Almost There

It had been a few days and Tori's eyes were still not opened. It was Dustin's shift to watch her while Shane and Hunter went to work and stuff. He had watched her for the whole day and tomorrow it was Hunter's day. The day before it was Shane's.

"Hey Tor, I know you're in there, just wanted you to know that when you wake up, I'll be here." Dustin whispered as he leaned his head onto the bed.

He had lost sleep ever since she had first been in there. It was a good time now to catch up seeing as there was not really anything else to do.

Dustin woke up to the paging of one of the doctor's. It was already the evening, he had slept for quite a while. Suddenly, Tori started to move. It was her broken nose. Dustin became excited but she let out a small sneeze and did not move again.

"Man, you had me there for a second." He whispered again.

Tori's body lay lifeless on the white sheets of the hospital bed. She had been there for a total of two days now and she was destined to wake up any time between the day before and the next week.

Dustin closed his eyes once more and fell asleep in the chair, still with her hand in his.

It was late night when she finally stirred again. She rolled over and winced slightly as her arm touched her stomach. She did not even open her eyes, not until Dustin woke up and yelled her name.

"TORI!"

"Ouch." She mumbled.

"Oh my god, you're awake." He said excitedly.

"What, where am I?" She asked as her eyes finally opened.

"Hospital, you're awake." Dustin stated again.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"Yeah, but you have been unconscious for two days, this is the third and you're finally awake."

"Me, Bob?" Tori asked.

"Yeah but that's the least of your worries." Dustin half joked.
