Everyone stared awkwardly at the grown man sobbing and weeping openly. Sam
seemed to have forgotten that other people where in the room. He just gazed
helplessly at his daughter's heavily bandaged face and cried.
Quietly, Reese pushed Simone and Jessica out into the hall. Jessica had stopped crying and just had a shocked expression on her face. She had never seen her father like that. He was always so strong and brave. She couldn't fathom the weak and emotional man that sat in her sister's hospital room. Reese saw the shock on her face and wrapped her in a hug. He held her for a second and then pulled away.
"Where are Charity, Miguel, and Mrs. Bennet? Why aren't they here?"
"They went shopping for new clothes for Charity. We couldn't reach them. Mrs. B left her cell phone behind." Simone replied.
"What's wrong with Kay? Is she going to be all right? Why are there bandages all over her face?" Jessica insistently asked.
Reese explained to them what had happened and what the doctor had said about Kay's condition.
"…. and they don't know when she'll wake up." He finished.
"Simone, Reese, Jessica, What are you doing here?"
All three turned their heads at the sound of Dr. Russell's voice and came face to face with the older women.
"Kay was in a car accident, Mom." Simone told her tearfully as she ran into her mother's embrace.
"Oh My God, What is her condition? Oh never mind, I'll just read her chart." Eve said as she pulled the clipboard from the slot outside the door. She quickly read the chart and gasped. As she turned to go to the nurse's station she told them she was going to request to be in charge of Kay's case. The three teens watched as she fled down the hall.
"Is Kay going to live?" Jessica asked, turning her eyes to Reese.
Slipping his arms over both girls' shoulders, Reese shook his head and whispered, "I don't know, I just don't know."
