Second Chances
By Melissa
''Monk!!! Monk!!'' Victor ran screaming through the house.
''What is it Victor?'' Kevin asked grabbing Victor by the shoulders.
''They found Lucy and Scott!! You were right they were'nt dead!!'' Victor exclaimed.
''OH That's wonderful!!'' Kevin pulled Victor in hugging him. He couldn't deny that he was thrilled - just because Lucy and him were spilt up didn't mean he didn't care for her or hope that she wasn't alright. Now he was happy things could get back to normal - Well about has normal has things were ever since Lucy left he hadn't had a decent hour's sleep for the past week.
''Not exactly Monk.....'' Victor trailed off release Kevin from the embrace.
Kevin could sence that something was wrong in Victor's eyes ''Victor what is it? I thought you said Lucy was alright...'' Kevin asked nervously.
''I never sad that I said that they found her'' Victor said shifting his eyes away from Kevin's he didnt have the courage to say it to his face ''Monk, Lucy's in a coma it looks....it looks serious... it doesn't seem like she's responding....'' Victor's voice turned shaky Lucy was like a daughter to him and no matter how far apart they were he knew Kevin and Lucy were a part of each other he knew thinking of losing her would rip Kevin apart - and it did
With that Kevin's face turned pale has he sunk to the couch spechless
''Is she alright? Can I go see her? How is she? DAMMIT WILL SOMEONE ANSWER ME!?!'' Scott went frantic so far the doctors hadnt said a word about Lucy's condition to him besides she was a coma not responding. He looked into the blinds of the room they had Lucy in just to catch a glimpse of her before they were closed ''Oh God Lucy what did I do to you?'' Scott thought aloud.
A While Later....
Kevin arrived at the hospital just stopping a spilt second to ask were Lucy was at. He made it to the waiting area next to Lucy's room to see Scott staring through the closed blinds Kevin startled him spinnning him around violently.
''What the hell did you do to her?!?'' Kevin asked fighting every urge to punch Scott then and there but he knew he had to find out what happened to Lucy.
''Who do you think you are?'' Scott asked angered sraming out of Kevin's tight grip.
''How many times have I told her I knew it I just knew it that one of these days one of these sceams was going to catch up with the both of you! And look of course Lucy is the one to get hurt! God forbid you tihink of someone else!'' Kevin yelled hate burning in his eyes.
''Listen Collins this may be hard for you to get through that thick scull of yours but ever consider Lucy has a mind of her own! You cant blame this one me! I did not force her to come on this trip with me!'' Scott yelled back.
''Of course you didnt! Its never your fault is it? Well let me tell you something now the woman I love is in a hospital bed once again because of you! Do you even give one Damn about her?''
''Like you do! Do you have any clue what hell you've put her through your greatness?? Of course you dont! and whats with this woman you love stuff! You only love Lucy when its convient for you! You never gave a Damn about her admit it'' Scott cut Kevin off.
''Get out of my way'' Kevin said sternly.
''Like hell Im letting you in there... I let you hurt her once I wont let you do it again...'' Scott answered not moving a muscle if Collins wanted to get in there he would have to get through him first - and that's exactly what he did Kevin shoved Scott out of the way and entered Lucy's hospital room.
Kevin softly shut the door behind him when entering the dark room. He didn't even stop to check if there were any doctors in with her. But there werent he almost hoped there were - he was alone with her. He felt the guilt rip at him as he watched her lay there motionless. It took all he had to walk over to her. He gently moved a misplaced strand of hair from her bruised face with his forefinger. He took a seat at the small stool and pulled it towards her bed.
''Hey Lucy looks like you got yourself into another one of your crazy scams again... What in the world possesed you to do it? Why do you always mix yourself up with these things? You know Lucy you always manage to get yourself in the deepest do you realize that? You're always the one that ends up in these hospital beds....'' Kevin chuckled at himself '' Look at me youre in a coma and Im still lecturing you! you think I would be able to stop... It's just that it makes me so unbelievablly angry to see you hurt yourself like this with out even..... look there I go again rambling on lecturing you when really I should be telling you how much I need youand love you and most of all how sorry I am....'' Kevin explained.
He laid his head softly down onto her cheast when he said the last words ''I guesss what I mostly came here to say though is goodbye. I want to work things out with you so badly I want to be with you but we cant - we cant keep hurting each other like this, its all turned into one sick game - you hurt me then I hurt you back until weve hurt each other so bad that'' Kevin's voice became shaky ''that we cant be together without needing to hurt each other Im sorry Lucy the truth is....its just getting to hard to be honest with each other without us hurting one another If I could stay with you without hurting you I would the selfish part of me is just telling me to stay here with you to cary you back with me to the lighthouse and live happily ever after - pretend like all this never happened - but it did Lucy and I'm...I'm just not sure if we can get through it but please always remember Lucy Coe that I Love You please hold that with you I Love You and cant deny it anymore but I cant hurt yuou either - goodbye ''
Kevin lifted up his head and wiped the tears from his cheeks. He regained his posture and got up from the chair. He kissed her forehead and was about to leave but couldnt stop gazing at Lucy's still body He stood there just a while longer taking in every charicteristic of her pale face breathing in everything about her. It was to hard to leave. He would stay for another 30 minutes or so but then he knew he had to leave her alone - for both their sakes.
