At the hospital Caleb immediately rushed to the Emergency Room. "Alexandra Danvers! Where is she?" he demanded.
"And you are?" the nursed asked with the brows pulled together.
"Caleb Danvers, her brother."
"Mr Danvers." Came it from the Doctor who just entered the room wearing his scrubs.
"Yes". Caleb turned to him.
"My name is Doctor Carver, your sister was in a car accident we are currently stabilizing her so that we can operate to stop the internal bleeding and to see what damaged was caused in the accident. Mr Danvers, yours sister has lost a lot of blood and needs a blood transfusion but we don't have her blood type in the blood bank, she has a very rare blood type." The doctor explained.
"We have the same type, you can take mine." Caleb said and walked with the doctor to draw some blood.
The rest was all waiting in the waiting room. Sarah, Kate and Pogue was sitting in the uncomfortable white chairs. Tyler stood in front of the window, while Reid walked up and down like an angry lion caged in.
"Care to tell me how long you and Alex have been seeing each other behind Caleb's back?" Pogue asked.
Reid stopped and looked him straight in the eyes then started to pace again. "Five months." was his only reply.
Pogue wanted to say something when Sarah jumped up and glared at all of them.
"Why is it such a big deal huh? Why can't you see that it makes Alex happy? I haven't seen her this happy in a… well since I've know her. Why is hard to belief that Reid can love her?" she ranted on defending her friend who was lying in the hospital somewhere, oblivious to Caleb who stood perfectly still in the doorway.
Tyler was the first to notice him, "Caleb?" he asked.
"She is in the OR at the moment, they are trying to stop the internal bleeding and to see what damages there are as well."
Sarah walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Caleb pulled her close and buried his face in her hair.
Silence fell over the friend again only this time Reid had stopped pacing and was now standing in front of the window with his back to Caleb he did not want to look at his face who was clearly showing hate towards him.
After what felt like hours the doctor finally came in the waiting room. Caleb stood up and walked toward the doctor.
"We've stopped the internal bleeding, we've also had to fix a ruptured spleen. Then she has some broken ribs and a few minor cuts and bruises. She is stable but critical."
"Can we see her?" Caleb asked.
"Yes, but I have to warn you, she is currently in a coma."
Caleb heard a gasp and then someone starting to cry, turning slightly he saw that it was Sara and Kate.
"Don't worry it is her body's way of healing itself. The nurse will show you to her room." The doctor said and left the room.
Everybody followed the nurse except for Reid who stood like a statue in front of the window staring at nothing.
Tyler turned and saw his friend standing in front of the window and his heart went out to him.
"Reid?" Tyler said and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.
Reid turned his head slightly to look at Tyler and then turned his head back to the window. "Go on baby boy. I don't think that Caleb will let me near her anyway."
Tyler squeezed Reid's shoulder and left the room, leaving Reid alone with his thoughts. Turning way from the window he went to sit on one of the chairs resting his head back against the wall and closed his eyes.
How long he sat like that he did not know, until he heard his name being called. Opening his eyes he saw Tyler standing in front of him.
"How is she?" he asked.
"Still the same." Tyler said. "Caleb took Sarah to pack a bag for Alex and Pogue took Kate to his place to get some rest. I told Caleb that I will stay with Alex and call him as soon as there is a change," Looking down at his feet and up again he continued. "but I think that you'd rather want to be with her."
Reid just looked at his best friend and without a word he followed Tyler to Alex's room.
"I will be right out side the door if you need me." Tyler said and gave Reid's shoulder a squeeze for luck.
Reid walked into the room, it was as quite as the grave the only thing that he heard was the monotonous beep of the machines next to the bed. His throat tightened when he saw Alex lying there pale and helpless with pipes connecting to the machines. For a long while he just stood there looking at her pale face.
Then he slowly moved closer till he was standing next to the bed. He tool her hand in his and was shocked at how cold was. He looked at her beautiful face and traced his hand over her cheek.
"Oh Alex." He said, tears welling up in his eyes.
Pushing back a lock of hair behind her ear, he gave a sad smile and when he saw the marks he had left in her neck.
Pulling a chair closer to the bed he sat down and took her hand again.
"Alex, please don't leave me." He murmured and kissed her cold fingers.
"I need you babe, I can't live without you." He wrapped her hand in both his and dropped his head so that it rested on their joint hands
"I need you to fight, Alex. I need you to fight not only for me, but for Caleb as well. We wont' survive without you." Tears starting to run down his face.
"I love you Alex." He said and dropped his head on the bed his shoulders shaking as he silently cried, oblivious of Caleb who stood in the door and heard every word he said to Alex.
Caleb walked towards the bed, tears in his own eyes, feeling both sorry and guilty. Realizing that he might have been wrong about Reid, maybe all that Reid needed to pull his act together was someone like Alex.
Reid lifted his head when he heard someone at the bed. He saw Caleb and let go of Alex's hand.
"I know. You don't want me here. I will go now." He said and stood up walking past Caleb.
Caleb grabbed hold of his shoulder and his next words shocked Reid. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"Sorry for the things I said about you. Fuck Reid, she's my sister and I'll do anything in my power to protect her from any pain, but look now." He waved his hands towards the bed. "Look what pain I've caused."
Caleb pushed Reid back towards the chair and walked around the bed. Placing his hand on top of Alex's head he bend his head and place a soft kiss on Alex's forehead, right on top of the bandage that was there. What nobody saw was that his eyes were pitch black and that he actually healed the cut.
Looking up he looked straight at Reid who never took his eyes of Alex.
"You know I always though that if Alex was every going to fall for one of you guys, that it would likely be have been Pogue, you know how they always tease each other since they were little" Caleb said never taking his hand of Alex's head still looking straight at Reid.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think for one minute that she would fell for you, with your reputation."
Reid opened his mouth to say something but Caleb held up his and silencing him. "Let me finish. Sarah pointed out a few fact and made me see just how hard headed I'm actually is when it comes to Alex. She pointed out that you've used much less the past few months and that you've actually pulled your act together. It is because of Alex, right?"
"Yes, Caleb I truly do love her. I never felt this way about any girl before."
Caleb sighed, running his hand over his face. "Fine. But I'm warning you. Hurt her and I will not hesitate to kill you." He warned the boy on the other side of the bed.
Turning to Alex he bends his head and whispered close to her ear. "Did you hear that sis. Now I need you to fight for me, for Reid, for everyone, please sis." He begged a single tear running down his cheek.
