A special thanks to my friend, Irene, who pressured me into writing one chapter per day. She is also gave me the idea for this chapter. And Irene, for the millionth time, I'm not killing her!
Friends Forever?
Chapter sevenDanny watched as the paramedics wheeled Mary into the ambulance.
"Sir, would you like to ride in the ambulance with her?" asked one of the paramedics.
"Yeah."
At the hospital...It has been an hour. Mary was still in the hospital. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
A doctor walked out of a room and towards Danny.
"Mr. McCoy?"
"Yes?"
"Miss Connell has fallen into a coma."
Danny stood there, frozen in shock.
"Mr. McCoy, are you all right?"
"Yeah. Can I see her?"
"Yes. She's in Room 208."
"Okay thanks." Danny got up out of his seat and walked towards Mary's room. Once he opened the door, he saw that she had tubes down her throat and life support standing next to her bed in case of an emergency.
Without any tubes she looked so peaceful.
Danny felt a few tears fall down his cheek. He grabbed her hand. He held her soft hand tightly. He didn't want her to leave. He rubbed her hand gently. He felt an impact on his hand. He jerked up and looked at her face. But the same expression was there.
His heart had jumped when he thought she had had squeezed his hand. But now it rested in the same place, when he had found out that she was in a coma.
Danny's cell phone rang. "McCoy."
"The time has come."
Danny stood up. "Who is this?!"
"The time has come," the voice repeated.
"If you lay a hand on Mary, I swear—"
Before he could finish the line was cut off and the lady with that annoying voice came on.
"If you would like to make a call, please hang up and try again."
"Damnit!" Danny closed his phone with frustration. He kicked the chair he had been sitting in across the floor. "Ed needs to know about this."
Danny dialed Ed's office number.
"Deline," the old man answered.
"It's Danny. Something happened to Mary."
"What happened?"
"She was in a car accident."
"Is she going to be okay?"
"I don't know; she's in a coma."
"What?" said Ed in disbelief. "You better not be messing with me, kid."
"I'm not."
"What hospital she at?"
"St. John's Memorial." (an: made it up)
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, kid."
Danny hung up his phone and looked at the gorgeous woman who was lying in the hospital bed. "I love you, Mary Connell."
In Mary's Head...She was seeing butterflies and beautiful rainbows. In the distance she could see a swing set and two little children.
"Danny," Mary said aloud. But no one could hear her, because this was only in her mind.
The little boy that was next to the swing set kissed the little girl that had been next to him.
"My first kiss," said Mary, "In fourth grade behind the swings."
Another scene flashed into her head. She saw an image of a young man and woman. They were talking about something.
She knew what that memory was. It had been the time when Danny had told her he loved her, and then went into the Marines.
"I love you Mary Connell," said the man to the woman. They kissed and the memory faded.
One last memory came into her mind. A man and woman were eating and talking at a restaurant.
"How about I bribe you with a date?" asked the man.
She knew that was Danny. That scene had happened just earlier today.
Back in Reality...Danny had fallen asleep. He was worried about the love of his life. What if she died? How could he live without her? He just couldn't.
Danny awoke to a noise coming from Mary's heart monitor.
The beeping was going way too fast.
"That can't be normal."
The monitor stopped beeping. Danny looked back at the monitor. It had flat lined.
