Mimi fumbled with the radio station. Soon she found a station she was content with, smiled and then looked up. Soon the smile that was on her face was now shattered. As Mimi tried to hit her brakes, it was too late as her car had collided with the huge truck. It made her car flip over and over a million times it seemed. The last thing Mimi remembered or saw was her wedding day to Shawn Douglas Brady.

I open my eyes

I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light

I can't remember how

I can't remember why

I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain

And I can't make it go away

No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes

I've got no where to run

The night goes on

As I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me

Mimi was else where she knew that. All she saw was bright light and a long tunnel, she had no clue where she was at or what happened to her. She didn't feel the pain at all, there was no heartache in her, she wondered how that could be, she was so broken hearted earlier but now all she saw was brightness around her, and thats it. Mimi was scared, she started to scream, praying for someone to hear her, so she could go back home to see her Brother , her family.

Soon the Bright light around her turned into complete darkness, Mimi really started to scream now, one of her fears was being all alone in such a dark room, and place. Now Mimi was shivering wherever she was, it was pitched dark and it was very cold.. You could say ice cold. Thats how cold it was. Mimi fell to her knees she felt this sudden pain over and over again in her heart. As her eyes rolled back in her head as she fell unconscious where she was at.

Everybody's screaming

I try to make a sound but no one hears me

I'm slipping off the edge

I'm hanging by a thread

I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered

And I can't explain what happened

And I can't erase the things that I've done

No I can't

How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes

I've got no where to run

The night goes on

As I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me

At the Hospital, the Doctors were frantically working on this victim who was just in a car accident when the paramedics brought in Mimi, every doctor and nurse were scurrying around frantically trying to save these peoples lives.

Doctor Westmore: We just got a bad bad car accident victim. She is Miriam Lockhardt, and she is 23 years old, and yeah its really bad . I need all the help I can get.

2 Nurses and 2 Male Nurses volunteered as they all hurried into another room with Mimi Lockhardt as they all tried to save Mimi's life.

Meanwhile,

Patrick, Bonnie and Conner were at Chez Rouge, they were all having a lovely lunch together. Close by, Shawn, Belle, Brady, Chloe, were also having lunch.

When Bo Brady walked in, he had a very sad look on his face. Shawn tried to get his Dad's attention but couldn't so he got up to get him as Bo led the way to the Lockhardt's table.

Shawn was now behind him... but before he could say a word, the words were out that shocked him...

Bo: Bonnie, Patrick... there has been a bad accident and Mimi was in it...

Bonnie: Oh My God , Bo is she okay...

Bo: Sadly to say, its not good.. her heart is still with us but... the Doctor's don't have much hope... I figured I needed to find you and tell you this right away, she is at the hospital they are trying to revive her. She went unconscious about 10 minutes ago.

Patrick: Mom, lets get the hell outta here, Mimi needs us...

Bonnie was up out of her seat in a second, as she , Conner, and Patrick ran out of the restaurant. Soon the rest of Shawn's table was behind Shawn & Bo.

Belle touched Shawn's hand startling him , as he turned around, and Bo did the same.

Chloe: What's going on?

Bo: I don't know how to say this, Shawn you heard I suppose?

Shawn: Yes, but tell me Dad , Mimi will be okay? She will survive won't she?

Bo: Sorry Son, the Doctors don't give much hope in that.. it was a horrific accident... I can't believe Mimi wasn't dead on the scene, how someone survived that.. is beyond me...

Belle: What do you mean? Shawn, we saw Mimi this morning she was fine...

Bo: Belle, Mimi was just in the worse accident that Salem has ever saw... her car is totaled, and Mimi well... she looked so bad when I saw her, she looked like a broken doll, she looked bad in many places...

Belle: NO (she screamed)

Belle almost fainted, as Shawn caught her... Brady, and Chloe and Belle & Shawn found a table, as Bo left to head towards the hospital to make sure Mimi's family would be alright.

