The three of them took a seat again. Letting out countless of sighs. Another female doctor came out of the ER room. She again looked down to the document again and looked up.

“Ms. McCutcheon…” the tired doctor said.

“Yeah that’s me…” Shane went to the doctor with the other two beside her. “You’re uhm… you’re Ms. Morales ex – wife is it?” the middle aged female doctor asked.

“Yes…”

“Okay… Mc. McCutcheon… the surgeries went longer that it should be, there was blood loss…” The doctor went on.

“Can, can you just tell me…” Shane cut her off.

The doctor let out a big sigh. “Ms. McCutcheon… she is in a coma… there’s swelling in the left side of the brain from the impact of the hit from the car at the side…”

“Ms. McCutcheon…”

Shane looked at her right where another doctor was waling towards them. She looked at the doctor with hope until the doctors started speaking.

“You’re Ms. McCutcheon?” The doctor asked and Shane nodded.

“My name is Doctor Hudson… Ms. McCutcheon the main concern when we did the surgery was there was a long piece of glass sticking out from you daughter’s neck…” the doctor started.

“Doctor, doctor please…I can’t wait another second…”Shane said.

“Ms. McCutcheon… I’m sorry, there was just too much blood lost. The glass was the central focus and once……

Shane let go of the hands and grabbed the doctor’s white coat flaps. Her eyes were mean, she was gritting her teeth. She pushed the doctor at the back of the wall.

“You, you listen to me… you’re not telling me that… you understand me? You are not telling me that you couldn’t save my daughter…” She felt the pull from Ed and Alice.

“I’m, I’m sorry miss… there was nothing else we could do…” The doctor pleaded.

“NO!!” Shane screamed. Ed and Alice managed to get Shane’s strong grip away from the doctor. “NO!!” Shane kicked the seat next to her and looked back to the saddened doctor. It is never easy telling families the bad news.

Shane couldn’t cry anymore. She couldn’t stand properly, her knees shaking. She hands gripping hard on something. She was screaming and saying ‘no’. She looked at the doctor walking away and straightens his coat and let loose of his collar.

“Let go of me…” Shane muttered. “I said let go of me!!” Shane said aloud. Ed and Alice let go of her. She paced the hallway with both hands on her head. She was saying something but Ed and Alice couldn’t figure it out. Shane faced the wall, her forehead leaning the on the wall. She started smacking her hands on the wall, the slapping noises could be heard the whole wall. Ed couldn’t stand the sight of Shane, she grabbed Shane from behind with her arms kept within the bear hug. “Shane… Shane… Shh…” Ed could only say. “Lily… Lily’s gone Ed…” her voice is cracking. “My daughter is gone!!” Shane yelled out. Alice had her hands on her mouth, she hate seeing Shane like this. She too didn’t know what to do. Shane was out of her control, her sadness and angriness was mixing together. She was kicking and punching the wall one minute and have her body sliding the wall sobbing her eyes out the next. Nobody knows what’s going to happen, shane’s world was going down in a doomed spiral.
