Chapter 5 Hospital

Friday August 9, 2002

Pain that was all Carman felt as she opened her eyes, but closed them quickly as the light hurt her, beyond belief.

But before she could open her eyes again, she realized that she couldn't breath and started panicking.

"Carm, calm down, please." She knew that voice but couldn't stop panicking.

"You have a tube down your throat," said a new voice, "I'm going to pull it out."

And then Carman started choking, "Leon?"

"Don't talk yet, have some water first." Said the man handing her a cup.

"What happened?" asked Carman, it coming out in barely more than a whisper.

"Don't you remember?" asked Jesse concerned.

"A truck.."

Jesse nodded.

"I'm Dr. Warner, you were in a very serious car accident. So let's talk about your injuries first."

Carman nodded as the doctor pulled up and chair and sat down.

"You may be conscious but you are still in very serious condition. Now first off you've been in a coma for the past three weeks and-"

"What!" shouted Carman. Three weeks? How the hell could that be?

"Yes, when you first got here you had internal bleeding so we had to perform surgery on you, but you are healing nicely from that. Now your left wrist is sprained, you have two broken ribs, and a severely broken leg that is going to take a long time to heal. You also have bumps and bruises."

"Wow," was all Carman could manage. Her head was spinning trying to process all the information that the doctor had said.

"Now your boyfriend Leon on the other hand is in a coma I'm afraid." Said the doctor sadly.

"Is he going to wake up?" she asked looking at the doctor.

"There is no reason medically that we can find that says he won't wake up. But with head trauma you can never be sure."

"Head trauma?"

"Yes, when the truck hit you Leon slammed his head into the steering wheel." He explained as his pager began going off.

"I have to take this. If you need anything just press that button and I nurse will come in here." He said hurrying from the room.

Carman just sat in silence not really comprehending everything. "What happened Jess?"

"What do you mean?" he asked sitting in the chair the doctor had left.

"The accident, we were talking and the truck and I can't really remember anything except pain."

"The guy driving the truck was majorly drunk. And he went through a red light hitting your side of the car." Replied Jesse.

"Damn." Said Carman dropping her head back on her pillow.

"Damn right." Said a voice from the door.

"Hey Let," said Carman not even lifting her head to look. She'd know that voice anywhere.

"How are you?" asked Mia as her, Letty, Dom and Vince walked in the room.

"Alright I guess," said Carman shrugging. "I don't really remember the accident."

"Not at all?" asked Dom.

"I remember the truck, then pain, and then black."

"Could be good." Said Mia.

The team spent the next few hours catching Carman up on the past three weeks with what had been happening and what they had been doing. They'd either been at the hospital, the house, or the garage while Leon and Carman had been in their comas, unfortunately Leon was still in his coma.

Friday August 16, 2002

"Ready to go?" asked Jesse walking into his sister's hospital room. It had been a week since she had woken up and now she finally got to go home. But Leon, Leon would have to stay. He was still in a coma, the doctor was beginning to lose hope but Carman and the team wouldn't there was no way they could.

"Of course I'm ready." Said Carman sliding off the bed. She'd been waiting for an hour.

"Good let's get you home for now." Said Jesse grabbing her bag.

"Yeah right," said Carman her mind still on Leon.

"He'll be okay, Leon's a tough guy." Said Jesse as a nurse helped Carman into the wheel chair. Her leg still had the cast on it and it was also hospital policy, leaving in a wheel chair.

As the nurse wheeled Carman out of the hospital her and Jesse were silent.

After getting in the Jetta Carman and Jesse headed back to the fort where the rest of the team, minus Leon, was waiting.

"He needs to wake up." Said Carman as she looked out the window.

"Don't worry he will be, he's to tough not to be," said Jesse.

Carman took a deep breath as she and Jesse headed inside the fort. Carman wobbling along on her crutches.

"Carman!" squealed Mia as the walked inside.

"Hey Mia." Said Carman as the attempted to embrace.

Carman dropped down on the couch with a sigh she was completely exhausted.

"How ya doing chica?" asked Letty.

Carman shrugged. "I guess I'm okay."

"Good because it's dinner time and we are going to have a little BBQ." Said Dom standing up.

"Uh guys I'm not really-"

"Save it," said Mia grinning. "We know that you're probably thinking about Leon but you need to eat and then get some sleep, you can go to the hospital tomorrow."

Carman groaned. They knew her all to well. "Alright."

"Hell yeah," said Vince as the group made there way outside.

Dom and Letty headed toward the grill while Mia stayed in the kitchen to get things ready.

Carman laughed as Vince and Jesse tried to play basketball. Maybe she would be okay, and when Leon woke up they could all get on with their lives.

All right there's chapter 4, hope everyone reviews. Good or bad reviews, I don't really care. Now I'll try and get the story updated as soon as possible.