Belle: Okay, I know Meems and I haven't been getting along for a long time, but she can't die, she can't be hurt.. She doesn't deserve that.. she is a good person , she has a huge heart, I saw it , and now...She doesn't deserve this. It should be me..seriously...

Shawn: Belle don't say that...

Belle: No , Shawn, Mimi thinks I still hate her, she thinks we both hate her, We need to get to the hospital now...

Chloe: I agree with Belle, we need to be there for Mimi

Brady: I'll go get the car and pull around

Shawn: Thanks Man!

Shawn held onto Belle, as Belle started to cry, even though the last few months were hell in her life, the one person that she thought would always be around, may not make it, and that broke Belle's heart. Mimi was her best friend since they were in preschool.

Belle: What if she dies Shawn? What will I do if I lose my best friend?

Shawn just had no words to say to Belle to make her feel better, all he did was hold her. Chloe was now crying too... It was a sad day in Salem.

Meanwhile,

Mimi tried to open her eyes but they wouldn't open. She screamed as loud as she could but no one could hear her. All she saw was darkness, she was scared she knew this was bad. She wondered if she was dead, and that made her cry. She didn't want to die, she wanted to live. She knew she took her life for granted being so depressed and drinking all the time but that was what made her feel a little better. Mimi was regretting the thoughts she had the last few minutes in her car. She wished to leave Salem and go somewhere else where no one in Salem could ever find her, and the sad and tragic thing, God might've heard her wish and now she was here, between Life and Death.

In her Heart, all she wanted to do now was live, but now the slim chance of her living was very slim. She was losing her life to death, and that was the scariest thing she ever went through including losing Shawn. Mimi took one final breath... and whispered... I love you Shawn and I love you my family.. and I know its useless saying this because no one can hear me. But I'm sorry.. please I don't want to die... she whispered softly... but no one answered or replied... As the darkness overcame Mimi again as she fell unconcious once again.

Hospital

Dr. Westmore: We are losing her... come on guys lets keep at it, I know we can save her, she is too young to die , come on don't give up...

The Nurses and Dr. Westmore looked very frustrated, as they tried over and over to save Miriam Elisabeth Lockhardt's life, but their results weren't getting anywhere.

In the Waiting Room

Bonnie, Patrick and Conner were all sitting in the waiting room, when Brady, Chloe, Shawn & Belle had arrived... Belle could barely walk she was that hysterical... Bonnie saw this, she did hate Belle for what happened but at that moment, she knew Belle truly cared for Mimi. So even Bonnie was breaking apart knowing her daughter could die, she walked to Belle, and opened her arms to her, as Belle then clung to Bonnie. Then they were both in tears.

Patrick was trying not to cry he was trying to be strong for Conner , but Conner was already bawling, Patrick hugged Conner, as Conner clunged to his older brother.

Chloe fell into a chair, she realized how serious Mimi's conditions really were, she knew it was bad but she never realized it was this bad. Brady sat beside her and held her in his arms.. He whispered stuff to try to help the pain, but Brady knew nothing he would say would make Mimi better...

Shawn just stood there, the tears fell out of his eyes, Mimi meant a lot to him, more than anyone in that room knew. After all, Mimi was his first wife, she was the one to help him get over Belle, one memory he remembered that made him smile was when they were making love and they were cooking stuff also, and the food got caught on fire.

But now the tears were falling down his eyes, Shawn sat down on a chair and started to pray , he hoped his prayers would be answered but he knew that he and Belle were a part of the reason Mimi was in this accident and he felt so horrible for it.

In the Emergency Room...

Dr. Westmore sighed, as he ushered the other people out of the room, he had bad news, he knew it would be hard to tell them, but it was either that or waiting, and he knew it wasn't good to wait. So he started to walk out to the waiting room where they were all at, ready to them about Mimi, he sighed... his job was to save lives, and he felt he couldn't accomplish that today, as he rounded the corned, they all looked up.. They all stood up... waiting...

Dr Westmore: This is always the hardest part...(he whispers to his self)
