Hey there, here is chapter 9! I know I did leave a good cliffhanger...and I think you did enough waiting for this chapter! I couldn't write another chapter earlier, as I was too busy dancing and drinking at my brother's wedding! But now all sober, tired - I hope this is good enough.

Enjoy this chapter and by the way, it is in Dean's POV... I tried so hard to be as him...but let's hope it was good!

Thank you!

Please Read and Review...

Peace out, dudes.

Dean's POV

"KATIE!" I shouted as she just stood there, as the car just shone all the headlights over her. She didn't notice it, until I got out of the Impala. She just was stuck there and before I knew it, the car just hit her. It was so quick and slow at the same time.

It was quick, that everything happened in under a minute. But…I watched so clearly of what happened. Her body – her fragile, tall but tender body – was bent into two, by the car's front. I could hear bones cracking into little pieces. She was standing in the middle of the road, but when the car hit her, she just flew up to the sky and flew backwards towards the left side. I heard even more bones crack as well.

I was just utterly in shock of what just happened. As reality struck me in, I ran to Katie as the car who just hit her stopped right in front of her. I saw Katie and she wasn't moving or anything…but you could tell she was struggling to breathe. I told the driver, who hit her and just got out of the car and it was a young adult man about in 20s and he just looked like he was in shock as much as I.

"Ring 911! NOW!" I shouted as an order and he nodded shakily and got out his phone out and began to talk on it. I looked down to Katie and went onto my knees. Oh, shit…she looked so bad. I mean, so bad. Her hair was all tousled and bloody. Her body was all…bruised and bloody. I-I-I-I can't describe it. She looked awful.

I gently pulled her to my chest and clutched her to my chest. She was still breathing, but she couldn't move. Her eyes were just closed, like she was sleeping. I didn't know if she could hear me or not….but I just whispered to her saying that I love her…and I didn't normally say love to anybody…but this girl…I did love her.

The ambulance did arrive and did everything they could on here, but one of the paramedics came up to me, as he took his plastic gloves off.

"Hey, man. What's your name?" he asked as he put a hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off and crossed my arms. I didn't need any comfort from anybody. Just Katie…only.

"Dean." I said without any expression or reaction. I just said it so casually.

"Well, Dean. Katie is okay, but she really needs to go to hospital right now. Do you want to go with her in the back of the van or would you like to follow us?" he asked and I looked back at Sam – who was okay for the time being and he was just shocked about Katie.

"Um...I'll follow you. I got my brother there, so we will follow you...are you going now?" I asked worriedly as the corner of my eye was on Katie's body…which was beeping, but it didn't show anything meaningful to wake up at all.

The paramedic nodded and smiled at me and I sighed and went up to Sam, who just looked so pissed and sad at the same time. I just got into the car and turned the engine on as Sam got into the car quickly and we just followed the flashing van.

It was five hours later since me and Sam arrived at the hospital in the town. Katie was having an operation, for her back and her ears, somehow. The doctor just told me what was happening and that kind of thing. I had to wait in the waiting room – every minute felt like every hour. Sam just sat down next to me…doing absolutely nothing. He already felt so guilty. I kept pacing around…taking my jacket off and back on.

Shit…this was my fault. If I just went up to the motel…instead of ringing her up…this wouldn't happen. I kept banging my head with my heads and just sighed frustratingly. Damn it…I just told her that I love her and yet the next minute…she just was crashed into a car. I hid my watery eyes into my hands and put my elbows onto my knees as I just fell down on the floor.

Am I not allowed to have a girlfriend in my life? A girl…who I would seriously consider to be my soulmate? God…I sound like a guy came from a chick flick…heh. Maybe I was one of them…who just realized the feelings. For Katie Elizabeth Wilson. The girl who I loved. The girl who just got into a car accident. Because of me.

"Mr Winchester?"

I looked up and saw the familiar doctor who talked with me earlier about Katie. I stood up as Sam followed me and we shared a glance, but I looked back at the doctor.

"Is she alright? No problems or whatsoever?" I asked as I unconsciously scratched my neck. It was a nervous habit.

"Nope. She is all great. She is sleeping off, at the moment. You can see her." He smiled and I sighed in relief. I slapped on Sam's back and just was great that Katie was all great. She would be back to normal. I grabbed my jacket and went up to the lift with the doctor and Sam, who was back to normal…but he was all quiet.

"Where is she?" I asked as we just entered to a hallway. I just looked around, but I heard wheels squeaking and I looked at that source…it was a bed and it was going into a room and I knew who was on the bed. "Katie!" I sighed loudly.

I started to run to her, but the doctor grabbed my arm and I just was a bit confused, why he just grabbed my arm. He sighed sadly and then let go of my arm and took a step to me. At that moment, I just knew that Katie wasn't all good. There was something wrong with her.

"Mr Winchester. Katie…she can't hear you…" he paused many times and this was a moment where I just could go…and have a "what the hell" moment…

"Well, of course…she is asleep. She just had an operation." I sighed like it was the simplest thing on the earth. Sam just widened his eyes and looked at the doctor and the doctor sighed once again.

"Well, as you know that she was in a car crash and hit her back and her head against the gravel. She took a really big blow on her head and this does happen to a big amount of people who was in the same situation as Katie. Her hearing…was already lost now." The doctor explained and I just watched him.

"So. You are saying that Katie is…deaf?" I asked.

"Now, she is. But I put two cochlear implements, which will help her to hear." The doctor explained everything from the beginning to the end. Katie was actually deaf now. She lost all of her hearing from that blow in the road and then, the doctor put two cochlear implants inside of her ears to help her to hear…

I looked up at her. I arrived at her room. Sam was there already as the doctor was talking with me and explained everything of what to expect or how to deal with deafness. I looked at Sam, who was clutching on Katie's hand and he was just crying…because he was blaming himself for her hearing loss. I just stood by the door and watched Sam babbling and sobbing all the time as he just kept telling Katie…that he was so sorry about it…

"Sam." I said aloud and entered the room. "Go back to the motel room and stay there until I ring you, got it?" I asked and he just looked up at me with wet and red eyes with snot coming out of his nose. He nodded frantically and stood up and walked up to me, but he stopped. He took a moment to look at Katie. "Sam. Go now." I ordered and he nodded with a grim answer. I closed the door and subconsciously looked back at Katie as I would make her wake up…but no…the word – deaf – just came along.

I quietly walked to the chair, where Sam sat and I just took my jacket off and sat down and looked at Katie. She just looked like she was sleeping so peacefully, but she just was too quiet. I mean, she was still breathing and you could hear beeping next to her…the heart deliberator…but normally, she just would lie down with her bum out or she just could sleep with one leg out of her bed. This person, who looked like Katie…isn't Katie who I knew since she was 12. Who I seriously fell in love…and it was my fault.

I waited there for 12 hours. Or maybe 13 or 14 hours…time felt both slow and fast at the same time. I just felt so depressed, seeing her there…just sleeping. Her hair was put up scruffy…not like what Katie did. Her ears were covered by a woolly white headband. She just looked paler than usual. I just wanted to see her lovely, light blue-grey eyes that always sparkled when she smiled. A nurse came in to check on Katie and also told me off to go back home, but I said no. I wanted to stay with Katie.

I fell asleep, eventually.
