I wake up in a bed; I wasn't quite sure where I was. I gazed the room and saw white walls with expensive medical equipment on them. There was an IV machine next my bed; it was connected to my arm. I must have been out a while, but I knew where I was. I knew what kind a bed this was. I remember what happened. I remember what I did.
I began to panic and tried to get out of this hospital bed. I stopped when my side shot a sharp pain into my body. I grabbed my left side out of reflex which hurt. I looked at my side it had bandages around it. I touch it which sent another jolt of pain through my body. My shoulder was sore too but no caste. I rotated it and winced in pain a few times. I felt something weighing my ankle down. I looked under the blanket again and I had a caste on ankle. I also had a wicked headache. This was the only pains that I had at the moment.
I let myself fall back into the uncomfortable hospital pillow. This sent a dull throb of bouncing in my head. Besides my own painful suffering, the only other thing I could think of was Freddie. Was he ok? Where is he? I heard the sound of the door open. I turn making my brain hurt.
"Ah, Miss Pucket you're awake. That's good."
He gave me a reassuring smile. I smiled back not really meaning it though. All I wanted to know is where I could find Freddie. The doctor continued.
"Do you have very much pain?" He asked.
I shook my head even though it felt like I was hit by train.
"Well that's good. I'm going to give you some painkiller just in case you have any really bad flare up in pain." He said, writing something down on his clipboard.
I could tell he knew I was lying. I think that was why he issued those pills.
"Doc, how long have I've been out"
"2 days now"
I was shocked at this. "Doc" I said again.
"Yes"
"What's the condition Freddie Benson?" I asked; my heart was filling with anxiety.
"Mr. Benson… " he said in a different tone what he spoke.
A nurse walked in and said "doctor we need you in the trauma center."
"okay." He told her. He looked back at me "I'll have those pills sent in by a nurse" he said walking out of the room.
I feared the worst just because of the tone he said his name in. I felt like was going to explode with emotion.
(10 minutes)
I had turned on my right side to try and ease the pain. The still was wasn't in with those pills yet. I desperately needed them now. I heard the door open.
"Thank god, I needed those painkillers now." I said still facing away from the door.
"I wish I had some for you" I heard a similar voice
I turned because the voice of the person was familiar but it wasn't the doctor's. When I turned I was the happiest person in the world. I saw Freddie. I jerk up and then again but this time in pain. After the pain subsided I asked Freddie "how are you?"
"I'm fine, I only broke my leg" Freddie said pointing to his right leg.
His leg was in a blue caste. It had one of those leg cushion things so you able to walk on it. I think it still hurts a lot since he was using crutches.
"But I saw blood"
"That was a jar of tomato sauce I had in my hand." He joked. "I think you hit your head harder than me."
"Me too, I broke a few ribs and hurt my shoulder and broke my ankle." I said rubbing my temples.
"Hey we could be caste buddies" Freddie joked again.
The door opened and the doctor and my mom walked in.
"Sam, are you okay." My mom said.
My mom came running up, ready to squeeze me in a motherly hug. The doctor put his hand and was about to warn her about my ribs but he was too late. She had already wrapped her loving arms around me. She unintentional made me yelp in pain. She let go instantly.
"Oh Sam, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Hey doc do you have those painkillers now. I could really use them."
"In a matter of fact I do" he said, pulling out a prescription bottle. "Now Sam I want you to take 2 of these every 6 to 8 hour as needed for pain. Do you understand?"
I nodded in agreement and he handed me the bottle. I popped the lid off and took 2 of them dry. I swear one of them got stuck in my throat. They had the bitterest taste ever.
"Yeah it helps if you take them with something" Freddie said shaking his bottle.
The doctor was talking to my mom. They talked for a good 10 minutes. He finished and my mom nodded.
"Okay Sam you get dress and leave."
I nodded to him and rose out of bed. This time I had less trouble since the meds were kicking in now. I untied my gown and I let it fall to my feet. My mom had brought me a change of clothes.
"Uuuuuhhhhhhh, I'll be in the hall." I Freddie say and then the door open and shut.
My face turned a little red as I struggled to get dress. I had totally forgotten he was in the room. I can't believe he saw me half naked. When I finished a nurse had brought in a pair of crutches and a wheel chair. I sat in the chair and the nurse pushed it out.
Freddie was standing out in the hall like he said he would do. I called him over and he came over and used his crutches to walk out of the hospital.
As soon as we exited the hospital the nurse stopped the wheel chair and handed me the crutches. I positioned the crutches under my arm pits and began to move forward.
My mom parked what seemed a mile away. My side and shoulder were beginning to hurt from movement. We finally reached the car my opened the front door for me. While Freddie opened the back door and sat down. I had sat down too.
"Hey Sam" he said wincing in pain "do you want hang out for a bit at my place"
I looked at my mom and she nodded in approval.
"Sure, but one thing" I said in concerned voice.
"What is it" he asked worried.
"Keep me away from stairs." I said laughing
He began to laugh and I laughed harder but stopped because my side. Broken ribs suck I said to myself. I was hurt and broken but still smiling.
A/N Do to popular demand I decided to write this chapter and post. To be honest I wasn't even planning on having either Sam or Freddie get hurt in the last chapter but when I'm writing my plans aren't always followed. Thank you and I changed the title of the last chapter.