Scott stopped Karen when he saw her coming towards Lucy's room.
''Karen! How bad is the coma? Is she going to be okay? Did they run any tests?'' Scott asked frantically bombarding Karen with questions.
''Wait Scott! They didnt have enough time to tell me much about Lucy's condition I was just pages about fifteen minutes ago Im going to check on her now they're getting the tests set up right now that's all I know im sorry'' Karen answered.
''Can I at least see her?'' Scott asked
''I dont think they really want visitors in with her right now before they can run some tests...''
''So Collins can come and go has he damn well pleases but I dont get to see her thats just great!'' Scott replied aggresivly
''Kevin is in there?''
''He pushed through me and raged in there like he was some kind of king!'' Scott exclaimed
''Well maybe it is for the better if he is in there with her'' Karen answered.
''Better? Dont you remember the hell he put her through?''
''He was also with her through the whole Rex Staton deal - Im not saying that he didnt hurt her just that he was there for her'' Karen answered.
''There for her? Do you have any idea....''
''Listen Scott I have no time to argue so if you want to find out whats wrong with Lucy let me go see her before I have to push y own way through also!'' Karen yelled Scott finally moved out of the way. He hadnt realized until that moment how absolutly angry he was. And for the first time realized that it wasnt only at Kevin - he knew deep down inside that he was angry with himself for everything - Kevin might have hurt Lucy that one day but Kevin was right Scott had been hurting her since day one with all his crazy scams and stupid games. He was ashamed with himself but he knew how he would set things right - he would tell Lucy how he felt about her when she woke up he would be there.
Karen walked into the room to see Kevin standing over Lucy's bed watching her.
"I'm sorry I didnt realize you were stilll here Kevin... I'll come back later..."
"No thats alright Karen I was just leaving" Kevin answered heading for the door.
"You dont have to..... I mean you could stay I think it would be better for her if you would"
"Good for her? Ha theres the biggest joke Ive ever heard..."
"I know you may not think so but she loves you....she never meant to lie to you if you would just give her a chance.." Karen stated watching Kevin uncomfortablly search the room.
"Listen Karen I know your just looking out for Lucy's best intrest but you dont have any idea what your talking about...."
Kevin said aggravated.
"No Kevin you listen! I know Lucy has stayed up every night crying over you - worrying about you so dont you give me that bull about me not knowing what Im taking about!" Karen shot back.
"Dont you DARE think about telling me what she's feeling right now like I dont know...." Kevin screamed.
"But you dont Kevin! you dont even care! All you know is that YOUR hurting right now and that YOU were lied to..... You have no idea what shes beenput through trying to protect you"
"This arguement is over" Kevin answered beginning to walk away.
"You can walk away but this is far from over...." Karen said grabbing Kevin's arm before loosing her grip. He walked out of the room Karen contemplated following him but she knew he needed time to himself to think
Kevin stormed out of the room glad to see Scott was out of sight. Another fight with Scott was the last thing he needed rigjht now. Kevin somehow made his way outside taking a seat on the ice cold stone. He took a second to breath in the crisp midnight air before lowering is head in his hands as he began to sob.
"God, I know Im probably the last person you expect to hear from now but I dont know what to do..." Kevin continued his prayer "See theres this lady in the hospital , Lucy Coe Im sure youve heard of her.... Shes not doing too well and I....I just really need you to look after her for me.... I know its asking alot but I just love her so much I cant imagine my life without her... even if we cant be together.....Im beging you" Kevin lifted his head feeling a hand on his shoulder. He jumped up a bit startled at the woman standing in front of him dressed in a sparkling white dress. He stared blankly at the figure before it hit him "Dominique......It cant be"
"How did you know" Dominique asked getting up taking Kevin's hand in her's sitting him back down next to her.
"Ive seen pictures.....not to metion Lucy's talked alot about you...wait...what am I saying you.....cant be its just not probable..."
"Why not Kevin? You prayed for a miracle" Dominique answered.
""You're here to save Lucy?"
"Well sort of... Im here to help you save her"
"How am i supposed to save her when I cant even trust her" Kevin asked.
"Exactly Kevin... you cant save her without being able to forgive her"Dominique explained.
"I have forgiven her! But she's still laying in that hospital bed fighting for her life.... she needs a miracle"
"Not a miracle.. just love You say you forgive her anyone can say it.... you need to believe it heart and soul Kevin forgive her...." Dominique answered
"But how....."
"Open up to her again.... dont be afraid to be hurt again Love hurts sometimes thats what makes it soo hard... I have to leave now go to her Kevin" And with that Dominique was gone.
Scott was sitting on the top of the hospital building staring out at the stars when he heard Dominique's voice call out
"Scott" Scott immeditily turned around to see Dominique standing in front of him.
"Dominique" he whispered.
"You dont have to protect Lucy anymore"
"What do you mean?"
"You dont need to protect her from Kevin he loves her"
"But he hurt her" Scott answered.
"She hurt him too Scott but they will pull though it I believe that"
"But I Love her" Scott argued
"Then let her choose..."
"I miss you, Dom"
"I miss you too Scott"
