Chapter 7: Everything went black

Before I could realise, everything went black.

(Haley's POV)

We walked down the street. Lucy turned around and I could see that her eyes got wider. She turned towards me and pushed me. I landed at least 2 feet away from her. That's when I saw the speeding car but before I could do anything, the car came and hit her. She smashed onto the windshield, then rolled from the roof top of the car and fell from the trunk. The car didn't stop and continued rolling. As soon as she fell to the floor I ran to her. Somebody I didn't know told me and everyone around me not to move her. I started screaming for someone to call 911. I didn't know what to do. She was bleeding a lot from her leg, her leg was actually all crooked, and her body was all tangled. After a few instant, she started moaning but it showed that she was unconscious. I started telling everyone there to call the NYPD crime lab and that her mom and dad worked there.

(Lucy's POV)

I couldn't open my eyes. I heard many people asking me if I could hear them. As much as I would have liked to answer them, I didn't have enough strength to reply. I couldn't feel my left leg and my neck and head were extremely sore.

A few instant past and I slightly opened my eyes. I could see lights everywhere but I couldn't figure out what was going on. I tried to speak but as the paramedics started to work on me everything went black once again. That's when I figured out I had just been hit by a car.

(Lindsay's POV)

The lab was pretty busy. I was doing some paper work when my phone rang. I look at the phone number nut didn't recognise it. Messer was what I said. I could hear a lot of screaming and sirens, I heard a little voice cry. I knew it wasn't Lucy so I figured out it was Haley.

"What's the matter Haley? What's happening?" I asked the scared voice on the other line.

"It's… It's… It's Lucy the car… And boom it hit her in front of the school. I, I don't know what to do and, and…" I heard the little voice say. As soon as she was over the line went shut. I hurried down to Mac's office trying to understand what was happening. Danny wasn't here he was up in Staten Island. I walked in Mac's office and Stella was there. I went to Mac and asked him if he had got a call saying there was a child hit by a car. He answered no so I was relieved.

Two minutes later on our pager, we heard «Child down on 90th and Broadway, officer's child ». I knew it was Lucy. I ran out of the room and got in my car and drove down to the scene.

As I got there, I could see a body lying on the middle of the road but there was no car in site. I saw Haley lying next to Lucy. I ran to them and knelt to the floor. My poor baby girl was bleeding from her leg, her head and the way her neck and leg were place it didn't look good.

"Excuse me miss, I'm going to have to ask you to go on the side walk" I heard someone say.

"I'm not going on the side walk, I am detective Lindsay Messer from the NYPD crime lab and this is my daughter" I said as I began to go cry. This couldn't be happening. My poor little baby girl. I had to call Danny but I didn't want to leave Lucy alone. The paramedics told me to go stay further back so they could work on her. I took Haley with me, who had gone into shock. I looked at her to see that she had many cuts and bruises. Haley and I sat on the side walk and I asked her what had happened.

"Humm… Luc…Lucy and I… We were walking and…and there weren't many cars. We crossed when the sign told us to cross and then Lucy froze, she turned around then…then… She turned to me and she pushed me out of the way and next thing I know she, she went flying into the air and, and…" She said as she began crying again. Stella had taken care of calling Haley's mom.

The ambulance left and I followed them in my car. I wasn't in the best situation to drive so Stella was driving.

"Did, did you call Danny?" I asked before another tear rolled down my face.

"Yes, Mac called him and Danny is on his way to the hospital" She said as a tear went down her face.

Everything was quiet during the car ride until we reached the hospital. There were sirens everywhere. I could see the ambulance park in front of the Emergency entrance. Danny was already at the door. I got out of the car and ran to Danny. I pulled him in a hug and started to cry in his arms. He put his arms around me to try to comfort me.

"Shh, Shh, It's gonna be o'k, She's a tuff little girl jus' like her mom" He said. I saw the paramedics take Lucy out of the ambulance. She was bruised from head to toe. They rolled her into the hospital emergency and into the trauma room. Danny and I sat down on a bench in front of the trauma room.

(Lucy's POV)

I awoke in the middle of the street. Nobody was there. I was all alone. I had a pretty white dress on. I had never seen it before. I couldn't figure out what was happening. I walked down the room until I saw a girl that looked my age walk down the street. I ran after her and once I caught up to her I asked her who she was and what I was doing here.

"Well, I'm Megan I'm here to guide you to making the right choices." She said as she held her hand up for me to take it. I took her hand and we disappeared into a colourful world. She made me sit on a soft couch in a house that I didn't recognize. She sat next to me and started explaining what I was doing here.

"First of all, you're in heaven. Before you ask no your not dead yet. As I said before I am here to help you make the right choices. Do you remember what happened?"

"I remember leaving gymnastics with Haley and then… I… I heard a car and everything went black…" I looked at her "I was hit by a car." I whispered.

(Lindsay's POV)

We had arrived at the hospital more than a half an hour ago. No doctors had come out of the trauma room to give us news on Lucy. About 15 minutes later a doctor finally came out and told me they had to go do scans and then they would see what they'd do from there. I didn't even know the injuries she had. I just wanted her to be safe.

It took several hours before I finally got news on Lucy. A doctor came out and asked for Lucy's parents. Danny and I walked to a closed room.

"Hello, my name is Doctor Lewis; I will be the one to be treating Miss Messer. Your daughter is in critical condition. From what we could see on the scans and x-rays is that your daughter has a fractured neck, a fractured skull, bleeding and swelling of the brain, a 3 fractured ribs and her left leg is going to need surgery because it is fracture and smashed up in several places and there is internal bleeding in her hip. I will have to proceed to surgery. The other doctors are getting her ready for surgery" He said, I couldn't believe it. By hearing what her injuries were it was a shock to Danny and I for her to still be alive.

"We are still in shock that she's not dead or even paralysed because the fracture in her neck of the C7 is a few millimetres away from her spinal cord, so any sudden movement and your daughter could be paralysed for life." The doctor continued. He finally left leaving Danny and I in Shock. How could this be happening? Let's just say Lucy was a miracle…
