Ric literally ran out of the office, and down the hall toward the exit. He was about half way down the hall when Legacy's locker room door opened, and Randy, Cody and Ted all looked confused.
"Ric, what's up? We have a promo later," Randy said.
"Sorry, Randy its not going to happen tonight. The reason why Carly hasn't shown up yet is because she was in a severe car accident. She's on her way to the hospital now," he said as he started running down the hall again.
"Oh my God," Ted exclaimed as he grabbed the door frame and stared down at the ground. Cody knew how much he loved Carly, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry man, I'm sure she will be ok. Carly's a tough girl."
Ted nodded as Stephanie walked up to the group. "Has Ric told you guys what is going on?" she asked as the trio nodded. "So, obviously Randy, you won't have your promo with him tonight. All three of you are going out to the ring, and Randy you will gloat about him not showing up. Then after the promo, Cody and Ted, you will stay out in the ring and have a quick tag match against Carlito & Primo. Randy, about a half hour later, you will have a match against Batista. Then you will all be done for the evening. Your expected out in the ring in about ten minutes," Stephanie said as she walked away.
Ted sighed as Legacy headed toward the curtain. Within minutes they were all out in the ring, Randy was boasting how Ric didn't show up for tonight, just like the script read. As he continued to listen to Randy talk, Ted couldn't help but think of Carly. Was she in surgery right now? Was she in alot of pain? Was she wondering if he was going to come, or wondering where he was? God, please take care of Carly. I love her, Ted thought as he snapped back into reality when Randy left the ring, and it was time for his and Cody's match.
Ted and Carlito started the match, and as soon as the bell rung, Ted immediately went after Carlito, and took out all his frustrations on him. Ted and Cody dominated most of the match, and after getting a DDT on Primo, Cody got the pin for the victory. The referee raised Priceless's hands in victory, and Cody and Ted didn't waste any time standing around in the ring. They immediately left the ring and headed toward the locker room and got dressed. They walked out of the locker room as Randy was walking in.
"Hey guys. Are you heading up to the hospital?" he asked.
"Yeah. Good luck in your match tonight," Cody said.
"Thanks. Will you guys do me a favor? If you guys get to see her before I get there, will you give her a hug from me?"
Ted nodded. "Sure thing man."
"Thanks," Randy said as Ted and Cody walked away. They walked toward the parking lot, and Cody dug out his keys to his rental car. "I'll drive."
The drive was relatively silent, and as Cody glanced over at Ted, he knew exactly what was on his mind. "Ted...she's going to be ok."
"I know she will...at least I hope she will."
"She will," Cody said confidently. "Carly's tough. I've heard of some of the impromtu matches you guys have had," he said as Ted smirked.
"It's crazy. We have been friends for so long, and I have loved her for like 10 years now. One thing or another has stopped us from being together. Now that Justin and Kristen are finally gone...I just hope to God that I'm not too late to tell her."
Cody couldn't respond as he pulled into the hospital parking lot, and hurried inside. Once they found out where she was still in surgery, they were directed to the waiting room. Once they reached the room, they could see Ric, Reid and Ashley all waiting. Just then, Marlene and Jeff burst into the room, and Mickie, Eve and Maria were right behind them. "Ric, what happened?" Marlene asked as she sat next to her ex-husband.
"It's not real clear yet, but it looks like the back of her car was rear ended several times, and it looks like she lost control. The police could tell she spun a couple of times by the tire marks on the road. Then I guess she flipped several times, finally landing on the top."
"That sounds exactly like Ally's car accident," Jeff said with concern in his voice.
"Do you think the same person did it?" Carly's mom asked with tears in her eyes. "That's creuel," she said as Reid wrapped an arm around his mom and hugged her.
"We will find the person who did this," Reid said confidently to his parents. "They won't get away with this."
A few minutes of silence passed. "Have we heard any news?" Ted asked.
"Unfortuantely no," Ric said as he sighed.
Moments later, everyone noticed a doctor walk into the room. "Are you the family of Carly Flair?" he asked. Ted instantly noticed the blood on his scrubs.
"Yes we are," Ric said as he and Marlene stood up, with everyone behind them. "Is she ok?"
"First of all, I'm Dr. Williams, the doctor who performed her surgery. Let me just say the next 24-48 hours will be cruical. When Carly was brought in, she barely had a pulse and had some head trauma. She also had some internal injuries, and some internal bleeding, which we have stopped. She dislocated her shoulder, and crushed her knee. Other than that, its just alot of bumps and bruising. Like I said, the next 24-48 hours are cruical. She needs to wake up soon so we can do further tests."
"Can we see her?" Marlene asked.
"Only a few at at a time please, especially since she is in ICU. She is down the hall, room 422."
"Thank you Dr," Ric said as the doctor left the room. It was instantly decided that Ric, Marlene and Jeff would go in first. While waiting, Ted decided to call his parents and let them know what was going on. They always considered Carly their adopted daughter. Carly's parents stayed in the room for about 45 minutes later, after her sibilings left the room, Cody and Ted went into her room next.
When they walked through the door, Ted couldn't believe the sight before him. Carly looked so helpless as she laid in the bed, bandages wrapped around her head, her arm in a sling, propped up, as was her knee. Cody leaned down and hugged her the best he could. "I'll leave you alone with her."
Ted nodded. "Thanks man," he said as he left the room. He pulled a chair close to her bed, and carefully took her hand into his. "Hey Carls. I really hate to see you like this. Carly, I need you to wake up soon, ok? There is so many things that I want to tell you," he said as he felt a tear roll down his cheek. "The thing I wanted to talk to you about is...I love you so much Carly. I have loved you since we were teenagers, but I guess I've been to chicken to say something. I was going to say something when you broke up with Justin the first time, but I didn't know if you were ready, or even want a new relationship. That was when Kristen came into the picture, and I tried to mask my true feelings for you. Instead, I think being with her made me fall more deeply in love with you. You are it for me. I love you so much, and I want you to stick around. I want to be with you." Ted then gave Carly's hand a tight squeeze, and kissed the top of it. He then stood up, and placed a kiss on her lips. "I love you," he whispered. He kissed her forehead once more before leaving the room.
