Ch. 5

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Randy's POV


I knew something wasn't right even before I opened my eyes. After being nearly blinded by the sudden brightness of the room, I decided the quick approach wasn't such a wise idea. This time opening my eyes slowly and blinking a few times to get use to the bright light, I discovered that either someone redocorated my room to all white, or I was in a hospital room.

After receiving a sharp pain in my shoulder for moving, I figure the latter was probably right. Intaking a sharp breath, I seemed to have alerted Brad and Mark of my awakeness. They quickly put down their cards and walked over to the bed.

"Dude, why didn't you tell us you were awake?" Brad inquirred while pressing the call nurse button.

"You both were concentrating so hard at the game, I didn't want to disturb that once in a lifetime acheivement."

"Ha ha," Brad replied slighty annoyed. Although, I did sense a slight relieveness to his voice. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I've been hit by a truck."

"Well, you almost look it," Brad retorted.

"I've been shot. What's your excuse?"

Before Brad could make any sort of reply, a nurse walked into the room. I gave him a sly smirk as he glared at me. I then turned my attention to the nurse as she started talking. "Hello Randy. I see you decided to join us today. How are you feeling?"

"Relatively ok, but I sense that's only becuase I got pain killers in me. Although, my shoulder does feel uncomfortable."

The nurse smiled a bit and continued checking over the machines and finally his bandages. "Well, everything seems to be ok. I've adjusted the pain killers. You'll be feeling the affect in a moment or two. Don't over-do yourself, and get some rest."

I tried my best to nod, at least I hoped it looked like a nod. THe pain killer sure was strong. I could already feel myself sliping back into unconsciousness. That's when I remembered Katie. "Hey Brad, is Katie alright?"

"Yeah, mom and dad are talking to her now. They should be back soon."

Trying as hard as I could, I mumbled a reply. My eyelids suddenly got real heavy and before I knew it I was slowly drifting back to sleep. However, it wasn't before I heard Mark say something about mom and dad coming down the hall with Katie. I guess I'll just have to catch them the next time I wake up.
