The next thing I seem to be at least half aware of is lying on something soft... Well... softer than the stupid gurney. It's a wonder the patients don't complain. Wait a minute.. that's meant to be good... I think... Or is it bad? Are we that scary? Or do we just not want to be sued? So is that good? Or bad? Who's in the wrong here? Oh dear, this is confusing. Oh dear...? Oh dear...? What the hell...? Oh God, I'm confused. What's going on?
"JD...?" a woman... who? Carla...? Elliot...? Anyone I actually know?
Oh finally, someone else! I try reaching out to them, but my arms are just too heavy. It doesn't matter though as I feel their fingers slip through mine. I somewhat instinctively tighten my fingers around theirs. I don't want them to go.
"Don't leave..." I hear myself mumble. Oh God, I sound so pathetic. But I don't feel it so... just warm and fuzzy but numb at the same time. I can feel darkness crawl up from the corners of my eyes. Everything that was once a grey blob is turning steadily black. I feel my grip slacken on theirs, but I still don't want them to go. Some part of myself doesn't want to be left alone. What has happened? However, the fingers stay latched tightly onto my slackening ones.
"Don't worry... I'm not going anywhere..."
Good! Like I said, I don't want to be on my own. But I'm not going to be... This is enough for me as I feel myself being pulled back under.
x-X-x
Muttering brought me back to my next trip to awareness. Angry muttering. The voice is familiar... Dr. Cox...? He sounds a bit upset as well. Okay... now I really want to know what's going on.
I hear a door open from somewhere in front of me and someone walk in. The two people start mumbling to each other. They were probably talking normally, but seeing as my hearing was all muffed up, I only caught the words 'balaclava' and 'knife'.
Wait a minute... Balaclava... A red Balaclava and a kitchen knife! The room! The blood... oh gosh the blood... The vulnerability... the voices... the touches... the coffee...
I suddenly bolt upright... well... I try to at least. Bad idea.
A word of advice to you. If you are ever attacked by a crazed man in a balaclava... never attempt to sit up. Well.. you can if you want, but do be prepared for the following:
Nausea to the high extreme;
Obvious pain;
You tend to be hooked up to various monitors so if you are going to sit up, do so carefully so you don't scare the living crap out of the people in the room by the heart monitor disconnecting;
oh and the whole: 'Oh my God, you're awake.'
And then the inevitable questioning by various people... from police officers to gossip Queens. AKA Laverne.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled at the sudden noise around me, before flopping back onto the bed as the pain began to spread through my body. "Owww…." I groan, vaguely aware of people re-inserting drips and whatever into me.
"Newbie? You there?" I hear Dr Cox say to me. Yes, of course I'm here. Where else would I be?
"Uhh?" I mumble, as the pain begins to decrease. I slowly open my eyes, as he comes into view. A few other people began to gather around him.
"I said back off!" he yelled at them, and they backed away. My vision slowly becomes clearer as he looks back at me. "How're you feeling?" I think I should be asking him the same... since when did he care? I'm feeling rubbish anyway.
"Fine…" I mutter. What the hell...? Why did I just say that!?
"JD! JD!" Elliot runs up next to me, and grabs my hand. "Oh my god, are you ok?" Dr Cox just asked me that! Keep up with the conversation, woman.
"Do I look ok?" Ah, that's a better answer. Her expression changes from 'oh my god are you ok?' to 'oh you poor bugger', with just a hint of relief.
"Don't move, Bambi" Carla says from somewhere near my head, resting her hand on my shoulder. I do as she says. "Don't you remember?" she asks. No. Wait, yes I do. We've had this conversation twice already.
"Did you catch him?" I ask hopefully, ignoring Carla's advise and pushing myself sharply upwards. I ignore the slight pain in my side. I see Elliot looks nervously over to Dr Cox, who looks back at he, with a hint of regret. "I'm guessing that's a no then," I mutter.
"Do you know who he was?" I ask, aiming the question at Dr Cox. What's that expression? Does he look… guilty? That can't be right…
"Yeah... I knew him."
I raise my eyebrows and stare at him as he looks fixedly at the floor, just as Elliot's pager goes off.
"You should get that," I point out quietly.
"It's fine, I can stay..."
"Yeah, if you wanna lose your job." Dr Cox says, moving his eyes from the floor and staring a mark on the wall.
Elliot gives me an apologetic look and hurries off and out of the door, shoving bystanders away as she went, "Get out of here!" she says sharply. Aw, she's defending me...
There's an awkward silence for a moment. Just myself, Carla and Dr. Cox are in the room now that the bystanders have walked off in a disappointed march.
Dr. Cox is eventually the one who breaks the silence, "I'm sorry, Newbie."
What? Ok, what is happening to the world!?
"Why...?" I ask tiredly. Oh God, my side's starting to hurt... I grip the sheet in an attempt to ride it out... oh well... it was worth a try.
Carla comes round to make eye contact with me, "Just breathe through I, Bambi... someone will get you something." She glances behind her to someone and the next thing I know, the world is going darker again.
"It was my fault, that's why..." was the last thing I heard before the world goes blissfully dark. My last thought was an innocent question of how? How was it his fault?
