just to clear this up, I'm not Kate Brian, or Kieran Scott (those of you who don't know who she is can't call yourselves Kate Brian fans...)

" I'm so sorry, you're mother... she didn't make it." he smiled sadly and touched my shoulder. "My mother?" I asked confused. "Wait... you're Bob Williams aren't you?" I shook my head."I'm Josh Hollis." I told him, my heart fluttering with hopeful relief then plummeting when I saw the boy in the corner, looking as broken and sad as I felt just seconds ago, he was dressed in cheap jeans and a 3 dollar knock off shirt The boy did look a lot like me, blonde curls blue eyes, and the same face shape, I could only pick out the differences like the shape of his nose and ears because of my face. , I felt pity swell in my heart, but it was weak in comparison to the fluttering yearning hope. Reed could still make it. Please let her make it! I begged silently, Please!
Finally when another doctor entered the room, he looked almost cheerful. "We've restored her condition. If you hadn't been there we may not have known, there was a bug in her monitor, she would have expired and we wouldn't have even noticed in time to save her. You're a hero son." he grinned and patted my shoulder, apparently a common gesture among doctors. I tried to smile, but the same feeling of hopelessness settled in my stomach there was still nothing I could do to wake her, bring her back to consciousness. I forced a grin onto my face. "So, she'll be okay?" I asked, hopefully. "We don't know for sure yet, but there's a good chance, her condition is the same as it was before, but I don't know if that's a good thing. There's about a 72% chance she'll wake up." he sad for a moment, "Those are great odds though." he smiled, and it was the first time I realized it was fake, he was a better actor than most people delivering bad news. He must do it really often...of course he does! He's a critical care doctor! I smiled in spite of myself at my stupidity, the doctor looked puzzled as he left the waiting room. I walked over to the rest of Easton and told them the news. Noelle touched my shoulder, a common gesture for everyone now. "She'll make it. Reed's strong." she told me. But I still felt hollow, and part of me knew she wouldn't.

the darkness was seriously pissing me off! It kept trying to pull me under, suffocate me, hide me in its inky blackness, it wanted to make me sleep, but I knew it was a deception, that if I let the darkness win I would die. For one moment I felt it and almost let it pull me under, than something pulled me back, there were.. voices, loud and frantic, I think I'm in a hospital, it keeps getting all fuzzy and confusing, but I think I can make it. Then a thought struck me. Josh. He was there in the room when I went down. What if the Crom turned on him, images flashed through the darkness of my horrible nightmare, Josh's body, all cold and lifeless. Suddenly I was sitting up, there was light all around me, and arms around my body. I opened my eyes and stared into Josh's face. "Reed?" he breathed. I looked around. There was a window cut into the faded gray wall, with bright light shining through hurting my eyes. "Josh?" I whispered. I tried to throw my arms around him, but they were trapped by little plastic tubes and wires with needles jabbing into my arms. "what the hell!" I exclaimed and reached to jerk them out then thought better of it. " Oh Reed. I love you so much." he whispered I could hear tears in his voice. "why are you so upset?" I asked.. "Your heart stopped. I thought i'd lost you." he looked away, but I heard the faint sniffle sobs, and I leaned my head into him. The movement made me dizzy and I tried in vain to hide it but, he lay my head down on the pillow and kissed me. Then I moved over, "Join me?" I offered, he smiled and after only a moment's hesitation, he climbed into the narrow bed with me. "Don't tell anyone i'm awake for a while alright? I don't want to fight the swarm yet." I murmured into his chest as he moved my tubes and wires around so I could cuddle into him. It was a perfect moment, despite the raw feeling holes in my back, the weird buzzing in my head, the pain in my throat nose eyes and everywhere else. Besides my physical condition it was perfect. Or more accurately, he was perfect.
Suddenly a horrible thought occurred to me. "Where's Noelle?" I asked shaking, "what happened to her? Is she alright." just then she came striding through the doorway, looking grim and frustrated, then she saw me and a grin broke her face, crinkling her forehead and obscuring her eyebrows beneath bandages. "Hey glass licker, you're awake!" she exclaimed with a smirk, I smiled at my stupid old nick name. "Hey Noelle, nice to see you survived." suddenly she was serious. "Reed, I was so scared. You're my best friend. I love you." she moved forward and kissed my forehead which surprised me, Noelle wasn't the sentimental type... everyone will be so relieved! She exclaimed excitedly, "Wait! Please don't tell them for a while, I... ned some time to rest." Noelle smirked, glanced at Josh waggled her eyebrows and departed, leaving Josh and me to laugh our asses off.
