~*A/N: alright, I was in a real horrible mood when I wrote this, and
anybody that knows me will know why. By the way, Becky, I think you still
have my black nail polish. Just to let you know. I want it back!*~
~*Rush*~
After a very. . . intimate night, Becky woke up and went to check her e-mail. Legolas was still asleep, so she was careful not to wake him up. God, he was so cute when he was asleep. Then again, he was always cute. She raised an eyebrow. How had he managed not to mess up his hair during the night? Oh well.
She booted up her laptop and went to her inbox. She had three new messages. Faye said 'hi' and 'how are ya'. She quickly replied and went on to the next one. Mom sent best wishes for her life in Mirkwood. Wow, Becky hadn't thought that her parents would be anywhere near okay with this. She silently thanked Faye for talking to them.
The last e-mail was from Shakira, and Becky had to read it twice to be sure of what she was saying. Panic took over her and she sat in shock for a minute. She rushed over to Legolas and woke him up.
"Legolas, wake up? I have to go back! Right now!" she exclaimed.
"What? Why? I thought you liked it here?" Legolas looked really hurt and she couldn't help but smile.
"No, I love it here. And this is totally where I want to live, but there's been an accident! Jess is in the hospital. I have to go!"
"Jess is in the what?"
"The hospital." Becky gave a quick explanation of what the hospital was and Legolas soon became worried as well. He may not have gotten a great impression of the girl, but that didn't mean that he didn't have a heart.
"Alright," he said, "quickly pack whatever you will need for the next few days, and I will fetch Gandalf."
Becky grabbed the clothes that she had been wearing when she first came to middle earth. She wasn't overly keen on bringing a bunch of dresses back home, as that was all the Legolas would let her wear on Middle Earth. Legolas and Gandalf came back just as Becky had finished changing into the comfy jeans and sweater that she had missed so much.
"Alright, I will take you to Earth, and bring you back when you are ready, but this is the last favor for a long while."
"Okay, okay! But let's go already!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jess lay in her hospital bed wondering how things were going to turn out. She was supposed to be asleep, but how could she sleep when every time she closed her eyes, visions of the accident came back to her? There was no use trying to forget about it. She had already relived it countless times. She closed her eyes and allowed the memories to come back.
~*~
It was cold and raining, but Kailen had insisted that they still go on the date anyways. Fine, whatever, if he wanted to go, then they would go. The roads were slippery, she could feel how difficult it was to drive on them, even though she wasn't in the driver's seat.
They were on their way to a fancy restaurant, and then they were going to go to a movie. Kailen wanted to go to Terminator Four, which was more than fine with her. They had so much in common, it was surprising that they hadn't hooked up before now.
The rain was really coming down now, and it was hard to even see through the window shield. She turned to Kailen and told him to pull over and wait until the rain eased up a little. He refused, saying that they were going to miss their reservations. Aww, he was so sweet, but this was too dangerous for her liking.
"Kailen! Pull over right now, or I swear I'll tell everyone that you tried to feel me up!"
He may have been a seventeen-year-old boy, but he had a good reputation when it came to that stuff. He would never do such thing unless the girl wanted him to. But they would definitely take Jess's word over his.
"Fine." He slammed on the breaks, but the car didn't stop. The roads were too wet, and the car was now skidding, even though the wheels weren't moving. All of a sudden, the car stopped moving simply forward and went into a spin. They hit a ditch and the car flipped.
Jess could hear the glass break, and covered her face with her arms as the car was going through the air for a second or two. When they hit the ground, Jess was knocked unconscious.
~*~
In the hospital, they had told her that Kailen was dead, and that she was lucky to be alive. She had several broken ribs, and had been bleeding internally when she arrived at the hospital. She had a major concussion, and they were all surprised that she hadn't fallen into a coma for a few days. She wasn't surprised though. She was tough enough.
She silently thanked God for sparing her, and gave a quick prayer for Kailen. Oh God, the full impact of it hit her, Kailen was dead. She was lucky to be alive.
Faye, Holly, Mandi, Shakira, and Katie had been in to see her that morning. Already, Jess wanted out of there. They had her in ICU, and she was plugged into a couple of machines that made noise throughout the whole damn night. She could swear that it was just to annoy her and keep her awake. Oh well. It's not like she could really sleep that much anyways, as they kept coming in every hour on the hour to take more blood.
Another nurse came in for blood. "Look, I've told you before! I lost a ton at the accident, go take some of that!" She said to the nurse.
Her arm was going to be completely purple by the time they were done with her! Besides, was it really good for her if they kept taking more blood than she had already lost at the accident? They had had to give her a blood transfusion while she was still out cold, so wouldn't the tests be messed up anyways? The nurse left with two fucking tubes of blood.
"Hey there girl."
Jess looked up to see Becky sticking her head in the door.
"Becky! Oh my God, Bec, I missed you so much!" She refused to cry. She was hadn't cried over Kailen yet, so she was definitely not going to cry over seeing Becky again. Or maybe not.
"Is it okay to hug you? I don't want to hurt you," there were tears in her eyes as she said. "You're all black 'n' blue."
"Yeah, just don't squeeze too hard." That was the best hug she'd had in a very long time.
Legolas came into the room and looked rather uncomfortable. "Hi there Jess. How are you feeling?"
Jess smiled at Becky before turning to Legolas. "A hell of a lot better now." She turned back to Becky. "Bec, I thought I wasn't going to get to see you ever again. When there was that big flash of light and you all disappeared, I thought that that was it. I thought you were gone for good." A single tear fell down her face.
"Now if that were true, what would I do about bride's maids? I need a Maid Of Honour you know. Besides, didn't you get the e-mail that I sent you yesterday?"
"I was kinda busy getting into a car accident."
"What happened anyways?"
Jess told Becky all of what she remembered and knew, and by the time she was done, a nurse was coming into the room for another blood test.
"You were just in here before I came in, you know," said Becky. She could see the fear in Jess's eyes. Jess was terrified of needles.
"We are taking blood every hour on the hour to make sure that there are no changes, Miss."
"Well guess what? Not this hour, you aren't. You've been taking blood since you got here. Have there been any changes so far?"
"No, but-"
"Then I doubt that there are going to be any changes this time. Please leave. You aren't needed at the moment. If she goes into a deadly coma from too much iron in her blood, I'll yell."
The nurse huffed and left. Jess turned to Becky as quickly as she could, which wasn't very fast. "Thank you. I hate that woman."
"It's okay. Anything to make you happy, Jess."
