Monica and Andrew held hands as they walked to the ward where Scott was. They couldn't find Cherilyn so Andrew went to se the doctor about Scott. Monica sat on a chair and watched as Andrew spoke to the doctor.

Andrew told Monica to come outside as he had something important to tell her, "Is it bad news or good news?" she asked. Andrew sighed and looked at his friend and pulled her close to him. "It's bad news" he replied.

"Scott is having a lot of trouble breathing", he explained. "Cherilyn told us that" she replied "No, Monica, they said it's getting worse and even the machines aren't helping him much now" Monica looked at Andrew as a tear rolled down her cheek. "They don't know if he will get better or, if I'll have to take him home".

"Is he going to die?" asked Monica. "Well he's got an operation tomorrow morning, when the car crashed some glass went into his stomach, and they have to remove it" he replied. "Do you think he's going to die?" she asked. Andrew nodded, not wanting to lie to Monica.

Monica stood there, lost for words. "C'mon, baby, lets go home" he said, hugging her. All the way home, Monica hardly spoke. All the questions Andrew asked her were answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'.

"Would you like to go and see Tess?" Andrew asked her, "No, Andrew, I just want to go and lie down" she sobbed.

Andrew went into the bedroom and lay next to Monica. "Please stay," she whispered, "I will" he replied, "I won't leave you...ever".

When Tess arrived later that evening, Monica could hear Andrew explaining what had happened. "Honestly, Tess, I'm really worried about her" he sighed.

Tess went to see Monica. "Hey, angelgirl, are you Ok", "no" she sobbed "Scott is going to die, I know he is". Andrew came and sat on the bed, and gently kissed her, making her smile a little.

Andrew and Tess stayed with Monica for most of the evening. "Was the accident anyone's fault?" she asked, "no, baby, it wasn't" replied Tess.

The next morning, at 10am, the phone rang. Andrew got up and answered it. Monica could tell something serious was wrong by the look on Andrew's face. "What is it?" she asked, "it's Scott" he replied, sitting on the bed next to Monica, "what has happened?" she asked, her voice full of worry. "Scott's heart stopped twice during the operation, we have to get there quickly".

Monica and Andrew got in Tess's car and drove to the hospital. Monica was in tears by the time they got there. Andrew parked the car and they ran to Scott's ward. Cherilyn was sitting there crying. "Are you Ok?" asked Andrew, "Scott's dead, he died a few minuets ago" she sobbed.

Monica turned to Andrew and then ran out of the ward, Andrew had no choice than to run after her. "Monica, wait!" he shouted, but she just carried on running, down the stairs and out of the hospital.

Monica had no idea where she was going but she still didn't stop, and she hadn't heard Andrew calling her. She found herself in a field next to the hospital, but Andrew had lost her while she was running through the car park, and he had no-idea where she was.

Andrew sighed and looked around, he knew Monica was upset, but didn't have a clue where she would go. He sat on a bench and waited "Oh father, please help me find Monica". He decided to go back and see Cherilyn.

"Where is Monica?" she asked, Andrew shook his head "I haven't got a clue". "I think you should look for her, I'll be ok." She said, still crying. "Have you got any idea where she would go?" he asked, "there are a few places around here, there is a park, a few fields, a church..." "That's it, I think I know where she may be," Andrew said as he got up. "Where is the church?" "It's near the field, next to here" she replied.

Monica sat in the long grass, in the far distance she could see mountains, she wondered how far away they actually were. She could see a church at the far end of the field, and she wondered where Andrew was.

Andrew eventually found the church. He carefully opened the door, and looked inside, but he couldn't see Monica. He wondered where else she could be, he was annoyed at her for running off, but he also loved her and was worried about her.

He walked slowly back through the field, looking at the floor. Monica could see him "Andrew!" she shouted. He looked up and ran to see her.

"Why did you run off like that?" he asked. "I had to get out of there, Andrew" she sobbed "I am so upset about Scott, I didn't think, I just ran" she sobbed. Andrew hugged her "I know" he said softly. "C'mon lets go and see Cherilyn," he said. "No, Andrew, I'm staying here" she replied. "Monica, this is pathetic, you haven't eaten anything for two days, you ran off, I'm going back to the hospital". Monica looked at him, half annoyed, half wondering why he had spoken to her like that. "It's over Andrew, out relationship is over" she sobbed.

She got up and walked off "I'm going to find somewhere else to stay tonight" she shouted, "You do that" he replied.
