It's been a week since that night they spent we spent in the hospital. Now we were both back in Vegas and I've had to work a lot to make up for the missed days. I sat packing boxed with my clothes that were scattered on the floor. I looked over to see Criss sitting there arms crossed. We had just gotten into a fight. He wanted me to quit my job. I mean he's joked about it before but he was dead serious and said he was sick of not being the most important thing in my life. I told him that he was but instead he just yelled about how I loved my job more.

My eyes puffy and red from crying.

Sick of the silence I turned on the first thing on TV. E! Hollywood Gossip. Hmm whatever.

I sat there tossing things in boxes.

Hugh Heffner's main squeeze Holly Madison was seen with Vegas magician Criss Angel and that's up next on E! Hollywood Gossip.

I turned around slowly to look at Criss, I had been working the night before and I knew he was at the Playboy Club.

"You have until it comes back on to explain yourself right now" her voice sounded angry and the fact that we had just been fighting didn't help any.

"Baby listen-" I cut him off

"Drop that 'Baby' crap and explain now" my eyes pierced through him like daggers.

"Okay you know how it is if I'm seen within five feet of a girl I'm 'dating' her I don't even know Holly" He seemed apologetic

"Christopher you better be right because if you're lying all hell will break loose" I only have called him Christopher once before and only when I was extremely angry with him

AND WERE BACK!

Last night at the Vegas Playboy Club, the Hef's main squeeze Holly Madison was seen flirting with Criss Angel.

Here are some pictures of the flirty couple.

I looked at the pictures on the screen, it showed them hugging, dancing close and kissing.

"What the fuck Criss" I just looked at the screen, no emotion I've cried all my tears and nothing will come out.

"Baby I think we should take a drive and talk" he slid down beside me on the floor



"Yah I think we really should Criss, we really do need to talk" I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my purse

"Lets go" I crossed my arms at the door of my cluttered suite

"Fine" his anger now came out.

We both road the service elevator out to his BMW and Criss drove us to the middle of the dessert.

"Okay so talk" he turned off the car and sat there.

"Ha, I'm not the one that was screwing around last night so you fucking talk" I crossed my arms and sat there

"Baby listen I don't know what came over me last night, she was just there and I promise you that it didn't go any further than a quick kiss on the lips I wouldn't do that to you and you've even said before that you don't care about the girls that are all over me because you know I'll always come home to you and that's true, I love you so much I can't even explain it. I realized something last night with Holly. I realized how much I love you and that you're the only one for me please baby don't do this to me" For the first time in our relationship; I saw him cry.

Seeing him cry made me want to cry to but I held it in for as long as I could.

"I want to believe you, but I just don't know anymore" I hung my head and buried it in my hands.

"Criss can you just take me home?" I let some tears slip out

"Not until we fix this" he seemed to have stopped crying

"I need to go back, I need to sleep and think about all of this" I wiped the tears and looked over at him he looked so upset.

"Okay" with that he spun his car around not seeing the car coming at him, it hit us head on.

We spun more before smashing into some rocks. Dust flew everywhere along with shards of glass and rock.

I knew I had to get myself out of the car. And I had to get Criss out too. I could see that I had some cuts on my arms and my neck was really sore. Along with my wrist that felt broken.

Then I saw Criss he had cuts on his face and body. He laid there lifeless she prayed to God that he was alive.



My main objective was getting me and Criss out of there.

My seatbelt came undone easily but Criss didn't.

I had realized that he was still alive but quickly passing out.

"Criss baby talk to me" I said while cutting his seatbelt with the pocketknife that was in his glove box.

"Mmm" he winced in pain

"Come on keep talking to me Criss, do something" I had now gotten through the seatbelt and started pulling him out of the car.

"Ugghhh, my ribs hurt so much" He was in so much pain and was quickly passing out.

I pulled him out to the dessert floor in the middle on a thunderstorm.

"Keep talking to me!" I yelled as I saw him closing his eyes

"I'm so tired" he said shutting his eyes

"NO CRISS DONT FALL ASLEEP!" I started crying

I hadn't even relized that I hadn't called the cops.

I ran to the car grabbed my phone and came back to Criss.

After I got off the phone with 911 I sat cross-legged with Criss' head in my lap.

"Baby say something...anything"

With all the power in him he reached up and touched my face.

"I love you more than you'll ever know"

That was it that's the last thing he said.

"Baby squeeze my hand if your still here"

I felt a light squeeze, and I squeezed back.

Eventually the squeezes got lighter and shorter until they stopped.

I knew he had to still be alive, I could feel his heartbeat.

I sat there in the rain in the middle of the desert holding my almost lifeless boyfriend.

The cops were there at least ten minutes later.



I didn't need major EMT care and I insisted that they took care of Criss first and then come to me when he was stabilized.

The whole ambulance ride I held his hand.

