Sydney stood in the hospital helplessly watching a team of doctors as they rolled Will into surgery. Vaughn looked at her tear streaked face and red rimmed eyes. He cupped her face in his hands, wiping away the tears with his thumbs. She closed her eyes and leaned into him.
“It’s all my fault,” she sobbed.
Vaughn stroked her back; “You can’t blame yourself for what happened. It wasn’t your fault, there was nothing you could have done about it.”
Vaughn wished that he could comfort her; he wished he could make her pain go away. But he knew that he couldn’t do that. The best he could do, was make her forget it, but that wouldn't last very long before it came back, full force.
Sydney finally pulled away, searching his face, “Do you think he’ll be okay?”
Vaughn attempted a smile and when that didn’t work, he kissed her forehead. “He’ll be fine.” And Vaughn wished for the second time that he felt as assured as he sounded.
4 hours later
“Sydney Bristow?” a doctor approached Sydney sitting on a hospital couch next to Vaughn. Sydney stood up, grabbing Vaughn’s hand. She needed to know that he was still there. “Yes?” she asked, apprehension written all over her face.
“Will slipped in and out of consciousness after the surgery, which is perfectly normal for someone with his wounds,” the doctor paused, trying to delay the least favorite part of his job. “Unfortunately, he slipped into a coma about 30 minutes ago.
Sydney looked at the doctor, and through teary eyes asked, “May I see him?”
“Certainly,” the doctor said, and lead her to Will’s room. Vaughn stayed outside the room and watched her through the window. She pulled a chair over to Will’s bedside, and took his hand. Vaughn thought she was talking to him, but her back was to him, so he couldn’t be sure.
Why did this stuff always happen to her? Vaughn thought to himself. What did she ever do to deserve this? Vaughn’s jaw clenched as he pictured all of the gruesome ways he could kill Francie. He was pulled out of his thoughts as Sydney came out of the room. She seemed to have regained her composure.
She attempted a smile, “Why does this stuff always happen to me?”
Great minds think alike, Vaughn thought. “I was just thinking the same thing.”
“It’s always the people I love that get hurt,” she said, thinking partly out loud. “I can’t get close to anyone without involving them somehow in my life.”
Vaughn watched her face and suddenly her hand flew to her mouth. “You have to get out of here!” she whispered sharply.
Vaughn took a confused step forward, frowning. “What? I am not leaving you now Syd.”
“Vaughn?! Don’t you see?" Sydney said, losing her composure and pushing him away, "She’s targeting everyone close to me! Instead of killing me, she’s going to hurt everyone around me. You have to leave, go anywhere, but not here.”
“Sydney-“ Vaughn began.
“Vaughn! This is no time to be stubborn!” She put her hand to the side of his face and said in a softer vioce as she stroked his cheek, “if you truly love me, you’ll leave LA. Leave until I get this taken care of.” And when Vaughn still stood there staring at her, she added, “Please.”
Vaughn sighed, kissed her gently on the lips, trying to make it last as long as possible. Sydney finally pulled away. “Go before I make you stay.” Then added, “and for God’s sake, be careful. I don’t think I could bear losing another person I love as much as you.”
“You too,” he replied, before tearing his eyes away from her and heading for his car.
