Chapter 5: 1st year at Hearst
Dick was falling apart. His dad was back soon after Cassidy's death. Jessica and he didn't end up back together at least not yet anyway. The two of them had found it hard to be just friends when they both wanted more. But,they had made it through freshman year at Hearst. They only had a few hours left and tey would free of it all until next fall.
Jessica walked out of her almost empty dorm. Veronica and Mac were waiting for her. Hey friends she says with a smile. Something was wrong and she knew it. What's Wrong asks Jessica as he smiles fades? Logan and Dick got into an accident says Veronica. But they are alright asks Jessica? Logan is a little beat up but he'll be fine but Dick isn't doing so well says Veronica as she looks at her friend. We need to get to the hospital says Mac as she leads the way.
Wallace is meeting us there along with Duncan, Meg and Lily says Veronica as they reached outside. Jessica walked like a zombie to the car. Praying for the first time in a long time that nothing happens to Dick. They arrived at the hospital 10 minutes later.
The girls raced into the hospital. Veronica noticed Logan. Logan yells Veronica. He turns and picks up his girlfriend as she runs into his arms. I love you she says. I love you too he replies. Have you heard anything on Dick asks a voice? Logan looks at is little sister. No but we should soon says Logan as he pulls her toward him. He'll be ok he's strong says Logan a she holds her.
The doctor walked out. Family of Richard Casaablancas says the doctor. That would be says a voice. Everyone turned toward the voice. It was Dick's dad. How are you related asks the doctor? He's my son says Richard. I'm Doctor Samson your son has a gash to the head a broken wrist and right now he is in a coma says the doctor. What are his chances Richard asks? If he wakes up he'll be fine but if he doesn't they were begin to get slimmer and he will eventually die says Doctor.
Jessica let out a sob. May I see him asks his father? Sure says the doctor? What gives you the right to be here and pretend to be father of the year snaps Jessica? He's my son he replies. A son you haven't had anything to do with so turn around and get out that's what your good at snaps Jessica as she walks past into Dick's room.
Everyone stares in awe. She had never stood up to people like that before. Logan looked over at his friend's father. Get out now says Logan. Fine I'm leaving he replies as he leaves.
(Dick's room) Jessica was sitting next to his bed. You need wake up we all need you so open those eyes. I can't lose you not like this says Jessica. Just then Logan came in. He sat next to Dick on the opposite side. Hey man open those eyes we have lost enough these last few years don't add your name to that list says Logan. Come back to us says Jessica as she takes his hand. Logan looked up at her sister with a small smile. I'll be back says Logan. Ok says Jessica. Just as Logan was about to leave. Logan says his sister. Yea Jess he says. I'm glad you're ok and I love you big brother she says. I love you too sis he replies as he exits. She turns back to the hospital bed that holds the love her life.
(Waiting room) Hey says Veronica as her boyfriend comes into view. Hey he replies as he wraps his arms around her. How's Dick asks Duncan? He still in a coma but right now his chances are good but the longer he's out the slimmer they get says Logan. O my goodness says Meg. How's Jessica asks Wallace? Hanging in there says Logan as he puts is hands to his head. Veronica sat next to her boyfriend. This isn't your fault says Veronica. Yes I should have been driving but I let him and neither of saw it coming says Logan. Think of it this way if you had been driving the roles would be switch says Veronica. I know he replies. He wouldn't want you to blame yourself your one of his best friends and you've been there with him through thick and through thin we all have this right here is the only real family he's got left says Jessica.
She has got a point says Mac as she walks over to Logan. I shouldn't want anything to do with the Casablancas after what Cassidy did but Dick had nothing to do with it and he grows on you after awhile says Mac. He's become more and more a part of my life just like the rest of you have says Mac a she kneels in front of Logan. This isn't your fault listen to them says Mac. Thanks Mac says Logan. Anytime she says. The hours passed and everyone had gone to see him. Jessica chose to stay the night so he wouldn't be alone.
