Zane's P.O.V.
I can't believe I said those words to HER! Not just because she's my sister but because she's been through this not just once but twice and this is her third time and I'm so STUPID! Why in the hell did I say it's her fault when it's no ones fault.
My god I have to find her and apologize and explain I only said those things out of hurt, sadness, and anger but where do I look? I know I'll ask Logan and maybe Max can help too.
---------Logan's Penthouse---------
Zane: Yo Logan open up!
Logan: Hang on I'm coming.
Zane: Hurry up!
Logan (opening the door): What's up?
Zane (coming in with a rush): I need your and Max's help.
Logan: Why?
Zane: I need to find my sister, we had an "argument" and she left, I need to find her and apologize before she does something crazy.
Logan: Okay well let me give Max a buzz.
Zane: Okay sure but hurry!
---------Hospital----------
Max's P.O.V.
Gee, when I woke up this morning I figured I'd go see Logan, head over to work, and then have lunch with O. Cindy and no where in there was bringing my brother's sister to the hospital. I gotta find a payphone and call Zane.
Max (to a nurse): Excuse me; is there a payphone around here?
Nurse (while pointing): Ya, around that corner.
Max: Thanx.
Nurse: You're welcome.
Max found the payphone and dialed Zane's number. "Come on, come on, Zane pick up the damn phone,'' she said. After like six rings no one picked up so she hung up. Then her beeper started beeping and she didn't even have to look at it cuz she already knew who it was.
----------Max and Logan on the phone with each other---------
Max: Look Logan there's no time to talk have you seen Zane? It's important.
Logan: Ya he's here with me now.
Max: Let me talk to him.
Logan (to Zane): It's Max.
Zane (picking up the phone): Ya Max?
Max: Look Zane there is no easy way to sat this---
Zane (cutting in): Then just say it.
Max: Margaret...she um...had an accident, she's at the hospital.
Zane: Which one?
Max: Metro Medical.
Zane: Thanx (and he hung up).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zane: Come on Logan we gotta go to the hospital.
Logan: Why? Is something wrong with Max?
Zane: No there is nothing wrong with Max. I can't explain right now, just come on.
Logan: Okay fine let's go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fifteen minutes later Zane and Logan came rushing into the hospital and Zane walked over to Max, and all she did was look into his eyes and she could see that all he wanted to know was if his little sister was alive and she nodded her head indicating "yes". "What the hell happened?" Zane asked. Max started to walk to the visiting area indicating for them to follow her, and they sat down and she explained everything from when she walked out of the building until they got to the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
--------1 hour later--------
The doctor came out of the ER room and Zane ran straight to him. The doctor wasn't expecting a male he was expecting the young curly haired female who was here with the girl earlier when she was brought in. The reason neither Max nor Logan were there because they had gone to get coffee and to call the others and tell them what had happened.
Zane: Doc, is my sis going to be okay?
Doc: Well I have some good news and some bad news.
Zane (signing): Just tell me.
Doc: The good news is your sister will make a full recovery and the bad news is she will probably be in a coma for the next few weeks. She also had an infection near her liver apparently from a stab wound but don't worry we gave her some antibiotics and stitched up her wound which hopefully should stop the infection before it gets to the liver.
Zane: Tell me one thing why is she in a coma?
Doc: Well she's real lucky that's all she's in. Most people in her state have brain damage, possible cracked vertebra, and are in a permanent coma---
Zane (cut him off): But you just said she's in a coma.
Doc: Yes but most people in her state don't have good vitals which she does and don't respond well to the treatments we give them but she is so the coma will last a couple of weeks. Look?
Zane: DaLuca. Zane DaLuca.
Doc: Look Mr. DaLuca your sister was hit by a car and she is very lucky----
Zane (cutting him off again): But?
Doc: But the next 48 hours are critical if she stays the way she is then she will make a full recovery but if she doesn't then she will be in a permanent coma.
Zane: Okay thank you doctor, can I go see her?
Doc: Ya sure go ahead. One thing though try talking to her, she may be in a coma but she can still hear you.
With that said the doctor let him go see his sister. It had been maybe an hour since he had come in and sat by her, he didn't say anything he just sat there looking at her, she looked so vulnerable and sad. He didn't say anything or do anything it was like he was in his own little world because he hadn't acknowledged the fact that Zack and the rest of the crew was there, but Zack brought him out of his reverie by asking:
Zack: What now?
Zane: I don't know, I gotta go to Portland and make arrangements for my dad's funeral, but I don't want to leave her cuz I don't want something happening to her while I'm gone.
Zack: Look man, I'll stay here and keep an eye on her don't worry 'bout a thing
Zane: Promise?
Zack: I promise.
With that said Zane turned back to his sister and let a tear trickle down his cheek and land on Margaret's hand which he was holding within his.
A/N: Okay so please review and I really don't know much 'bout coma victims so I made it up as I went along. Thanx
~~~Margaret~~~
