CHAPTER 2: Mistakes Can Happen
I woke to see the nurse changing my breathing tubes. I sighed. I hate breathing tubes. I closed my eyes. I heard the door open. My eyes shot open. I gasped and smiled.
"Zim! Dib! Whats up?" I asked, confused. They looked...sad. Zim walked up to the bed.
"Actually, May, we just heard some bad news."
I looked at them confused. "What is it?"
"I don't know if I can say it."
"Just say it!" I growled.
He jumped back. "Dib, you say it to her."
I rolled my eyes and looked at Dib. "Seriously, what is it?"
He sighed. "Actually, I really hate to say it but, here it goes," He paused. "Your parents were walking to work and they... they got hit by a car. Oh, I'm so sorry, May!" Tears spilled down my face once more, making a puddle on my pillow.
"S-so my parents are d-dead?!" I choked.
"I'm sorry." Dib said in a whisper, looking at the ground.
"I-I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow?"
Zim smiled. "Yea. Wait! We have something for you." He handed me a flat package.
"Thanks. I'll open tomorrow when I see you guys again."
"Ok. If you want to talk then here," He tossed me a text phone. "You can communicate with us."
I laughed. "Cool! I'll talk to you guys soon then?"
They laughed. "Yea. Bye."
"Bye."
I looked at the phone. Wonder where they got them. I decided to try it out. I typed in 'Hi' and pressed send. It buzzed. I looked at it. 'Hey. Whats up?' I wrote back, 'Nothing I wanted to try this thing out before I needed it and couldn't figure it out.' I pressed send. It buzzed again. 'Oh. Dib says hi. We'll talk to you later. Bye.' I put the phone down and sighed. I smiled. I have such great friends. Hey I wonder when I'm getting out of here. I looked around the room and sighed. Not any time soon. I mean I still have breathing tubes in me. And still have that broken arm. I wonder what happened after I went into that stupid coma. I picked the phone up. 'Hey I was wondering when you guys were coming here again.' I pressed send. It buzzed. 'Hey, its Dib. We'll come now. See ya in a second.' I put the phone down. They came in. My mouth came open.
"How did you...? Never mind. I had a few questions. One, what did that guy do after my coma?" I asked.
"Well. Actually, did you here someone yell Torque?" Zim asked.
"Yea. I did." I said, going along.
"That was his friend. His friend helped, you know, beat you up."
"Yea. I-it was horrible to watch. So we tried to help you." Dib said.
"Luckily, your parents were coming to pick you up as soon as that happened. They got scared of your parents, so they ran of." Zim said.
"Oh. So that's the story. Well Torque's gonna get it when I get out of here!" I yelled a bit too loud.
The nurse came in.
"Is everything all right?"She asked me.
I gulped. "Yea. Everything is fine."
She left. I looked at the clock. Five. My parents would be getting of work about now, coming to visit me. Silent tears fell down my face. I cry to much... My parents came in.
I stammered. "What... how... did... what?!"
I looked at Zim and Dib. Their mouths were open, staring at them. Mom and Dad exchanged looks.
I tried again. "But Zim said that you guys died in a car wreck?!"
I looked at Zim.
"I must have seen the wrong people. Sorry."
Zim shrugged.
I got mad. "The wrong people?! You scared the heck out of me! I thought my own PARENTS were DEAD! And..." I couldn't finish my sentence, because I started crying again. Zim ran out of the room also crying. "Zim!" Dib ran after him.
"Mom?"
She looked at me. "Yes?"
"Uh, never mind." I said. I pressed the call button on the remote. The nurse came in.
"I-I was wondering when I was g-getting out of here to go home." I asked, still crying a little bit.
"Actually the doctor said you could go tomorrow." She replied.
"Really?! Awesome! Thank you." I said.
She smiled and left.
"Well it's getting late, so we have to home now. See you tomorrow. Love you." Dad said, smiling.
I smiled back. "Okay. Love you too. Bye." I said. The door shut. I sighed. "I wonder..." I picked up the phone. 'Hey. Is, uh, Zim there?' I pressed send. It, amazingly, buzzed. 'Yea. This is Zim.' I replied, 'Zim! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!' I pressed send. It buzzed again. 'It's okay. I'm not mad at all. Neither is Dib.' 'I know bu... wait. Your not mad? At all?' 'No. We will see you tomorrow. See ya.' 'See ya.' I put the phone down. I can't believe that I'm leaving tomorrow. Oh! I forgot to tell Zim and Dib. What if they come tomorrow and they don't see me and think I'm dead?! Oh. Right. I'll see them in school after tomorrow. I smiled. I fell asleep, wondering what it will be like leaving this horribly white place.
Ok. I'm deciding to do author's notes at the bottom. Yay! Anyways... This is a shorter then chapter 1. I'm sorry...Please don't make an angry mob! I beg of you...laughs, running in perfect squares I wish I had one of those awesome phone text things. That would be cool. Oh and I don't know why Zim and Dib are friends. I'll make them explain later along in the story. Horrible white walls...
