Another update… Due to circumstances beyond my control this chapter is really very short.

Birthdays are supposed to be happy times. My birthday was today and was not happy in the slightest. It was my first birthday spent without my parents and sister. I also spent it in hospital receiving treatment for leukaemia. One of the reasons I feel so bad about the accident was that I felt it was fault as they were on their way to visit me (I was in hospital at the time) when the accident occurred. The only upside to my birthday was that I was given the complete first season of CSI on DVD by Family Services. I'll try to update soon but I've been really tired from the treatment.

This chapter is set about 3 months after the conclusion of the last chapter. Warrick, Nick and Greg were discharged from hospital just over two months ago. Lindsey however is still in hospital having only just recently been moved out of ICU after drifting in and out of conciseness for about 2 ½ months. She was on the side of the car that received the full force to the crash.

Chapter Five – Loving Lindsey

Lindsey was sitting up in her hospital bed propped up by numerous pillows, tears cascading down her cheeks, making no sound. She had reason to cry. She had recently found out that her Mum had died. Now she had no one who wanted her. Her Mum was gone and her Father who was down as her legal guardian if anything happened to her Mum was dead. To top it off no one had remembered her birthday. Normal visiting hours had finished but for the remaining graveyard shift CSI's their visiting hours had just begun. Slowly they bean to arrive. First as usual was her Uncle Grissom. Uncle Grissom who was prepared to go to court to win custody of her.

When they entered the room she could tell that something had changed. Something was different.

"I'm sorry Lindsey. I tried" was all Grissom said emotion evident in his voice

"No. No this can't be happening!" Lindsey cried she collapsed back into her pillows and began her battle to remain conscious. Her battle was short lived. Soon everyone's voices merged into one and she felt herself falling into blackness.

I'm really sorry It's so short but it was all I was really up to, health wise. Please press the adorable little blue/purple button and review.
