Chapter Eleven: What Happened to Me
The next thing she knew she was lying in a bed that was smaller than hers. She tried to move her wrist but couldn't, she had a cast on it. She found her breathing constrained, she ran her left hand across her stomach and felt bandages wrapped all around the middle like if she were some kind of mummy, she pressed down with her fingers and it hurt. The back of her head felt sore, she ran her fingers along the back of her head and felt another bandage. Out of fear she ran her hand along the side of her face to see if any damage had been done there, to her relief she only felt two scratches on the right side of her face, though they were long. She anted to cry
"What the hell happened to me?" she thought. She looked to her left and felt incredibly happy, there he was, sleeping, sprawled across the couch and a blanket thrown over him. She smiled, and was glad that there was no pain when she did so. She looked over at the side table and saw a bunch of flowers and balloons; there was also a pitcher of water and a cup. She poured the water out of the cup and threw it at his head. He moved a little but remained sleeping. She looked for something else to throw at him, there was a bamboo tree, and around it there were rocks. She picked one up and threw it a little harder at his head
"Ow!" he said while opening his eyes, "What the hell was th-," when he saw her he smiled then got up
"Thank God you're ok," he came over and hugged her
"Ow Jimmy ow," she said slightly pushing him away, he hugged her too hard and her ribs felt tender
"Sorry," he said pulling away and frowning
"Its ok," she paused for a minute, "Jimmy, what happened to me?"
"When we were walking out of the park you got hit by a car"
"What? Who was driving it? Are they okay?" she asked. He frowned even more
"Markus"
"Why me? What happened to him?"
"He got arrested for DWI. He's facing a year in juvi, his license taken away til he's 21 and a $800 fine," he answered
"He musta been real drunk"
"Who case about him. You were the one who got hit"
"I know but still"
"Adi I don't care about Markus right now. I care about you," she couldn't help but smile, "How are you?" he asked pulling a chair by her bed, rubbing her hand
"I could be better"
"I was scared yesterday, I wanted to stay with you, but they didn't let me I had to practically yell at them to let me stay"
"You've been here since last night?"
"Of course, I wasn't going to leave you alone"
"So what did they do to me?"
"Well you fractured your wrist. But it was only a hairline fracture so the cast only stays on for two weeks. The back of your head split, so you got a bunch of stitches. Your ribs are all bruised, the bruises should be gone in about week, and the side of your face is scratched a little because of when you hit the floor"
"Damn I feel like crap," she ran her fingers along the side of her face again, "I must look like shit," he smiled
"You NEVER look like shit. And for someone who just got hit by a car you look incredibly gorgeous," she grinned
"Keep saying stuff like that, I need a self esteem boost"
"Well," he smiled again, "You're sweet," he kissed her, "You're sexy," he kissed her again, "You're irresistible," another kiss, "You have a beautiful smile," kiss, "You're a great kisser," another kiss, "And I love you so much"
"I love you too," she said hugging him
"So you were scared huh?" she asked while smiling, he blushed, but stayed quiet
"Well?"
"Yes"
"Why", she asked still grinning
"Because you weren't talking, you weren't moving, it was hard to tell if you were even breathing. I didn't want anything to happen to you. I wasn't thinking straight the only thing that I was thinking was that I wanted to be with you, that I should've been with you," she grabbed the side of his face and started rubbing it
"Well you were, for as long as you could be anyway. You fought to be with me Jimmy, that's what makes you so amazing, so don't beat yourself up," she pulled his face towards hers and kissed him, "And if it makes you feel any better, I blacked out pretty much as soon as we got into the ambulance, so I really don't remember anything," she smiled
"You have no idea how happy I am to see that you're ok"
"So when do I get to leave here anyway?"
"The doctors said you could leave this morning"
"Ok"
"SHES AWAKE!" she looked over to the door to see who was there, Manny was walking in with a teddy bear and a bag of clothes and everyone else behind her
"Hey guys," she said waving. Manny ran over to her and hugged her
"Careful, Manny, careful," she said, feeling the pain retuning to her ribs.
"Sorry," she said.
"How are you hun?" Paige asked sitting at the foot of her bed.
"I'm good"
"I called your mom. She's worried sick about you," Manny said
"What about my dad?"
"He wants you to come home," Jimmy answered, "I was talkin to your mom almost all night"
"Who bought you all this stuff?" Manny asked
"The guys did," Megan answered, then read the card, "Get well soon, Love Chester. If you die I want your Stereo, Love Spin"
"Gee thanks for your concern Spin,." she said laughing
"We'll go ask the doctor when you'll be ready to leave," Paige said and they left the room
"Jimmy how'd you get here before us, visiting hours just started," Megan asked
"I've been here all night," he said.
