I'd given up hope
Losing the faith that love
Could be mine to treasure
And now
Nothing's the same
I found myself reborn

"Dana white's daughter, Pandora White was involved in a deadly car accident last night. Reports say that a drunk driver hit Pandora's car which caused her car to flip multiple times on the highway. As of right now we don't know if Pandora is in critical or stable condition. We tried reaching out to Dana and her reps but so far that haven't commented on her condition."

I stared at the black-framed wall clock for the ninth time this hour, scrutinizing the second hand, which seemed to linger an extra minute at every passing second. I took my gaze off of the clock, silently vowing to not look at it once more until absolutely necessary, not long ago I found out my friend Pandora White was in a deadly car accident hours ago and she was barely alive.

She was still in surgery, and I've been here waiting for god knows how long. I saw people scattered all throughout the room, the clacking of the keys coming from the receptionist and the constant boring commercials from the TV was driving me insane. I wanted to know what was going on with my girl right then, not ten minutes, two hours or forty years later.

Why did I let her go to that party? If I had told her to stay home, maybe this could've been avoided. I wouldn't be here sitting in this waiting room. I would be at her house spending quality time with her.

I saw the doctor come in walk over to me and stood up.

"Pandora, had a successful surgery but the road to recovery is going to be hard for her. She has a brace on her leg because the bone was cracked and she has screws in her knee holding it together. She has a bruised bone on her other leg, stitches on her left arm from a deep cut she had when she arrived. She has a mild concussion and will be staying here for a few days for observation, Pandora is very lucky." The doctor told them.

"May I see her?" I asked.

"Of course follow me." He told me.

I walked into her room, seeing her hooked up to different machines, heart monitor, an IV with three to four bags hooked up to it, and etc. I saw her right leg in a post op knee brace with her leg wrapped up in bandages under it with some blood on the bandages as well and also saw her left forearm wrapped as well. She was asleep, of course and the pain meds were making her sleep along with the other stuff as well.

I took a seat next to her bed and grab her not so damaged hand. I can't believe this is happening. Out of all people she is suffering because of someone's recklessness. I should know about being reckless behavior. I soon heard the door open.

"Oh my God, my baby." Anne Pandora's mother said walking in the room followed by her husband and my boss Dana.

"What did the doctor say?" He asked.

"He said that her road to recovery is going to be a hard one and she has a mild concussion and will be staying here for a few days for observation, Pandora is very lucky." I said.

"I'm going to sue the son of a bitch who did this to my baby girl for everything he has." Dana said angrily.

"Why does she has so many things all over her?" Anne asked.

" She has a brace on her leg because the bone was cracked and she has screws in her knee holding it together. She has a bruised bone on her other leg, stitches on her left arm from a deep cut she had when she arrived." I replied.

"My baby, I'm so sorry this happened to you." Anne said crying.

"How are you?" Dana asked.

"When I heard what had happened I dropped everything and rushed over here. I feel like I should have stop her from going out. I know she's going to have a hard time with everything and I just feel horrible." I said.

Anne rushed over to my side and hugged the life out of me. I hugged her back. Anne was like a second mother to me.

"Don't worry Conor, she'll be just fine. You know she's a fighter and she'll us by her side so don't feel horrible." She said.

"Yeah, she's a fighter." I said.

"Anne, we need to go and get the kids but Connor do you need anything?" Dana asked.

"I'm good for now." I said.

"Well don't hesitate to call us and give us updates on her, okay." Dana said.

"I will." I said.

"Good and take care of yourself and her." Anne said.

"Bye." They both said before walking out the hospital room.

This is going to be a long night.
