Mario's POV (Elise's dad)

After a good 3 hours of no updates the nurse walked over to me. She had a hesitant smiled. I look at her nervous "How is my daughter?"

She looked at her feet then back to me "Well Mr.Lemieux she is still alive. She broke many bones in her body. Which for all of them to heal will be at least 5-9 months."

She rubbed the back of her neck. I smiled "That's not so bad! Compared to what I thought was going to happen."

She sighed "Mr.Lemieux I'm not finished... Elise... She Uh... well she has amnesia and is in a coma and might not wake up."

I raised an eyebrow "And what is that? Amnesia?" She sighed and gave me a sympathetic look "It's a partial or permanent loss of memory. The scary thing is we don't know if it is permanent or just for a short period of time."

Kris looked at me and then at the nurse "So of she wakes up she won't remember us."

The nurse nodded "Or any memories of you guys. Usually when people wake up and have amnesia they remember certain loved one's from their childhood. Most of the time one's who have passed away."

I turned to see Jensen crying. I haven't seen him cry since his mother died. He shook his head "This is all a dream! I'll wake up from this nightmare any minute! And I'll be going to Elise's house like I do everyday!"

I pulled my son into a hug "I'm sorry J but it's not a dream. Your sister loved you you know that. No matter what happens she will always be with you. Her and mom will be looking over you."

Jensen cried out in my shoulder and yelled "She's not gone! She's going to wake up out of that coma! And I'll have my best friend back!"

My eyes were stinging with tears. I hugged Jensen and I knew how close him and Elise were. Elise was close to all the boys. Mostly Jensen and Kris. I turned to see what Kris was doing and I saw Tony and Chance hugging him.

I turned to see the teammates who were still here. I saw Max and Jordon hugging. Matt and Pascal hugging each other and Geno and Sid. I turned my head a little more and saw Marc and Vero hugging.

After another half an hour the doctor walked out "Letang visitors you are free to see her now. She is not awake though. Please follow me."

Everyone stood up and followed the man. When we got in the room and I saw Elise hooked up to all the machines I cried even harder.

She laid there lifeless on the hospital bed. He skin pale bruised and scratched.

What did she do to deserve this? She always could brighten up a room. She made everyone around her happy. She was selfless and cared about everyone more than herself. But there she was lying there unable to put a smile on anyone's face.

I felt someone push past me. I saw Jensen run up to the bed and hugged her crying "Please don't let go! I need you! It can't end like this! Please Elise! Please!"

Kris walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder "She was strong for us when mom died. Now we need to be strong for her Jensen."

Jensen wiped his tears away "What if she doesn't remember Kris? All the nights we would sing songs before bed. How when mom died I tucked her into bed like mom use to do. How she always said I was her best friend. How we use to play pranks on you. How I would play dress up with her even though I was a guy. I was there to take her to all her treatments. The endless nights she cried in my arms when she got diagnosed. All the mistakes I have made but she forgave me. She always supported me through everything! Even when I wasn't right! She said we were family and she would always be by my side! Now what?! I just can't let that go?! She looked out for me! I love her man! She's my baby sister! Now she doesn't even know me!"

Kris shook his head "Jensen you don't have to let her go. She will remember eventually. It will take sometime but she will remember. Mom will help her remember."

I smiled at the boys. When there mother died they all took care of each other. I spoke up "She promised to always be by Elise's side. She will help her through this."

Jensen's POV

She meant the world to me. Now I might lose her! If I could have done something we wouldn't be in this position!

I'll be honest I'm scared. I'm scared that she will wake up and not remember me. That all those memories were for nothing. But you know what they say the people that love you the most hurt you the most. Oh boy and did it hurt like hell right now!

Sid's POV

I can't believe what I was seeing. When I took a look at Elise my heart shattered. I wanted to cry. I wanted to hold her in my arms and never let her go. But I don't know if I'll ever had that chance now.

Max's POV

All the memories I had with Elise flooded back. I honestly felt something for her. She wasn't one of the other girls I met in bars. She was much different.

When I saw her I felt a tear shed. I'm not the crying type but seeing her broke my heart. If it was my choice I would be in that bed and not her. I think I'm falling for Elise. Oh and am I falling hard!

Geno's POV

Words can't even explain the feeling I have right now. It's more than just pain. I can't believe what I'm seeing! I don't believe what I'm seeing! If I would tell her something right now it would be "Hold on! Don't give up! I love you! More than you'll ever know!"
That chance maybe gone now.

Elise's POV

Black. Just Black that's all I saw. They there was a door. It opened... My mother walked out. I smiled "Mom? What are you doing here?"

She smiled "I'm here to help you! But Elise do you want to wake up?" I shook my head "No mom I want to stay here with you!"

She frowned "Honey you need to go back to your family! They need you now more than ever! This are bad right now! They are only going to get worse!"

I frowned "But mom I want to be with you!" She smiled "Honey I told you the day I died 'I will always be with you.' Elsie the boys need you. I would love to have you but the best is for you to go back."

I frowned "Mom I love you. I will never let you go! We miss you!" She smiled "I know sweetie and all be there to protect you."

I went to got hug her. But when I did she was gone. Now everything was black. Just like before. I was scared. To be honest I didn't know if I was ready for the pain of waking up. But did I want to?

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. Time - the mind, protecting its sanity - covers them with some scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."
