15th November, 2008
It had been a few days since Tracy had last seen Nathan, she had been busy, he had been busy, but she was missing his company. So she had left him a voice mail message asking him to come and meet her in Queens. She wanted to spend some time with him, and some fun time at that.
She wanted to be ridiculously childish, and go to a local amusement park, go on as many rides as she could possibly think of and then follow it through with a trip to the cinema. Well that had been the plan at least, knowing her luck the minute Nathan arrived and she mentioned what she had planned he would think she was crazy.
So now, here she was sitting in the cafe she told him she would be waiting on him arriving and drinking a cappuccino. She hoped he would be able to spend at least one fun day with her before he had to go back to his hard work.

Getting out of the shower, Nathan began to dry off. Keeping his phone everywhere with him, he reached into the pocket of the light brown pair of pants on the bathroom floor. He looked at it seeing he had voicemall and a missed call. Answering the voicemail message, he listened to it as he continued to dry off.
It was Tracy, he smiled. He missed her. The last time he saw her was after he was elected president. Election Day. Exitting the bathroom he walked to his bedroom and began to get dressed. He felt casual today. No business suits, tie, anything. Tracy wanted to meet him at some cafe for some reason. So as he slid his jacket and locked his house, he hopped into his car. Igniting it with a quick jolt of his wrist. He began to pull out into the drive way. Not noticing, a vehicle had turned onto the same road speeding, he continued into the street.
BAM!! The noise of shattered glass and possible crush bones echoed through the calm breeze. The speeding car hit the drivers rear end. This spun Nathan's car 180 degrees and flipped it over. The airbagged did deploy, but since everything happened so fast it didn't deploy until after the car was flipped. Hanging there, Nathan was impacted by the air bag at his neck. It began to close his airways. He slowly couldn't breathe and began to loose consciousness.
While later he opened his eyes again. He noticed he was being rushed threw a Hospital hallway. He watched the lights go by one by one. This made him a bit nausious so he closed his eyes again and went back into unconsciousness.

Tracy had been waiting for Nathan for quite some time now, and he hadn't appeared. She began to worry, because it was very unlike him to be late for anything. After a short while, she phoned him, and it went to his voice mail again. She sighed, but rather than leave a message, she began to make her way to where he currently lived.
After about half hour she had reached the street where Nathan lived, and as she looked ahead of her, she saw a mess on the ground. Shattered glass was everywhere, some of it she noticed looked very like the kind of glass you get on a vehicle. It was also just outside Nathan's house. Panic began to set in, as she fumbled for her phone and called the General Hospital to ask if Nathan Petrelli has been in accident, and that's when her heart fell.
She quickly made her way to her own home, got in her car and sped, she didn't know how fast she was going and didn't care, all the way to the hospital. Rushing up to the reception, she spoke to the receptionist with much panic in her voice.
"Pet...Nat..." she could hardly get the words out, "Nathan Petrelli please?" she asked in as steady a voice as she could muster, as she watched the receptionist's face for any signs, but she wasn't giving anything away.
"One moment please" the receptionist said and Tracy stood looking around her, trying to figure out where he would be, when a nurse appeared from nowhere.
"Nathan Petrelli?" the nurse asked and Tracy nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Yes, do you know what happened?" she asked the nurse.
"I'm sorry, no, but if you follow me, I'll take you to someone who can tell you more"
Tracy followed the nurse with a heavy heart, wondering what she was about to see, or hear.

Still unconsious, Nathan sat on the bed that was in the middle of Emergency Room 4. The doctors began to calm his bed down and try to get it stable. He had a broken spine, which most likely would have him paralyzed. He also had a broken femur and a broken right arm.
He laid there in pain, though he did not feel a thing. All he could see was everything. His body below him with the doctors and nurses surrounding it. He thought he was gonna die. He became scared and worried about Tracy.

Tracy still hadn't been told anything. She had just followed the nurse to where ever they had taken Nathan. She was really worried, she hoped it was nothing too serious. However when the nurse stopped outside the room and Tracy caught a glimpse through the window, she felt like she might collapse. She couldn't believe what she saw.
Finding her voice, she managed to bring herself to speak to someone she hoped would help.
"Can someone tell me what's going on please? How is he? I'm his girlfriend" she added, just in case they wouldn't tell her anything. She then began to wonder if she should phone Claire and Angela, they would probably want to know about this.
"Don't you dare die on me Nathan Petrelli" she found herself saying, meaning to say it to herself, but shocked when she realised she'd said it out loud, and then she began to cry. It wasn't mean to happen like this. He wasn't meant to get in an accident, he wasn't meant to die. He was supposed to have met her for a fun day.

As they began to work on Nathan, a nurse glanced of at the door. She saw a woman looking in through the small glass. She looked worried. "I am going to step out quickly. Be right back." she said. She made her way back to the door. Opening the door she looked over at the woman.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
Nathan laid in the same room the nurse just left. As they began to connect him to the machines and put a mask over his head. This mask was to keep him asleep, good for him and the doctors.

As Tracy stood at the window of the room Nathan was in, she became more and more worried about what was happening to him. She was certain she was going to lose him and she really didn't want to. Well of course she didn't, she loved him, her life wouldn't be complete without Nathan.
After a short while a nurse came out and began to ask Tracy if she could help her. She wasn't sure they would tell her anything or let her in, but what else could she say than the truth?
"I'm Tracy Strauss and I'm his girlfriend, can you please tel me what's going on with him? Is he going to be okay?" she asked witha sad smile.

