In a Heartbeat

Never Promised You a Rose Garden
A/N sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I'm been really busy the past few weeks and when I did sit down to write I got distracted or had writer's block. But I'm back now, and I will try to write more often, if neone is still interested in this story and Men Plan, God Laughs.

Chapter Three - " Will Death Let Me In?"

Hank tapped his foot nervously against the chair. He wished he could go and talk to Tyler's doctor. Something; anything ,to make the waiting stop. But, his dad had said, "No special treatment." So, he'd sit while the cold hands of guilt wrapped it's arms around him. Threatening to strangle , Hank at any instant. He was head EMT. He was supposed to look out for them. He should have know Tyler would go into the building. He should have stopped him.

He should have….

He should have…

Jamie and Caite arrived breathlessly to the hospital. "Is he ok? " Jamie asked Val.

The blond looked tired, worn out, and scared. "We're still waiting on word."

Caitie had never really known Tyler that well, and truthfully never really liked him. But she knew Val an and how this was probably affecting her. "It'll be okay Val. I'm sure Tyler's fine." she sat down next to Val and gave Jamie a look that told him to go to Hank.

Tyler desperately tried to find his way though the labyrinth of his mind. It was as if he was walking around a forest. Searching for a way out; hoping there was one. But when night fell there, the urge to sleep was too great. And the steady beat of the heart monitor went flat.

The doctor walked somberly to chairs. "Mr. and Mrs. Connell?"

Tyler's tearstained mother stood up. "This is my second husband, William Stein. Do you have any news on my son?"

"Yes-"
