Chapter 11

-Hospital-

Dorian and Blair enter the ER in a panic after they get a call from Michael, saying that the girls were brought in after a car accident. Dorian sees David sitting in the waiting room.

"What the hell are you doing here? Are you hoping to widdle some more money from a transplant patient?" David looks at Dorian.

"If you must know I was the one who saved little miss Langston tonight." Dorian is speechless.

"Wait… what the hell were you doing there in the first place? Are you stalking my daughter and niece now?" Before David can answer, Michael enters.

"Oh my God. Michael how are the girls, are they alright?" Dorian and Blair sit, expecting the worst.

"Langston is fine, she has a few cuts and bruises but she'll be alright." Dorian lets out a sigh of relief. Blair looks worried.

"What about Starr? Is Starr alright?" Michael looks at Blair sadly.

"I am so sorry Blair, we did all that we could but Starr didn't make it. I am so sorry." Blair falls to the floor and she cries. Dorian grabs her niece into a hug and comforts her as she cries. "I really don't want to upset you anymore but Langston is awake and is asking to see you Dorian." Dorian nods to Michael.

"Blair sweetie are you okay?" Blair nods.

"Dorian go see Langston. I'll be fine, I think I'm going to go to the chapel." Dorian nods and follows Michael to Langston's room. The two enter the room.

"I'll leave the two of you to talk." Michael leaves the women. Langston can tell that Dorian has been crying.

"Dorian I am so sorry, it was raining and I didn't see the car coming until it was to late. I tried to stop. I did but it was to late. Where's Starr? Did she get out, is she alright?" Dorian sits on the bed.

"I'm sorry Langston. Michael and the other doctors did the best they could but she didn't make it." Langston's head falls into her hands and she cries.

"It's all my fault. I should have been paying attention but she was sick I was trying to help." Dorian grabs Langston's face and looks right into her eyes.

"Listen to me no one is blaming you for anything that happened tonight. Do you understand me, no one. The only one who is at fault here is the drunk driver who hit you girls. I am just so glad I didn't lose you tonight too."

-Chapel-

Blair lights a candle and sits to think.

"God why did you take my baby from me? Did I do something so terrible that this is the only way you could think of to punish me? Please give her back and take me instead. I have lived my life, please let my baby do the same." Blair starts to cry, then she hears Langston's voice.

"Mrs. Manning I am so sorry for what happened. I didn't see the car." Blair turns to Langston, mad.

"Do you think that just because you're sorry that it will make everything alright? Because it won't, your apology will not bring my daughter back. You were supposed to be her friend. You were supposed to look out for her. But you were to damn selfish to worry about anyone but yourself. I bet you wanted her dead. I bet you blamed her for Markko or did you just want her dead because you were jealous of her because she actually had a family!" Langston starts to tear but quickly wipes it away.

"You cold bitch! You're the one who is jealous because I was closer to your daughter then you ever were." Blair slaps Langston and just as she goes to do it again, David grabs her arm and pulls her back.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Blair pulls away.

"Well luckily I'm not you so move out of my way now." David stands his ground until Langston leaves. David follows and stops her in the hallway.

"Hey Langston don't you have anything to say to me?" David flashes his smile.

"Leave me alone David." Langston starts to walk off.

"Hey is that anyway to speak to the man who saved your life and kept you from getting your ass kicked?"

"No I guess it's not but who cares. Leave me alone or I will call Dorian." David thinks for a long time and nods.

"Well all I wanted was a thank you but okay, I'll leave. I am sorry to hear about Starr. I am sorry I couldn't save her." David walks away.

"Thank you David, I owe you my life." Langston whispers once he is out of earshot.
