Just to let you know, the medical stuff in this chapter I made up. I know little of medicine so I just wrote down what I thought sounded good. So please enjoy and please review.


Chapter 2

Both Holly and me go to visit Beck in his room. Mrs. Oliver says I can come in if I want to and of course I want to see Beck is okay with my own eyes. We get to the door way in Beck's room, that's where we see a rather young and pretty nurse standing next to Beck smiling at him while Beck describes the accident in his attempt to hit on the pretty nurse. Which seem to be working, God you could put Beck on a deserted island and he could still hook up with some chick.

Holly steps into the room and clears her throat loudly, getting the attention of both Beck and the nurse. They look surprised as they see Beck's mom standing there. "Oh, um... Hey mom, have you met my nurse yet? Her name is Tina" he says trying to play it cool, but I could tell that his game was trashed when his mom came into the room.

"No, I haven't had the pleasure" Holly says in a way too polite tone of voice as she step further into the room. "So Tina, how is my 16 year old son doing today?" she says and the nurse instantly steps back from Beck when she hears he's underage. I have to laugh at this, even with the death stare Beck is shooting me its still funny as hell.

The nurse quickly mutters something about how he's fine and runs from the room. Holly walks over to her son with a raise eye brow and a questioning look on her face. A look the makes Beck shrink under her stare. "You young man, are going to get yourself in trouble one of these days" she says before she cracks a smile and throws her arms around her son in a tight motherly hug. "but I guess it shows you are yourself at least" she says after a few minutes of hugging him.

That's when I walk up to take a good look at Beck, while standing at the foot of his bed. He has a bandage on his forehead, his lift eyes is a black and swollen. His lip is cut and seems to have stitches in it. Plus the two middle fingers on his right hand are wrapped up, seemingly broken. Only Beck could successfully hit on a nurse while looking like he just got beat up.

Beck sees me staring at him, he puts on his charming smile and says "So hows my hair look?" I laugh at him and walk around to his lift side. "Looks find there Oliver, but I think it needs just a little something" I say before I reach over and begin roughing up Beck's hair, causing him to protest and try to fend me off. "No, stop it. Leave the hair of the young handsome man alone" Beck says and after a minute I do, but damn if his hair still looks good.

"So Beck how are you feeling?" I ask out of concern as I reach over him and give him a hug myself, also placing a kiss on his cheek to show I'm happy hes okay.

"As good as can be expected I guess. I'm a little sore but okay" He says as he face suddenly changes to one a seriousness. "Hows Cat? Is she okay?"

I sigh and Holly just sits down in the chair next to Beck as she listens to our exchange. "I don't know much other then that her brother is with her now" I say disappointed that I can't say more.

"Do you remember anything about the crash?" Holly suddenly asks, raising some curiosity with what happened in me as well.

"Well, I don't know much, it happen so fast" Beck says thoughtfully as he looks like he is trying to remember. "Everything was fine, Cat was doing a great job driving. Then I heard gasp or something and when I looked over at her Cat had her head against the steering wheel, she looks like she was unconscious. Then before I could be anything we hit something and everything went dark" Beck finishes, looking as confused as we all felt.

After awhile of talking, the same doctor from before comes into the room. We all go silent, waiting for him to say something. "Well, I spoken with the brother to Miss Valentin and he says its fine for me to tell you all how she is doing"

I breath a sigh a relief, I begin mentally taking back anything bad I ever said about Cat's brother. "So doc, how is Cat doing?" I ask as I choose to believe Cat is alright.

The doctor begins. "Well, physically for the most part she is about the same as Mr. Oliver here" I have to suppress the urge to smirk at Beck being called Mr. Olive again. "Miss Valentin has a cracked rib, two broken fingers and a dislocated shoulder. She will be sore, but she will heal from those injuries soon enough" the doctor spoke in such a way that it made me know that there was a but on the way.

"However" which is the same thing as a but "Miss Valentin's condition is begin agitated over the fact that she seems to have been suffering from a bad case of the flu" He says sounding concerned.

Beck spoke next. "the flu?" he says questioningly. "Whats so bad about that? I had the flu before, it wasn't fun, but I got over it soon enough" Beck says matter-of-factly.

I look at the doctor waiting for him to continue as I feel the same way as Beck, what does the flu have to do with a car wreck?

"Most of the time your right Mr. Oliver, if a person gets enough rest and time to recover the flu will not be such a big deal. But in Miss Valentin's case, she seemed to have been pushing herself when she should have been resting. This has lifted her in a weaken condition and was most likely the cause of your accident" The doctor says before clearing his throat.

"You see, Miss Valentin..."

"Her name is Cat" I say doing my best to sound intimidating as I interrupt the doctor since I'm getting agitated from this guy calling Cat by her last name so much.

"Right, Cat" The doctor says correcting himself. "You see with Cat, she never gave herself time to rest and recover from the flu. It made the illness worse and lifted her with a low red blood cell count. Basically she has been in a state of serious anaemia for what I would assume was the last few days at the very least. She was likely very weak and exhausted when she got in the car today and as she was driving that weakness finally became too much for her so she lost conciseness" the doctor says all of this very medical and professional. Only problem is since he was talking to Cat's closest friends it sounded cold and heartless, if it wasn't for Beck hold my hand I would have punched the doctor in the face.

"Okay, well that sucks. But shes in the hospital now, so why don't you guys just do what you do and fix her" Jade says over simplifying things again.

"Its not the easy, you see, if it was just a case of anaemia or the car crash Mis... Cat would already been on treatment and be fine in a few weeks. But the two conditions together make treating her anaemia dangerous. The medicines we would use to treat the anaemia could hamper her recovery from her physical injuries. Meaning that if we treat the anaemia she might not recover from her injuries she has, but if we don't treat the anaemia Cat might not make it through the next 48 hours" the doctor says sounding clinical again.

I wanted to punch the doctor in the face for what he said, but suddenly there wasn't any fight in me. I couldn't move or even feel my legs under me, I actually had to support herself on Beck's bed with one hand as the other hand covered my mouth to stop the sounds of my sobs from getting out. Just the idea of Cat dying struck so hard at the core of my being that it felt like a real physical blow just hit me in the gut.

Beck looked completely stun, a look of total awe plastered on his face, unable to even form words as he stare at the wall on the other side of the room. Holly sat in the chair next to Beck silently crying and doing her best to comfort her son. Both of them looked on the verge of breaking down into tears. With Jade not too far begin them.
