dr. Drake and some of the finest doctors are doing what they can." Elizabeth tried to reassure them.
"Elizabeth, I can't tell you how many times I gave that speech." Leslie's voice was shaking. "You know I love you, but right now I am angry that you would give it to us. Tell us the truth."
"Yes, mam." Elizabeth trembled as she fought back the tears. "He is in the worse shape I have ever seen. I'm so sorry, but I would call his other family in."
