Hospital Nightmares

Finally, a very groggy girl in the next room came to life.

Alexis awoke at 11p.m. the next night. Her hand went straight to her head to attempt to stop the pounding. She looked around a curious look on her face.

"Where am I? HELLO?" She yelled to see if anyone was around. A nurse came in; she was a tall chunky woman who had a raspy voice when she spoke.

"Can I help you Ms. McCain?"

"Sure you can tell me how I got here and what the hell's wrong with me."

The nurse looked at her with a gruesome grin.

"You were hurt in a fight and found unconscious."

She paused looking out the window only seeing tree limbs.

"Sorry I was so harsh just a second ago."

"That's okay, miss your medication still has to do its job fully after all."

"What about Craig?"

"You can see him if you wish."

She put Alexis into a wheelchair and rolled her over to the next room.

"Craig?" She saw him asleep with Joey in the chair by the window also asleep.

"He's asleep I'll come back later." She was placed into her bed and the IV put back on the stand she laid in bed.

"Good night miss I'll be back to check on you in the morning."

"Okay thanks nurse Calloway" She fell asleep within minutes because of the drugs.

Suddenly in the middle of the night she was awoken by the sound of someone saying. "Get me a crash cart and a gurney STAT."

Beeping was coming from Craig's room. In the wee hours of the morning his wound had started to bleed internally.

A nurse ran by the room.

"Nurse please what happened? That's my boyfriend."

"He crashed and there is internal bleeding where he was shot."

"Please help him PLEASE!"

Craig was operated on successfully and returned to his room within five hours.

Alexis slept roughly quickly waking up in a cold sweat.

"Craig?"

She was tired and couldn't sleep a wink. When she woke up to use the washroom she met Joey's eyes.

"Ack." She pulled down her hospital gown blushing within moments.

"Alexis Craig is finally stable I just thought I should tell you since I knew you'd be worried."
"You know me all to well Joey."

He smiled and helped her to the bathroom leaving her alone after she shut the door behind him. Standing outside her room her thought to himself.

'I'm glad she's okay and Craig will be too. Oh dear God think of the medical bills.'

He grinned at his thought.

'The only thing that matters is that they're both doing good enough to function, but poor Alexis can't walk.'

A/N, It may be to "drama", but that is part of love am I right?

P.S. Alexis was unconscious for so long because Zack's blow to the head was deep seeded.
