Simon was silent as the EMT took April away from him.  He just sat there for a moment looking at the car wreckage, his hands stained red with April's lifeblood.  How did this happen?  The day had started so innocuously, but now it was like a tornado had touched down and sent his life into disarray.  Simon got up and slowly staggered past the bystanders.  He saw the familiar logo of Providence Hospital emblazoned on the side of the ambulance as it sped away.<br/><br/>Simon had to be there for her.  It was his fault that she got into the accident and he would need to be there by her side to apologize when she would wake up.  Despite his words, he liked April's company much more than he cared to admit.  First though, he would have to go home and get changed and shower.  People were liable to misunderstand if he showed up at the hospital with blood-stained clothes and hands demanding to see a patient.<br/><br/>~~~<br/><br/>Chris decided that since April wasn't around he would go to the bar and lay a bet on the team.  His friends were all there waiting for their prodigal friend and for a hour or two Chris luxuriated in the camaraderie he had missed in the last few weeks.  Chris was on his second beer watching the game when he got the call.  He was horrified, he knew that April had driven off earlier in the day but she had been in an accident?<br/><br/>Chris passed around his apologies as he paid his tab.  Despite everything, April was still his wife and he had an obligation to be by her side.  He ran out to his car and started driving towards Providence Hospital.<em>Hold on, Chris is on his way....</em>
