Mercy awoke to the beeping and squawking of machines in a brightly
lit room.
"Where am I.." She groaned groggily. Rubbing her head she moaned slightly remembering distinctly a chair smashing against her skull and the black abyss that followed. There was a knock at the door that made Mercy cringe. The headache she had was painfully huge.
"Come in." Mercy said. A nurse in white cotton pants and matching shirt poked her head in the door.
"Are you up for any visitors ma'am?"
"Mercy! Thank God you're ok!" Shane was the first by her side pushing aside the nurse along with Jeff, Matt, and Amy who had also come to visit. Mercy couldn't help but smile at what looked like a totally different Shane. Frazzled hair, rumpled cloths, and un-shaven face.
"Gee Shane, I know I've been in the hospital for a *whole* day and I haven't been there to help you, but da-yum! You look like shit!" Mercy said smiling.
"Oh." Shane said surprised at Mercy's energy.
"Shane, I got hit in the head with a chair and fainted, not ran over by a car. I'm ok, don't worry."
"I think it's a little too late to tell him that Merc," Jeff chimed in. "He's been keeping us awake the last 24 hours with his pacing the hotel rooms. I swear to god if he would've come into my room one more time to see if I'd heard anything he'd be joining you in the hospital." Jeff said. Mercy smiled widely. She was so glad they'd all come to visit and in a weird way even more glad Shane had worried so much about her.
"You guys are really sweet for coming to visit me. You definitely are making me feel better."
"No problem, besides, it's Wednesday and we don't have any house shows, which means..."
"We're off!" Mercy said finishing Amy's sentence with a sigh of relief.
"When can we get you out of here?" Matt asked.
"I don't know. Considering I just woke up I haven't really been able to talk with anyone.
"Right.I'll go ask." Matt got up and walked towards the front desk.
"Shane.you've been awfully quiet, what's up?" Mercy questioned.
"Just thinking.ya know, just because Phoenix put you in the hospital once, doesn't mean she won't try it again."
"Shane.stop worrying for a minute or two would ya? I'll be ok! I promise."
"I'm just saying.maybe you should lye low for awhile Merc."
"What? Do you think I can't handle her or something?"
"No.it's just.she's been here longer and she could do a lot of damage...you're..."
"I'm what Shane? Not capable of solving my own problems? Or not as smart and as talented as you maybe?"
"No.that's.that's not what I'm saying.never mind.I.I think I need some air." With that Shane got up and walked out the door and out past a confused Matt who had just re-entered the room.
"What's up with Shane?"
"Don't ask me.." Mercy said annoyed.
"Merc, girl, he's just concerned about you.no need to bite his head off." Amy said softly. Mercy sighed.
"I know. I just..I just want to get out of here."
"Well, good news. I just signed you out so when you're ready, we can leave."
"Great.geeze, I wish Shane would come back so I could apologize."
"Well.he couldn't have gone far. I've go the keys." Matt said with a grin.
"Great, I'll just pack my things and we can go." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mercy, Jeff, Amy, and Matt walked out in to the parking lot of the hospital to their parking space. Approaching the car Mercy began to snicker. There Shane was, arms crossed, pout expression on his face, blaring the radio.
"Gee.who knew I had such an effect on him." Mercy said walking to the car.
"You don't know the half of how much you affect him girl." Amy who was a few feet behind her said to herself with a sigh.
Alright! Another chapter.I'm so proud of myself ;) lol. Please REVIEW!
