Martin looked around the house searching for his father or his best friend. He didn't find them and started to worry about them. He looked at the answer machine and saw the red light blinking. He hoped that maybe one of the messages would be from one of them. He quickly pushed the button.

"Martin it's your dad I would be home till late don't wait up." Well that's one accounted for and now about the other. He listened to other messages and began to worry even more from not learning about Mac. Martin sat on the counter when someone knocked on the door. He flew at the door hoping it was Mac having forgotten his key but it was Ruthie.

"Martin I have some bad news." He just stood there silent his voice escaping his mouth. "It's Mac and Megan, there's been an accident." He felt his knees lock and he gripped the door for support. "They're at the hospital." She let the tears fall down her face. He didn't know what to do but wrap her up in his arms. They just stood there for what seemed like forever until Martin pulled away wanting to see his best friend.

"We should go see them."

"Okay."

"Give me your keys."

"No it's okay I'll drive." She wiped at the tears that were falling. She was in shape to drive. "Maybe you should drive." She handed him her keys as they walked across the street to her car.

They got to the hospital and Ruthie just froze not wanting to go in and see her friend. Martin looked at her with sadness because they were both facing the same trauma and they should go through it together. He grabbed her hand and walked with her into the ER fearing the worst. Ruthie approached the desk.

"Hello I'm looking for Megan Johnson."

"She's in room 567."

"She came in a young guy Mac could you tell me what room he's in?"

"He's in room 536."

"Thank you." Ruthie and Martin walked towards their rooms with Martin going to see Mac and Ruthie going to see Megan. Ruthie was afraid to see your friend in acoma and not well. She looked in the window before Megan's room and she looked near death. Ruthie saw the doctor come out of Megan's room.

"Excuse me."

"Yes?"

"How is she?"

"Not good, she's not breathing well and she has several broken bones but it's nothing that can't be fixed."

"Thank you." She went in and Megan tried to move her head but the neck brace stopped her. Ruthie couldn't believe that it was Megan in front of her. The Megan she knew was always laughing and joking not lying in the hospital crying.

"How's Mac?"

"I don't know." Ruthie could see that her friend was worried about her boyfriend and she was worried about Mac too. "Do you want me to check on him?"

"Would you?"
"Of course." She left the room and walked into Mac's room. She saw that Mac was much better than Megan and she felt horrible for what she was about to tell Mac.

"Hey."

"How's Megan?"

"Not good, but she'll get better. She wants to know how you are."

"I'm horrible, I feel responsible for what happened and now my girlfriend's lying in a hospital probably worse than me and I can't do anything."

"Mac you need to calm down okay? Megan's not going to die or anything and she's more worried about you then her."

"I have to see her."

"Let me go talk to the doctor." Martin left leaving Mac and Ruthie alone and Ruthie couldn't stop crying. Both of her best friends were in the hospital and she couldn't do any to help them.

"You can't keep doing things like this to me."

"Well I'm try and plan more carefully next time." He laughed motioning for Ruthie to come towards him. "So how are you?"

"I'm fine." She sat on the edge of his bed. "You need to be more careful because I don't want to lose two important people that I love."

"I love you too Ruthie."

"So does Martin."
"He finally told you?"

"What do you mean finally told me?" She asked as Martin walked in.

"The doctor says that you can see Megan in a little bit."

"Good."

"Ruthie we should go."

"Okay, night Mac." She hugged him and left walking down to Megan's room. "Mac's coming to see you in a little bit."

"He's ok?"

"Yeah. We're gonna head out."

"Okay night Ruthie."

"Night Megan."

They left the hospital holding hands happy that their best friends weren't dead and were doing fine. Ruthie was still wondering what Mac meant by he finally told her. She would have to wait to ask him because she was tired from crying.
