Natalie had waited for almost an hour in the hospital waiting room with Shannon at her side before
they'd let her see Adam. When finally the doctor walked in, she pounced. 'Can I see him now? I need
to see him. Is he OK? Is he unconcious?'. The doctor rolled her eyes, 'Yes you can see him, but wait a
minute. He has severe concussion, and a fractured skull above his right temple.'. Shannon winced. 'He's
awake, but he's bruised all over his body. Don't shout around him either, it'll hurt his head. He's room
812, and keep it down.'. Natalie practically ran to the door, but halted suddenly just outside.
She turned to Shannon worriedly. 'What if he's really ill, Shan?'. Shannon gripped her hand supportively
and looked at her. 'He's in a hospital, Nat. Everything will be fine. Concussion heals, and Adam ain't
exactly weak.'. Natalie nodded, and walked in.
She wasn't horrified by Adam's appearence, just a little suprised. He had a purple bruise stretching down
from above his right temple to his cheek bone. His arms were blue and purple, and the rest of his was
covered up. He smiled up at Natalie, but somehow she just couldn't smile back. 'Hey Nat. Like my new
colour?'. He smirked, but realised her shock. She hovered for a minute, and Shannon nodded at Adam.
'I'll leave you two alone.'. Shannon left, and Natalie sat next to Adam on the drab hospital bed.
'It's OK, you don't have to be here if you don't wanna. I know I must look pretty scary.' he said, and
she whirled around to look at him. 'No. I do wanna be here. I just didn't realise how bad it was. Can I
do anything?'. He shook his head, and laughed. 'Now you know how I felt when you hurt your back.'.
She nodded. 'Helpless'.
The room went silent for a minute, and he sighed. 'I know who did it. And I know why.'. She looked
down uncomfortably. 'So do I.'. Adam looked suprised, almost relieved. 'You do?'. Natalie nodded, sheepishly.
'They found her with a note in her pocket a mile down the highway. And Shannon's been online. It turns out
the girl's been boasting for months how she'd do it, just to spite me. You should have seen some of her
messages, Adam. They're sick!'. He looked thoughtful, and Natalie trailed off. 'I can come home tonight, but
I won't be able to wrestle for a while.'. Natalie smiled, and pushed some stray hairs off of his purple cheek.
'I'll look after you. But I swear to god, if I meet her in the street, I'm gonna tear her a new asshole.' Adam
smirked, and Natalie giggled. 'The attitude doesn't suit me, does it?' she laughed. Adam smiled, 'Not really Natalie!'.
