Chapter 2

I managed to keep up with her as best I could as we made ourselves halfway across the parking lot. I was tempted, with all my might, to yell out her name and start interrogating her. Who was she? Where did she come from? What was she playing at; attracting the attention from every single 'Y' chromosone in the student body. I huffed a little as I power-walked behind her…still managing to keep my distance.

"Adrienne!" A voice called from behind me. "Adrienne!" I looked behind me and saw Sean running my way. I sighed impatiently as he made his way up to me.

"Huh? W-What?" I asked a little agitated.

"I-It's Gr-Greyson…" He huffed. I felt my eyes grow wide; all thoughts of Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen thrown from my mind.

"W-What's wrong with Greyson?" I asked. Sean was still trying to catch his breath; I could tell he was trying to hurry and explain.

"H-He, was walking out of the library and…and he…"

"He was what!" I asked.

"Hit."

"Hit?"

"Hit by a coming car. The driver wasn't looking where he was going." He explained. He looked at me with a sort of pained looked on his face.

"OH–MY-GOD! Sean! OH-MY-GOD!" I held my chest for support. My eyes where clouding up but I didn't pay attention to the fact I couldn't see where I was going. All I could see was Greyson. Greyson. His beautiful face smeared with pain. And there I was not even able to help. Running after a girl who probably didn't realize half the male student body was paying any kind of attention to her. While my poor Greyson was injured.

"Where is he?" I asked. " Damn it Sean where is he!" I saw him gaze at me unable to speak. I yelled and then began to run. Arms were around my waist at this point but I could still feel my legs moving forward. Suddenly the ground was gone. It faded away…like a dream. That's when I realized that Sean had his arms around me lifting me into the air; attempting to face me in the opposite direction.

"He's fine Adrienne! He's fine! They got him to the hospital!" He was struggling to keep me still and calm me down. The cloudiness began to decrease and my cheeks felt warm and flushed. He succeeded in getting me to face him. I rubbed my eyes to make the remaining cloudiness go away. When I touched them however, I realized they were only tears; traitor tears causing me to over-react about everything. I freaked out, and I know that scared Sean. I probably also looked a total mess.

I looked at my hand after wiping the tears away, and saw black, brown, and ink smudges on my fingers. Makeup. Yup…I did look a total mess…heh.

Sean drove me to the hospital as fast as he could, just to make sure that I didn't go back into my freak-attack once more. I ran into the lobby and asked for Greyson's name while throwing my hand onto the counter as well.

"Greyson Hunter!" I said loudly. The pretty assistant behind the counter looked Sean and I over before she realized that Sean wasn't going to let me harm anyone. She checked the name in the files of the computer.

"Second floor, down the hall, third door to your left." She said almost bored. I rolled my eyes and went for the elevator without so much as a 'thankyou'. I knew I would regret being so ungrateful later on.

Sean and I rode in the elevator for what seemed like hours. My legs began to feel jumpy and my hands wouldn't stop twitching. I was soo worried. Sean held my shoulder with his right hand just to get me to keep still. I looked up at him; I felt so bad for going into a frenzy earlier, but I didn't really know what to say. He smiled down at me as if to say He didn't care that I freaked out...He just wanted me to be ok.

We walked a little more calmly than before to Greyson's room; just so I wouldn't cause an uproar. (Which I probably would have done.) And there he was. Laying on the bed, uncounsious and oblivious to all around him. The monitor was by his head and tubes were stuck in him from the bags filled with blood and another liquid substance I couldn't place.

I moved closer to him and couldn't find the strength to say anything. He was so handsome...even injured. I felt horrible for thinking it. I placed a hand on his cheek- possibly hoping he would shudder from my touch. When he didn't, however, the tears came. Not loudly like it had before, but silently. This is all my fault. I mean I just couldn't stop feeling as if all this wasn't my fault.

"Oh...you must be the family?" A voice asked from behind. I turned around and saw a fashion model walk into the room, dressed in a surgeon's robes, blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a clipboard in his hand. He smiled at Sean and I as he made his way further into the room. Sean stood up to shake his hand.

"Uh...No sir. We're his friends. W-Well I'm his best friend, she..."He said gesturing to me. "...is his girlfriend." I attempted to stand to shake his hand but he held up one hand and offered me to sit back down.

"I'm sorry." He said to the both of us. "I'm doctor Cullen, but you can call me Carlisle or Dr. Carlisle...either one is fine with me."He said smiling sympathetically at Sean and I. Cullen? Carlisle..Cullen??? HE was the DAD??? "You must know my children?" He asked. I noticed that I was staring at him. Sean was gawking a little too. There was no way he could be the father. I mean...he's soo...well...young. And gorgeous. I suddenly wondered how the mother looked.

"Thankyou Dr. Carlisle...sir." Sean said regaining his consiousness. "You've done soo much."

"You're welcome. Is there anything you'd like to know?" I noticed he asked me. I looked back at Greyson.

"How is he? Or...How is he going to be?"

"Well, he did take a serious blow to the head and he broke a few parts of his ribs. We're afraid parts of the ribs might have penetrated a small area of his lungs." I looked up at him. He seemed too calm about this. Sean looked at me (Seeming, I think, more afraid of my reaction rather than what Carlisle had just informed.). I knew I must've looked frantic.

"But that's not always bad. He'll have to go into surgery and we'll deal with it in no time." He reassured. For some reason I felt it good to trust him. Young though he might be...I felt he knew what he was doing.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'd better call his family, I actually feel a little ashamed for telling the both of you this information before his parents." He said seriously. Sean stood up.

"No...No I'll go and call them. Thankyou Doctor." He looked at me. "Adrienne will you be alright?" I nodded. I couldn't find my voice. After that, there was silence. I knew the both of them had left me. I felt as if I couldn't breath.
