Serenity kneeled down and sighed at the dust on the floor. She quickly brushed it off her pants and started shaking Nick and slapping his face.

"Come on! Wake up!" She said to herself
"Nick...are you okay?" Serenity said as she continued her actions.
"Ugh if you keep shaking and slapping me, I won't be." he said groggily. "My head hurts enough already, must you add to that pain. No let me correct myself, must you be here? go get me some help." He said as he tried to get up, sitting was as far as he could go without feeling completely dizzy.

"What...what happened?" She asked in shock.
"Serenity, you dropped the friggin suitcases on my HEAD. Please call someone?" He said impatiently.

She started at him, deep in thought. Minutes later she gained consciousness and ran up to the first person she knew, which happened to be Destiny.

"I need your help."
"Like hell you do. You need a pyschologist's help." She said as she shrugged her shoulders and helplessly looked around for AJ.
"No, listen...it's Nick. There's been an accident."
"What?" Destiny said close to yeling. Her stare turned black, emotionless.
"I kinda did something and Nick was kinda unconscious for a while and I think he's kinda hurt."
"Kinda hurt? or really hurt?"
"He can't stand up."
"Okay that's not KINDA. what the hell did you do?"
"Dropped the suitcases."
"And?"
"They fell on him."
"Where?"
"His head...I think." She said quietly.
Destiny sighed.
"Where is he?"
"He's over there." Destiny said as she pointed to her scattered suitcases and empty cart. "Okay...you go over there and ask for his symptoms. I'm going to go and find Kev and use his cell phone to call 911. Keep him comfortable. Make him lie down. Don't let him stand up. And don't allow him to fall asleep even if he might be jet lagged. Okay? Now go!" Destiny said quickly and ran to search for Kevin.

Destiny thought Nick might have a concussion, a mild one but still a concussion that needed to be looked at. She was too worried to be mad at Serenity. The word accident brought back some memories she tried to erase from her head. Those painful memories that you somehow manage to stick in the back of your mind until you think they're gone but then BAM they manage to creep back into your life.

"Dessy?"
"Kev!I was looking for you."
"Well you found me."
"Not really, you found me but close enough. Do you have your cell phone?"
"Yeah, sure. Why?"
"I don't know exactly what happened so don't ask me for the details but Nick was injured."
"What happened? Did he walk into another glass door? Or fall down the stairs again?" Kevin asked, remembering all of Nick's little 'accidents'.
"The boy is too clumsy for his own good." He concluded.
"No Kev, this wasn't his fault. Serenity just dropped her jennifer lopez butt sized suitcases on his head."
"She did what?"
"You heard me."
"How the hell did she manage that?"
"Dunno."
"This just isn't our day is it?, i'll call the ambulance. Go make sure she doesn't do anything else to harm another person in this aiport. Last thing I need is a suitcase."
"On my way."

From that point on everything occurred so quickly. The flashing red lights. The paramedics. The panic. People circling the area trying to see what was going on. Her eyes sparkled. The tears trying to roll out without success. She wouldn't allow herself to show people this sign of weakness. Her head started pounding, the surrounding area became blurry. Everything was spinning until it turned black. Slolwy opening her eyes she felt a cut on her forehead. She touched it with her finger and felt blood gushing out of it. She couldn't move. Her entire body seemed numb. As she looked to her right she saw the car, going up in flames.

"Ms. Your friend was a very brave young lady. I don't know if you realized what just happened. A driver under the influence drove into the sidewalk. She jumped to push you out of the way. She got hit instead of you. She saved your life. You should be very grateful" A police officer spoke to her. "Now lets get you some help. You're not in a very good state either." He turned his back to her.
"WAS? what do you mean was?"

"What? this can't be hapening again. It's in the past it's over. Amber's gone, Destiny. What the hell is wrong with you?" She said to herself.
Was this a dream?

"Are you awake ma'am" A nurse asked.
Destiny opened her eyes. She looked around. She was in a hospital. There were flowers beside her bed and few chairs covered with coats.
"What am I doing here?"
"You fainted. We're not really sure what happened. You seemed to have gone into some coma. The doctor was pretty sure you'd step out of it but your friends seemed worried. Especially the one with the rainbow colored hair."

Destiny smiled and sighed in relief. She knew it was time to talk to someone. This event was haunting her since she was 16, she couldn't go on living without confessing to someone. She still didn't understand how something like this could happen to her because after all everything is supposed to be peaceful in a small town. Nothing interesting ever happens. But of course she was different...tragedy hit her where she least expected it: In her safe, protected spot. She would tell the guys later, after she managed to get out of the rock surface they called a bed and after she got desposed of the pain AJ called his best friend.

"So bandage boy, how you doin?" AJ said referring to the bandage that currently surrounded Nick's head.
"Oh I'm doing fine. At least I know what's wrong with me. We still have no clue why Des blacked out."

"She's a strong woman, boy. Don't give up hope." AJ told Nick but mainly said it as a reminder to himself. He knew it wasn't normal for a young woman to faint and slip into a coma. In a way he felt angry because there was something in her life that she wasn't sharing with him. In a weird way, that disturbed him. He wanted to know everything about her. He knew he was being rediclous because one can't get to know a person in 2 days. They weren't realy on speaking terms before that. Anyway, she might not even know what happened. Probably just a one time thing.

"I'm not giving up hope Alex. I know she's okay. I just wish that they would tell us that too so we can get the hell outta here fool' cause this place stinks."
"It's a hospital Nick, it's not supposed to be cheery." He said.
"No, I mean it literally stinks."
AJ laughed at his comments. Nick was still the youngest. He still had so much to learn, so much to experience.
"Now if you don't mind i'm gonna get me some chocolate." He said pointing at the vending machine.
AJ rolled his eyes as his friend hurried to get a snack. "And he told Destiny he didn't like chocolate. How would he have kept up that lie?"

"God damnitt work you stupid motha..."
"Nah uh, no cussin at something that can't cuss back. That wouldn't be fair."
"It stole my dollar!" Nick whined.
"An ENTIRE dollar?" She laughed.
"Okay...so it's not a lot but i was hungry.
"Well if we're speaking about an ENTIRE dollar, now, I'll just have to help you."
She said as she approached the machine, turned her back to it and smacked her booty against it. The chocolate bar fell down and she grabbed it. Nick looked shocked.
"What?"
"What did you just do?"
"I married a blue ape wearing a sweater. What do you think I just did? I got your snack. Here ya go." She said handing it to him.
"Right...thanks and congrats."
"On what?" she looked confused.
"Your wedding."
She smirked, "right".
"What's your name? just so i'll know who to address my wedding gift to."
"Carrie, yours?"
"Nick."
