Sequel to Want Me
Chapter 17
*Blane's Point Of View*
"Is she going to be okay? What's happening to her?!" I shouted as the EMT began to drive faster.
   "Sir, calm down. You have to remain calm so I can help her." The man replied. But I couldn't stay calm. I couldn't relax and let him help her; save her. Heidi was dying, right in front of my eyes. And so was our baby. I needed to scream, I needed to cry. I needed Heidi.
  "Please... please. You have to save her." I said, breaking down and crying. The only other time Heidi had been in danger was almost two years ago. That's when Trevor had injured her and me. That's when he killed Blane Jr. 
  But when Heidi was hurt, I wasn't there. I was in another state of mind. Unable to hear or to think. Unable to see or to speak.
  But this time I could see, speak, hear and think. And right in front of my eyes, my beautiful wife, my best friend, my only love, was dying.
  "Drive faster!" I shouted. "We have to make it there. She has to live."
  "Sir, we are almost there. The hospital is right up the road." The woman replied. I leaned my head against the metal siding and closed my eyes. I silently sobbed.
   The ambulance came to a stop and the woman jumped out of the car. She quickly opened up the back of the ambulance, and they rushed Heidi into the emergency room.
  "Come on." Alex said, appearing at the back of the ambulance. I jumped out of the back and we ran into the hospital.
  "Where did they take her?" I asked him, knowing he wouldn't have an answer.
   "I don't know. Probably to an operating room. Come on, there are some chairs. Lets sit down and wait." He replied, walking over to a row of chairs that lined the hallway.
   "I can't wait! My wife, she's... she's ...dying!" I shouted the last words in agonizing pain. Sure, it was easy to say them in my head, because they could be wrong. But saying them out loud made them all too real.
   I fell to the ground and buried my face in my hands. She can't. She can't ever, ever die on me. 
   Alex slowly walked over to me and placed on hand on my shoulder.
   "I know what you're going through." He whispered, kneeling down beside me.
   "Know you don't! You can not possibly know how it feels to have your wife and child dying right in front of your eyes!" I spit back at him.
  "No, I don't. But I do know what its like to lose the love of your life." His voice was calm, but I could hear the pain behind it. I looked up at him, immediately sorry for my harsh words.
  "Kristi and I were so in love. We were even engaged. We had been inseparable for two years before I proposed. We were on our way to her parents house to tell them about my proposal. A drunk driver ran the red light." He stopped, tears forming in his eyes. "I remember waking up in the hospital, asking for her. The nurse said that she was killed immediately by the impact. She hit her head pretty hard on the windshield. I cried myself to sleep every night. I still do, and that was a year ago."
   I felt remorse for him. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if I lost Heidi. I didn't want to.
  "I'm so sorry." I mumbled.
  He shook his head and stood up. He helped me up and we walked over and sat down in the chairs that lined the empty hall.
   Heidi was perfect. The love of my life and the only person in the world that could ever make me smile. I loved her more than anything in this cold, shallow world. But it was neither cold nor shallow when I was with her.
   That's why when the doctor walked out of the room and called my name, i cried. How could I possibly be happy, when I felt so horrible and broken inside?
