Chapter 1
Justin paced up and down in the emergency waiting room, anxiously awaiting any news of Marci's condition. A familiar ringing vibration within his pants pockets interrupts his pacing. "Hello?"
"Justin, where are you? Everyone's looking for you. We came back and
found Marci and you missing."
"Jace, Marci's in the hospital…fighting for her life," Justin sobbed
out the last part.
"I'm on my way. Which hospital?"
“Ben-Taub"
JC hears a loud scream in the background.
"It's pretty hectic here," Justin explained.
"So I hear. I’ll see ya in a few."
"Thanks, man. Bye."
Justin hears another yell for help and turned around, only to see two women rush in. One looked no older than 26 years old, 5' 6", with gorgeously straight brown hair, brown eyes, and skin-tone make-up complimenting her complexion. She was dressed in a light pink top covered her sky blue designer jacket. A pair of white hip hugging capris clothed her legs, and she finished off her outfit with a pair of white heel sandals. Meanwhile, the screaming one looked about two or three years younger than the brown-haired beauty, had her long, curly blonde hair pulled back into a sweaty ponytail out of her face, green eyes, and a light coat of make-up to give her face some shine. She looked as if she just came from some place classy dressed in a sexy yet classy black and white diagonal-striped maternal dress shirt, a pair of black dress pants accessorized with her pair of black low-heel sandals. The two women were definitely a sight to see.
As fast as the women had rushed in, a nurse had them disappear behind into some elevator doors leading to what he assumed was the women's center. The closure of the elevator doors sent Justin right back into his screaming thoughts of how his fiancée is doing.
His thoughts were soon interrupted when he heard JC's voice call him out of his thoughts as he hovered over Justin. As soon as he heard JC's voice, he began to explain to him the little information he did know. JC, shocked speechless, sunk down into the empty chair next to Justin. JC has known Marci since MMC days when Marci used to always hang around the set since she was the director's daughter. She got
along with everyone. Everyone except Lana Davis, that is. At the very thought of his conniving ex, JC growled. Justin heard JC growl and shot him a confused look. JC only responded by setting out to get some coffee.
"Is there a Mr. Timberlake out here?" a nurse called.
Justin's head shot up, "Right here."
The nurse explained, "The surgeon told me to come out here and update you on Miss Miller's condition. They are still working on her, but it appears that she has crushed her pelvis, punctured her right lung, comatose, and seems to have a contusion. It could be a little while longer before we know the full extent of how she’s doing."
Justin nodded his head in understanding. The nurse disappeared, and Justin sunk back into the hospital chair.

"We're losing her!"
"The oxygen is leaking out of her lung faster than her body is receiving it."
FLATLINE.
