A/N: Well, here's the next chapter, as always. I'm not sure how many chapters are left, but I think the story's over half finished. Uh… Sorry for my rude note a few chapters back, I was being an ass. If you want to swear in reviews, I'm fine with it.
------------------------------------
The doors of the ambulance clicked shut, with Seifer lying helpless on a stretcher, the medics frantically hooking up every piece of equipment at their disposal. It was no use. He was beginning to fade.
Seifer began to lose consciousness, his eyelids becoming heavier by the second. The world went dark, as his mind lost hold of his body.
"He's flat-lining!" was the last thing Seifer heard.

Zell grunted, tying to hide the pain caused when he breathed. "So did the doctor say how long I'd be in here for?"
"No, he didn't specify." Selphie replied. "It could be awhile though."
"Fine by me. I could use some rest anyway." He said, weakly.
Before another word was said, Quistis came bolting through the door.
"Quistis!" Selphie greeted, surprised.
"You're not going to believe this." Quistis said, breathing heavily.
"What?" Zell and Selphie said in perfect unison.
"It's Seifer… He had an accident." Tears began to form in her eyes.
"What happened?" Selphie asked, astonished.
"The elevator at the garden failed. He… Lost his arm. I don't think he'll make it." She said, the hopelessness evident in her voice. She had given up. It only made sense that now, once they had grown to love one another, he would be taken away for good.
"Quistis… I'm so sorry." Zell said, berating himself for the way he had acted as of late. He would probably never see Seifer again, and the last memories he had of Zell would be unpleasant ones.
"Don't be." Quistis replied. "He held nothing against you." She said, reading the shorter Seed's mind.
"I know but…"
"Shut up Zell." Quistis ordered.
"Yeah, okay." He replied.
--------------
The ambulance hastily pulled into the hospital carport. Quickly, out came Seifer again, still physically dead.
"We have to get to the ER quickly! He's still flat lining. He'll be brain dead if we don't hurry." One of the doctors yelled.
Quistis stepped out into the hall, just in time to see Seifer go by. "Hyne… Please let him make it." She muttered, cradling her head in her hands.
