Lucy parked the car in the parking lot of the hospital. She was amazed she didn't kill anyone on the way there; she had not been the best driver. Slowly, she entered and went to the front desk. However, she saw her uncle walk out of the other wing, and instead went up to see him.

"Eric.there was a car accident. Simon.Simon was hurt. He was in critical condition and fell into a coma. I am so sorry." Officer Michaels said. Eric couldn't believe the words he was hearing.
"A, a coma?" he asked. The officer nodded gravely. Lou began to cry.
"Yes. You may know with comas, it is very unsure what will happen to him next. He could come out of it in 10 minutes, or 10 years. He could never come out of it at all. What is also important is that he may not remember much at all. He may not even remember the accident, or the family, or you." Eric stared at him, his mind sinking into memories. Memories of a clever little blonde boy, who loved his family and his life with all his heart. A boy, who now would probably never lay eyes on his father again. He sat their in silence for awhile. Then the phone ran. Thinking it was Annie, he ran right to it, and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello? May I please speak to Simon?" a female voice said in a worried tone. Trying not to break down, Eric replied,
"I'm sorry, he isn't here. Who is this?"
"Mr. Camden, this is Dina. Simon's old friend. I don't know how to explain t, but I just got this awful feeling that something had happened to him. Please tell me he is okay." Eric sighed and began to tell Dina what had happened to her lost love.

Annie stared at the door of the pool hall. Simon, Eric, and Lucy were over an hour late. Mary tapped her on the shoulder and she turned.
"Mom, I just wanted to say, I've missed you over this last year. I think, I think it may be time to get my feet on the ground. For once, I want to look before I leap." Annie began to cry. Her prodigal daughter was coming home.

Lucy walked out of Doctor Hastings office. She had gone through with her abortion. She felt oddly hollow now, but had no regrets. Her uncle followed her out. A nurse came rushing towards them.
"Dr. Hastings, I have some bad news. Your nephew, Simon, was in a car crash. He is now in a coma." Lucy screamed.
"Simon?!?!!?! No! Why, why Simon!" she began to cry and collapsed on the floor. Hank helped her up; but he too was shaking. After some words of encouragement, he led her to the wing where Simon was.

Note: okay, I know ppl didn't want it to happen, but I had to make lucy have to abortion. It all comes together in the end. More reviews are begged for. (
