Can You Hear Me?
"Lily, I think what would help you best if you and your friends take the day off of school" said the Mr. Noble the Guidance Counsellor. "I think what would be best for you guys, since you were such good friends with Mr. Brennan, is if you guys take a trip over to the hospital and visit him." Lily shook her head yes in a very slow and depressed way.
"C'Mon Lily" said Robbie standing from the chair he was sitting in. "Let's go over and see Ray. It's been over an hour since the accident. I'm sure he's doing fine!" Robbie not only tried to comfort Lily, he also tried to convince himself that Ray will be ok because by the way things were going, there might only be the three of them left.
As the gang walked to the hospital, people could tell that something was wrong as they passed. The people on the sidewalk could tell that this girl was obviously depressed the way she had her arms folded across her cheast. The way she watched the ground as she walked. Most of all, because of the tears that were rolling down her cheeks. They could also tell that the two guys with her were almost crying, but being guys, they held in their pain to try and comfort their friend.
Once at the hospital, Travis went up to the desk and asked the nurse for Ray's room number. The nurse told them that it may be anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes before Mr. Brennan could have any visitors.
"Great!" Travis said throwing his hands up in the air out of frustration. "What are we supposed to do to try and comfort Lily until then?"
"Lily is really depressed you know, she's blaming herself. We have a friend in their on death bed and all I can think is that it was my fault because I started the whole arguement, I can't believe this!" Robbie started then stopped. More tears formed in his eyes. This was a day he was never going to forget. It was the worst day of his, and the gangs lives.
After thirty-five minutes, Lily started pacing back and forth in the hall. She was taking it really hard. Robbie and Travis were worried themselves, not only for Ray's health, but Lily's too. They wanted more then anything in the whole world for Ray to be ok, but they also wanted to comfort Lily because she may be struck down with bad nerves, depression, or some other kind of mood disorder. This was not good for anyone who was involved.
"Hi, are you the kids waiting to see Mr. Brennan? You can go in and see him now. Be easy though, He's in a comma and we're not sure when he's going to come out of it. His parents and brother are really upset and they are in there so you might want to be a little more cheery for their sake. They're his family and more then likley they're taking it harder then anyone else. So, if you would like, I can show you the way." The Doctor waved his hand in the motion for the teens to follow him. He was showing them to Ray's room. Once inside Ray's room, they saw that there was a chair next to his bed that his mom was sitting. She was holding his hand and talking to him. His dad and brother were standing behind her with tears in their eyes.
"Hi..." Lily said with an obvious fake smile on her face. She was too hurt to smile and she couldn't play happy in front of his parents on the doctors orders either. She felt responsible for the accident.
"Hi Lily" Ray's mother flashed a fake mile back. It was basically in kindness towards Lily because she felt too hurt about her son to be happy. It was also to try and show Lily that she thought everything was going to be ok. Even though deep down inside she had mixed thoughts. Lily walke din and stood by her side. She looked at Ray with a sympathetic look. She couldn't be hurt anymore when she saw his face. He looked so peaceful laying there. She thought everything was going to be ok when she saw that even though he was in a comma, he still had a smile on his face. That was Ray, even though he didn't know it, he knew how to cheer someone up. All Lily could think was how much he looked like he was only sleeping. It made it seem like all her fears went away.
"Would you like some time alone with him?" Mrs. Brennan asked Lily. "I know how much he used to talk about you Lily, and I think it might do him better if you sat her and talked with him. You used to be his main subject, I don't know what it was, but he really liked you. I'll give you some time alone. Talk to him, maybe it'll help him." Mrs. Brennan patted Lily on the back and left the room, followed by the others who were standing around. Lily shed a tear when she heard what Mrs. Brennan had to say. She was really touched that Ray had talked about her so much. As Mrs. Brennan left, Lily started talking to Ray.
"Ray... Please don't blame me for this. I really love you you know. I wish I could take everything back I said, so here I am, trying to apologize now" Lily took Ray's hand in hers. She looked up at the ceiling.
"God..." Lily said, a tear forming in her eye. "God... I know this is strange for me to be talking to You. I know, I don't even know if there is a God out there. To be honest, I don't know what I believe. The thing is, Ray believes and I'm doing this for him. I don't know if I'm doing this praying thing right..." Lily shifted in her chair. She sort of felt uncomfortable doing this but she was doing it for Ray's sake and she knew that if there was a God out there, that Ray knew Him, and He wouldn't let Ray go through something like this. "But I'm doing this for Ray's sake" Lily continued. "I hate to see him in this condition and I know that if you're there, Ray knows and it isn't right for him to be in this place. I just pray to You that You will wake him up now. That he'll wake and just let me know that it's not my fault and that everything is going to be ok... and let me tell him that I love him so much!" Lily looked at Ray.
"Excuse me Mrs. Randall" Ray's doctor appeared in the door. "I'm sorry but you'll ahve to leave now, we need to conduct some more test."
"Alright..." Lily placed Ray's hand down next to him again. She couldn't help but linger awhile. As she left she brushed her hand along side Ray's bed. Then she felt something, Ray's hand had moved and touched hers, she looked back to see Ray's hand moved from the place she had put it.
"It's not you're fault..." Ray moaned. "God heard you, and so did I..."
At that, Ray's Doctor ran in and called in some other nurses and doctors. One of the nurses rushed Lily out and told her to come back tomorrow.
"It seems you have a lot of impact on this boys life. Right now he may be waking up and we need to do some test and stuff to see if everything's going to be ok. But please come back tomorrow. Maybe he'll be totally awake when you return." The nurse gave Lily a grin and then rushed back to Ray's room where she had just showed Lily out of.
