The real reason-Chapter7 Near the end

Hiya, I'm back Once again I would just like to thank all of my reviewers and I surprised about how many have reviewed, blushes Just so you know I think this story will go on for a while after I stupidly accepted Becky's challenge, I know you don't need to say it...I'm blonde! Just tell me if you think its getting boring and I'll spice it up a bit! Well enjoy...

Noah was staring blankly at the ceiling, he was trying to remember the reason why he pushed Kit away in the first place, he couldn't help but think that if he had given in to temptation and confessed his feelings for her she wouldn't be in this life-threatening situation. He had been racking his brain, trying to think of the reason that made him tell her he didn't want her...

Flashback

Kit was casually walking into the DIC; there was a reason she was there although no one knew it...yet. "Hey Noah" She spoke to Noah's turned back. He turned and smiled at her, "What're you doin' here?" he asked with a suspicious smile on his face. She returned his smile and with no words she leant forward and pressed her lips upon his own. At first he seemed shocked by her sudden display of affection but soon forgot about everything and relaxed deeper into the kiss. There was a crash from the office and Noah jumping back to his senses rushed out to see what the problem was, Kit followed him. The fuse ball apparently had swallowed and kids cash and not spat out the ball, which resulted in it being tipped over by the troublemaker and had all the cash stolen out of it. After a few minutes of repairing the damage and muttering curses about "Stupid Kids with no respect" Noah had finally got the fuse ball table up and running again. He went back to the office and saw Kit sitting in his chair, her legs resting on the table and was immediately reminded of the earlier events. He found himself going red and soon went as red as a tomato when he saw that Kit was grinning at him, her face colour staying exactly the same. Noah found himself praying for either Kit to look away or for him to be swallowed up by the ground.

Kit however found this cute and stood up immediately heading towards his lips once again. They were millimetres away, Noah could feel Kits sweet breath and all he could think about was how it tasted like chocolate, he longed to close the gap between them but quickly came to his senses and turned his head the other way whispering softly, "Kit, you know we can't...its" although Kit didn't hear the rest as she quickly brushed passed him using all her will power not to cry. As soon as she got out however she quickly broke down and collapsed towards the ground. An old lady came towards her asking if she needed help, She looked into the woman's eyes before leaping up and running towards the beach, all she wanted was to be alone right now. Half-blinded by tears she ran down to the beach, she wasn't sure what she was going to do when she got there but it was the first place that came to her mind. As soon as her feet touched the sand she fell to the ground, attracting attention from all over because of her sobbing. That was when she decided that she was leaving. "This is going to be hard," she thought.

End flashback

How could he have been such an idiot? Now he thought about it the reason was pitiful. He couldn't believe he had risked all of this, he couldn't believe he had risked Kit. The doctor came out of Kit's hospital room then, Noah rushed up to him followed by Scott, Beth and Rhys. "What's happened? Is she okey? Can I see her?" Noah blurted out all these questions at him, the doctor looked up slowly and asked rather calmly whether he was a relative. "Well...no" Noah stumbled, "but-" The doctor cut him of, "Then I am afraid I cannot give out any information, Err...Mr and Mrs Sutherland, could I have a word please? "Yes, sure" Rhys answered; Noah opened his mouth in protest but soon closed it as Beth said she would fill him in. Noah watched their turned backs, he sighed and turned around to be greeted once again by Hayley. "Hail's," started Noah, "I just wanna thank you for just being h-here, while all this is happ-" "I know..." she soothed him, Noah had just realised he hadn't thanked her for being there for him. "I'm not sure I could have got through this without you" She just smiled held him, she knew he was dreading what the doctor would say, but she couldn't think of anything comforting to say.

Minutes past and Noah was becoming more and more anxious, Hayley could feel him getting tense. She wished they would hurry up.

She was distracted by a swish of over alls at the end of the corridor. The doctor had returned followed again by Beth and Rhys...Rhys had a strained expression on his face and looked as if he was going to pass out and Beth was silently crying. Hayley didn't know whether to tell Noah hey had come back, he was asleep again but by the looks on Beth and Rhy's faces, she didn't want to wake him up. "What happened?" Hayley said immediately. Rhys was the one who answered, "The doctor said that she had an arrest, its like a s-shock and well long story short really, the next 24hours are extremely imperative to her, if she doesn't come round then...well there going to have to shut down the machine..." he finished somewhat lamely. It took a while for this to sink in, how was she going to tell Noah she thought desperately. It turned out that she didn't need to however as she heard a gasp behind her and turned to see Noah wide-eyed, she closed her eyes quickly wishing she had not seen the look on Noah's face at that moment. The pain in his eyes, the droop of his head...she would be haunted by that look, it was the same look she had given Noah when he had collapsed due to his meningitis. The feeling that she would never be whole, that her life had ended. She opened her eyes when Rhys spoke again, "You can see her now" Noah swallowed hard and glanced at Hayley, she had her eyes closed. He wished now more that ever that Hayley would look at him. It always gave him confidence; he wasn't sure whether she knew how much he depended on her. With one last look at Hayley he slowly moved into Kit's room. The first thing he noticed was how many wires were connected to her. He sat down beside her and all he did for the first few minutes was listen to the rhythm tic beeps from the life support machine and all the time thinking what would happen if the beeps happened to stop. He forced himself not to think about it. A single tea rolled down his face and landed upon Kit's cheek. Without thinking he reached out and wiped it away, "Kit?" he started rather strained, "Its me, Noah...look, I don't know whether you can hear me or not-" He soon became more confident and talking to her became easier. "I just couldn't risk letting go of you without telling you-" He took a deep breath. "I do love you, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, I'm in love with you Kit and I just realised it when you had gone, Mom always said that you don't realise how much something means to you until its gone, that's how her and Dad split up...and I don't want that to happen to us Kit. What I'm trying to say is that even through everything that's has happened I still think we may have something Kit...but you need to wake up Kit, you need to wake up and tell me that everything is gong to be alright" She remained motionless. He buried his head in Kit's sheets; he couldn't believe that this was happening, he didn't know how he would cope without Kit...he needed her, he'd go under without her. He reflected on the past few days, his hope had gone up and down, first he was happy, then embarrassed, next worried, then swiftly moving onto anxiousness, then upset and worried and now this, he didn't know what he was feeling anymore, he was just... Numb, he thought quietly to himself. Then, without explanation his hopes soared. "Noah?" came a feeble voice. Noah's head shot up and locked eyes with Kit, a smile appeared on his face for the first time in a long time!
