She lay so still. Reese stumbled back as if trying to get away from the
heartbreaking scene in front of him. He hit the wall and just slumped
against it in defeat. He took a minute to compose himself and slowly walked
over to the uncomfortable chair next to the hospital bed. At closer
inspection he could no longer hold himself together.
Kay lay surrounded by tons of machines. She was lost in the midst of blue metal and silver needles. There where two IV needles in her right arm, a tube that was attached to a giant machine traveled down her throat, and there were heart monitor wires attached to her chest. She was so pale. The color of her skin was the same as the color of the sterile sheets covering her. A thick white cast encased her left arm. But the worst was her face.
There was a white bandage on her left temple with the edges of a dark bruise peeking out around it. There were other bandages covering all of her right cheek, the lower portion of her left cheek, and her left eyelid. There was also a deep cut in her lips. She looked…. lost and it frightened Reese. This was Khaila. She was always so strong and independent. Here she was relying on machines to keep her alive and have to go to great work just to take a breath.
I No, this isn't supposed to happen to her. She's the strong one. She's supposed to be okay. She Bdeserves/B to be okay. Why did this happen? /I Reese thought.
The door to the hospital room swung open and a gasp sounded. Reese turned to face Sam, Jessica, and Simone. Jessica's eyes immediately filled with tears at the sight of her older sister lying in the bed. Simone just stared shocked and Sam looked very guilty for some reason. He stepped slowly toward the bed and grasped Kay's hand. He suddenly broke down and openly wept with his head on his daughter's bed.
