Scott arrived 10 minutes later. Lou didn't know whether to hug him and cry in his arms or just stay on the couch and keep crying. " Stupid hormones. My sister might be ok, but these pregnancy hormones just make me keep crying." All of a sudden she felt Scott's arms around her and he pulled her to him. She accepted and cried into his chest. He stroked her hair and whispered, " Everything is going to be fine." Lou never wanted to leave him and ended up falling asleep in his arms.
Out on the TrailsSundance kept neighing. He soon saw about seven men and four dogs come up to him. He heard one man say soothingly to him, " Easy boy. I'm not going to hurt you. We need to get your owner to the hospital. We're trying to help you two."
I had no idea what he was saying, but I trusted him. I saw five men go to Amy and two men come to me. I soon saw one man that was by Amy, look up and signaled this big loud thing. It looked like a big bird. It made my mane go everywhere. It was loud too. Soon a bed type thing came out of it. They put Amy on it and it was slowly going up into a hole, and disappeared. (A/n: it was a helicopter) The two men helped me up and helped me walk. Soon my home came into view.
Heartland in the houseJack saw Chris and John, one of the two men out of seven, leading Sundance. He saw Amy wasn't with them. He went out to meet them.
" Where's Amy? What happened?" he asked.
Chris answered, " They took her to the hospital. She had blood coming out of her head. I know one thing; her condition is fatal. You can go to the hospital now."
" Ok. Thanks." He went to go tell Lou. He found her and Scott on the couch asleep. He went over and gently shook the two. They both woke up.
" Grandpa? Grandpa, where's Amy? Is she okay?" Lou asked.
Jack hesitated, but than he answered. " Lou, I don't know all the details. I'm afraid to tell you this…"
" Grandpa, just tell me," said Lou growing impatient.
" Lou, her condition is fatal. They don't know if she will make it."
" What?" Lou asked at a whisper.
" Come on. We should get to the hospital." Said Jack.
Scott squeezed Lou's hand to tell her he was here for her. Lou never left his side.
At Meadow Ville Hospital
It was nearly seven o'clock. Jack called Jefferson High to tell them about Amy. The minutes seemed to be like hours. Around 10 o'clock, a doctor was walking towards them.
" Are you Amy's family?" He said pointing to them.
" Yeah. How is she?" Jack said.
" My name is Dr. Reese. Maybe we should talk about this in my office. Please follow me." They got up and followed him. He led them to a hallway. They walked down the hallway and he stopped by an oak door. He led them inside. There was a couch, which they sat on.
Dr. Reese spoke, " Amy had a lot of bleeding coming from her head. We were able to stop it. There is no brain damage, so that's good. She also has a sprained spine and broken wrist. Those will heal. She's still unconscious. I am sorry to tell you this but she's in a coma." Lou started crying again when she heard those words. Jack asked a question everyone wanted to know, " Do you know when she will come out of it?"
" I'm sorry. We don't know when or even if right now. Coma patients could be in a coma for a day, a week, a month, a year, or even for the rest of their life."
Lou got the courage to speak. " Can we see her?"
" Of course." Dr. Reese led them down different types of hallways. When they reached room "308" the doctor stopped. " This is her room," he said. The doctor opened the room and all four went in. They faced an unconscious Amy lying on a white bed. Her head was wrapped up and her wrist had a cast on it. Lou walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down. Jack and Scott did the same.
At Jefferson High SchoolSoraya was walking to her locker. Soon Matt met her there. She was wondering why Amy hadn't ridden the bus this morning, but guessed she was running late. By the time lunch came she still wasn't there. She was getting worried as well as Matt. They were sitting at their table when Ty came by. " Have you seen Amy?" he asked. He was feeling bad for what he had said. He wanted to take it back. He'd have to talk to her.
" Nope," replied Soraya. Just than her phone rang. She answered it. " Hey Lou…What…Please tell me your joking." Soraya started to cry hysterically. " No! She can't! She can't!" She was crying and yelling. She hung up her phone and ran outside. Ty and Matt looked at each other. They soon ran out after her. They found her on the side of the building, her head in her knees. " Soraya? What happened?" Matt asked her.
" A-Am-Amy w-w-wa-was in a-an acc-accid-accident." Soraya cried. Matt and Ty both looked worried.
" Is she okay?" Ty asked.
Soraya shook her head no. She was able to speak clearly this time. " All I know is that she is in a coma. She had a lot of blood coming from her head, but they stopped it. She has a sprained spine and broken wrist. I also heard Lou say her and Sundance were missing since about 4 or 5 last night. I don't know how it all happened, but they were found around 4 or 5 this morning."
I stopped here because I know you guys were waiting for the next chapter. I have been at a horse show all weekend so I never got a chance to update. Review!
