I DO NOT OWN LWD!!!! JUST DEAN, KAYLIE AND GREG.

Chapter ten:

No Reason to Celebrate Part 2

DEREK'S POV:

This was not happening, not today. I prayed to God not to let this happen now and that it was all just some nightmare. It wasn't until I burst into the ER that I realized that it was true. Kaylie's Father was there and nobody had told any of us what had happened. All anybody knew was that her car was totaled and that she was in intensive surgery. It felt like days as the minutes ticked by but I couldn't move from the spot I was in.

The hallway seemed to extend forever if you were to look down it and the walls were white. Four chairs were in the hallway, center, against the wall on the right side. I was hunched in one of those chairs with my elbows in the arm rests. One arm was holding my head up but I didn't look up. I stared at the ground, laminate floors, how original. Greg was pacing back and forth and Casey was in a seat next to me. The rest of the family, including Dean, had arrived but I wasn't paying much attention to them. My eyes started to water as I thought of what was going to happen. She wasn't going to make it, I already knew this. Before my thoughts could go any further I heard a sniffle coming from the right of me. I lifted up my head and looked over at Casey and she had tears running down her face. My arm dropped and I leaned towards her.

" Case, it's okay." I whispered.

" She's going to die, Derek." She put her head in her hands.

To be honest, I couldn't say anything to her because I knew the same thing. So instead, I moved out of my seat and knelt in front of her.

" Right now, I know she would want you to be strong." I peeled her hands away from her face and wiped her tears away. " I also know that she wouldn't want you to cry. Just like I don't."

She smiled softly at me but the sadness in her eyes was still there. I smiled up at her standing her up, and I held her hands in mine. We stood close to each other and I hugged her. Just then the doctor came out of the operating room.

CASEY'S POV:

It was an interesting feeling, deja vu, over and over again I tried to tell myself that it wasn't happening but it was. There was no fighting it and as the minutes ticked by my brave face was starting to fail. I practically already knew what was going to happen to her. I knew she was going to die, it was like my dream all over again but I didn't want it to happen. Of course, no matter how badly I wanted things to change and go back to when she was alright. It wasn't going to make things better, and with that last thought I started to break down. Then Derek started to comfort me, I could tell his eyes were watery from trying not to cry and yet he still tried to make me feel better. I think he thought the same as I did about Kaylie, and I actually started to feel better. Until the doctor came out.

" How is she?" Mom asked anxiously.

" How is my daughter?" Greg asked worriedly.

"She's unconscious but we're not sure if she's going to make it into the next couple of days but there is still a small chance that she will." The doctor talked mostly to Greg.

" What's wrong with her?" Lizzie asked.

" Well it seems that her white blood cell count is unusually high and from what the police had told us is that when the car she collided with hit her, she was already unconscious. We're still doing tests." The Doctor replied.

" Thank you." Mom said.

" We'll be moving her into intensive care. You can visit her there." The Doctor said before turning to leave.

Slowly we made our way to her room and as everyone else went inside I stayed behind. I watched as Mom, Greg, Lizzie, Dean and Derek gather around her. A part of me didn't want to go over to her because somehow that mean she would stay alive but the other part wanted to throw myself on her and cry my eyes out and beg her to wake up. I sat in the hallway just outside her room, there were chairs there just like in the hallway by the ER. The others started arriving but I never paid any attention to them even if they tried to speak to me. I mostly just stared into the room, watching all of them. Time had passed by, slowly, but nonetheless passed and I was still in the chair. It was late so Mom took Lizzie home and all the others had left. All except Greg, Derek and Dean, although there was no way you were going to get those three to leave, even if their lives depended on it.

At some point everyone went down to get coffee but I was still there. Standing up slowly I went inside and sat down in the chair next to the bed. Looking at her, there was dried blood on her face and arms that extended all the way to her finger tips, from the accident. I ran my hand through her hair and caressed her arm until I got to her hand where I held it tightly. There was no stopping it then, the tears started pouring out of my eyes and slid down my cheeks. To blood on her body started to smear from my tears.

"Please don't die. I don't want you to die." I buried my head in our hands and sobbed.

DEAN'S POV:

To be honest, there wasn't really a name for what I was feeling at this point. I mean how do you feel when one of your best friends and the girl you are absolutely head over heels for is in a hospital bed, dying. I was hurting, but numb, and I was worried but calm. All normal emotions seemed to have disappeared and I no longer understood the ways of the world. It seemed almost wrong for Kaylie to go through all this pain, and I could only hope that she would get better.

DEREK'S POV:

Dean and I walked back to Kaylie's room. No words were ever said between us since all this started happening I mean what was there to say? As we approached the room, Greg was talking with a Doctor and Dean went to go listen to what was being said. I kept walking and noticed that Casey wasn't in the chair anymore. There, as I turned and looked into the room, was Casey sobbing into Kaylie's arm. Slowly, I approached her, setting my coffee cup on the side table and wrapped my arms around her. I picked her up so that I was holding her bridal style and sat myself in the chair she was sitting in. She curled herself into my chest and grabbed a hold of my shirt. Her hands made fists and her face was in my shoulder. All I could do was hold her, my hands running though her hair as I planted small kisses on the top of her head..

Deep down I wanted to break down and cry with her, but I knew if I broke down then neither of us would make it through this. Even when everybody else still had hope that Kaylie would somehow survive, me and Casey knew that she wouldn't. I just had a gut feeling but somehow it was more real for Casey, and since the very moment she heard that Kay was in the hospital she had been acting distant and like she was lost in her own world. I had to admit, I was worried about her but how do you comfort someone you care about when you yourself are falling apart?

HEY GUYS, SORRY THIS IS SOOO SHORT. I WISHED IT WAS LONGER BUT I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO END THIS CHAPTER. MORE TO COME, I PROMISE.

LOVE,
