Ch. 9 This Is How a Heart Breaks/Chop Suey

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted

Corrine was lying on her bed, tired and dying of heart break. Marshall had not yet woken up, and it was one week since the accident. The doctors said he was doing well, why wasn't he woken up yet? I hate this! Why did that stupid bastard Jake have to do this to us?

It was like she had fallen into a horrible nightmare, and there was no way out. She had to live in dream world for the rest of her life.

Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded

She had refused to leave the hospital, so she was staying in a guestroom. Apparently the hospital got this all the time. But she was more intense than all the other mourners had been, because she refused to get on with her life. It would just be too weird to go back home without Marshall. Too weird to go back home and go to sleep in our bed without him. Too weird.

And so she stayed. Josie brought her homework to her, but she refused to do it. Josie didn't understand, and Corrine didn't expect her to. Ever.

And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take

Every day Corrine lost another part of her mind. It was like she was slowly dying herself. Getting up out of her bed for 1 week now, she walked over to Marshall's hospital room.

A Doctor came rushing out, "he's in critical condition, no visitors today." And the tears came pouring out of Corrine's eyes.

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Corrine met Josie in the hospital hallway. She looked sad as well, but no one, not even Marshall's parents, could top her sorrow.

"Hey Josie. How are you doing?" Corrine sighed.

"Fine, but more importantly, how are you doing?"

Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me

"I'm…"

"Slowly dying of heartbreak?" Josie finished for her, "oh Corrine, can't you… why do you make this so hard on yourself? I mean, I know you love him more than anything, and he loves you that way too, but… I mean…"

"I can't Josie, I just… I wish this wouldn't happen, I want things to return to the way they were," Corrine sighed.

And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away

"I know, I do too, but that's not possible. What Marshall needs now is for us to be strong for him and not loose our minds," Josie exclaimed.

"How can I not loose my mind when he's loosing his?" Corrine cried as a doctor emerged from Marshall's room to talk to them. He had a grim expression on his face.

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

"Girls, I am afraid…"

"WHAT?" Corrine screamed, her eyes wide and fearful, tears already streaming down them.

"Marshall is still alive, I can assure you. But his energy level has dropped, and he seems to be going down the other path now…"

"You mean…" Josie gasped.

"He's dying?" Corrine whispered.

You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you

"Yes, I am afraid so. He seems to be so tired he can't manage to find enough strength to carry on. I give him about a month."

Corrine let out a low whimper and sunk to the ground. The doctor stared at her with pity in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, we'll try to do all we can. But it just might be his time."

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Corrine glared at him, "his time is when he is old and gray. This isn't his time. He was hit in a car crash by a maniac! That is not how this wonderful person is to die! That isn't fair, and it isn't right!"

The doctor slowly nodded, "No, it isn't right. But so far we can't find anything we can do to keep him alive. We're working on it, I assure you."

Corrine continued to cry.

This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks

Corrine left the waiting room and went to her room. She didn't want to see anybody, she just wanted Marshall. And she wanted him to be alive, comforting her, kissing her. And no Jake, either.

At least ONE part of that is true.

This is how a heart breaks
I can't take it
This is how a heart breaks
Ooh
This is how a heart breaks
This is how a heart breaks

Corrine let out a shrill gasp, and got out of her bed. I am going to do whatever I can to try to keep him alive. Even if it means threatening the doctors. I can't live without him!

Wake up

Grab a brush and put a little

Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

Corrine woke up early in the morning, at about 6 o'clock AM. Why are you up so… oh, that's why, she thought painfully as shy ran to the bathroom to barf.

What DID you eat yesterday? You've been barfing like this for 2 days now, and today's a week since… well… Marshall started dying. Its also a month since Valentine's Day, that wonderful day. Wait a sec…

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

Corrine walked over to the hospital's pharmacy, Josie in tow.

"So… you say you've been sick for two days now?" Josie asked confusedly.

"Yeah. And… it's a month since Valentine's day."

"What's so important about V-Day?"

I don't think you trust
In, my, self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die, die

"That was… oh Josie, I am so ashamed of it now. But me and Marshall…we…"

"Had sex?"

"Yes. And we didn't protect ourselves. Why was I so stupid?" Corrine gasped "why didn't I think of everything? Why didn't I think, period?"

"The heat of the moment, I suppose. Me and Lucas haven't gotten that far yet, though."

"Lucky, you don't have to worry about anything!"

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

Corrine wept buckets as she bought the pregnancy test at the counter. God oh God! Why?

She sucked in her gut and walked the long, doomed walk to the girls bathroom.

I don't think you trust
In, my, self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In, my, self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

"Well, uh, if its positive, we'll help you through it," Josie stammered as Corrine was hesitant to go into the bathroom.

"Yeah, thanks. I'll need it," Corrine cried. Walking into the bathroom, she knew this was the end of her life.

Father, father, father, father
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father into your hands

Completing the test, she walked outside and saw that Josie was gone and had left a note, I needed to go help Z with the coffee machine, Corrine. I'll be back soon!

Corrine let out a cry. She needed help through her 10 minuets of waiting. It was endless.

Why have you forsaken me
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken, me oh

10 Minuets

Corrine let out a gasp as her watch rang, saying that the test was done. The moment has arrived.

Trust in my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my self righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die

Corrine walked back into the bathroom. She couldn't bring herself to look at the stick, and it was a full five minuets before she could. And when she could, she gasped.

Pregnant.
