Here's the chapter

Chapter 3:

Connie's POV

It had been hours since the doctor had come in and the sun had gone down a while ago.. Where is Guy? I asked myself looking out the big window into the hall. There was no one in sight...I sighed sitting back down at my son's side.

"Dillion? Can you hear me?" I asked, he hadn't woken up yet. Julie had been here and left to go get the guys from the airport on their flight back from California, it was too quiet at the hospital, I thought as I got up and paced around the bed. I sighed loudly as I felt the cold from the hall come in. I turned quick to see Jesse Hall standing in the door.

"Jesse..." I walking quickly over to him giving him a half hug.

"Hey, Cons, I heard what happened from Averman..." He said as he let go of the hug quickly.

"Is Guy here yet?" He asked. I shook my head,

"No, he should be here any minute..." I said looking back at my son. Being Guy's best friend, he was also Dillion's Godfather as Banks was Emily's. He came in sitting down with Dillion.

"Hey there, Little man..." He said touching his hand. "Has Tammy been up yet?" He asked.

"No, I don't even know if she knows..." I said hugging myself to keep warm.

"I'll give her a call when I go..." He said of Dillion's Godmother. Tammy had been my best friend next to Julie for a long time. I'd know her longer than Julie since district 5 pee-wees in fact, so it wasn't hard to pick her to be Dillion's Godmother.

"Man, I know, Cons...You just gotta keep the faith.." He said rubbing my shoulder. I nodded at him as I began to cry.

"Connie?" Guy's voice came from the door as I turned and he rushed into my arms. "Baby...I'm so sorry I wasn't here.." He started as I cried into his shirt. He looked over at our son with a shocked expression on his face.

"What happened?" He asked looking at Dillion's head bandaged.

"He fell during recess..." I cried, letting go of him so he could go to Dillion's side,

"Buddy, can you hear me?" He asked taking his hand.

"He hasn't been awake since he fell..." I said sitting on the bed.

"Yo, Man...I'm sorry..." Jesse said placing his hand of Guy's shoulder for confort. Guy patted it before Jesse excused himself to join Julie and Adam in the hall. I just sat staring at Guy for a long time as he didn't move, didn't even blink, just stared at Dillion hoping he would open his eyes.

The wait was forever to get a doctor to answer any of our questions. It was like they were avoiding us purposefully. I sighed, putting my head in my hands as we waited. Guy hadn't moved from Dillion's side, it was almost as if he blamed himself. I didn't know what to feel. This morning, I had my perfect little family and now it was on the verge of going over the edge. I stood to stretch and decided to call Guy's parents,

"I'm gonna check on Emily.." I told him as he shook his head, still staring at Dillion. I walked out to the desk, rubbing my neck from exaustion.

"Can I use this phone? I have to check on my daughter.." I asked one of the nurses, she nodded. I picked up the phone and dailed the number. It rang two times before Mrs. Germaine answered,

"Hello?"

"Hey, Mom.." I said glumly, I still caught myself calling her Mrs. Germaine and then she'd remind me, that was me too. I'd always laugh.

"Connie, How's Dillion? Any news?" She asked.

"No, the doctors haven't told us anything.." I said annoyed. She sighed,

"I hate hospitals."

"I know the feeling.." I said leaning on the counter. "How's Emily?" I asked.

"She's fine, Charlie dropped her off after school and we told her we were having a sleep over...I went over to your house and got some clothes for her and school stuff for tomarrow. She's still asking where Dillion is, it's like she knows..." She said as I nodded.

"Okay, look, I don't want to tell her anything until we have to...I really don't know what I'll say..." I said starting to cry.

"Honey, it will be fine. Dillion is a Germaine, we live through a lot..." She said trying to give me confidence. I calmed a little.

"I know, Guy hasn't taken his eyes off him since he got here.." I said of her Son, my Husband.

"You and Guy need each other right now, go be with him. I'll take good care of Emily and call me if there's any news.."

