A/N: Dang I'm on a roll. Two chapters in one day. Go me. Now on to the story...
Seth, Summer, Marissa, Sandy, and Kirsten all burst into the hospital waiting room and ran up to Luke.
"Where is he? Is he okay?" asked Kirsten.
"What happened?" asked Sandy.
"He was turning a corner on his bike and the semi didn't see him. I was on the phone with him when it happened. I called 911. When the ambulance got there you couldn't even recognize him. He was all bloody and torn open, and his bones were all twisted in ways that.... I can't even describe how bad it looked. He was still conscious when I got there and I was talking to him as they put him in the ambulance. He........" Luke started to cry," He told me to tell Sandy and Kirsten thanks for everything. And he told me to tell Seth and Summer that he hoped that they were happy together. Then he blacked out and lost consciousness. When he was talking to me, it was almost like he knew that he wasn't going to make it. It was like he didn't even want to live," Luke sobbed.
Seth was frozen. "What have I done?" he mumbled.
At this moment Luke lunged at Seth to tackle him but Sandy held him back and yelled," LUKE! What has gotten into you?"
Luke stopped fighting and faced Sandy, "Did he tell you what he did? This is HIS fault! Ryan and Summer were dating and he..... I'll let him tell you. He's the one who should be lying on that hospital bed dying, not Ryan!!!!!"
Everyone gasped when Luke said that Ryan was dying.
"No, Seth didn't tell me what happened. So Seth? Would you like to explain?" asked Sandy.
As Seth explained what he and Marissa did Sandy's face went from hurt to surprised to angry.
When Seth was finished Sandy exploded.
"Are you telling me that Ryan is lying in that hospital bed fighting for his life because you and Marissa didn't like that fact that Ryan and Summer were dating?"
"Yes," Seth mumbled.
Marissa hit the floor and started sobbing. A few seconds later Summer sat down in the hospital chair and did the same.
About ten minutes later a doctor came out of the operating room and said," I'm looking for that family of Ryan Atwood?"
All six people walked up to the doctor.
"How is he?" asked Summer.
"He was hit by a semi. Both of his arms are broken. One leg is broken, his collar bone is broken, he received a severe head wound, there are several deep gashes on his legs and stomach. And this is the part we are most worried about.... There is severe internal bleeding," said the doctor.
Summer started sobbing again a Kirsten joined her.
"We are taking him to surgery right now and we'll update you as soon as we know something," said the doctor.
Sandy quietly added," What are his chances?"
The doctor looked at Sandy and the rest of the group with very sad eyes," They don't look very good,"
All of a sudden a long continuous beep was hear from Ryan's room. A young doctor came out and said to the older doctor," Dr. Bilson! His pulse is dropping fast!"
"Oh God," said Summer as she crumbled into Kirsten's arms. She started crying very heavily.
"Shhhhh. It's going to be okay. Ryan's strong, he'll pull through," Kirsten said trying to comfort Summer.
"You don't understand. I love him so much and he hates me because he thinks I cheated on him with his brother! I don't know what I'll do if he doesn't make it and I never get to set things right and tell him that I love him," Summer sobbed.
Sandy walked over to Seth and whispered in his ear, "You better hope he makes it, because if he doesn't, I'm not going to stop Luke from beating the crap out of you this time."
"Dad, I said I'm sorry," Seth whimpered.
"Seth, sorry doesn't cut it. This is way to big for a simple "sorry" to fix. Why didn't you think about the consequences before you did this? You know if Ryan does make it, he'll never forgive you for this," Sandy walked away as Dr. Bilson came into the waiting room.
"We got his pulse back and he's stable. We also stopped the internal bleeding. He's got six broken bones. His right leg, left foot, both arms, his left wrist, and his collar bone are all broken. He has several gashes that are going to need to be dressed daily. We're giving him a double amount of pain medication. Other than that, he's doing quite well. It's just going to be a long and hard recovery. He'll be able to go home in a few hours. Right now he's asking for......" Dr. Bilson paused as everyone's faces lit up in hopes that he was asking for them, the doctor continued, " Luke."
Luke thanked the doctor and walked over to Summer.
"I'll explain to him what happened. Don't worry," he told her.
"Thanks," she replied.
Luke walked down the hallway to Ryan's room. When he walked into the room he gasped. He could hardly recognize Ryan because he was so bruised. Luke regained his composure and walked over to sit down by Ryan's bed.
"Hey man. How are ya' feeling?" Luke asked.
"Like I got hit by a truck," Ryan replied with a smile.
"Well, I see you're feeling better smart ass," Luke joked.
"So who's all here?" Ryan asked.
"Well, Sandy and Kirsten, me, Marissa and Summer, and Seth."
Ryan's features tightened when Luke said Summer and Seth's names.
Luke noticed this and said," Look man. It's not what it looked like. While Marissa distracted you, Seth gave Summer a sleeping pill dissolved in lemonade. So when Marissa told you to go to the pool house, it looked like they were having sex, but Summer was asleep the whole time. She didn't know what was going on when she woke up," Luke explained, "She really does love you dude. She would never cheat on you. The whole time she has been here she's been crying because she thought you hated her."
"Is that what really happened? Or are you just saying that so I won't be mad at her?" Ryan asked.
"That's the truth dude I swear," he replied.
"Okay, thanks for telling me man. Can you send Summer in here please?" asked Ryan.
"Sure thing. I'm glad you're feeling better and that you're okay," Luke said as he walked out the door.
When he walked into the waiting room everyone looked at him expectantly.
"He wants to see Summer."
