About fifteen minutes
later Nick walks into the hospotal. When he sees Simon in the waiting room he
walks towards him. When he see's tears in his eyes he doesn't know what to say
so he just sits down beside him and waits.
About half an hour later the docter comes out and says that she was very lucky
and that the bullet did not hit any of her organs. They went in to see her but
Nick stayed back and let Simon, Annie, and Eric go ahead.
Eric and Annie talked to her for about 5 minutes and then let Simon be alone
with her.
Simon: "Why did you do it." (holding back tears)
Lucy: "Why did I do what?"
Simon: "Lucy don't play dumb. Why did you be the person to take my
place?"
Lucy: "Simon, I will take your place, forever."
Simon now embraced her with by far the biggest hug he had ever given anyone. He
walked out of the room and let Matt who had come a few minutes earlier see her.
Simon walked up to Nick.
Simon: "I think I am going to have to cancel our plans tonight. I have a
date with my sister tonight."