I met J.D and Costa at the hospital after I had gotten taken care of.

I broke my wrist and had cuts on my arms, I also had bruises on my neck.

The second they saw me I was involved in a group hug.

Then the nurse came out.

"You are Criss' family right?" she looked down at the papers she held in her hands

"Yes" they all replied at the same time

"Well he's been stabilized but he has some nasty cuts, bruised ribs and a broken arm, but other than that he should be fine although he's still passed out and he could be for up too five days" she gave them all a comforting look

"Five days?" Costa looked shocked

"Maximum but probably two or three" she scribbled something down on the clipboard

THREE DAYS LATER

"He up yet?" J.D said as he walked into the room, he looked tired but not as tired as me, for the past three days I've been sitting by his side holding his hand. Going home only to shower, no sleep I couldn't not for more than ten minutes at a time.

"No" I sighed

"You know you should go home get some rest I'll call you if anything happens" Costa put his hand on my shoulders

"You're right ill come back a little later" I walked out of the room towards my car and to my house. Criss hasn't seen it yet and I wasn't moved in, I was only home long enough to leave the boxes around the living room.

CRISS' POV

The first thing I thought when I woke up was "Holy Shit I'm in so much pain" and the second was how long have I been sleeping for then was where's Brooke. I still had my eyes shut and I slowly opened them, I saw my brothers.

"Dude your finally awake its only been three days!" J.D shouted



This caused me to jump up and that was a stupid idea.

"Where's Brooke? Does she hate me? We got into a fight right before the accident and I don't remember what happened"

"She's at home Criss" J.D said while Costa added "I don't think she hates you"

"Why? How do you know? I would hate me if I was her! I can't believe what I did to her. She'll probably never want to see me again. I lost the best thing that ever happened to me" I hung my head in shame

"What did you do to her that would make her hate you?" Costa sounded curious but angry

"Well I wouldn't say I cheated on her I was just seen kissing this other girl" I knew that I was about to get bitched at by my brothers.

"You cheated on her? Well I wouldn't be surprised if she never wanted to talk to you again." Costa tensed up.

"But we know she's not mad at you" J.D added

"How do you know that?" I was hoping they had a good answer

"Because if she hated you I don't think she would have spent the last three days here right beside you holding your hand, not letting go for longer than going home and taking a shower. She hasn't been able to sleep for three days Criss! And you thinks she hates you for cheating on her? Well she doesn't but she should" J.D exploded at me

"She's really been here for the past three days? Doesn't she have to work, after all her job is her number one priority" I reached over for the button to move my bed upwards.

"Yah she's really been here, and she has a week off work until she gets better" J.D said while Costa added "What is her job anyways?"

They never knew what she did, because they never asked.

"She's a CSI" I said as I rubbed my arm

"Oh" both replied at the same time

The three brothers kept talking for thirty minutes before the nurse came in to do blood work and other things. Both Costa and J.D left me there.

"I see your awake" the nightshift nurse said as she changed the IV bag



"Yah, I'm in excruciating pain but I'm up" I tried to give a smile but because of the cuts on my face it hurt to smile.

"Well what's in this bag should help with the pain" she pointed to the fresh IV bag above him

I looked up at it, who knows what was in it but if it helped with the pain it's all good.

"So that's your girlfriend that's been in here every day and night?" huh, trying to make conversation as she took my blood pressure which hurt because of the bruises on my arms.

"Yah"

"She's a nice girl, hold on to her" she said as the thing around my arm got tighter

"I will"

"I guess you haven't seen her since you woke up"

"Nope, I hope she coming back though" I sighed as I looked out the window of Desert Palms Hospital

"Probably, you know you would have been dead if she didn't get you out of the car" she was cleaning my arm, for a place to put a needle in

"Really? I don't even remember what happened" I made my focus over to the nurse

"Well, from what I know you guys were hit head on and the windshield broke and right after she got both of you out of the car the driver of the other car smashed right in to your side"

"Seriously?" I looked shocked; I mean who wouldn't after that

"Yah and she refused to let anyone check her out until they were sure you were stabilized" Now she was wrapping a rubber band around my arm and asked me to make a fist.

"Wow" I started thinking about all the things I said to her; about loving her job more than me and how she should quit. How could I do that to her, how could I think some other girl could substitute for her.

After the blood was taken from my arm the nurse shut out the lights and left.

BROOKE'S POV

Ugh, that shower was really what I needed. I dried my hair straight and got dressed. I sat there on the mattress on my floor. Maybe I should get some sleep. I laid down until I heard my phone ring. It was J.D.

"Hello" I replied sounding anxious



"Hey, he's awake and I think he wants to see you" J.D said over the radio in the car

"Okay, I'll be right there"

I rushed to get ready I decided to change out of the oversized t-shirt and shorts.
