Alison started sobbing. "Rafe, do something. Go after him please!"
Rafe grabbed Alison in an attempt to calm her down. "Angel, I know you're upset. I am too. But you know right where he's headed. He's going to go find Trina and they're going to run off together."
"So what are we going to do, huh? Just let him run away? Are we going to let our only son just go off and never see us again?" Alison screamed and started crying harder.
"Alison, listen to me! Please, you have to calm down while you listen to my plan."
"Plan? What plan? You're the one who said he's going to run off with Trina."
"Yes. But we are going to find him. So here's what we're going to do. First we're going to call off of work for the day so we can find him. Second, we're going to go get Makala at Angie's, let her know what's going on, and she can come with us if she wants."
Alison calmed down a little and got a tissue to wipe off her wet face. "I probably look horrible now, don't I?"
"You could never look horrible. You'll always be my beautiful angel."
Alison smiled and reached up to touch her husband's face. "You always know what to say."
"It's my job. Alright, let's get going." They called and explained to their bosses about their situation and then went to see Makala. Naturally she was worried about her brother, so she decided to tag along.
"Is this my fault?" Makala asked, scared and still a little confused about what was going on.
"No honey, it's not at all," Rafe said, reaching back to give his daughter an affectionate pat when he was stopped at a red light. "Ed is just a little troubled right now, that's all. It has nothing to do with you."
The light turned green and Rafe started to go, but suddenly he was hit head on by a car on the other side of the intersection that had a red light. The car flipped several times before stopping. Rafe, who wasn't hurt by the sudden collision, looked over at his wife and back at his daughter to see if they were ok. "Makala, Alison, can you hear me? Answer me!"
"Dad," Makala moaned from the backseat.
"Don't worry honey. I'll get some help! Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine Dad. At least I think so. Are you ok? Is mom ok?"
"I'm ok honey, but I don't know about mom right now."
"Oh my god, Mr. Kovich! Makala! Mrs. Kovich!" Trina screamed. Ed, who was driving the car, soon
"Get some help!" Rafe screamed when he couldn't find his cell phone. Trina quickly pulled out her cell phone to call 911 while Ed just stood there, shocked.
"Alison, can you hear me? Baby, please answer me!" Rafe reached over to check her pulse and to see if she was breathing.
"Help is on the way Mr. Kovich!" Trina said, coming back.
Rafe panicked when he couldn't find Alison's pulse. "Angel come on! Please God, help me," he pleaded.
"Dad, I'm sorry.." Ed started.
"I can't believe you would be so irresponsible! Ed, what were you thinking running that red light?"
Not wanting to hear what else his dad had to say, Ed ran off. The paramedics soon arrived and immediately hooked Alison up to some oxygen and put her in the ambulance. They took Makala and Rafe as well just to make sure.
As soon as they got to the hospital, Alison was brought to surgery. She had a lot of internal bleeding and other complications from the accident and they had to fix it fast. Rafe and Makala were checked out and they were fine. They waited in the waiting room by the surgery room.
Ian came out. "Rafe, I need to speak with you." He pulled Rafe aside so that Makala wouldn't hear. "Ok here's what's happening. Alison lost a lot of blood, both internally and externally. We've done all we can, but it's up to fate now. She may have brain damage. Her chances are very slim. I'm sorry."
"No, there must be something else you can do. Some other doctor or something."
"I'm sorry Rafe, I wish I could do something or someone else could, but even the best doctor in the world would tell you the same thing."
"No. No this can't be happening!" Rafe started to break down and cry. Ian tried to comfort him but Rafe shrugged him off. He was too upset to deal with anyone right now. Ian decided to leave him alone and went back in to where Alison was.
"Please, if there was anytime I really needed you, it's now Dad." Rafe pleaded, looking up to talk to Ed. "I can't lose her now. Please you have to help. I can't live without her." Rafe started sobbing. He had to try and calm down or else he would never be able to tell Makala. And he would have to call Alison's mother and grandmother.
Meanwhile, in the surgery room, Ian, Karen, and some nurses kept a close watch over Alison to see if she was making any progress.
"I almost can't do this," Ian said, throwing his gloves down in frustration. "Alison is like a part of my family."
"I know Ian, but you have to focus on your job right now."
As Karen continued to try and calm Ian down, a white light surrounded the room. A girl with long, wavy red hair and green eyes stood over Alison. She wasn't seen by Ian, Karen, or the nurses. She put her hand on Alison's heart and soon Alison's eyes fluttered open. "There you go. Don't worry. It's not your time yet."
"Who are you?" Alison whispered.
"My name's Mia." Satisfied with what she had done, Mia made it so Alison would not remember her, and disappeared.
"Rafe? Makala?" Alison's voice traveled out over the room, barely even a whisper.
"Oh my god!" Karen exclaimed, running over to Alison.
"I don't believe it," Ian said, going over to check her.
"Do you know who you are?" Karen asked, making sure Alison didn't have amnesia.
"Of course. Alison Kovich. And you're Karen and Ian. Where are Rafe and Makala?"
"They're fine. They're waiting outside. Ian, why don't you go tell them the good news?"
Ian went over to Rafe, who was still sobbing. "Good news. Alison woke up and is asking for you and Makala. But for now, just go in and see her and let Makala wait out here. Alison can only handle one visitor at a time."
"Oh thank God!" Rafe exclaimed, rushing in to see Alison. He gave her a long and enduring kiss. "I thought I lost you. I was so scared."
Alison gave him a weak smile and whispered in a raspy voice, "You can't get rid of me that easily."
Rafe gave her another kiss. "I love you so much."
"I love you too."
Meanwhile, Ed was hiding out in the park. He couldn't believe what he had done and he wasn't sure if he ever wanted to face his parents, or anyone else for that matter, ever again. As he was about to do something terrible, he noticed that someone was watching him.
"Who are you? And what do you want?"
The person stepped out into the light. "My name's Mia. I'm new around this part of town, but I know all about you."
"How?" Ed was confused.
Mia smiled. "I have my ways. All you need to know is that I'm going to help you."
"Help me? I don't need any help. So just leave me alone." Ed tried running off but Mia caught up with him.
"Not so fast. You're going to stay right here and listen to what I have to say."
Rafe grabbed Alison in an attempt to calm her down. "Angel, I know you're upset. I am too. But you know right where he's headed. He's going to go find Trina and they're going to run off together."
"So what are we going to do, huh? Just let him run away? Are we going to let our only son just go off and never see us again?" Alison screamed and started crying harder.
