Say Hello, To Goodbye
Chapter Twenty One
The Accident.

Everything happens for a reason. Even if you don't want it to happen. And Nick had to realize it. Because when he got the call that night, he felt like the world caved in on him all over again.

He drove quickly to the hospital, praying the whole time. He ran inside the hospital, not thinking about anything. His heart beating fast and his stomach in knots. He went to the emergency room and saw them crying.

His eyes filled with tears. He walked over there and knelt down. "Are you okay?" he whispered.
Both little girls looked at him half-heartedly and shook there heads no. He picked them both up and held them as they cried. When finally the doctor came out.
"Is this the family of Mia?" He was korean and looked very intelligent.
"Yes." Nick said sternly. None of Mia's really family was going to be here, but he knew he should be. He let the girls down and watched them run to the play room.
"I'm Dr. Chin."
"Nick." He replied.
"Well, from the police report, Mia was traveling the speed limit on highway 17 to get to her home, when a dump truck was traveling at a speed above the speed limit crossed the yellow line, hitting her head on. Her car was totalled. It looked absolutely awful, but somehow she is not dead."
Nick sighed in relief. "Is she going to make it?"
"Follow me." Doctor Chin said.

They walked down the hall to a room with a glass window. They both looked in. She was hooked up to tons of wires, so could barely recognize her. "A part of her brain was punctured do to the hard hit. And she is in a coma. There is no telling when she will wake up or if she ever will. And we don't know if she wakes up, if she will even remember anything. She could be a totally different person. All i'm saying is, with this situation, i don't want to get your hopes up that everything will go back to how it was."
Nick only nodded.
"Tomorrow you will be able to visit any time you want. We have her in a stable condition. So you can stay or come back tomorrow."
Nick nodded once more. "Is the other guy okay?"
"Not one scratch." Replied the doctor. "I'm sorry Nick." Then he turned to his next family and walked towards them.

Nick stared into the room. Blankly. If only he wouldn't have told her to leave.
