Kelly Garrett lay in her hospital bed, still groggy from the day before. The truth was, she didn't remember much of what had happened, even the first few hours after she regained consciousness were still a blur. She did remember telling Kris, Julie and Bosley to go home however, but that was at least two hours after her brush with death. Kris was supposed to stop by sometime that day though, and Kelly suspected that if her perception of time was accurate, then Kris would be arriving any second. Being in the ICU still, Kelly was limited as to how many visitors she could have at a time, so Kris, Bosley and Julie had decided to visit at separate times until she was moved to another room.
Even though she had only been there for a day, Kelly was starting to get restless. She was tired of starring at the ceiling and the wall, but the discomfort was too great if she turned in the direction of the bullet wound. Her doctors were constantly telling her to rest though, so she closed her eyes hoping the discomfort would go away if she could just fall asleep. No matter how long she lay there with her eyes closed, however, she only managed to sleep after one of the nurses gave her a sedative to force her to. The truth was, every time she closed her eyes, she was afraid that the few images she remembered from the day before would come screaming back to her. All Kelly wanted was to recover and move on with her life, but she couldn't do that unless she forgot about what had happened.
Before she even had the chance to sleep, however, the door to her room opened and Kris walked in carrying a vase of flowers, which she placed down on the table. Trying to be polite, Kelly made an attempt to sit up in the bed, but moving that far up caused the room to start spinning, and her head to pound more then it already was. Kris sensed her discomfort, too, and therefore placed her hand on Kelly's arm in an attempt to stop her.
"No, it's ok Kel., don't move." Kris said. Immediately, Kelly relaxed as she briefly closed her eyes, hoping that that would at least stop the room from spinning. "So how are you feeling?" Kris asked.
"Ok, I guess. My head feels like it was run over by a cement truck, but other then that I feel ok."
"Maybe the doctor can give you something to make you a little more comfortable. I can ask him if you want?"
"No, that's ok. All he's going to do is give me another sedative." Kelly responded. Despite the pain, she would do anything to avoid the feeling of helplessness that the sedatives had on her.
"Well, the flowers are from myself, Julie, Bosley and Charlie. We thought they would brighten up the room a little."
"Thanks."
They talked for several more minutes after that, but after awhile, Kelly had lost all of her energy, and just keeping her eyes open had become a challenge, despite the fact that sleeping was the last thing that she wanted to do.
