Chapter 16

didnt want you all to have to wait too long...hope you like the chapter...sorry in advance...but that is all Im gonna say. Next update will prob. be Friday.




She couldn’t believe it still as she was sitting in the hospital just waiting.

She remembered she was mad because she was going to be late and then Katy wouldn’t answer her phone…which didn’t help. But it all changed when she walked up to the apartment. The door was closed but not locked which at the time Hadley didn’t even think of…she walked in and instead of finding her papers for her presentation she saw a mess and then Katy on the floor….not awake….not moving… so now she was at the hospital just waiting.

The cops got her statement and then Hadley called into work explaining the situation and how she wasn’t leaving the hospital and leaving her best friend alone. She remembered that bad feeling and now she knew that what was happening now was what the bad feeling was…her best friend was fighting for her life.

---Meanwhile in LA---

They had just landed and the first thing Sidney wanted to do was call Hadley. After the past few nights they had together couldn’t have been more perfect…if he could’ve worked it out he wanted her with him…but she had that presentation and she told him how excited it was for her because it was her first really big account that she was heading up.

He knew that but he also knew that the presentation was until later..but she wasn’t answering.

This was weird because she always answered even if it was only for a minute. He just had a feeling that something was wrong

--- Back in Pittsburgh----

It now had been almost 10 hours since she had found Katy in the apartment and still nothing…she noticed the doctor walking out in her direction. Katy didn’t have any family so Hadley was it.

“Miss, you came in with Katy Winters?”

“Yes…it she ok…I don’t even know what happened she was just there” Hadley said feeling the breakdown starting, she knew it was bad.

“I’m sorry we have done everything we can. She is in a vegetative state. Her brain was deprived of oxygen for too long. She isn’t going to wake up. Since you are her only contact information it is up to you”

She felt the tears running down her face she couldn’t say anything. She just stared.

“I don’t want to pressure you but if you decided to donate her organs you only have a certain amount of time” the doctor said and stepped away

Just then her phone rang again but it was the first time she noticed it. She saw it was Sidney and decided she had to answer. As soon as she did she broke down.

“Hads…what wrong…”

“Katy….” but she started crying uncontrollably.

“Hads Katy what” he knew that it wasn’t about work she and Katy weren’t on the account together.

“OMG she ‘s dead” she said almost in a whisper as it hit her again and the tears started again.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEAD” Sidney was now having to basically yell so he could try and get her attention. He also got the guys attention to.

The yelling surprised her enough to get the tears to stop momentarily. “ I mean she is dead…I left my presentation stuff at the apartment last night because I was excited and Katy wouldn’t answer her phone…I was mad at her for not…” but Sidney cut her off

“Hads what happened” he was now well past being worried as the shock began to set in on him.

“I had to go back to my place and I opened the door and she was on the floor. She wouldn’t wake up so I called 911 and I’ve been her waiting all day…they really just told me she was dead.”

“Hadley…” but he stopped he wasn’t sure what to say

“I have to decide what to do…I don’t know we never talked about it…I don’t know….I have to go…Bye Sid”

He was just sitting there staring at his phone.

“Sidney what the hell was that man…” Jordan asked him

“Hadley…ummm.”

Max now cut in “ Is she ok?”

“Im not sure...she just said Katy is dead”

The entire locker room froze in the tracks and Jordan fell down to the bench. He and Katy may have broken up but he cared about her so much so that he was planning on breaking up with Heather and trying to get Katy back. Everyone including Sidney had looked over to him but Sidney’s thought quickly returned to Hadley…he knew Katy was all she really had after Felix.

“I couldn’t get anything else out of her she was so upset. I have to get to her. I have to get to Hadley” was all Sidney could get out of his mouth.

Because the game was over and they were heading back to Pittsburgh that night all the guys got dressed as fast as they could, and Sidney immediately went to Mario to get the plane ready as soon as he could.

---Hours Later---

Hadley was still sitting at the hospital she couldn’t leave. She had decided to donate Katy’s organs but she couldn’t leave Katy she just sat there in the waiting room.

Sidney had gotten a hold of Hadley again and got her to talk long enough to tell her what hospital she was at. He knew she wouldn’t leave Katy.

He finally found her sitting in the waiting room. He couldn’t get to her fast enough.

She heard her name and finally looked around and saw Sidney, Max, Marc and Vero coming towards her. She felt relief for the first time since she left Sidney’s earlier that day or was it yesterday now…she couldn’t be sure. That relief didn’t last though when she saw Jordan walking behind everyone. Even though things had ended badly between Katy and Jordan she knew they both still had feelings for each other.

Sidney just wrapped his arms around Hadley and just held her. He was glad that she wasn’t crying anymore but he didn’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Everyone just sat there until the doctors came out and said that they weren’t able to do the donation process because the police had stopped it.

“What do you mean” Sidney just asked the doctor.

“I don’t know if I should tell you this but they have ruled it a homicide.”
