Ch.3

Waking Up

Elizabeth wasn't really sure how long she was out for but when she opened up her eyes, she found herself, not outside on someone's lawn, but in a hospital room lying on a bed. That's when she noticed Don and everyone else standing and sitting down in the chairs talking to one another quietly.

"Don?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

He immediately walked over along everyone else.

"Hey. How are you feeling?"

"I have a slight headache but other than that I feel fine. What happened? All, I actually remember was walking toward Charlie and saying his name."

"I think you might've tripped over something while you were wearing your heels," Charlie said, "and I was actually the one who sort of caught you, laid you gently on the ground and ran to get some help."

"Thank you very much," Elizabeth replied.

"Your welcome."

"Are we still on for that date?" Don asked.

"Well, it all depends on what the doc says and if I feel better by then."

As if right on cue, there came a knock at the door and the doc entered.

"How are you feeling?" he asked his patient.

"I feel fine except for a small headache."

"That would be the result of the small concussion that you received."

"Okay. When can I get out of here?"

"You can go home tomorrow if you feel fine," he replied then he left the room.

Everyone talked for the next couple of hours and then they left so Elizabeth could get some sleep.
