Chapter 2: Life Goes On
Quinn woke up to the beeping sound of an electronic hospital machine. She found herself trapped by wires and tubes, atleast that's what she felt. Her face burned terribly. She couldn't see anything because there was a bandage covering her eyes. She could hear voices of nurses and doctors discussing her condition. Scared to move, Quinn let out a small noise in the back of her throat. A doctor in a white lab coat turned to see Quinn.
"I think someone is waking up." he said.
"I'll check her I.V now." said his assisting nurse.
Quinn, still unaware of what had happened heard a familiar voice.
"Quinn! Are you okay?" It was Zoey's.
"Zoey?" Quinn's voice was low and dusty, like it had be locked up for ages.
"Yeah it's me! We're all here!" It was so weird for the other kids to see Quinn in such a terrible state. She wasn't the perky, yet weird Quinn they'd always known.
"Hi Quinn, I'm sorry about what happened..." Nicole said sympathetically.
"Yeah Quinn, you're really brave." Dana added.
"Wh-what happened?" Quinn asked.
"Um, you had a little accident with your, um, chemical, thingy." Zoey said.
Quinn sat up in the bed.
"I-I can't see you guys..." she said.
"Oh don't worry about that, the doctor said that your vision will be back in a couple of days." Smiling, Zoey patted Quinn on the shoulder.
"What's all of this on my face?"
"Well, um Quinn, when you fell into the mixture, the acid caused your skin to sort of, burn off." Zoey tried to explain the Quinn her condition without breaking into tears.
"So you mean, I-I I'm going to have a scarred face for the rest of my life?"
Zoey knew that from the choked sound in Quinn's voice that if she could she would cry.
"Don't worry Quinn, we're all going to be here for you." Dana said as she and the rest of the group smiled.
One week later
Chase, Nicole, Dana, and Michael were all sitting in the lounge watching T.V when the door suddenly burst open. It was Zoey and Quinn coming inside.
"Guess who's back!" Zoey said with a huge smile.
Dana and Nicole ran over to give Quinn a "welcome back hug".
"Oh you guys be careful, her face is still kind of sore." Zoey warned.
They led Quinn over to the couch because she still had the bandage over eyes.
"So how have you been Quinn?" Michael asked.
"I've been better. Did you know that the D.A found my laboratory and took away all of my supplies? Where will I ever do all of my experiments?"
The sad expression on Quinn's scarred face, made Chase feel sorry about all of the things that he said to her.
"Well, I hope you get better soon Quinn." He said. Quinn gave a small smirk and sat back on the couch.
