Hello, the author here just wanted to say thank you for the lovely comments yet again and I can't tell how nice it is to read them all and know that people are still reading this incredibly long piece of fanfiction and I apologise in advance for there being no end in sight. Anyway here's the next chapter (which is continuing on directly from where the last one ended).


…And in walked Heath and Bianca. Everyone looked at them and their faces dropped.

"Jesu! Don't all greet us at once!" Heath said as the others went back to where they had been sitting.

"Sorry Mate, we were hoping you were Nate." Ricky replied as she hugged Bianca.

Bianca turned to Brax and said: "Irene called and said that there had been and accident and said that Kyle was seriously hurt, so as you can imagine this one drove as quick as he could to get here, pretty much broke the speed records."

Brax stood back up and answered: "Yeah and last time we heard anything Nate give me some forms to sign and then rushed off to operate on Kyle. Also why doesn't that surprise me?"

"Is he going to be ok?" Heath asked obviously worried "And I don't know what you mean but my family was hurt I came running!"

"We don't know but his heart stopped at least three times and then Nate said he was suffering from internal bleeding and that his arm needed repairing as he had damaged it."

Bianca looked at Brax and said: "Oh God, poor Kyle! He will be fine after all this Kyle we are talking about."

Roo spoke up after listening to the them: "Bianca is right; Kyle will get through this."

"Thanks Roo!" Brax said.

With that everyone sat back and waited.

3 hours later…

Everyone was sat quietly when Heath stood up and said: "What is taking so long?"

Brax looked up and said to his brother: "It is taking so long because they are trying to save our brother and I don't know about you but I'd rather they took as long as they needed instead of rushing and end up killing him."

Heath just looked at Brax and sat back thinking it would be better not to argue with his older brother. As Brax went to sit back down the door to waiting room opened again.

Everyone stood up and looked at the door just as Nate entered the room where he was suddenly faced with a lot of questions.

"How is he?"

"Is Kyle ok?"

"What took so long?"

"Where is he?"

"Can I see him?"

Nate put his hands up to get everyone to stop speaking and then he said: "Now that you have all shut up I can speak."

"Sorry Nate, is he Kyle going to be ok?" Brax asked.

"We managed to stop the bleeding once we found the source which did take awhile due to the amount of blood. The orthopaedic surgeon has managed to set Kyle's arm which was placed in cast and he shouldn't have any serious complications."

Everyone started celebrating by hugging each other when Ricky noticed the look on Nate's face.

"Nate, what's wrong?" Ricky asked causing everyone to stop celebrating and look at Nate.

Nate replies to Ricky: "Well I said we were able to stop the bleeding eventually but during the operation Kyle's heart stopped again. This is why this surgery took longer than we expected as it took us nearly six minutes to get his heart started again."

"Why did his heart stop again?" Bianca asked.

"We think this is due to the amount of blood Kyle had lost." Nate said but his face still didn't change.

Casey looked at Nate and said: "There's something else isn't there?"

"Yeah there is. Even though we managed to get Kyle's heart started again and even though he is breathing on his own I'm concerned about how long it is taking Kyle to wake up. Normally people in Kyle's condition wake up anywhere between thirty minutes to an hour however it's been over an hour and he hasn't woken up yet which is another reason why I didn't come and let you know how he was straight away."

Phoebe immediately started crying again as soon as Nate had started speaking. Maddy and Tamara moved from where they were standing and went over to her to try and calm here down again.

Roo turned away from the three girls and looked at Nate: "So what exactly is taking Kyle so long to wake up?"

"That's the thing, we can't find any reason for him to still be unconscious."

Heath not taking that for answer shouted: "How can you not know? This is meant to be your job!"

Nate understanding how they were all feeling said calmly: "There is many different reasons that could be preventing Kyle from waking up for example has Kyle been ill lately?"

Brax went to say no but then remembered the incident five weeks earlier: "I don't know if this has anything to but Kyle collapsed about five weeks ago at the restaurant but he said he was fine and we put down to how hard he had been working and that he missed lunch and dinner."

"Well that's probably the reason why collapsed and won't have any reason to do with why he isn't waking up now. Is there anything else you can think of?"

Maddy said to Nate: "He did have a panic attack while were camping in the National Park. If that helps?"

As soon as Maddy had mentioned the National Park Casey quickly said: "Oh no!"

This caused everyone to look at him, then Brax said: "What is it Casey and don't you lie to me or your grounded again?"

Not wanting to be grounded again Casey told them about how when he was teaching Kyle to surf but he fell off and disappeared under the water. Casey made a point to say that Kyle hadn't been under the water for that long and that he fine other than the fact he looked as pale as a ghost.

As soon as Casey finished speaking Nate suggested: "If he fell off and disappeared like Casey said it is possible that Kyle may have inhaled some water but that shouldn't be causing any problems now if he was fine hours after it happened. What can you tell me about the panic attack that Kyle suffered?"

Phoebe spoke up for the first time since Nate appeared and she explained about all the pranks that the girls had played on the boys and how that the panic attack was caused by his fear of snakes after been bitten by one and that he suffered from a severe allergic reaction to it.

"Phoebe are you sure that Kyle told you that?" Nate quizzed the teen.

"Yeah why?"

"Well none of what you just told me was in Kyle's medical file." Nate said to them "Did you know about Kyle's allergic reaction to snake bites?"

Brax looked at Nate and said: "No, this is the first I'm hearing of it."

Nate was about to speak when Phoebe interrupts him and asks: "Can I go see Kyle now?"

Nate knowing that Phoebe was just going to keep asking turned and said: "Yes you can seem him now. He's just down the hall in room 4."

With that Phoebe took off down the hall with the others following her while Nate went off to check Kyle's medical file again just in case he missed the information Phoebe gave him.
