I ran through the doors of the ER. Immediately I saw Danae's mom, sister, brother and Alex all in tears. Alex suffered from a broken arm and foot but would not leave his girlfriends family's side.
I ran over to them. I picked up Shay and hugged Mrs. Atkins. I gave James a big hug and he cried on my shoulder. I finally made my way over to Alex. I had never seen him cry before.
"Alex?" I said shakily.
"It's all my fault. She warned me that that guy was driving crazy. I should have done something. Anything. And now she she she can't even wake up. Goddammit!"
"Alex look. It's not your fault and don't even think about blaming yourself. You couldn't prevent this."
Just then the doctor came into the waiting room.
"Will the family of Danae please come forward."
Everyone rose and walked over to the doctor.
"Danae suffered from a very bad concussion. She is stable now but has not waken up yet. The family may see her. Only the family right now. I'm so sorry." The doctor shook her head and walked away.
Danae's family immediately went to her room and a nurse came and took Alex back to his.
Then I realized who was left.
Jeremiah.
He was sitting in a chair with his head down. I was so mad at him
I didn't know what to do with myself. All I could say was
"Go home asshole"
"Asshole? I brought you here"
"Yeah now leave. I asked you to bring me to the hospital not come inside. Now take your sorry ass home or back to the fucking dance I don't give a fuck."
"No thank you or nothin? damn girl you really are mean"
"Thank you? You want a mother fucking thank you? My best friend is laying unconscious in the next room and you want a THANK YOU? Well thanks. Thanks for not helping me look for them. Thanks for not giving a fuck. Thanks for ruining my life. Thanks. Is that what you wanted?"
"Daesha listen..."
"You have 2.2 seconds to get out of my face. I never want to see you or speak to you for the rest of my life."
"Fine. If that's what you fuckin want. That's what you'll fuckin get." He got up, snatched his keys, and left.
I sat down in a chair and cried.
Eventually I must have fallen asleep because I was awoken by Mrs.Atkins gently shaking me.
"Danae, I'm going to go take the kids to get some food and find somewhere to sleep. You can sneak in and see her now." I could see the tearmarks on her cheeks.
"Ok Mrs. Atkins. Thanks." I got up and gave everyone a hug and walked away. Towards Danae's room.
I don't think I can do it.