"You have? That's so sweet, he's a keeper," Megan says winking at her
"I figured that out a long time ago," she said smiling at Jimmy, "You know what screw it, I'm leaving now," she got outta be and took two steps then got really dizzy, everything started to get darker, she felt herself wobbling a little, Jimmy put his arms around her waist then set her back on the bed
"Ok hun were ready to go, but you should change before we leave. Do you need help," Paige asked as she and Spinner appeared in the door
"No I think I can do it," she said getting up and slowly walked into the bathroom. She washed her face and brushed her teeth, she looked at her reflection. Her face was almost untouched, the only thing she did have were two long scratches on her right cheek and small cut underneath the end of her eyebrow, which she assumed was deep because along with that cut there were four stitches keeping it closed. She changed into a pair of sweat pants and a white tee that Manny had brought with her. She got out of the bathroom and went towards the door, she sat down ands Jimmy wheeled her down the hallway and into he elevator
"The doctor gave us some medicine for you to take to calm down the pain and the soreness, she wants you to come back in two weeks to take that cast off and to give you a check up," Paige said holding a bag full of medication
"Ok," they walked out of the hospital and drove off to the hotel
"I'm gonna drop then off," Jimmy told Adrianna and the others as he pointed to Megan, Trini, Rico, Ralfi, Benny, and José
"Ok," she said and they went into their rooms. As she went into her room, she laid on the bed and started flipping through channels to look for something that she could fall asleep with. She landed on music videos and it was on Ciara's And I. She stood up and walked to the window staring out at the view singing along

"You're supposed to be resting," she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist and pull her towards them
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" she screamed, she started kicking, and elbowing wherever she could, she managed to elbow whoever it was hard in the chest. She heard a grunt and they fell on the bed, she turned to see who it was
"Jimmy! Oh my god, I'm so sorry," she saw Jimmy lying on the bed clenching his chest and gasping for air. She bent over him trying to figure out what to do
"Jimmy, I'm so sorry. Can you breathe?" he managed to nod. Now that she knew he was ok she started laughing, he gave her a dirty look
"What? It's funny," she said while giggling
"Oh you think so?" he said in a whisper
"Yup," she said sitting on his stomach, intentionally making it even harder for him to breathe. He grunted louder and tried to push her off, she stood up and looked down at him
"You're evil," he mumbled
"Yea, and?" she said while grinning
"You are ok though, rite?" he rolled his eyes but nodded. She climbed on the bed and started jumping on the bed, which wasn't a good idea; she started to feel a little woozy. Despite the simplicity of walking, she found it surprisingly hard to do. Her vision was starting to darken, starting with the edges. She felt blood rushing to her head, she felt heavier and found her legs about as reliable as a pair of limp noodles no longer able to support her weight. She assumed she fell but didn't feel herself hit the floor.
She didn't know how long it was until she looked towards the bathroom and saw Jimmy come out with a cup of water and a handful of pills
"You didn't take your medication!" he shouted at her
"Um, I'm sorry?" she asked surprised that he was angry with her
"You were supposed to take them as soon as you got home!"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry!" she shouted back. He shoved the handful of pills into her hand, and the water in the other
"Take them," he said in a calmer tone. She put the pills in her mouth not bothering to count how many there actually were, then took a big gulp of water
"Happy?" she asked
"Yeah," he said then sat down on the bed
"Why the hell were you so mad anyway?" she asked him. He shook his head, "Tell me," he pressed his eyes closed with his fingers sighed then lifted his head to look at her
"Adrianna you have no idea how terrified I was yesterday I seriously thought I was going to lose you, and the worse part was I couldn't do ANYTHING to help you. I had to sit there and watch and think and wait. I had to watch nurses run in and out of the emergency room, their hands covered in blood, the doctors would come out every once in a while and look at me and shake their heads, or pat me on the shoulder. Never once saying a word, never once telling me how you were or what was happening. I had to think, think about what I was going to do if you didn't make it. They told me to prepare for the worst; do you know what that is? They basically told me that you weren't coming out of that room alive, it tore me apart, and it was hell. It was hell to know that only a couple of hours before that we were together we were happy, SO happy and everything was perfect. And then with in a couple of minutes it was all taken away. That car hit you, I saw it coming, but I couldn't move. I tried but I just couldn't, I couldn't get you out of the way, I saw it hit you, it hurt me so much to see you like that. You looked so helpless, it was like all the life was knocked out of you, your face, the face that always has some sign of happiness to it, always some warmth, a smile that makes everyone else want to smile, was left expressionless. You body was limp and you were cold, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I had to wait for four hours while you were in that room but every second seemed like a lifetime. Four hours of surgery where they weren't even sure if you were going to be ok or not, four hours of me dreading a doctor coming out of that door, coming up to me and saying those two words, I'm sorry. But you came out ok, and it was like a spark lit up inside me I was happy again, and I had something to look forward to. You got so lucky, we got so lucky and I don't want you to have come this far only for you to forget to do some thing as little as take some medicine and have it all take it away from you again, he had tears streaming down his face, she did also, but when he finished his voice remained strong
"Adi do you know how it feels to almost lose someone you love twice?"
"No"
"I was scared when I saw Markus on top of you the other day and when he hit you"
"But Jimmy you stopped him before he could do anything that day and you tried to save me when he hit me, but I'm ok"
"I know but I was scared"
"Believe me so was I," she said looking into his eyes. He looked away, "I'm here love. I'm ok. You're ok. We're both ok," she smiled then lifted his face to look at her
"I should've been there for you. I should be comforting not the other way around"
"Hey, the fact that you want to be there for me is enough considering you didn't know what was happening. And I know that you would've saved me in a heartbeat. Because you love me and that's what you do when you love someone, you're there for them. Jimmy your love is enough for me. And right now I need to be there for you because you're scared, and I want to make it better because I love you," he looked up at her and smiled
"I'm so glad you're ok," she nodded
"Me too," she leaned in and kissed him softly. He tucked loose hair behind her ear and continued to kiss her gently
A/N: Yay! She's ok! Chapter 12 is a short one sorry but I kinda had to make it short
