*AN* Short chapter. i wanted this one to be a bit of a solemn scene. Less dialouge makes it seem serious/depressing. I'm still learning hospital scenes. The ending was pictured as if it was on television. As the last line is read it came out in my head as if a camera was filming and pulling away for added effect of the seriousness and such. I wish this was a tad longer though. I'm at a bit of a road block, but I'm sure I can work around it. I've uploaded 3 chapters today and i think 2 last night. so I hope its enough for a little. I plan on writing more but its crunch time at school so I dont know how much time I can dedicate to this for the next two weeks. *
They were being led down a long hallway with rooms on either side. These were just small out-patient rooms though, they don't know exactly where they were heading but it seemed to get not only quieter but, in a sense, "darker". They took a couple twists and turns until they reached some double doors. Each set needed a doctor's swipe card to open. The finally reached the ICU. Dr. Mitchell told them that Katie was in a stable and manageable condition but since they didn't know what was wrong and she wasn't waking up, she was put here for close observation. Dr. Mitchell led them to one of the corner rooms after stopping at a desk to check a log.
The room was dark and quiet. There were no machines other than an EKG. The boys stayed just outside the room as the doctor went in to check the machine. A nurse followed shortly. They watched them work on their friend, they could do nothing and felt a little helpless but also fearful. They waited so long to see her but the sight of her in a hospital bed turned them away a little bit. Dr. Mitchell talked with the nurse before leaving, smiling at the boys and patting Kendall on the back on his way out. The nurse stayed and tucked some blankets around her. She looked up and saw the boys still standing there.
"You can come in." She said calmly. The boys looked at each other before Carlos took a step inside. The others watched him for a second before following. Carlos went straight to the her side and grabbed her hand looking at her. Kendall walked up next to him and put his hands on the bars of the bed. He looked at her silently for a minute before reaching up to rub his eyes. James put his hand on Kendall's shoulder; Kendall looked back in a bit of surprise, he was so focused on Katie he didn't realize James was right beside him. They looked at each other for a second and Kendall returned the gesture. He looked back down at Katie; Carlos still holding her hand. He reached out to rub her arm. The nurse finished up and left. Logan who was standing next to her, took her place when she left. He looked at Katie and then to his friends. They were all looking at her with emotionless faces. They didn't know if she would ever wake up. They just kept looking at her as she "slept" hoping that she would open her eyes and everything would be ok.
