Summary: Starts off with Ellie's incident and Sean is the only one able to help her. Then it shows small flashbacks from the previous week of the couple getting closer, the cause of Ellie's hurt and the reason why they seem to suddenly break up. Bad summary. Good story.

Everything

You got a perfect girl
and it's a perfect world
you build a fortress around you
can see no reason not to continue

The things that you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
stop turning around and round and round
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world,
you're holding, holding in your hands

And if this comfortable life is your only passage through time
just make sure you can break through
the walls that you are building around you

The things you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
stop turning around and round and round
everything you wanted will be coming down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holding,
holding in your hands

Wanna be part of the world
you gotta hand something over
wanna be part of the world

The things you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
the things you always dreamed about
so turn it around and round and round
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holding,
holding in your hands

Don't you want to hold it, hold it now
everything that you need
you're holding in your hands

Chapter Three: Rude Awakening

Sean quickly walks into the hospital holding Ellie's frail frame tightly in his arms. Once inside, he takes her to one of the empty benches next to the service desk area and lays her down there. Then he hurried his way to the front desk bumping into a few people on the way. "Lady, I need a doctor. My girlfriend's lost a lot of blood, she unconscious." He spoke frantically to the short blonde woman behind the counter.

The nurse cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, you will have to wait a few minutes." She had said without even looking at him once while she spoke.

"What do you mean wait! She needs to see someone now!" He shouted to the older woman, anger rising in his voice with worry underlying as well.

She smiled at him then handed him a clipboard with a few papers on it. "Okay kid. Just fill out these forms."

Sean looked down at the clipboard clenched in his hand and back to the nurse, giving a confused look.

The lady then got up and walked over to a man with dark brown hair and a smile fixed on his face, who looked to be no older than thirty-five. After the two exchanged a few words the man walked over to Sean, rolling an empty stretcher by his side.

"I'm Doctor Carter. I will be checking on your friend here." The man greeted, while picking up Ellie from the nearby bench and placing her limp body onto the stretcher.

Sean nodded as he watched the doctor look over Ellie's arm wound.

"When did this happen?"

Sean seemed at a lose for words at that moment. "Um ... oh today, a little while ago I think."

The doctor nodded then turned looking, almost waiting, for a younger woman with auburn hair turning the corner to casually com over.

"Doctor Carter, what is the problem?"

"She just has seemed to penetrated the skin deeply, but has lost quite a bit of blood."

The woman quickly moves to the opposite side of the stretcher and they both begin to roll her down the hall.

"Also, I'm pretty certain she has a tendency to mark herself." The doctor said pointing out Ellie's older visible scars.

The woman nodded in agreement.

Sean quickly came behind them. "What's wrong? Is she gonna be okay? What's happening?"

The male doctor stopped walking, motioned for the woman to take Ellie into a room a few for them, then turned to Sean placing his had on his shoulder. Listen son, we will tell you everything we can once we figure out exactly what we need to know. In the meantime just sit in the lobby and wait-"

"Wait?"

"Yes, that's the best thing you can do now, a nurse or myself will be in there in a little while to check on you and ask you some questions." Sean nodded knowing what the doctor said made the most sense. So, he followed his order and went to sit in the waiting area. He scanned the room seeing an empty seat beside a teen, around his age or older, with curly dirty blonde hair wearing a loose sweatshirt and by the looks of it he seemed a little uneasy. Sean sat down and started to fidget with his hands nervously. After a few minutes the boy sitting next to him looks over at Sean and spoke in a cracked voice. "What, uh ... what you here for?"

Sean gives him a somewhat annoyed look for bothering him, then stares back down at his hands. "My girlfriend."

The guy nods nervously. "Me too. I mean, I was in the uh room with her, but I just couldn't take being in there anymore. Why ... why aren't you in there with her?"

"Oh, no my girlfriend isn't pregnant or anything." Sean replied trying to clear up the teen's confusion.

"Oh, sorry." He waits a few seconds then speaks once more. "My names Bryan." He said, again nodding nervously and extending his hand out to shake Sean's.

Sean smirked and shook Bryan's hand. "Uh, Sean." It was a bit funny to see someone as nervous as he was acting. After a few seconds, he turned to look at the teen. "What's she having, anyway?"

Bryan turned back to him. "Huh, oh yeah. I dunno, well she didn't wanna know."

Sean nodded and leaned forward in his chair still fidgeting with his hands.

"So, what's you girl in for then?" The boy asked seeming a bit more comfortable now.

Sean leaned back pulling his hood off his head and sighed. "She uh ... she cut herself." He had never really admitted to Ellie having a real problem before, but now it seemed that he had to in order for it all to really stop.
