Kate POV

Jack sat against the wall of the hospital room staring at Alex. I sat on the uncomfortable navy blue chair next to his bed holding his hand the whole time. The room is small and the walls are painted an off-white colour. Jacks' breathing is heavy but not as loud as the machines hooked up to Alex.

The doctor left half an hour ago after checking his vitals. He told us, in laymans terms, that his brain is swollen from the crash and his leg is fractured. He said Alex probably won't wake up for a week or so but he is confident that he will do so. I have finally stopped the silent tears I know Jack can hear.

The whole time the doctor spoke Jack and I nodded in response. Neither of us really understood what he was saying but we are happy he will be awake, until then we just have to wait and pray for the best.

"Kate?" Jack shook me from my thoughts as I rest my head on the edge of Alex's hospital bed still clutching at his hand. "I need some air do you want a drink?"

I squeezed my eyes shut to wake myself up and looked up at Jack with visibly tired eyes. "No thank you." I gave Jack a weak smile as he squeezed my shoulder.

I lay my head back down and close my eyes again, not trying to go to sleep because I don't think I actually can right now. I hear murmurs coming from the hall and Jacks tired voice above the others. "He is unconscious right now and Kate is in there. We are just waiting for his parents to get in from Baltimore. They should be here soon."

"Are you alright Jack? You look terrible." A deep voice that could only be Rians' spoke.

"Well I feel terrible, I'm just going to get some coffee if anyone wanted some?" Jack asked and was met with a chorus of no.

The first to enter the hospital room is Rian with Cassadee, the two looked sad; Cassadee wiped a tear before anyone could see. Zack and Matt entered next both with solemn looks on their faces.

My head still rested on the bed when Cassadee and Rian walked around to the other side of it. Zack walked to my side as Matt stood at the foot of the bed. Zack leant down beside me and put his arm around my shoulder. "Kate everything will be ok, we are here for you and Alex. We all care."

I nodded and hugged Zack. His big arms wrapped around me in a protective way. I lay my head on his shoulder breathing in his cologne; I closed my eyes trying to sleep. Zack could always calm me in any situation but it might take a little more than his soft voice this time.

Cassadee hugged closer into Rian as he kissed her head she turned to speak to me. "Kate" Cassadee started but was cut off my the sound of Alex's parents walking in the door.

Isobel let out a small gasp and Peter's eyes grew wide. They both looked over at me with Zack's arm still around my shoulders. "Oh Kate, my dear." Said Peter in his deep British accent. He walked over as Zack got up and stood next to Matt.

Peter placed his hand on my shoulder, I squeezed his hand in my own as we both watched Alex hoping for a change. Isobel still stood in the door very silent, unable to speak. She looked around the room taking in the surroundings from Alex's friends, to me to the sight of Alex laying in the bed looking helpless.

Isobel swallowed hard and cleared her throat. He face became hard and her mouth was a thin line before she spoke in a low voice. "This is what happens when my son starts hanging around with drug addicts." The whole room fell even more silent then it already was at that remark.

My eyes started to prick with hot tears, I held them back and stood up. "Isobel I am so sorry but this is not because of my past problems. This is because of a terrible accident and no one is to blame for this." My voice is soft and calm, I don't want to make her even more angry then she already is.

"Kate, this would never have happened if you weren't in his life." Isobel's voice had risen to a yell. Everyone else just stood there scared to make a noise just in case Isobel started yelling at them.

I let the tears come, I couldn't hold them in any longer. I whispered "You're right, it is my fault."

"I know I'm right. Now I think you should leave." Isobel practically screamed at me. I ran out passed her as I heard a chorus of Kate after me.

"Kate, where are you? Please come out." Cassadee's voice sounded through the corridors of the hospital. I poked my head out from behind a wall, wiped the tears from my face and waited for Cassadee to see me.

"There you are, what are you doing hiding back here? I thought you would want to stay in Alex's room?" Cassadee took a seat beside me on the hospital floor.

"His parent should be in there with him not me." I inhaled deeply and brought my knees up to under my chin.

"That is so stupid Kate, you should be in there with him especially since he was on his way to see you." Cassadee placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I know, so it makes it my fault. Cassadee what if he doesn't wake up?" I placed my head in my hand and started to cry more.

Cassadee was speechless and just rubbing circles in my back, because we are all thinking what if Alex doesn't wake up.
