"Taylor!" Karen screeched.
"Karen," She responded running over to Karen and stumbled from her high heels on the way, "How's baby sis?"
"They won't tell us anything. They will only tell immediate family over the age of thirteen."
"All right I'll go find out." Taylor said and then walked over to the main desk.
Karen watched as the doctor walked over to the fragile adult and talk. Taylor nodded her head a few times and then walked back to where the group was. Carson, Nathan and Karen stood up to receive the news.
"The doctor said that Haley's body went into shock when the car hit and soon after went into a coma. They have her on some medication right now that will keep her stable but it will only last a few more hours and then it's a waiting game." Taylor said slowly while looking everyone in the eyes.
Carson clasped into his chair without another look at his aunt.
"Can, we go see her?" Karen asked
"The doctor doesn't want us to crowd the room in case something happens so for now we can only visit one at a time and if it's OK with everyone I think Carson should go first." Taylor smiled.
Carson looked up from the floor before he spoke, " I don't think I can. I don't know what to say."
"You can do it Carson, just talk to your mom like you would normally talk to her." Karen encouraged.
"OK I guess I'll go." Carson walked reluctantly into the second hospital room on the left and sat down in the chair next to the bed. He heard the beeps of the heart monitor and began to talk softly.
"Hey mom! How are you? Never mind ignore that question." Carson said with a forced laugh. "But, ugh, at school I had to do research about coma's and I read that they are when you are between living and dead and it's up to you to decide which way to go. Well, I guess I'm trying to say that I want you to be OK. I need a mom. I don't want to lose you I need you because who else will make me study or correct me when I use my grammar wrong or who will talk to me when it seems like the world is going all wrong. Kind of like it is now." Carson sighed. " So just come back to me mom. I love you." Carson kissed Haley on the cheek and solemnly left the room with a quick look back.
Karen met Carson at the end of the hallway gave him a big hug. Taylor walked over and mouthed to Karen that she was going into Haley's room and Karen nodded.
Taylor walked over to the side of the bed. " Hey little sis! This is a first. Usually it's you trying to talk to me when I'm laying someplace. It's because I'm passed out but close enough. Anyways I'll keep this short, so that it's easier for both of us, so just get better. I love you and I miss you. I'm sorry I haven't been around for the past few years or actually your whole life but if, I mean when you get better I will be around a lot more. I wan to be in your life and in Carson's. I don't want to be the sister that always screws up. I'm 35 for god's sake. I just, I've never really found the guy that was meant for me so I try to drowned it out with beer but that just makes me screw up. You actually don't know how lucky you are to have Carson and even Nathan. So you have too much to live for so just you have to get better Hales. I love you." With talking more than she intended Taylor wiped her tears and walked back out into the now crowded waiting room.
Nathan was waiting at the door when Taylor left and went in when she was out of sight. Nathan went and sat in the chair next to Haley. He didn't say anything and just watched her and listen to the beeps of the machine. He was there for about 15 minutes speechless until the doctor walked in.
"Sir, we are going to do some quick tests on Ms. James so you will have to leave the room for a few minutes."
"OK," Nathan sighed he took a last look at Haley and whisper into her ear, "I love you," and then kissed her soft lips before walking over to the doctor. "You have to make sure she's OK."
"I'm doing everything I can, sir." The doctor said softly.
"Who wants coffee?" Taylor asked breaking the silence in the waiting room.
"No," Everyone moaned.
"All righty, I guess it's just me then." Taylor walked down the adjacent hallway to the vending machine. A cart was pulled out of a room causing Taylor to have to move swiftly to the side. She landed on the side of her heel and felt an instant rush of pain. "Ow!" She screamed, grabbing her ankle.
"Sorry." Said a male voice from behind the cart.
Taylor looked up to see a tall, dark and, handsome doctor, '"It's OK!"
"Here let's go into my office and I'll take a look at your ankle."
"OK," Taylor said with her award-winning smile
"I wonder what's taking Taylor so long?" Karen asked but no one answered.
Karen looked down the hallway towards where Taylor went. "Hmm... That's weird," Karen said noticing that she wasn't there. She looked down the hall where Haley's room was located, room 503. She sat back down and picked up a magazine to read. All of a sudden there was an announcement over the speaker "All available doctors on floor 5 please report to room 503 immediately." It rang.
Five or six doctors ran across the waiting room and into Haley's hospital room and closed the door behind them.
OK I hope I didn't bore you too much with that chapter. I'm also sorry Taylor wasn't that crazy in this chapter I wanted to show a soft side to her and I'll try and have her get wild in upcoming chapters.
