Here is the awaited chapter! Stick with it. It gets better I swear.

Chapter 32

Beep.

Beep. Beep.

Beep. Beep.

Beep.

Everything is dark around me. The only thing I can process is the beeping sounds and the pain in my chest. What the fuck is that beeping sound? Why the fuck can't I see anything…

I can hear muffled sounds now. I don't know if something's around me or if someone is talking. Everything is still too fuzzy to see but I can sort of make out blurred colors. I want to say something but every time I do I feel like I'm going to choke. There's something in my mouth. I know that.

"He's waking. Remove the tube."

I feel pressure on my neck, then a weird tugging. I need to cough. As soon as I start hacking my vision starts to clear up. I'm in a hospital room? What the fuck!?

"There you are. How do you feel?" A lady asks me. I don't know who she is but she's probably a nurse.

"My chest hurts pretty bad. It's hard to breathe…why am I here?"

The woman messes with the machines next to me for a second before answering, "It would hurt. They had to use the paddles on you about 6 times since you got here. Try not to talk too much though. It should help, ok? You and your friends were in an accident."

Accident?

I try to sit up but the woman is pushing me back down, "You need to rest dear."

"Where's Tweek? Is he ok? Why isn't he in here?"

The woman smiles, "Well he's technically fine but you sure did give him a hell of a scare yesterday. He's your boyfriend right? He wasn't supposed to visit you. You're in Intensive Care right now. Only family is allowed to visit here and only during certain times. Somehow he snuck by the orderly and got in here though."

What the fuck is this lady talking about? How did I scare him?

As if reading my mind she answers me, "You had to be revived once on the way here and twice while here. He was present for the third time. That's why your chest probably hurts so much. They had to shock your heart back to life."

What?

"Don't worry though. You waking up is a very good sign. If you continue this way the rest of the day they will move you to a regular room. Your boyfriend and family can see you then. Only a couple hours, really." She says changing the bag hanging from my IV.

I close my eyes and try to take a deep breath, "How long have I been here?"

"Just under 72 hours now, after this you might have to stay another day or two. It is up to the doctor though." With that she leaves the room.

The hours tick by slowly. I try to sleep but my mind won't let me. I can't believe this happened. We were all having fun, coming home from prom and bam. I don't know what all happened. That nurse said Tweek was fine but is he really? I mean if I'm here then what happened to him? Did he get hurt? Is Kenny and Butters hurt?

There's not a clock in the room but I know when the hour comes every time. A hospital worker comes in here with a chart asks me if I feel any different than when I woke up checks my bag, checks my machines, and then leaves. I just got checked over a minute ago. That was the 5th time.

I finally fall asleep after the 6th nurse comes in and checks on me.

When I wake again it's already dark outside. I have no idea what time it is or how many more times someone has come to check on me. I just really want to see Tweek. I have no idea how he is. What if that nurse told me he was ok just so I wouldn't freak out?

My thoughts are interrupted when the first nurse walks in with what looks to be a doctor.

"Hi Craig, how are you feeling now?"

"Fine I guess."

The doctor walks over to me while looking at my charts.

"Hmm…it looks like we can go ahead and move you now. Is that going to be ok?" He asks.

"Does that mean I can see my boyfriend?"

He laughs, "Yes, that means you can see your boyfriend."

I nod, "I'm ready to be moved then."

He looks over some more stuff and checks my machines, "Alright, your parents have already been informed of your condition but its time to inform you now. Your left ankle is broken but we've set and cast that already. Just 2 months in the cast and you are fine with that injury. You have a minor concussion as well but resting and staying off your feet will help with that."

"As for major injuries and the reasons you were held here in Intensive Care. When you were in bound the medics had to revive you will their portable pads. Once here we were able to see that your bottom 2 ribs had punctured your left lung. We were able to fix that pretty quickly but you then had to be revived again here. Your ribs are bruised but not broken and your lung will take a couple of months to fully heal. You were stable for a while until we had to revive you the final time. Because of this your heart is a little weak right now. We've concluded your heart stopped those time from bodily stress."

"So? I died? Three times?" This is so much to take in.

"No, you only flat lined once and that was during the final time they used the pads. The other times your heart rate was plummeting but was able to be brought back up pretty quickly. Your injuries are fairly major but will heal in time. You will be able to make a full recovery from this."

Wow. Just wow.

"We'll be moving you to the next room now. We'll inform your family that you can have a visitor."

I feel like I've been in this room for an hour already and no one has been sent back to see me. Did the nurses forget to tell them? Is no one here right now?

I'm about to fall asleep when I hear the door slide open.

I look over to see who it is when I'm pounced on by a yellow blur. Tweek. I wrap my arms around as tight as I can. I can feel tears leaking from my eyes.

"Tweek." I don't know what else to say. Can't really.

He's pulling me tighter to him, he's talking but I can't understand him. The words being muffled by his face being smashed into my shoulder.

"What? I can't understand you babe."

He pulls away and kisses me. We've never kissed so deeply. His tongue is immediately in my mouth feeling every place he can. I can feel his love flowing into me from this kiss alone. He slowly pulls away and I can now see the tear tracks on his face.

"Craig…I - I thought I lost you. I snuck in to see you and you were still unconscious and couldn't probably hear me but I was talking to you and…and things seemed fine and then I fell asleep next to you and your machines went crazy before I knew what was happening they were zapping you! I…I couldn't take it. I blacked out. It was so fucking scary babe!"

Tweeks bawling in my arms now. I pull him tighter to me trying to comfort him.

"Hey, it's ok. I'm here now right? I love you. I love you. I love you. Please don't cry. I'm here."

"I love you too." He said between hiccuped sobs. "I love you too."

Craig is alive! Yay! Thanks for reading! Don't forget to let me know what you thought in the comment section :)