The nurse nodded with a straight face. "Im sorry to here that. He suffered a fracture to his head, which put him into an unconsious state. He fractured many bones. But the serious one is his spine. He fractured it. He is paralyzed waist down" the nurse said. "I am sorry. Do you know any of his relatives. If so you should call them." she continued as she began to head towards the room.

Tracy couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was just awful. So did this mean Nathan would never walk again? Or could he with physio. What would his family think. So many questions running through Tracy's head before she could properly grasp what the nurse was telling her and asking of her.
"So this paralysis, is it permanent?" Tracy asked, as she tried to bite back the tears so she could talk. Not that Tracy would leave Nathan, she couldn't, she loved him too much to leave him. She was more concerned about what it would do for his career as President.
"I do, I'll call them just now, so I can't come in and talk to him can I? If he's unconscious" Tracy said sadly, even though she already knew if he was unconsious he wouldn't be able to talk. It was just one of those stupid questions you asked at times like this. Then she stepped away to the payphone on the wall knowing that she couldn't use her cellphone in the hospital and began to dial Angela's number. Angela and Nathan's numbers were the only ones she had as well as Claire's of course, any of the other family members Angela would have to deal with herself.
Of course Angela and Claire had reacted pretty much the way she had expected them to react and they both said they'd arrive at the hospital as soon as possible.
[ooc: do you want me to bring Angela & Claire into this or leave it?]

"Im sorry. But its to early to tell about his condition." she said as she continued back to the room in which Nathan was of course still unconsious. His memories, life flashed before his eyes. The day he saved New York. The day he met Tracy. And upon all the other great things that happened in his life. He knew he was in a serious condition. His mind replayed the last scene of his over and over again, after all the great moments he experienced again.

There really wasn't much else Tracy could do was there? The nurse had explained things best she could, told her that they didn't know about the paralysis. It was too early to tell she'd said. Tracy hung her head slightly.
"When will you be able to tell?" she asked the nurse, she didn't mean to be so pushy about things, but Tracy loved Nathan so much, she didn't want to lose him.
She had hoped they would have got married, had a perfect life together, and now it looked like that life was about to be ripped away from her. She couldn't stand it.

Claire was devastated when she got the call from Tracy to tell her about Nathan. She had just begun to bond with her biological father, she didn't want to lose him. And as much as she loved Noah, he just had too many secrets about the company he worked for and their dealings Claire continued to trust him less and less. In the meantime she grew closer and closer to Nathan.
Claire arrived at the hospital within about half hour after she got Tracy's phone call and she immediately went running to where Tracy said she would be. Claire was so devastated she didn't know what to do first. Should she hug Tracy, or should she just go straight to the window of the room and look inside.
She decided on the latter, as she stood with her hands on the glass and stared into the room. Sadness and grief finally taking over her as she crumbled to the floor in a heap of tears.
"I don't believe it Tracy, I don't believe it" she began to ramble, "He can't die, he can't die, I wont let him die" she rambled some more, then she managed to pick herself up off the floor and finally threw herself into Tracy and began sobbing unable to take it anymore.

Angela had got a phone call from Tracy to tell her Nathan had been in an accident and was in a bad way at the hospital. Angela refused to believe it at first. Nothing would happen to Nathan, nothing ever happened to The Petrelli's. However the concern in Tracy's voice made her wonder just how serious it actually was.
When she stopped talking to Tracy, she called Claire, or at least she tried to call Claire. However, it went to the voicemail, so she figured Claire already knew and was there, or Tracy was on the phone telling Claire at that very moment.
So Angela did the only thing she could do, she took off to the hospital, hoping and praying Nathan would be alright, she couldn't lose Nathan. The minute she arrived she hurried herself off to where Tracy said he would be. As she approached, she saw Claire in the arms of Tracy and looking like she was in a complete state. This made Angela immediately think the worst as she approached them both with her hand on her heart.
"Oh Tracy, please tell me he hasn't..." but she couldn't bring herself to say the words. However, she did notice the window of the room and she looked through it and saw him. If he was dead, then he just looked like he was sleeping.

As the nurse entered the room, Nathan began to awake. Slowly his eyes began to flicker, he began to moan of the pain. He could feel every single ounce of pain he endured in the accident. The nurse quickly ran to Nathan as she grabbed a needle on a metal tray next to the bed. She stuck it in the clear wire and pressed down. As the liquid flew down the wire and into his body. Soon afterwards Nathan's moan became more distant, until he disappeared.
The nurse pulled the needle out of the wire and set it back upon the tray. Nathan was now sedated. She decided to go back out to the hallway and update Tracy. Making her way to the door, she saw another girl looking in. She wondered whom she was. Opening the door, she exitted the room. "Hello." she said.

Tracy felt completely helpless. She couldn't be in the room, she couldn't get to talk to Nathan, and she felt she couldn't do anything to help Claire who seemed to have fallen in a heap at that door of the room her father was in. The next thing Tracy knew however, was Claire hurling herself into her arms.
Tracy held her tight, trying to calm the girl as much as she could. "I don't know why darling, I don't know why, but we wont let him die, I can assure you of that" Tracy said with determination.
Then Angela walked into the hospital, she seemed very upset, especially when she'd asked her if Nathan had, well she couldn't bring herself to say the word but Tracy knew exactly what she meant.
"No he hasn't Angela, but he's in a very bad way" she said softly, speaking over Claire's head which was resting on her shoulder.