"I will.." I said before hanging up. I stood at the desk for a minute with tears still in my eyes. I felt someone come up behind me and begin to rub my shoulders. I smiled as I assumed it was Guy but to my suprise as I turned around, it was Charlie...

Guy's POV

I sat there staring at my son,

"This is all my fault..." I said beginning to cry. "I shouldn't have left.." I said gripping his hand. "Please Dillion, just come out of this.." I said as the monitor beeped away. I sighed regaining my composer and suddenly realizing Connie was still gone. I stood and peeked out into the hall, seeing my wife and Charlie Conway, one of our best friends, standing in the hall. He had his hands on her face as if he was about to kiss her and he was looking at her in a way I didn't like...

Connie's POV

I quickly moved from Charlie's embrace as I moved back towards the room,

"Charlie, when did you get back?" I asked still tired.

"A few minutes ago, I'm sorry if I scared you.." He said as we entered the room Guy was still at Dillion's side.

"Hey man, How's my little buddy doing?" He asked of Dillion. Guy looked at him and I could swear Guy was gonna punch him but then the look disappeared.

"He still hasn't woken up..." Guy said sitting back. "We don't know anything right now." He said just as the doctor finally came in to examine Dillion.

Guy's POV

It had been two hours since the doctor had taken Dillion to get x-rays and every other test imaginable done. Charlie had finally left after making sure to show Connie some comfort. What was wrong with him? He had Linda and Connie and I are married. Maybe I'm just seeing things that weren't there, I am really stressed out. Charlie and Connie were best friends after all. I hoped...as they wheeled Dillion back into the room. Connie immediately sat down next to him and started to hold his hand and see if he was awake yet. I was a little pissed at her too, she didn't pick up on what Charlie had been doing? I asked myself...unless it was nothing. I just had to keep telling myself that.

Connie's POV

I sat staring at the monitor reading Dillion's heartbeat and Guy paced the room.

"Can you please stop that?" I asked a little annoyed we still didn't have any answers.

"Oh, so you're allowed to be mad but I'm not!" He said raising his voice. I looked at him.

"Look, Dillion was upset because you left.." I started.

"Oh, so what this is my fault now?" He asked.

"I'm not saying that.." I said looking back at Dillion.

"So what are you saying?" He asked still looking at me.

"Nothing I guess...What's with the attitude all of a sudden?" I asked as the doctor entered the room with a long face. I held my breath as he began to speak.

"Mr. and Mrs. Germaine, you're son has swelling of his brain caused by this..." The doctor said showing us some x-rays.. "When he hit his head he landed on the soft spot at the base of his head and in a sense, snapped his head forward like this." The doctor said touching his chin to his chest. "Causing one of his disks to slip in his neck it's pressing on a vein to his brain...we need to operate immediately..." I shook my head looking at Guy.

"Okay, well when can you go in?" Guy asked.

"The thing is...the only procedure for this kind of injury is considered experimental and won't be cover under either one of your insurances.." The doctor said closing his file. I looked at Guy.

"How much?" Guy asked without hesitation

"$10,000.." The Doctor said with a sigh. Guy looked at me. I stood in shock as Guy turned back to the doctor.

"How long do we have to get the money?" He asked.

"In Dillion's current state, as long as his vitals stay stable the vein's not completely blocked, if the disk moves we have trouble, he should be fine, but he won't wake up until it's done..." Guy shook his head,

"Okay, We'll figure it out..." Guy said taking me in his arms as the doctor left.

"Where are we gonna get $10,000?" I asked in tears.

"Shh... We'll find a way...I'm sorry for the way I acted" he said holding me close.

okay, so will they get the money and how? Guy has his own plans and Connie has hers...Plus will Charlie break up Connie and Guy or will they figure out what he's up to?

Preview of next Chapter:

Guy's POV

I stood looking at the woman that I swore to love forever,

"How can you say this is my fault?" I asked as she looked at me,

"Guy, You know how attached he can get to you.." I cut her off,

"So this whole thing is my fault? Well, if it is I'm gonna fix it!" I said storming out...
