Lilly looked up towards the office's door and looked at her watch. 'What is he doing?' She thought, anxious. It had been about half an hour that they had left her house. She had tried to do some paperworks but she didn't manage to concentrate. The disquiet raising in her, as the minutes were passing.

Nick looked up at her, and saw the anxious in her eyes. "What's going on Lilly?" He asked her while approaching, wanting to comfort her. He had never saw her like that.

"Scotty hadn't arrived yet and that's not normal." She replied, worried, still looking at the door.

"I'm sure he's only late... There's no need to be worried." Nick said with a soft voice, trying to reassure her.

"No, he told me that he would only take something at his apartment. It was 30 minutes ago." She said, looking at her watch.

"Hey, don't worry, he's only a little bit slow that's all. Okay?" He asked her, looking at her.

"You're probably right." Lilly replied with a slight smile who looked more forced than natural. She looked back at the papers which were scattered on her desk.

"Don't worry, he'll be here." Nick said while patting her shoulder and he went back to his desk.

Lilly looked at her paperworks, she took a deep breath, try to concentrate and started to do them. 'It's okay, there's no need to be anxious... He'll arrived in no time." She thought, trying to comfort herself.

After some minutes, she finally managed to concentrate and was doing her paperworks.

But life had decided that things weren't going to be as Lilly wanted.

"Lilly..." Stillman said with a low voice, pale as if he had seen a gost. Fears could be read in his eyes that started to be red.

When Lilly saw his expression, her breath practically stopped. Her mouth slightly dropped open, and she couldn't move.

"It's Scotty..." He continued with difficulty. It was like if the time had slowed and that everything around her had disappeared except Stillman. The words echoed in her head, but she didn't manage to believe it. She blinked in disbelieve and dropped the pencil she was holding.

She then took a deep breath as the information sank in her, and she finally regained conciousness. Millions of questions came to her mind, she didn't know which one to ask first and her thoughts got into a muddle. But after some other minutes that seems like hours, two questions finally came to her mind.

"What happened? Where is he?" She said rapidly, fears in her voice, breathing loudly.

Stillman opened his mouth but hesitated a moment, asking himself how to told her. "A car crash, he's at the hospital..." He replied, with a sad tone.

Lilly jumped to her feet and ran towards the door, nearly knocking over everybody that were on her road.

Nick, Will and Stillman exchanged look, as if they were asking the others what they had to do. And they all ran, following Lilly outside.

The drive seemed to last hours for Lilly. In one hand, she wanted to be as fast as she could next to Scotty, to be here for him, but in the other hand, she knew she wouldn't be able to handle the vision of him like that.

They drove through the city and finally arrived at the hospital. Lilly got out of her car and ran into the hospital.

"Can I help you?" The receptionnist asked to her, with a smile.

"I'm here for Scott Valens..." She rapidly answered, wanting to know how he is and where he is.

"Let me see.." The receptionnist said while looking at the board. " Frank!" She called. And a man turned around and joined the receptionnist. "They're here for Scott Valens." She murmured to him, and he nodded.

He walked towards them with a slight smile. "Follow me." He said to them, while starting walking.

And they followed him through the corridors. "How is he?" Lilly asked, anxiety in the voice.

"Well, he has a couple of ribs break and a leg break too, but what preoccupy us, it's that... we think he has a cranial traumatism. So,... he's in coma." He slowly said, taking his time to say it.

Lilly's jaw slightly dropped open, the information sinking in her. It was an awful nightmare for her, she hoped that she was gonna waked up in minutes and that Scotty will just be sleeping next to her. But unfortunately, it was too real to be a nightmare.

They finally stopped in front of one of the door. "It's here." The doctor said, showing the door. Stillman nodded and the man left them, leaving them alone.

Lilly stood there, looking at the door, apprenhending what was behind it. She was asking herself if she would be able to handle it.

"Lilly?" Jeffries called her, taking her out of her trance. She blinked and looked at him with an amazed look, still not realising what was happening to her. Regainning cousciousness, she blinked and slowly approached the door.

She slowly pushed the door, waited in the doorway, taking a deep breath and finally entered into the room. She discovered a pale, and unconscious Scotty, laying on a bed hospital. When she saw him, her eyes started burning and felt tears coming in her eyes. She fought against them, but the tears slided down her cheeks.

"Hey Lilly..." Stillman said softly, patting his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure, he will be alright." He continued, not very sure of what he was saying.

"But John! He's in coma!" She replied desperatly.

She walked towards a chair next to the bed and sat on it, always looking at Scotty. It couldn't be possible, just an hour before, they were together at her house. And now he's there, at the hospital.

Why life was so harsh with her? She was finally happy, she had something more important than her job. For pratically the first time in her life, she had a reason to live. But the person who was always there for her, who knew how to comfort her, wasn't there.

Lilly took Scotty's hand and caressed it, wanting to comfort him, to make him know that she was there. Nick, Will and John looked at her, sadness in their eyes. They knew that there was something between them and felt even more sad for her.

Tears were still runnning down her cheeks but she didn't care. All she could think of was Scotty. Did she do something wrong?

To see him like that was heartbreaking, for all of them. Then Nick, Will and John looked at each other, all thinking the same think, that they should leave her alone with Scotty. They left the room and sat in the corridor, in silence, they were shocked by what just happened.

When they entered again in the room half an hour later, they found Lilly asleep on her armchair, holding Scotty's hand tightly against her chest.
