Chapter 7
"Omigod! Is he alright? Is he going to be alright?" Donna said in a panicky voice.
"He's down in with doctors in the room Kevin was in he first got here. He's unconscious, but luckily he is still breathing." Nick said. "I need to go down there now, and see how he's doing."
"Wait! I'll go with you," Donna said.
Kevin, who had been off in a daze during the whole conversation, then said, " Some one needs to go find Brian! Maybe something happened to him to! Maybe he got stuffed in a closet also. If you don't go find him, I'll get up and find him myself!"
Kevin was nearly in tears now, thinking about what could have happened to his cousin.
"No, Kevin, don't get up!" Johnny said. "I'll go try and find Brian. Donna and Nick will go see A.J. and you will stay right here and rest. Here, here's the remote," Johnny said, handing Kevin the remote.
Everyone left. Kevin was left in the room by himself. He turned on the TV, turned it to MTV, and tried to relax. He couldn't though. He kept thinking what could have happened to his cousin, or what did happen to A.J.

Howie, Nick and Dona were all outside the room A.J. was in, looking in the window whatching what was going on. There were all these tubes and moniters hooked up to him.
All of a sudden, the heart moniter had a straight line on it, and there was a continuous, "Beeeeeeeeeeeeep."
A.J.'s heart had stopped! The doctors had to shock him twice before his heart started up again. Nick went and ran out the door of the hospital, terrified of what he just saw; his friend almost died.
Howie chased after him, and caught up with him. They went and sat down on a bench, out of all the rain. They started to talk.
Nick, who was doing a poor job at fighting off tears, said, "Why would something like this happen to A.J.? He didn't do anything wrong to any body, unless they fully deserved it!"
"I don't know Nicky, some times things like this just happen. It's just fate I guess. We'll just have to pray that A.J. and Kevin will both be alright."
" I wish we could find Brian, he was so much more religious and into praying than I am," Nick said kinda quietly. They both just sat there for a few minutes.
Then Howie said, " Hey, why don't we go see how A.J.'s doing, check-up on Kev and see how he's doing, and then we can go and try to find Brian. That sound O.K.?"
"Yeah, let's go."
