Chp 20

It was only there in the Town's General Hospital is where one of the officers recognized her as the missing girl from Smallville. This was confirmed when the Smallville Sheriff drove in to see her. When Lex heard the news, he did tell everyone else and he had her brought to the Smallville General Hospital where they all waited for her to come in. She arrived shortly after they did, and even with all of Lex's money and power the attending doctor would not let any one see her 'til after he attended to her. He came out to a very worried crowed and finally spoke to them "Okay, here it is, she has multiple bruises on her body, she has some head trauma, most likely from when she hit her head to a rock, she's has a concussion , cracked rib and she dislocated her left knee again" he looked at them and no one said a word, so he added "Hey guys! She's alive, be likely that she's alive, her body will heal" and with that, he advised that even though visiting hours were over he'd allow the bunch of them in "On one condition, no one is to say a word in there, not a single word" when they all agreed he escorted them to her ICU room. One look at her and Chloe's eyes watered and tears ran down her face, soon after she belted out of the room, Lana followed her out. "It's not fair, some one does some thing good in this world and look what happens, only if she didn't save that boy she'd be fine" Chloe stammered though gasps of air as she cried. Lana held her tight and let her cry on her shoulders, then she went back into Pacifica's room and motioned to Pete "Can you drive us home" Pete acknowledged and patted Clark on the shoulder leaving him and Lex with her. They both just stared at her, each having their independent thoughts but both shared the same turmoil, for how they couldn't help her sooner, neither one of them left the hospital that night, both fell asleep in the waiting room, waiting for her to wake up.

It was around 8:15am when Dr. Dyson came to wake them up, he sat in front of them and proceeded to tell them that he "Checked up on her and that she was awake" The grins on their faces couldn't get any bigger if they tried "But" the doctor's simple word wiped the grins right off. "She has no memory of what happened, further more she has hardly any memories, she kept telling me her name was Mandy, but couldn't tell me how she got that name" when he saw that they were following his every word he continued "She is very sensitive right now, I don't want either one of you to push her, in fact I want you to do the opposite, I believe that with time she'll remember everything, let her do it on her own" with that said, he got up and had other rounds to make and said that he'd check in on her and them later. They both stood at her door, deciding who was going to go in first to see her, so they both went to go see her at same time. Her eyes fluttered open to the sound of the door opening and she watched as two cute guys walked into her room, one had the tall dark and handsome thing going and the other had the bald sexy thing going. She looked and waited for them to start talking, as she wondered who they were. They both greeted her but didn't introduce themselves to her, which felt weird and wrong. "Lex, yeah, what is that short for" she asked and Lex explained and she smile at him, and there it was that smile he longed for, for all those months. "Clark, you look like a Clark" she smile at him and he was so glad to see that warmth coming from her through all her bruises. "I'd introduce myself as Mandy, but the doctor tells me that's not my name and wouldn't tell me what it is" she looked at them hoping that they would tell her but only told her that they too were advised not to say. "The doc thinks you'll remember everything on your own and doesn't want us to help" Clark said. "I think that's a bit strange, don't you guys?" she asked "Doctor's orders" Lex answered back, also telling her that he has full faith that she will very soon remember what she needs to. She tried to sit up, but winced at her rib pain and fell back down. "Could either one of you, please get me a cold glass of water" Clark went leaving Lex just staring at her "Could you please stop staring at me, I know I look bad, so I've been told" "Your beautiful, even though all your bruises" Lex smirked back at her, he did mean to smile, but he was so used to giving everyone a smirk, it was something natural for him. Clark can back with a large glass of ice water, "Oh nice and cold just how I like it" as she took a sip. She broke the silence, coz she was starting to feel uncomfortable "So how do you guys know me? Or me you?" she asked. They both looked at each other, "Okay fine, I thought I'd get one of you to slip up and tell me something" she said though a broken smile. They starting to laugh at her attempt at getting info. "It's very frustrating you know" she continued, they agreed coz they both wanted to talk to her as normal, as almost nothing was wrong, like nothing changed, but it did, Lex wanted to finally tell her how he felt and Clark wanted to talk to her about his powers. She once again broke their thoughts by asking them to leave "I don't mean to be mean, and if were all good friends, I'm sorry that you've waited to talk to me, but I would like to be alone and try to sort some things out, plus I'm tried" she gave them a weak smile, they said their good-bye's and left her to rest. When outside in the hallway, they ran into the doctor, and he asked how's it go and them told him, nothing really happened, they weren't in there long and she wanted to rest. Dr. Dyson wondered where she would live and if there was someone to take care of her once she left here. Both Lex and Clark agreed that it would be better if she stayed with Lex at the mansion, he did have the room and all the resources to help her out. As badly as Clark wanted her to stay with him and his family he knew she'd be better off at Lex's, even though he got a funny feeling about the whole thing. Dr. Dyson asked to speak with Lex in private, but before letting Clark go, he advised him and Lex that it would be best if they both, plus all their friends stayed away as much as possible from her. Clark questioned him as how this could be good for her, when she's trying to remember her life. "Simple, you push her, her mind may get scared and retreat" was his answer. Clark wasn't kin on what the doctor suggested, but if it was going to help her then he'll do what ever it takes. Clark took this opportunity to go and see Pacifica again, she was sleeping or out cold from some medication, he sat by her side, picked up her hand and placed it in his. Turned to look at her wrists and feel her pulse, which brought a warm smile to his face, then he placed a small kiss on it and placed it back down. She could hardly open her eyes and they fluttered coz of the lights and looked at him while trying to give a weak smile, but Clark's head was bowed down. "Don't look so sad for me" his head shot up, he was glad for his extra super hearing, coz she spoke very softly. She tried flashing him that weak smile while she said "Everything will be okay Clark" and at saying his name she grabbed her head in pain and instantly fell back asleep. He was so happy that she said his name, but couldn't help to think that by saying it, it some how jogged her memory and that's why she winced in pain.
