Notes: No more first person POV's in this fic. All third person omniscient since the POV tends to switch around. Sorry about the title. It's in no way trying to copy Aqualion but you gotta admit that Mikah's like a rat. The guy did push Banksie down a flight of stares. I am still suffering from really bad writers block with this fic. I'm hoping something will spark with this chapter.
The Rat Enters
Adam sat in bed watching TV. Jesse left with the others and his family was down in the cafeteria getting something to eat. He didn't remember falling down stairs but it would explain why his head hurt so much and how he had broken his arm, again. He was so frustrated by how hard it was to speak. The doctor had told him that in the fall, he had suffered some brain damage and his brain was having trouble relaying the message for him to talk but that seemed to be his only problem.
He was trying to remember what happened. But that day was a blank. He was glad most of the IV's and machines were gone. That wasn't a good thing to wake up to.
So much had happened in two months or so he heard. Fulton had taken his place on Varsity. He was relieved that it wasn't Mikah though he couldn't remember why. His brother and sister didn't go to college.
Wallace entered the room. "Hey Adam. I heard you had woken up. If you wanted to come back to the hospital you could have picked a safer way of doing so."
Adam smiled. "Have seat." He said slowly pointing at the chair.
"Thanks. So how are you feeling?" Adam moved his left hand in a so so gesture. "Adam you're going to have to talk you know."
"I know but it's hard."
"I know Adam. You took a bad blow to the head." Wallace changed the subject. "Mikah's outside the door. You want to see him?"
Adam thought of saying no. But this was his physical trainer asking. "I guess."
Wallace nodded and signaled Mikah to come in. Mikah stood nervously in the doorway. "Hi Banks. Um I'm sorry you're in the hospital. It was an accident."
Adam looked in Mikah's eyes as he struggled with the next words. "I don't even remember what happened."
Good Mikah thought. "Don't worry about it. Glad to see you're awake. I'm going to go."
"Don't mind Mikah." Wallace said as they watched Mikah leave. "He's just nervous." Wallace shifted from foot to foot.
Dr. Hilliard came into the room. "Hello Wallace." He then turned to Adam and started checking him over. "You are doing pretty well for a guy who spent two months in a coma. I think we can move you into a regular room today and you should be out of the hospital at the end of the week."
Adam smiled. He wanted out of there. he'd spent too much time in the hospital since he started playing hockey.
The doctor left with Wallace and the Banks' came back in.
Sharon kissed Adam's forehead. "Hey sweetie. We heard what the doctor said. that's great."
"Yeah bro." Jeffrey said. "Maybe you'll be back at Eden Hall next month."
Adam stared at him. me back at Eden Hall? yeah sure Jeffrey. He thought to himself.
"The doctor said there's no reason you can't go back to school." Philip must have read his thoughts. "It's not like your IQ changed. The teachers will be informed of your health needs."
"Hey once you get the cast off you can play that boring sport you like again." Christina said helpfully.
Adam doubted all of what they said.
