((lmao! i bite my tongue, burn my tongue, bite my cheek, etc all the time!))
Cara ran after Audrey and grabbed her arm before she got into the room. "Sweetie, you're not working now. You are going to sit down in your office, and relax. I'll handle all your patients. If you need me, you know where I am." she said, dragging Audrey to her office and physically forcing her to sit down on the couch. "Cara! Let go of me! I'm fine!" Audrey protested. Cara just ignored Audrey, walked out of the office, and closed the door.

((Same! And when I'm nervous I chew on my cheek or my lip, and sometimes I bite it too low, but I don't cry.))
Alex just stayed still.

((ya! nobody cries for that past the age of like 3!)) Audrey just sat on the couch in her office. She felt guilty. Guilty for snapping at Cara, and moreso, she felt guilty for letting Alex go. She shouldn't have let him go. If she had begged him or maybe even yelled at him, he would have stayed and he would be alright now. Cara walked over to Greg, who was just getting off of the phone. "I just called Mr. Wilhelm and Alex's sister. They're on their way." he said. Cara nodded. "How's Alex?" she asked. Greg shrugged. "He just got out of surgery. They cleaned him up and stitched up the cut on his head. The had to do surgery on his side because the gash was really deep and actually cut into part of his kidney. They repaired it, but, there's still a good chance of infection. I managed to get his shoulder back into place but he'll be in a sling for a while. Something he has too that I didn't realize at first when I brought him into the ambulance was that he has two cracked ribs. They'll heal on their own. There's really nothing much we can do for that. We just kind of put them back into place and now time has to take his course. Other than that, he's got cuts and bruises everywhere. His hands were cut up really bad and burned a little bit. The burns were only first degree so we bandaged them up and that should heal in time. He's stable now but he's still unconscious and we really don't know if he'll make it." Greg explained with a sigh. "How's Audrey taking everything?" Cara shrugged. "She's being her typical self whenever something upsets her. She's pretending she's fine but she's all cold and distant. She's being snappy too. She's definitely upset." she said. Greg nodded. ((there now, you have some characters to actually play! ))

Caro, Mike and Alex's dad got to the hospital as quickly as they could. They had dropped the boys off at one of Caro's friend's houses on the way, because they'd be a pain at the hospital.

((kk))
Cara walked into Audrey's office. She was huddled up in a ball, lying down on the couch. She wasn't crying or anything. She just looked sad. "Hey. You alright?" Cara asked, sitting down next to her. Audrey shrugged. "I shouldn't have let him go..." she murmured. "What do you mean?" Cara asked. "If I didn't let him go, he would be okay now." Audrey said softly. Cara sighed. "Sweetie, it's not your fault. Think about it. If you told him that you didn't want him to go, there would have been a huge fight between you two, and he would have gone anyway. He's not the type of guy that just sits back when people need his help. He would have gone and he still would have gotten hurt and you would be in here feeling worse because you fought with him." she said. Audrey shrugged. "I guess..." she said. "Greg called Alex's dad and sister. They're coming to the hospital. Maybe you should go out and talk to them. Greg promised me that as soon as Alex is stable enough for visitors, he'll let you go see him. Come outside and we'll wait for Mr. Wilhelm, Caroline, and Mike." Cara said. Audrey nodded and stood up. She walked outside with Cara and sat down in the waiting area.

((I'm backish. I have to give the animals a bath though, which won't take long))
Caro, Mike and Mr. Wilhelm walked into the waiting area.

Audrey shrugged. She looked like she was close to tears. "Not good..." she said softly.

Caro sighed and didn't say anything. She really hoped that her big brother would be okay.

Audrey wiped her eyes. "I just hope we can go see him soon..." she said softly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Audrey shook her head and hid her face in her hands. Cara wrapped her arm around Audrey's shoulders. "As soon as they're done with him, my fiancee will come and let us go in." she said.

K. Caro said. Mike hugged Caro from behind and she leaned against him. Mr. Wilhelm was sitting in a chair nearby listening to what was being said. He was getting old and couldn't stand for too long without resting.

Greg walked into the waiting room. "He's stable, but he's in a coma. We really don't know what will happen at this point. There's still a good chance of infection and he's really weak. You can go in and see him now, but he probably won't respond to you. Still talk to him and stuff though. It helps." he said. You could see that Greg was pretty emotional too. Alex was his best friend. It was tough. Cara squeezed Audrey's shoulder. "Come on sweetie. Let's go." she said. Audrey shrugged and wiped her eyes. "I'll let his family be alone with him first." she said.
