Chapter 13:

Ever wonder?

AN: Ok, time out for a minute... this is just a little wording I thought
about just before I started this chapter. After the little speech thing
is gone, I'll be back to the story.

~*~*~**~*~*~

Ever wonder how deadly the human heart can sound? How it can change
someone's life forever? Have you ever wondered how the fates decide if they
want someone to live or not? Or, how about when someone screams for help,
not even sure if help can be done? And what the person might be thinking
as they are trying to save someone they love.

[AN: Okay, that was it... now back to the story. :)]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"HELP!" Tyler suddenly screamed. Just as he said this, a doctor
came rushing into the room.
"You guys have to leave." The doctor said firmly.
"But--" Dan sputtered.
"NOW!" The doctor yelled. Val and Tyler left the hospital room, hauling
Dan off after him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dan wasn't in the best mood that night. He was either pacing around
the room, or sitting on a chair, tapping his foot vigorously. A doctor
finally noticed him, and softened.
"Mr. Radcliffe, you need to get some sleep." The doctor said. Dan looked up
at him.
"No. How can I sleep? My fiancee might DIE tonight. We're supposed to get
MARRIED. How can I sleep if I know not if she lives?" Dan replied. The
doctor sighed, shook his head and walked away.
"The doctor's right you know," Val said softly.
"Yes, I know he is. But I won't be able to sleep." Dan snapped.
A couple hours later, a doctor came out. They had never seen this doctor before.
Dan, Tyler, and Val stoodup from their chairs.
"Well?" Dan pressed. The doctor sighed.
"I'm sorry, but she wasn't able to make it." He said. Dan started to shake
violently.
"H-How can Livvie not make it?" Tyler finally asked after about five minutes
of terrifying silence. The doctor suddenly came back to life.
"Livvie?" The doctor repeated.
"Yeah..." Tyler replied uncertainly. Confused, the doctor looked down at
the clipboard he was holding. He rolled his eyes.
"Crap. This has been one hell of a day. I'm sorry, I have the wrong person."
He said. Dan sat down, relieved. The doctor apologized once more and left.
"These doctors don't have it together today." Val said.
"No, they don't." Tyler replied.
Just then, another doctor appeared.
"Company of Livvie Connell?" The doctor asked. Everyone nodded. The doctor
sighed.
"I'm sorry, but Livvie's in a third level coma. We're not sure if she'll
make it." The doctor said. Val burst into tears. Tyler didn't move. Dan
covered his face in his hands, and began to shake.
"I'm sorry." The doctor said.
"That won't help any." Tyler snapped.
The hospital doors opened. Hank and Jamie walked in the room unsure
of what was going on.
"What's up with Livvie?" Hank asked.
"Sh-She's in a third level c-c-coma." Val replied. Hank and Jamie both sank
in chairs looking at the doctor in horror.
"If it helps, you can see her. But one at a time." The doctor said. Dan suddenly
looked back up and stood.
"I'll visit her." Dan said. Everyone nodded understandingly at him. He
walked into Livvie's room.

*****
Inside the room, Dan never noticed how... uncolorful it looked. He looked
over and saw Livvie lying in her bed. He sank into another chair and drew it
closer to her bed.
"Livvie," Dan started. "I feel really stupid doing this, but I want it to help.
I'm going to talk to you about things that I hope you remember. We met
at an auditioning. We both got the parts we wanted. Now we're actually going
to get married. It's not a movie. It's real life. And... I don't know what
the world would be like without you. You have brightened up my life; you've
always brightened me up. And... if that brightness goes out, I'll go with it.
Livvie, I love you. I want to be with you for LIFE. Don't leave me. Don't
leave." Dan said. He looked up at the ceiling. Soon after, he looked back
down, and almost passed out. Livvie's hand was covered on top of his own.

I really need to stop it. ;) Mwahaha
