Chapter 9

"What the hell is going on with my daughter?" Sam said pounding his fists into the receptionist's desk.

"I'm sorry sir, the doctors haven't released any information yet, and until they do I don't know anything about the patient," the receptionist said, "but as soon as I hear something I call you up here and let you know. Now, sir, if you'd please go back to the waiting room."

"Fine, but as soon as you get any news let me know," Sam said walking back towards the waiting room.

"What did they say, Sam?" Grace asked clinging onto Sam's shirt.

"She said they didn't have any information yet, just that she's lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion," Sam said forcing back tears from escaping his eyes.

"I can't believe this is happening," Simone said, "I mean Kay is the strongest person I know. My best friend can't die. She can't!!"

Miguel put his hand on Simone's shoulder, "Like you said, Kay is strong and she will make it through this."

"I should've been there for her more, while she was recooperating after Ryan raped her," Jessica said between sobs, "I should've helped her more..."

"Jess, it's not your fault, it's nobody's fault but Kay's," Charity said blatantly.

"How could you say something like that, Charity? After all Kay's been through! Do you have any compassion for Kay at all?" Jessica yelled, pointing her finger at Charity.

"All I'm saying is that Kay sealed her own fate when she got into Ryan's car and then again when she slit her wrists," Charity said defensivly.

"Code blue! Code blue! I need all surgeons in O.R. number four," the voice boomed over the loud speaker, resting above the waiting room.

"Oh my God, Sam, that's Kay's room!" Grace said breaking down in Sam's arms.

"Excuse me, are you all in Kay Bennett's family?" the doctor asked interrupting everyone's crying.

"Yes," Sam said, wiping a stray tear from his cheek, "What's happened?"

"I'm afraid I have some bad news."

Chapter 10

"Well, what is it?" Sam demanded, bracing himself for what he feared the doctor would tell him.

"I'm not going to sugarcoat this," the doctor began, "your daughter, Kay, has lost a lot of blood and we don't have any blood of her type left, so unless we find a donor soon, she and her baby will die."

"What type of blood does she have?" Miguel asked stepping up.

"It's a very rare type, not many people have it, O+," the doctor said grimly.

"Wait," Miguel said, "that's the kind I have!"

"Well, then follow me," the doctor said leading Miguel into one of the examing rooms to draw blood.

Miguel went back out to the waiting room after giving blood.

"I still say, that what ever happens to her is her own fault," Chairty said, emotionlessly.

"That's enough, Charity!" Jessica yelled, "I've had just about enough of your mouth!"

"God, Jessica, I'm just stating the obvious," Charity said.

"You bitch!" Jessica yelled in anger and slapped Charity.
