* I don't own anything, so don't sue me



Chapter 2


Something's wrong


"Mom, please let me drive to The Digital Bean I'll come straight back! Please, please, please!"

Lizzie begged her mom. Truthfully she just wanted to see what it was like driving without her mom yelling at her the whole time.


Finally her mom caved, "Fine, but you have to go straight there and come straight back, okay?"


"I promise!" she said as she grabbed the keys from her mom and ran out the door.


"Be careful!" her mom yelled as Lizzie slammed the door.


Miles away.....


Gordo decided he should probably get to bed early since he had to travel all the way home tomorrow. He lied in his bed and just thought, not about going home, or about the film festival, the thing on his mind was as usual, Lizzie. Finally he rolled over and went to sleep, he had a long way to drive the next day.


Miles away....


Lizzie drove along the highway with the radio turned up singing along. The only thing that could have made her happier was if Gordo and Miranda were there. She slowed down as she came to a four way crossing and looked both ways, just as her mom, and needless to say Gordo, had reminded her over and over. No other cars were coming so she begin pulling forward again slowly. Just as she took off she heard tires squealing. She looked and saw a red Cavalier speeding towards her, she screamed and then everything went black.


Back at the McGuire house...


"Hello." Mrs. McGuire said answering the phone.


"Is this Mrs. McGuire?" asked a very unfamiliar voice.


"Yes it is, how may I help you?" she inquired.


"It's about your daughter, Elizabeth, it seems she has been involved in an accident," said the stranger on the other end of the line.


"No, it can't be my Lizzie you must have her confused with someone else," her voice shaking, praying that it really was some kind of mix up. Unfortunately, there was no mix up.


"She is here at the hospital, we need you and your husband to get here as soon as possible."


"We'll be right there." Jo said trying her hardest not to cry.


"Sam! Sam!" she yelled as loud as she could as she began to sob.


"What is it?" Sam asked as he ran to the living room where Jo just stood there sobbing.


"It's Lizzie, she's been in an accident we need to get there as soon as we can." she said between sobs.


"Let's go." Sam said. "Matt!" he yelled.


"What's up?" Matt asked after seeing tears in his dads eyes and hearing his mom's sobs.


"Lizzie's been in accident, and we need to get to the hospital now." his father said.


"Is she gonna be okay?" Matt asked.


"We don't know yet." said Sam. "We need to hurry, come on."


They all jumped in the car and Sam drove as fast as he could.


As soon as they got there, Jo tried to regain her composure and began asking the lady at the front desk where Lizzie was.


When the lady replied, "She is on the ICU, on the top floor."


Jo's knees gave out from under her and Sam had to catch her before she fell to the ground.


"Come on," he said, "She needs us to be there for her now."


She couldn't speak but Jo nodded and began walking towards the elevator.


As soon as they got to the ICU unit, Sam found the nearest doctor and asked if he knew the doctor that was treating Lizzie.


"That would be me," said a doctor standing near by who had overheard. "I'm Dr. Wellings."


"How bad is she, is she gonna be okay?" Matt quickly asked.


"We don't know yet," replied Dr. Wellings, "She is in a coma, she could have suffered brain damage, or possibly be paralyzed. We won't know until she wakes up. We are going to do everything we can to try to get her to wake up but we may need your help."


"What can we do?' Matt piped up again, since his parents weren't able to speak at this point.


"Well we need you to first of all to have someone she knows in the room with her at all times. Even if she can't really here what you're saying talk to her, this could help wake her."


"All right, thank you so much for your help,"was all Mrs. McGuire could say before she started sobbing again.


Matt saw at this point that his parents needed some kind of direction, they didn't know what to do but stand there. "Okay, you guys go be with Lizzie, I will go call Miranda and Gordo. I'll be in there in a few minutes.


Jo and Sam both nodded and numbly walked towards the room where their daughter was.


Matt calmly walked to the pay phone and dialed Miranda's cell phone number.


"Hello," Miranda said.


"Miranda, its's Matt. Lizzie's been in a car accident can you get here anytime soon?" Matt asked.


"How bad is she?"


"They don't know, she is in a coma, they won't know until she wakes up," Matt said as his voice began to shake, up until this point he had kept his cool, then it all hit him like a ton of bricks, and he had to try his hardest not to start crying.


"I'll be there as soon as I can," Miranda said with tears in her eyes,"But do me a favor."


"Anything," Matt said.


"Let me tell Gordo."


"Okay," Matt said as he hung up the phone and a single tear rolled down his cheek.


Miranda quickly dialed Gordo's number,"Gordo, Lizzie was in a car wreck, and she is in a coma, they don't how bad it is but I need you to get their as soon as you can." she said before he could even say hello.


Gordo dropped the phone, not wanting to believe what he had just heard. He quickly grabbed his things, ran to his car and started driving back towards Hillridge as fast he could.


"Hello? Gordo are you there?" Miranda said on the other end of the line. She hung the phone up and started weeping.
