AUTHOR'S NOTE

Thanks to those of you that reviewed :D I'm glad to know people like my story. This may or may not be my last chapter for this story, it's all up to you. At the end of the story there will be a vote; please vote, or else I won't know what to do with my story.

Paige bit her lip as she stepped into the hospital room. Everything was silent, except for the constant, annoying beep of the heart monitor. She walked softly, pulling a chair up next to the hospital bed, where she could see Spinner...her Spinner, lying there. He looked awful.. his face was bruised and scarred, he had a broken arm and the other didn't look too pleasant. He was smiling, though. How could someone in so much pain be smiling? She wished she knew. She ran the backside of her hand gently across his cheek, biting her lip a bit harder. She took in some air, looking down. "I know you can't hear me, Spin." She said, pausing for a moment. "But I love you. I'm sorry for yelling at you... I just missed you so much. Loving you was hard over those months, Spinner." She said, taking another pause. She could feel tears stinging the back of her eyes.

"This is all my fault.. you being in the hospital. It's not fair, why should you be in so much pain when all of this is my fault?" Paige said, taking the stuffed white bear, holding a silk stuffed heart that said I love you, out of her purse and hugging it tight to her chest. "If I hadn't told you that it was okay for you to leave, you never would have. I should have known at the time that you weren't always the best at reading between the lines." She looked around, leaning over and planting a soft kiss onto his lips, stroking his hair somewhat. She covered her face with her hands, beginning to cry softly as she remembered all those good times that they had. He was a great person.. and a wonderful boyfriend. He was always there when someone needed help.. and now, because of her, he might not be there again at all. Paige stood up and looked at Spinner again, taking in a sniff. She turned on her heel and left the hospital room, closing the door behind her. She looked through the window at Spinner once again, pulling on her jacket for the hospital was quite chilly.

Back at the hotel, the manager's room...

Sam, their manager, paced back and forth, running a hand through his hair. He paused for a moment, turned and looked at Craig, Marco, and Jimmy, opened his mouth to say something, then turned again and began pacing once more. "Why the hell did you guys let him run ahead? There could be assassins out there.. you never know!" Sam said, almost shouting, wondering if perhaps the whole thing was on purpose.

"He was going to his girlfriend.. we didn't think it was any big deal. Don't get mad at us, Sam! I mean, we didn't think anything would happen!" Craig protested.

"You could have run up ahead WITH him!" The manager replied, biting his lower lip.

"Sam... he was gonna see his GIRLFRIEND. I doubt he wanted us to tag along." Jimmy said, glaring somewhat. Sure, maybe Spinner had stolen his MP3 Player, but they still made up. Even though they weren't as close as they were before, that didn't matter. His friend had gotten hit by a car just the night before. They were lucky Sam had been asleep at the time, or else they would have been up all night, going through his lectures. Marco didn't know what to say, he was still shocked from it all.

"What are we gonna do? We can't cancel the show NOW.. we've sold too many tickets. We're going to have to find a replacement drummer, and fast."

They looked everywhere for signs of drummers with musical talents. After a few hours, they finally gave up and passed out fliers and such. Then they held auditions, but not anyone that came really had the talent they were looking for. A few were good, but they played a different kind of music. Once they tried to play rock, it was awful.

Sam fell onto a couch, letting out a sigh. "We're never going to find anyone." The time for the concert was nearing, also.

"We could just postpone it." Marco finally said, giving a shrug. All this time he hadn't said a word, just shook his head or nodded. Sam smacked his forehead, letting out another sigh -- only this one being of relief.

"Of course! Why didn't I think of it? Oh, nevermind me.. why didn't you say it earlier, Marco?" He said, blinking. Marco gave another shrug. Finally, they could rest. They were pretty exhausted, after all, and it was getting late. They'd probably go to check on Spinner the next morning.

The next morning, at the hospital again...

Paige had returned to the hospital. She was just outside of Spinner's room, but this time Hazel was there. Hazel lightly touched her shoulder. "It's okay, Paige." She said, reminding the blonde girl that she'd be there if she needed a shoulder to cry on. Paige took in a deep breath, stepping into the hospital room and taking her usual seat next to his bed. She didn't say anything this time, but just sat there for a while. Suddenly, the heart monitor started acting quite strangely. The doctors came rushing in, telling Paige to leave. She ran out, looking at Hazel. She dropped to the ground sobbing. "Paige.." Hazel didn't know what to say this time. She couldn't lie to her best friend.

"No..no matter what happens.. I'll.." She stopped, letting the sobs take over for a moment. "I'll always be ... l o v i n g ... h i m."

I know this chapter was pretty bad, but I'm sorry. There wasn't much I could do, and I had to try and make it longer. Now is time for a little vote, or else.. well, then I won't know what to do with this fic!

Okay, here are your choices:

A) Spinner lives, but he has a amnesia

B) Spinner lives, Dean comes to Degrassi

C) Spinner dies, thus the end of the story

D) Spinner dies, and Paige has to learn to how to go on.
