Darkness


"Hello? Anyone out there?" Val sits up "Oh it's so dark in here, and ow! My head hurts so does my arm. Why is it so dark? Where's the light switch? Hey Brooke can you get the light? You're closer." Val looks towards Brooke's bed trying to make out the figure of it.

"Windows must be closed or something, it must still be raining too." Val figures since she hears the rain pouring down. She hears a crack of lightening. Followed right away by thunder.

Val looks around confused. "Why didn't I see the room light up when the lightening struck?" She says to herself.

She feels around and touches some machines next to her.

"OK I'm definitely not in my room" She concludes "Where am I? And why is it so dark?" She wonders

She reaches up and touches her eyes. They hurt to the slightest touch. She feels a bandage on them. "That's why I can't see" She laughs at herself for being so dumb "There's a bandage on my eyes."

She unwraps the bandage and opens her eyes and looks around. "That's weird" She says when she still can't see a thing. "Maybe the guys are playing a joke on me. Yea that's it."

"Guys!" She calls out "Not funny anymore, where are you?" Val starts to get up and starts to feel really dizzy then a pair of arms pushes her back down.

"Whoa there, you can't go off just yet Val" A Soothing voice says

"Who are you?" Val asks scared

"I'm Lily" The voice answers

"Where am I? Why can't I see anything? Who are you?" Val demands

"Your in a hospital, and I'm a nurse here." Lily answers

"Kingsport General?"

"Yes that's correct, do you remember anything?"

"We brought in a call, didn't we? That has to be it"

"No Val, I'm sorry you didn't"

"Then why am I here?"

"Tell me what you remember." Lily coaxes

"I- I - I don't remember anything, how did you know my name, and how come I can't see."

Lily hesitates a second "You were in an accident, you hit your head, and struck some nerves that cut off your vision (A/N: I don't know if that's how this can happen but I had to write something, sorry. Lol)"

"So what are you saying I'm blind?"

"Temporarily most likely, your vision should come back in a few days"

"So what happened?"

"You tell me." Lily answers

"Uh" Val crinkles up her brow in thought "I was in a car, and it was raining, then I screamed and then I woke up"

"Very good, was there anyone in the car?" Lily questions looking at the doctor that is standing in the doorway. He nods signaling Lily to keep going

"Yea my friends, three of them"

"Yes that's right. What were their names?"

"Uh Caitie was there and so was Jamie"

"Yes and who is Jamie and Caitie?"

"Well Caitie is my best friend and Jamie just joined the squad and is really good friends with Caitie i think they like each other"

"Good Val, who else was in the car?"

"Uh…..Ty…Tyler right?"

"Yes that's right."

"He crashed the car right? He wasn't paying attention?"

"That's right. Why wasn't he paying attention."

Val smiles "Cause he was yelling at Caitie and Jamie for acting like little kids."

"Good your memory is in tact, that's a good thing."

"But what about?"

"You're vision? It-"

"Should return in a week or so, until your nerves repair. I'm Dr. Pasque."

"Hi, are my parents here?"

"They'll be in, in a minute. Just relax and enjoy all the service you'll be getting for the next week or so." Dr. Pasque jokes

"Val? Honey?"

"Mom!"

"Oh sweetie are you OK?"

"I'm fine, it's just-"

"I know sweetie but it's not permanent"

"Hey Val"

"Hi Dad"

"You'll be fine, this is nothing just an obstacle you have to overcome."

"I know Dad, it's nothing" Val jokes back "Where's Brooke?"

"Right here. So you got out of this weeks paperwork I see." Brooke says in a fake serious tone.

"Yea ok Brooke, that's it" They are interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Hey can we join you?" Caitie asks

"Yea come on in" Val says

"Val, we'll be out in the hall if you need anything" Mrs. Linear says leaving the room with Brooke and her husband.

"Hey Val, how you doing?" Jamie asks

"I'm fine how are both of you?" Val asks

"Just a little scratched up, but no big deal." Caitie answers for the both of them.

"What about Tyler is he ok?" Val asks

"Tyler is fine….." Caitie says

"Caitie! What aren't you telling me?" Val demands

"Well….i don't want to uspet you…."

"By not telling me you already succeeding in that." Val says crossly

"He's blaming himself and doesn't think you would even want to see him, all three of us got released already, but we couldn't talk him into coming in here." Caitie explains

"So then I can go see him." Val says, getting up

"Whoa" Jamie pushes her back down "Where do you think your going?"

"Yea, Val I'm not a EMT or anything but you can't just get up like that." Caitie says

"But I don't blame Tyler it wasn't his fault he wasn't watching the…" Val trails off "Who are the police holding responsible?" She asks

Jamie and Caitie glance at each other.

"Guys! I don't need eyes to know that there is something your not telling me." Val exclaims

"The police are looking into it, it's probably just going to be because of bad weather conditions, but"

"But they may blame Tyler?" Val asks

"For irresponsible driving, for possibly permanently disabling someone and for endangering lives." Jamie says

"What!?!" Val cries "Where's my mom? MOM!" She calls

"Val? What's wrong?" Mrs. Linear asks running into the room

"Tell me they are not going to blame Tyler for this."Val cries

"Val" Mrs. Linear says firmly but gently "Tyler was driving carlessly he hurt all of you, and it could of been worse."

"Oh gosh tell me your not saying this" Val exclaims "Mom I don't believe you!"

"Now Val, calm down, me and your father and-"

"Leave!" Val screams "All of you!"

"Val-" Her mother tries again

"I don't want to talk to anyone I can't believe you would even try to blame this on him." Val cries

Jamie Caitie and Mrs. Linear leave silently realizing they can do nothing to console Val.

To be continued soon. I'll try for in the next few days but I have some other things I am working on. Please R&R for me.
