and gestured for Anne to sit next to her mother. She then walked over to Dean and leaned against him as he wrapped his arm around her. He knew what she was thinking. That kind of love reminded her of their own parents before they died in a plane crash. They both adored each other and never said any harsh or demeaning words to each other. They were soul mates and their children only hoped that they were both together in a wonderful place. Jeri always told him that she wished that all of them would find that kind of love because that's what makes life worth living.
A knock at the door startled them and the door cracked open. Daniel poked his head in. "Oh, good, I found you guys. There's a mob out there! I thought that I wouldn’t be able to find you!"
"What mob?' Dean asked as he looked behind him.
"They're not in the hospital. They are outside by the entrance. There are reporters from every single TV station out there. I had to show them my ID to get in."
"What!? That's insane! What are they all doing here?" Kenneth bellowed.
"Dad, come on. Missy's a big supermodel and Anne is a big star. They all want to see them. Speaking of which, what's the news?"
Anne spoke up, "She was in surgery and now they are running more tests. We're waiting on more news on Evan."
Daniel shook his head and began his round of hugs and handshakes.
He extended his hand to Dean. "Thanks for being here, man."
"Jeri and I consider you guys family."
The minutes just seemed to drag as their chit chat started to idle. Christina soon arrived and sat with her father in the corner. Elle soon followed and Kenneth vacated his seat for her as he went over to George and Christina.
When the doctor came in almost two hours later, a hush came over the room.
“The good news is that both Missy and Evan don't have any signs of brain damage.” He calmly told them.
“What's the bad news?” Kenneth bluntly asked.
The doctor sighed. “They both need to regain consciousness in order for us to really assess if there is any permanent damage.”
Helen's face got paler. “Permanent damage?”
The doctor shoved his hands into his lab coat. “With accidents such as these there are some cases where the patient has some sort of brain damage. I just want you to be prepared for anything. It's really a miracle that they are both alive.”
Helen grabbed another tissue out of her purse and wiped her eyes.
He nodded. “Both of them are heading to private rooms and the nurse will bring you to them as soon as they are situated.”
“Thank you for the update, Doctor.” Kenneth told him.
When the nurse came with the room numbers almost thirty minutes later they all bolted to the elevators in lighting speed.
Chapter 4
Holding on to Missy’s hand, Anne felt the sting of tears as she tried to keep all her emotions at bay.
Missy had to pull through for all of them. Anne couldn’t think of how her life would be without Missy.
“We have to live a little,” she once told Anne and Elle as they cruised down the roads in the middle of the night. Anne only had Hawk a few weeks and was still getting to know him and Missy kept telling her they just needed to go out and have some fun with her new car.
As they drove down the streets, they stopped at a light and a brand new white sports car pulled up next to them with music blaring.
“Hey, honey!” the young jock driver called out to them. “Does that thing have any balls or is it just a pretty little thing like you that needs to be shown what balls really look like?” His two passengers hooted and hollered as they made obscene gestures.
Elle inhaled sharply and whispered, “Anne, just ignore them!”
“No way, Elle!” Missy snapped back. “Anne can take them!”
As she looked over at the obnoxious punks, Anne felt her blood boil as they puckered their lips at them.
“They’re walking home.”
“What!?” Elle squealed as the light turned green and Anne floored the gas pedal. Hawk soared ahead of them
