Chapter 7: Old Girlfriend and Connor's Fight
One day, Kira went back to the hospital for her daily visit when she saw Krista in his room. "Krista, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I just came to see if Connor was okay," Krista replied.
Kira crossed her arms. "If I remember correctly, you had dumped Connor for another guy," she reminded.
"I know what I did to Connor. What I saw in the magazines with the pictures of you and him, you both seem to be very happy," Krista commented.
Kira sat next to Connor's bed and sighed. Krista walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I saw the way Connor looked at you throughout high school. He always loved you," she assured.
"I thought I loved Trent in high school, but then Connor was there when Trent broke up with me. That was when I realized that I loved him and not Trent," Kira murmured.
She held onto Connor's hand with a sad sigh. "I can never love someone else, I can only love Connor," she whispered. She placed a kiss on Connor's forehead and touched his now healed face. His injuries had healed; all they needed now was for Connor wake up. Kira felt tears press against her eyes again. "I feel like it's my fault that Connor is like this. I shouldn't have let Trent into our house. Connor had every right to be mad at me," she babbled.
"Kira, this isn't your fault. It isn't Trent's fault either. This was an accident, Kira. Connor loves you more than anything in his whole life. He always will love you. You'll never be able to get him to leave you when he wakes up," Krista assured.
Kira didn't answer and looked at him. "Our last conversation that we had before Trent came back was that we were talking about getting married and having kids. If Connor never wakes up, that dream will never come true," she stated. Krista placed a hand on Kira's shoulder and they both looked at the man that meant so much to them.
After visiting the hospital, Krista and Kira went back to her apartment and saw that Trent was gone. "He's at a meeting about his comic book," she informed. Krista sat down and Kira went to get some coffee.
(In the Hospital)
Connor's heart monitor was beeping like it should be. However, Connor was fighting to wake up.
(Connor's Fight)
Connor looked around to find himself to find himself near a lake. "Where am I?" He asked. He heard someone land behind him and turned around to find a young woman standing there.
She had long black hair, brown eyes, she was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt, and a yellow headband was in her hair.
"Who are you?" He asked. The woman walked over to him with a smile.
"I am Trini Cranston. You must be Connor McKnight," she replied.
"Yes, I am Connor," Connor assured.
"You have to wake up."
"What happened to me?"
"You were in a terrible car crash and have fallen into a coma. You've been in a coma for three months now."
Connor was in disbelief. "How do I wake up?" He asked.
"Follow me," she replied.
Connor followed Trini and then Connor saw a man working in the garage when two kids came into the garage. "Who is this?" He asked. Trini smiled as she looked at the family.
"They are my family. The man is my husband, Billy, and those are our kids, Travis and Brittany," she replied.
As they walked along, Connor because curious. "Trini, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to you?" He asked.
"I was in a car crash when my son Travis was eight and Brittany was seven. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt and I had died," she replied.
"Oh, sorry," he apologized.
"We still have time to save you, Connor."
They came to his window and he looked through to find Kira and Krista talking. His eyes settled upon the love of his life. "You still have a future with this girl, Connor. All you have to do is wake up," she assured. Connor looked at Kira and then he listened to Krista talk to her.
"Don't worry, Kira, Connor will wake up," Krista assured.
Connor looked at Trini. "How do I wake up?" He asked. Trini smiled and pointed to a door.
"You have to go down there and open that door," she replied.
"That's it?" He asked.
Trini nodded and watched him go. "Connor, wait," she insisted. He stopped and she walked over to him. "Please, find my family and give Brittany this. I was going to give it to her on her birthday," she informed. She placed a locket into his hand and sighed. "Tell Billy and our kids that I love them so much," she insisted.
"You have nothing to worry about. thank you," he assured.
Trini smiled and shook her head. "No, thank you," she insisted. She then watched as he left.
Connor walked down the hall and opened the door. He entered a bright white light.
