"Ryan, call Sandy and tell him that I blame him"

She slipped into unconsciousness in my arms. I can feel something wet and warm against my arms. I lay her down and see blood on my arms. I see Seth's mouth move but everything is silent. I lift Donna's shirt up to her chest and there is a blood soaked bandage wrapped around her lower abdomen.

"Seth, call 911!"

The room I'm in smells like a dentist's office and disinfectant. I open my eyes and I see I am in a white room. I feel something in my arm and see that there is an IV needle in my arm. The bandages are now off my wrists and can see the cuts have healed. I feel someone holding my hand and I look at who it is.

"Ryan" I whisper, shaking my hand to wake him up. "Ryan"

"Huh? What?" He wakes up, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. He sits up straight when he sees me looking at me. "You're awake."

"Yeah, what happened?"

"You lost a lot of blood and that caused you to faint."

"Oh. You don't have to be here, you know."

"I know, I want to be here. What happened to you?"

Before I had a chance to answer, Sandy walked in.

"Hey kiddo, you're awake. Feel better?"

"I could feel worse."

"Ryan, can I speak with Donna alone, please?"

Sandy has been in there for a while now and I was a little anxious.

"Hey Ry, you ok?"

"Uh, yeah I'm fine."

I look around the waiting room. Seth is sitting next to me and for the first time paying attention to me and not Summer. Summer is sitting next to him and is reading a magazine. Marissa is next to Summer and is holding an ice pack to her face. Sandy has finally walked out of Donna's room.

"Dad, what happened to her?"

"I can't tell you, she'll tell you when she's ready."

"Shut up, you stupid bitch!"

"Daddy, stop it please! I didn't do it; I was next door all day."

"You were probably fucking that faggot too."

"Daddy please stop. No!"

BANG!

Seth, Summer and Marissa all went home but I wanted to stay here with Sandy. Sandy was running around talking to doctors and such. I walked into Donna room and I saw that she was sleeping.

I sat in a chair next to her bed and just watched her sleep. Who is this girl to me? What is she doing to me? I don't want to be involved with her but I can't get her out of my head. I hate her but apparently I love her.

I snapped back to reality when I saw Donna tossing and turning in her sleep. I didn't think nothing of it until she really started thrashing around. I stood up to call Sandy when she started screaming.

"NO STOP IT!"

I ran out of the room and called Sandy and the doctors. Everyone ran into the room and tried to calm her down, she was thrashing around so much the doctor's couldn't sedate her. I just stood back out of the doctor's way while Sandy put his arm around me trying to comfort me. I cringed every time she screamed.

"STOP! PLEASE! HELP!"

"What's wrong with her Sandy?"

"She's having a bad dream."

I waited for him to continue but he never did. The doctor told us to leave and right as I was in the doorway of her room, she screamed so loud the whole Orange County could hear it.

"TREY HELP ME!"
