CHAPTER 10: Life Without Princess

Duncan POV

I stood in the rain watching the emergency helicopter take off and fly away as Geoff and Dj patted my shoulder.

"It's gonna be alright, dude." Said Geoff. You didn't even see her.

"Yeah! She'll be back before you know it!" Dj added. You weren't even there.

I would have been on that plane too, but I would be violating my parole, and the pilot knew who I was. Bridgette volunteered to go with her. I watched as the helicopter disappeared over the dark ocean. I felt my inner being slip down into a depression right then and there. I fell to my knees. The sand felt like shards of broken glass, cutting into me like the pain I brought upon myself for leaving her behind. It's all my fault. If she doesn't make it I don't know how I'm going to go on. I won't. It's that simple. She left an empty void in my heart.

"Dude, you should get out of the rain."

"I don't think he's listening Geoff."

"Dude, this is really stupid! You're making me feel like you're going to commit suicide or something!" Suicide didn't sound all that bad right now.

"Just leave me alone." I said coldly. I heard Geoff shrug, and go inside.

I felt the tears come gushing down my face. I quickly wiped them away. I would do anything to be with her.

I looked out over the dock into the abysmal landscape that was now my life without Courtney. Lighting flashed and I noticed something. The boat of losers!

Bridgette POV

The emergency technicians franticly tried revive Courtney. Oh my God, Courtney. She looked so pale. My ability to hear vanished. I watched as the silent paramedics placed an oxygen mask on her. They were yelling, but no noise came out. I looked to the monitor. There was a green line that would spike up every second or so. I heard a faint distant scream. I turned to see the paramedics yelling and looking at the monitor.

"WE'RE LOSING HER!" The sounds snapped back into my head. I turned around so fast I almost gave myself whiplash. The monitor's green line was straight and not moving. The eerie noise it was making filled my ears and forced a tear down my cheek.

"NO! Courtney, you have to fight!" I grabbed her hand. "You're going to survive. I know you will. Duncan needs you! I need you! Everybody needs you!" The took off the mask and put the defibrillator against her chest. "CLEAR!" Courtney's body shot up, but dropped lifelessly back onto the stretcher. Duncan! I'm so sorry.

Duncan POV

Me, Geoff, and Dj got splashed in the face by a small wave. Not that we were not already soaked from the rain.

"Was stealing the boat the only idea you had dude?" Yelled Geoff from the back of the boat of losers.

"Of coarse! I need to be there for her!" I yelled back. It was hard to hear anything over the boat and the storm. I saw Dj lean over the side of the boat and throw-up.

"Just hurry up!" I heard him scream.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?"

Bridgette POV

I held Courtney's hand as they rushed her to the emergency room. She had barely any pulse at all. The helicopter wings above us scattered the raindrops. Oh shit. That was all I could think of as we raced into the hospital. A nurse stepped in front of me.

"Sorry ma'am, but you'll have to wait out here." She said and quickly turned and went inside with Courtney. I just sank to the floor right there.

The lights in the waiting room were too bright. I couldn't find the strength to get up. The puddle around me grew larger from the water dripping off me. A large male nurse helped me up and sat me down in a chair.

"Your friend's going to be alright." he said soothingly with a large crooked smile.

"I bet you tell everyone that." I shot back cruelly. His strange smile vanished and he walked away.

Everyone in the waiting room stared at me. Their faces blended together in my mind.

"What are all of you ass holes looking at?" I yelled at everyone. They all turned away and pretended to be doing something else.

I suddenly heard the front doors burst open and squeaky wet shoes run across the sterilized white tile hospital floor. I turned my head to look, but I already knew who it was. Duncan ran up to me and grabbed my shoulders.

"Where is she?" he somehow whispered and yelled at the same time.

"They took her to the back." I said without any emotion. Duncan stood up and grabbed fist fulls of his hair. Geoff walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

"It'll be alright, Bridg." He said with a fake smile.

"Shit." I hear Duncan mumble to himself.

Geoff kneeled down in front of me and held my hand. At first I thought he was proposing, but then realized he was just resting. Dj and Trent both sat down next to me while Duncan paced back and forth across the waiting room.

TWO HOURS LATER….

Courtney's parents have been contacted and were on their way. They would be here at about noon tomorrow. Everyone was getting nervous that it was taking so long for the doctor to come out and see us.

"Duncan?" I said looking at him across the waiting room.

He looked up. "What is it?" he said.

"She's going to be fine." I felt myself smile. It felt so out of place right now. Actually smiling at a time like this.

"Thanks." said Duncan dropping his gaze back down to the floor.

Suddenly the double doors leading to the emergency room burst open and a doctor stepped out hugging a clip board.

"Is the Kingsley party out here?" He said looking around the room. We all stood up.

"Right here!" Duncan blurted out.

The doctor smiled and crossed the room to us.

Duncan POV

The doctor smiled as he walked across the room to us. That has to be a good sign! HE smiled! She's okay! I thought to myself.

"Courtney is fine." he stated. Everyone sighed a sigh of relief. I felt like throwing up.

"She is suffering from, a sprained ankle, a fractured wrist, a concussion, and serious blood loss associated with a large cut on her forehead. We managed to stitch it up and she's awake. You can go see her now if you want to." He smiled and walked away.

All of us walked back to her room. I don't like the hospital. The walls are all white and perfect, the floor tiles are white and stainless. It's too clean and perfect. BLEH!

We approached her room and I knocked cautiously.

"Come in." said a familiar voice. We all stepped inside and I gasped as soon as I saw her. Even on the brink of death she still looked amazing. Her hair laid sloppily along her shoulders and she was hooked up to several different IV's.

"Can you guys give me a minute alone with Courtney?" I ask everyone.

Dj, Trent, Geoff, and Bridgette all turned around and left the room closing the door softly behind them.
