(Hey everyone! Well two chapters ago I had over 4000 hits, I now have over 5000!!! Well this chapter has taken a while to write as I wanted it to be just right! I'm not quite sure if it is but you can tell me if it is!!! The song in this chapter is called 'Moon River' from the fabulous film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. It was sung by Audrey Hepburn and it always makes me smile when I hear it and me and my siter both love it. So I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! TKAMB aka Becky)

Chapter 13:

Everyone sat nervously in the relatives' room in the hospital. Jack, Alfie, Annette, Sammy and Michelle had come with the Bolton's and they all sat in silence. The old gang had come to see Amy and to collect their children

"What's taking so long? It's been over half an hour! Someone should have come to see us by now" Evangeline asked walking across the room

"I'm sure she'll be fine" Sharpay said softly

"What do you know?" Charlie asked and Troy looked shocked at him

"Charlie! Apologise now"

"I'm sorry, I ... I don't know why I said that" Charlie said softly placing his head in his hands

"You're upset that's all, we understand" Chad said making Charlie look up and smile softly

"I hope you're happy now Jack" Charlie said standing up and Jack looked confused

"You think I'm happy about this? I didn't do anything wrong" Jack defended himself and Alfie stood between them

"You may have felt that Amy and Jack being together is what is to blame but it is not Charlie! If you want to blame someone then blame Casey for writing that article and creating that website! Amy told me many things throughout the period of time we have known each other but the most vivid is this. No one is blame for the serious events that take place in our life time. We merely have to deal with the aftermath. That is what makes us who we are and show the strength and beauty we possess in our souls. The way in which you are acting Charlie I cannot see that beauty that Amy seems to see and understand within you. How can you be so cruel to the people who need your help the most especially when she is your sister?"

"You can't talk to me like that" Charlie retaliated

"Because you feel that I am a threat by doing so, don't you? Well guess what? At least I have the guts to stand up for what I believe in; I won't be quietened like Amy is by people like you. So who is the bigger person now?"

"Stop it!" Troy yelled and everyone turned to him. "Alfie is right; we have to stop blaming each other because it isn't going to help Amy" At that moment a doctor entered the room. The Bolton's knew him well as he had treated Amy her entire life.

"Doctor Barns, how is she?" Gabriella asked as she stood up

"Amy has suffered a severe heart attack. We have run a series of test which show that her lungs and heart are beginning to fail" he explained and everyone was silent in shock

"What does that mean for Amy?" Troy asked in almost a whisper

"Well we have had to sedate her and we placed her on life support as she has had trouble breathing since she arrived so this way we can control it. We have moved her up the transplant list but unless a new set of heart and lungs come through soon I'm afraid there won't be any more we can do for her. It is unlikely she will ever wake up again without the transplant and it would be a case of when you are ready to turn the machines off" he explained

"Can we see her?" Gabriella asked as tears fell from her eyes

"Of course. Just so you know she will have a tube down her throat to help her breath and she will be linked up to various machines via wires. You should talk to her as it is believed that people in the same condition are able to hear things around them although they may not be able to react to them" he explained and everyone felt their heart had been ripped out, Jack more so then the others

"I had better go since you won't want me here" Jack said and began to leave the room. Charlie touched his shoulder making Jack stop and turn around

"Please don't go. We need friends now more than ever before" Charlie asked and Jack nodded with a small smile. Everyone was silent when they entered and saw Amy hooked up to the machines. She was very pale and the only sounds heard in the room were the machines

"I can't believe this is happening. She was fine this morning, I was talking to her yesterday and she was happy, smiling, having fun" Sammy said softly and Chad wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulders

"She told me she felt good today ... That she was seeing the world in a different way, a way that made her happy" Troy explained as a tear fell from his right eye. He began touching Amy's delicate fingers and could feel they were slightly cold

"Dad I just need some time to think! I'll be fine, yes I'm a little tired but only because I stayed up late last night. If I felt ill I'd tell you. I don't feel ill ... I fell good" Amy's voice echoed through Troy's mind

"I need some air" Evangeline said before rushing out of the room. She ran out of the hospital and sank to the ground as tears fell. She leant up against a pillar sobbing with her knees up in her chest

"Evangeline?" she heard a familiar voice say and she looked up to see Alfie. "If Charlie and Jack can becomes friends again can't we? I know I'm just some guy or creature as you put it that has to write assignments with you, but I'm also friends with your sister. I can't help her right now, but I can help you. So let me ... just let me" he said softly. She began to cry once more and leant against his shoulder so he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to comfort her.

"You're not as bad as I thought Alfie" Evangeline said after a moment

"Ditto" he replied making her chuckle. When her tears had lessoned she sat upright once more

"I really regret not being close to Amy. I used to be but things fell apart for us ... when we were younger and she had to be in hospital I was always at her bedside playing and such. I'd even sing songs from the classic musicals we loved to watch as kids and she would fall asleep and I'd sit and watch her chest move up and down just to check she was still breathing" Evangeline explained

"What happened?" Alfie asked and Evangeline shrugged

"I guess because she didn't spend all her time in school she didn't make such strong friendships as I did. Being the most popular girl in school as well as being a sibling to the most popular boy and child of the coach, I guess I wanted to block out the problems in my life. If I blocked her out of my friendship loop and follow the social standing order of school then I wouldn't have to think how ill she was and everything would be fine, her illness would go away! Stupid huh?" Evangeline asked and Alfie shook his head

"No, it was just your way of coping with it. I think it is time you made up with her before it is too late" Alfie suggested and Evangeline looked at him like he was crazy

"How? She may not wake up again"

"Figure it out as unlike the other cheerleaders, you are smart" he said and everyone apart from Gabriella, Troy and Charlie exited the hospital

"Hey Evangeline, we are heading home. We said we would drop by tomorrow ok?" Taylor said and Evangeline nodded. She hugged everyone and watched them go but as Alfie began to walk away she grabbed his hand.

"Alfie ... Thank you" she said softly and kissed his right cheek before heading back into the hospital. Evangeline came to her sister's room to find everyone silent within. She looked around and noticed Charlie wasn't there. "Hey mum, where is Charlie?"

"He went to get a drink, are you ok?" Gabriella asked wrapping an arm around her daughter's shoulders

"Yeah, I just needed a moment to myself. Do you mind if I have a few minutes a lone with her? I need to get something off my chest" Evangeline explained and Troy nodded

"Yeah we have people to call anyway" Troy explained and they left the room. Evangeline slowly walked to her sister's side and cupped Amy's right hand in hers

"Hi Amy ... look I don't know if you can hear me but I have to say this" soft tears began to flow down her cheeks but she didn't care. "I'm so sorry for what I have done to you these years. I just didn't want to think of you as being ill so if I blocked you out then it would go away! I remember when we were little girls and we would play together for hours and hours then spend the evenings in each other's room doing our hair or reading or playing board games and watching those musicals on DVD that we watch hundreds of time through the years. Even tormenting Charlie in a series of dare games, you remember spraying water from the hose in the garden through his bedroom window! The ultimate basketball target practice as we called it! I have always loved you and I'm so sorry for everything I did wrong in our relationship" Evangeline wiped away her tears and coughed. "I guess there is nothing I could say to make up for it but I can do something, I hope this isn't the end but if it is then this is for you". Evangeline coughed once more and began to sing

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me

Evangeline kissed Amy's hands and felt better for saying what she needed to say, however if Amy heard it was yet to be discovered.
