shhh, shhhh… its okay, its okay…
*he feels like his heart is about to explode. she was awake. she could talk. he wanted to rip the tubes from her mouth but couldn’t, not until a nurse or doctor got here*
you’re in the hospital. y-y-you got hit by a car. but you made it through, they said you might open your eyes tomorrow but you have now…! oh god Katelynn i was so scared…!
*some nurses came rushing in, finally, and began checking the girls stats while one opened her eye wide, and shined a light in her eyes, checking for signs of a concussion*
She groaned against the light, wanting to escape the pain. Her head hurt, her chest hurt; everything hurt.
One nurse lowered her robe slightly to check the beating of her heart, revealing some purple bruises along her skin. Another inserted morphine into the IV, knowing she would be in pain.
Rhonda hung back by the door, cot at the ready for when they left.
Katelynn quieted a bit when the effects of the morphine kicked in, her eyes fluttering closed. Some nurses left while one stayed, pressing more buttons. She looked over at Jack with a serious expression. “She’s knocked out again. It’s best if she keeps resting and not talk much with her cracked ribs. If she moves them too much so early in her recovery, she might puncture a lung.”
And she walked out the door, leaving it open for Rhonda to push the cot in. She looked fearfully at Jack. “What happened?”
*he had his hand over his mouth, eyes heavy with emotional pain, as he had watched all this play out. god, she’d been awake. she’s aid his name. she knew he was here. his heart ached, wanting to take her way from all these people who made her fall asleep, removing her from him again, but he knew he couldn’t, this was for the best*
s-she woke up. *he looks at Rhonda, eyes wet* Katelynn said my name… she knows i’m here…
