Jyn and Cassian rested their heads on each other as the truck bounced along the poorly paved asphalt road. Now that the initial shock was over Cassian was coming to terms with the events that had just occurred. His head still spun from everything. He was covered in cuts, scrapes, and broken glass. He felt so guilty, he was glad they were both still alive. Yet it wasn't enough, Jyn was still hurt, and he didn't know how bad. Minutes felt like hours waiting to get to the hospital. He distracted himself by looking at his surroundings. The truck was old no doubt. The seats had tears in them showing the cheap foam underneath. Coffee stains covered the front seat. Empty wrappers covered the floor. Cassian couldn't imagine having a car this dirty. He already missed his car.

Finally, they arrived in the parking lot of the hospital. The man got out of his truck and helped them both make their way to the emergency room where they were greeted by two nurses holding wheelchairs. They sat Jyn and Cassian down. "The doctor will just be a moment to check on both of you until then we're gonna get you both in your own beds."Jyn nodded not really sure if she understood anything being said to her. "Are you allergic to anything?"

Jyn shook her head. "Not that I know of." She said her throat feeling tight. It was time for her and Cassian to part ways. She watched as the nurse wheeled him down the opposite hallway. He turned his head to look at her and winked before disappearing among the busy staff. Jyn felt so alone. She wanted Cassian. even the firefighter she met would be more welcome than the silence she was currently enveloped in. Jyn shuddered sending an immense amount of pain through her body."I'll grab you a blanket sweetie."The nurse said as she finally got jyn to her makeshift room.

Jyn waited seated on the bed for the nurse to return. She watched through the break in the curtains as busy nurses and doctors scrambled every which way in some sort of organized chaos. She could hear a man talking to Cassian down a couple of beds. She wished someone would keep her company. The nurse returned with a warmed blanket and tucked Jyn underneath it. "The doctor will be one moment." She said before giving Jyn a wry smile and joining the frenzy outside. Suddenly the man who drove them there appeared.

"Hey there, I thought I'd check in on you." Jyn smiled. "Thank you"

The man walked beside her bed and grabbed her hand. "You're gonna be okay. You're lucky to have survived such an accident, you my friend are definitely tough. Maybe even tougher than your friend down there." He said whispering now jutting a thumb behind him. Jyn laughed before cringing in pain. The man looked at her sympathetically. "You're gonna need an X-ray." He said clicking his tongue. Jyn pouted.

" I just wanna get out of here, I hate hospitals. They always smell of disinfectant and old cotton." She said turning her nose up.

The man chuckled. " Well, it's not that bad. Anyway, I've got to go call some people I'll check and see how you're doing later. The names Baze By the way."

"Jyn." She said nodding feeling her heart sink because once again she'd be left alone with her pain.

Cassian laid down on the gurney as they wheeled him into the X-ray room. Once they got him set up the technologist lined up the giant white machine to his body. "Okay now sit still." The technologist instructed sternly as Cassian did his best to remain in the position they propped him in. It hurt to breathe, he just wanted it to be over. He wanted to see if Jyn was okay. He didn't care about what was wrong with him. Soon he was sent back to his room on his way back he saw Jyn being wheeled past him. He extended his arm and grabbed her hand and squeezed it before she passed. He was so angry with himself how could he do this?

Cassian stared at the ceiling as he waited for the doctor to tell him if they found anything on the scans. Cassian was beginning to feel impatient, only wanting to see if Jyn was okay. His thoughts were disrupted by a man entering behind the curtain. "Hey there Mr. Andor, how are you feeling?" He asked as he glided over to Cassian's IV line. "I've been better." He said taking a deep breath. The doctor nodded understandingly. I know you want to see your friend right now but she's just getting some X-rays done and then you guys can talk." Cassian breathed a sigh of relief. "But right now I want to talk about you Mr. Andor." The doctor paused. "I looked at your scans, they show three hairline fractures to your ribs. Most are on your back. So what this means moving forward is that you're going to have to take it easy and do not avoid coughing because that can make things a lot worse." The doctor stressed. "As for the rest of you, you will have some soft tissue damage, it is not uncommon for it to occur in the next couple days. You probably have a minor concussion as well and some whiplash so makes sure you have someone to wake you up frequently at night to monitor your status." Cassian blinked at the doctor blankly. All of this was a lot to process. "Do you understand?" The doctor inquired. "Yes sir, I'll make sure I follow your orders." The doctor gave him a small smile before leaving.

Jyn tried her best to forget the accident that put her in this hospital. She was waiting for the doctor now, getting the X-rays hurt her more than she expected. She suspected it was because the shock was wearing off, even though part of her was in denial about being in shock altogether. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the headlights through the rainy windshield getting closer and closer. She wanted to close her eyes without being reminded.

"Hey there, I'm Dr. Patrickson." A man said as he passed through the thin curtain that separated Jyn from the outside world. "I looked at your friend Cassian already." Jyn sat up hearing this worry flooding her heart. " Don't worry he's okay but I want to talk about you." Dr. Patrickson said noticing Jyn become on edge. "You got banged up pretty good." The ginger doctor said as he grabbed a seat beside her. "You have two broken ribs, one just under your breast and another at the bottom of your rib cage. Jyn sighed. "We also found multiple hairline fractures along your other ribs as well as on your collar bone." He paused pushing his hair back. "Luckily you don't need surgery. You just have to take it easy, we will give you a prescription for painkillers to ease the pain."

"Okay." Jyn nodded pulling the blanket further up.

"Do you have any family that can pick you up? And take you home?"

Jyn looked down at her scratched up hands. "No, I don't have anyone besides Cassian."

The doctor nodded. "I'll see what we can do." He picked up his clipboard and exited the room, his coat flowing behind him. The curtain was caught by a hand. Cassian peered around the corner.

"Cassian!" Jyn sat up abruptly causing her to regret her fast-paced movements. She winced but tried to hide it. Cassian was already by her side. "Hey, I'm okay. We're okay." He said brushing the hair out of her face as she laid back down. "Thank you, for saving me back there by the way. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you." He admitted stroking her hair idly.

"I wasn't going to leave you there. I couldn't." She said tears pricking her eyes. Cassian hugged her now, it hurt to lean in but he didn't care he missed her.

"I'm so sorry." He broke down. "It's all my fault." He shook his head. "I'm such an idiot."

"Cassian! Stop it! This was not your fault. Shit happens. Don't pin this on yourself cause I certainly wouldn't."

Just then the curtain opened. It was Baze. "If you guys wouldn't mind, I can take you home." Cassian looked at Jyn who nodded. "Please. I don't wanna be in this place another second.
