Kaci had been in the ER for what seemed liked forever. All these doctors were running around, but no one would tell Simon or Eric anything that was happening.
"What's taking so long?" Simon asked his father countless times. But all Eric would look away, he couldn't for the life of him meet his son's eyes, knowing if he'd listened to him sooner all this could have ended differently.
Finally a doctor came up to them, Simon recognised him as the doctor when he'd been in a surfing accident. "Hi, I'm doctor Jacob," he began. He was talking directly to Eric, almost ignoring Simon. "Kaci has suffered some pretty horrific injuries."
The rest was a blur, all Simon could hear was "horrific injuries" to him that said everything. "Can I see her?" he asked, unaware the doctor hadn't finished explaining.
Dr. Jacob sighed; Simon took it as a bad sign. Dr. Jacob must have seen his expression change, "You can go, but only for a minute. She's sleeping."
Simon nodded and walked in the direction Dr. Jacob pointed. When he entered the room in the ER he felt like he was walking into a science fiction movie, there were all these scary looking machines in there. His breath caught in his throat as he saw that Kaci was hooked onto one.
He noticed he'd stopped walking, and continued up to her bed. She looked at her, she looked so peaceful. Yes there were braises on her face, and her head was bandaged. But to him it didn't matter, she was beautiful.
He bent and kissed her lips, they were soft, just like he'd imagined them to be. He laughed a little to himself, if someone had told him at the end of the school year that in a couple of months that he'd be dreaming of kissing Kaci Carlson he'd have thought they were from another planet.
He pulled up a chair, and sat down holding her hand in his. He felt her hand tighten a little around hi fingers, he looked at her instantly, and here eyelids were fluttering. She opened her eyes and smiled at him, "Hey," she whispered.
Simon smiled, and called a nurse over. The nurse checked her over, and went to get Dr. Jacob.
"I thought I'd lost you," Simon told her, shocked by how weak his voice was, and the tears forming in his eyes.
"You haven't," she assured him.
"If only I had been there sooner, I could've." Simon began but Kaci cut him off.
"He would've killed you," she told him. "But it's ok now, it's over."
"I'm sorry," he told her.
"Don't be," she looked into his eyes and he returned his gaze. Never in his life had he seen anyone more beautiful, and he leaned over and kissed her again. She kissed him back, it was a long sweet kiss, and for the first time everything seemed all right in the world, and nothing could ever go wrong.
