Chapter 5 - Waiting
The Hospital Waiting Room
The atmosphere in the waiting room was fearful. Everyone was worried about Megan They didn't know if she'd be ok
"I should've known that something would happen." said Adena
"It's not your fault. How could you know that Sunny's phone would go off." said Max.
"Midnight was already acting strange Max. I should've known that something would happen." replied Adena.
As she said this a doctor came in the waiting room everyone stopped talking and turned to the doctor.
"I'm Dr. Sheridan. Are you all here for Megan O'Connor." Asked the doctor
"Yes we are." Answered Coach Gunnerson.
"She's stable but she's still unconscious. You can see her but not more than 4 at a time." said Dr. Sheridan.
"Can we go see her?" said Sebastian while motioning to Adena, Squib, Cody and himself.
"Alright. And try talking to her. That seems to help with most patients."
They followed Dr. Sheridan through the ER and to Megan's room. They were all shocked to see her like that. She was hooked to monitors and she was very pale. They had never seen her like that before, not even Adena.
"Oh my gosh." said Cody in shock.
Waiting Room
Sunny was sitting in a corner of the waiting room. She didn't want to talk to anyone.
How could anyone talk to me after what I did she thought
"Sunny?" asked a familiar voice.
Sunny looked up to find Coach Gunnerson standing in front of her.
"Are you ok Sunny?" Asked Coach Gunnerson
"It's my fault that Megan's in there. If I had just remembered to turn my cell off." she said, on the verge of tears. Coach Gunnerson sat beside her.
"It's not your fault Sunny. Midnight was already spooked today. Anything could have set him off. Megan will be fine." said Coach Gunnerson.
Sunny felt a little better. She realized that it could have been any noise that would've set Midnight off. She turned to face Coach Gunnerson.
"Thanks Coach." thanked Sunny
"No problem Sunny, you can talk to me anytime." he replied
"Oh and Coach, could you not mention this to anyone?" asked Sunny
"Sure" replied Coach Gunnerson.
In Megan's room
The Top Guns sat around Megan's bed, trying to figure what to do. They knew they should talk but could she hear them?
"Hey Megs."Adena started. " Remember we got stuck in the gym for my birthday? That was the best birthday I every had and it's all because of you. So you have to come back because I know that there are good times ahead."
"Yeah Megs, how can we go on at Cascadia without you? You keep up motivated and persistent. Even me. You've taught me to go at what I want to do and never give up. Get better soon." said Cody. It was now Squib's turn.
"Hey Megan. All of us have been through so much together. We train together we hang out together, we play together, we even tried to sneak out together. There are many more good times in our future. But you have to wake up and get well so we can do them together."
Next it was Sebastian, everyone knew he needed time alone with her. They all piled out of the room and waited outside the door.
"Hey Megan. Everyone was right. You do motivate us and persist that we do our best. You're my inspiration Megan. From the first time I saw you at Cascadia I knew that there was something about you that stood out. I still don't know what. I tried to tell you this many times but I was too scared. I love you Megan. You've got to wake up. We need you here Megs, I need you." Sebastian started to cry.
She has to wake up.
As many thoughts raced through his mind he felt something touch his hand, something familiar. As he looked up he saw that Megan's hand was moving, her body was turning and her eyes were fluttering.
"Megan?" asked Sebastian.
Megan only groaned. Sebastian went to the hallway where his friends stood crying.
"Guys come in quick, she's waking up!"
With delight on their faces they ran back to Megan's bed where she was waking up. After what seemed like an eternity her eyes opened. She looked around, looking a bit dazed and confused.
"Megan, We are so glad that you are ok. We were afraid that you wouldn't wake up." Said Adena.
"When we say you falling off that horse we were so scared. I didn't know what was going to happen." Said Cody, relieved that Megan was going to be alright.
"Everything will be alright now." replied Squib.
"Yeah, everything will be fine." agreed Sebastian
Everyone noticed that something was off. Megan still hadn't said a word.
"Is everything alright Megan?" asked Cody
"Yeah, did you need something?"
After thinking for a few seconds of hesitating she finally spoke.
"Actually there is something, something that I need to ask you."
"What is it Megs?" asked Sebastian
"Who are you all?"
