Kaya held on to Lisa's hand, Merv held on to Lisa's, Luke held on to Merv, Jack held onto Luke, Klariza held onto Jack and Meg held onto Lily waiting to hear what the Doctor had to say.
"Kathryn was very lucky that where the metal went into her abdomen she didn't severely damage her organs. Someone must have been looking out for her because if the metal had gone in a few centimetres more I wouldn't like to think what I would be telling you now. However Kathryn suffered a serious blow to the head and although there is no sign of brain damage she is in a deep coma and the longer she stays asleep the less likely it is she'll wake up."
Kaya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Lisa squeezed her hand "she'll be ok" Lisa whispered, "I hope so" Kaya replied.
Meg stared at the Doctor she didn't understand what he had just said; "I'm sorry Doctor but what do you mean by the longer she doesn't wake up the less likely she'll wake up?" The Doctor placed his hand on her shoulder "Are you parents here yet Meg?" Meg shrugged his hand off her shoulder.
"Answer my question!" Meg raised her voice, her face was full of fear and uncertainty of her sisters condition.
"Meg please I think its best we…"
"No you tell me now, is my sister going to be ok?" The eyes in the room begun to silently let the tears escape once more.
"I'm afraid I can't answer that. If Kathryn doesn't wake up soon, there is a chance she may never wake up. I'm sorry." Meg couldn't move, her feet were rooted to the ground, she couldn't believe what she'd just heard. The tears were falling quickly "she might die?" Meg managed to ask through the tears, all the Doctor could do was nodd. Lisa watched Kaya run over to Meg and pull her into her arms. Everyone couldn't believe that Kat could die, Ollie wished he could some how turn-back the clock to when Kat and Lily were mucking about and laughing before the Director yelled action.
"I need to see her" Lily wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the Doctor "Please I need to tell her, I need to tell her…" Lily couldn't hold back the tears, she squeezed her eyes tight to try and prevent them from falling. The Doctor passed her a tissue "thank you" she said wiping her eyes. He nodded and smiled; the sadness in Lily's eyes was a sight the Doctor was used to seeing. Everyday the sadness about a loved one was seen in people's eyes, for a lot of people it was love they already knew they had but for some a tragedy was the spark that let their hearts realise who they loved. The Doctor could tell Lily was one of these people, her eyes told him she loved Kathryn but it took the tragedy to help her heart understand. "Unfortunately only family or partners are allowed in to intensive care."
"But I need to see her please I…I'm.." Meg looked up from Kaya's shoulder, she reached out for Lily's hand and held on tight. She looked at the Doctor "Please Doctor this is my sisters girlfriend, please let her see her." All eyes were on Meg, they couldn't believe how she had just came out with it like it was already a done deal. Kaya smiled "Yeah Doc, maybe Lily's voice will wake Kat up." Ollie stood up "Yes isn't there known cases of people coming round from a coma because of something someone had said?" The Doctor looked around at all the hopefulness in the young ones faces, he smiled "Yes son there have been. Ok Lily come with me." Lily hugged Meg and said "Thank you" "Give her a hug from me" Meg replied. "Tell her we're all waiting for her and we're not leaving till she wakes up." Called Lisa from the back of the room, Lily smiled at everyone "I will do" She wiped her tears and followed the Doctor out of the room.
The corridor felt like it went on for hours, Lily's heartbeat was racing the walls felt like they were closing in on her, all she wanted to do was see Kat and end this nightmare somehow. The Doctor stopped, Lily looked at the door "I must worn you Lily, Kathryn is connected to many machines but she isn't in any pain I can promise you that. I'll be back soon, if you need anything press the nurses button on the wall." Lily thanked the Doctor and watched him walk away. Lily turned back towards the door, she closed her eyes and opened it slowly. As soon as she was inside, she closed the door behind her before turning around to see the girl her heart had been longing to love. Lily took a deep breath and turned around, her heart clenched at the sight. Kat looked so peaceful, like she was sleeping but then the wires and the machines made it hard for Lily to forget what had taken place. Seeing Kat sent all the images flashing through Lily's mind. The moped just flipped and Kat was on the ground, Lily remembers jumping off her bike like she was a stunt man and running to Kats side. The blood was the worst memory, Lily remembers cradling Kat like a baby while her vision became blurred because of the tears streaming down. Lily closed her eyes to block the memory out, she sat on the chair beside Kat's bed and held onto Kats hand.
Her hand was so soft, Lily entwined her fingers between Kats, and they fitted perfectly like they belonged together. Feeling Kats skin against her own made her heart beat race, Lily lent over Kat and kissed her on the forehead. "Kat its Lily…I don't know if you can hear me but I…love you." the machine to the left of Kat showed Kat's heart rate and Lily noticed it went higher just for a second. But that second made Lily smile because Kat's heart was letting Lily know Kat knew she was there.
