For Dear Life

Chapter 2

Scott, Shelby, Bob and Susan ran into the hospital looking for someone to talk to. Shelby ran over to a nurse frantically "Stephanie Barringer? Where is she?"
The nurse sighed, "She's in ICU so is the boy she was with."
"What happened?" Scott asked sternly, they were both so scared as soon as they got the phone call.
An officer came up to them "Are you their parents?"
They all nodded their heads the officer continued, "Do you know where your children were tonight?"
Shelby nodded "Yeah they went to a party, my daughter she plays softball for school and they went to a party after wards to celebrate their win."
"Do you know if they were drinking?" he asked.
Scott shook his head getting up in his face "Look our daughter doesn't drink she cant and we trust her, we just want to see her right now."
"I need to ask you these questions to get some facts straight." The officer said. Scott got up in his face.
"Look I just want to see my daughter, if you have a problem with that you're going to have to deal with it later." He then grabbed Shelby's hand walking towards the ICU with the nurse.

Stephanie lay in bed hooked up to machines, Scott and Shelby were finally let in they ran over to her. Shelby had been crying and started crying harder seeing her daughter Scott started crying now too. A doctor came inside "Mr. and Mrs. Barringer?" he asked they walked out of the room and over to him.
"How is she?" Shelby asked her voice shaky.
"Your daughter and her boyfriend were in a car accident, they had been crossing an intersection I guess and they were hit by a robber who was trying to get away from a crime scene. The boy suffered more than your daughter did he was closest to the collision. Does you daughter have any other medical needs to tend to?" He asked
Scott nodded his head "Yeah she's diabetic."

Stephanie opened her eyes, they hurt from the light she looked around realizing she was in a hospital her voice was hoarse but she spoke anyway. "Billy?"
A nurse came over to her checking her out "Hello Stephanie how are you feeling?"
She didn't answer her "Where's Billy?" she asked instead.
"He's alright. How are you?" she asked again.
Stephanie was getting sick of this she sat up the best she could clearing her voice to speak up "Look lady where is my boyfriend? Is he all right I have to know!" she sounded desperate.
Before the nurse could answer her the door burst open, Shelby and Scott ran over to her. Shelby grabbed her giving her a hug the best she could.
Stephanie hugged both of her parents back crying, Shelby pulled away looking at her daughter "Are you okay hunny?"
Steph nodded "I'm fine mom, where's Billy? What happened?"
"Hunny you were in a car accident with Billy what happened?" Scott asked.
Stephanie lay her head back on her pillow "We were coming home from the party and it was raining and hard to see the road. We were laughing and joking about things and were stopped at a red light. I then leaned over and curled up to him as he drove across when the light turned green when we saw head lights coming towards Billy's side and he swerved the car but it was too late and I think we were hit because I don't remember anything after that." She was crying she looked at both of her parents.
"Where's Billy? Is he all right? He's okay right?" She asked them.



A Week Later

Stephanie had recovered from the accident quickly she only had a broken leg, and was banged up and a few scratches. She used her crutches down the hall to Billy's room for the first time since she'd been there. He had been in a coma since the accident her parents had left her brother with their Aunt Jess so they could stay with her. Friends from school had been showing up bringing flowers and gifts.

Stephanie walked into his room fighting with her self to not cry seeing him hooked up to all the machines. He had been the healthiest boy she'd known and him looking so pale now was scary. She sat down beside his bed taking his hand in hers talking to him.
She put on the best smile she could "They wouldn't let me see you until now. I hope maybe I'll have better luck in waking you up." She chuckled but it turned into a cry she continued. "Please wake up Billy, you're not supposed to die like this. You're supposed to die an old man in bed with me on the same day remember? Not like this…" She didn't know what else to say, "You know how you said that you know me because we grew up together? I know you the same way, you are the only one I ever want to be with and that's why you have to wake up so we can be together forever. Please Billy I can't live without you." She was sobbing and laid her head by his stomach not to disturb the machines.
Stephanie then felt a hand running through her hair she looked up to see her mother standing over her. She cried.
"Why won't he wake up mom?" she asked getting angry. Shelby just shook her head "I don't know hunny."
Stephanie looked back at him "He's the only one who really knows me, he made me know too. I love him so much mom, as much as you love dad. Knowing each other so well, soul mates, friends."
Shelby stood crying for her daughter Stephanie had decided to leave the room. It was getting too hard for her to stay here she was getting too mad and was ready to blow up any minute now. She had hobbled back to her room with her mother in tow, she walked over to a table with a vase full of flowers smelling one, and it smelt bitter to her. She pushed the vase on the floor watching it smash into a million pieces Shelby was crying watching her daughter in so much pain.
