Chapter 4- Good or Bad?

"Ok," Lana whispered just getting the news on what happened to Lu.

Lana stared at the door knowing that any minute Lu's most prized possessions would run through the door. She kept thinking how Aniesha could do something like that to someone. Lu was Lana's best friend of all time and just as tears started to well up in her eyes Peter tapped on her shoulder and told her he just found out and that he was going upstairs to wait.

Lana didn't say anything and Peter said, "Hey, it's going to be OK," and gave Lana a hug and left.

Lana sat back down wiping the tears that had fallen and stared at the door.

"Lana, where is she," Mark and Mickey asked simultaneously charging through the clinic doors.

"Guys, clam down. She is in surgery and Dr. Campbell said that we could wait in the OR waiting room."

They all ran to the waiting room in lightening speed and met Peter and Nick there.

"A surgical nurse said that Dr. Campbell and Dr. Simpson just started operating," Peter said filling them in.

"What happened to my mom," Mark asked confused and distraught.

"Mark, Mickey, Lu got shot in the stomach by one of her mentally unstable patients in her apartment," Nick replied softly.

Mark propped his elbows on his knees and put his hand in his face ready to cry but then pulled himself together.

"Will she be OK," Mickey questioned worried about his girlfriend.

"I am very optimistic." Nick answered.

An hour passed and then two hours and still no word form anyone. Then Dr. Campbell came walking out the OR doors not ready to bring news to everyone. Everyone stood up worried about what she was going to say.

Andy took a deep breath and explained, "Lu is stable. The bullet tore through her spleen and punctured her kidney and liver pretty bad. Her spleen had to be removed but she can live without that and I am pretty sure she will recover from the others to. I should tell you that she is in a coma though."

Mark looked at Andy terrified.

"I know this is a lot to take in but Lu has a very good chance of a full recovery. Would you like to see her?" Dr. Campbell asked knowing the answer herself.

They all walked up to Lu's room. Mark walked up to his mom's side and grabbed her hand and kissed her on the cheek. They all sat around the rest of the day waiting and waiting for Lu to wake up.
