Mrs Knight drew in a shaky breath as she mentally psyched herself to hear the seemingly never ending injury list. The doctor pulled out a chair and asked Mrs Knight and Katie to sit down before doing so himself, he looked down at his notes on his clipboard before sighing and looking up into Mrs Knight's teary eyes.
"Let's start with James," Dr Lloyd announced, "Well Mr Diamond is lucky to be alive considering the speed of the car that went into theirs, he has broken his right arm and fractured his right leg and left wrist. James also received a bad concussion after smashing his head through the window and hitting it off the jagged glass; James also broke a few ribs and has a few nasty cuts to his face. Mr Diamond has had surgery to fix the fracture in his leg and we have also had to stitch his face and head up. We're unsure off when he will wake up, probably late in the night or some time tomorrow, or maybe in a few days, we just don't know." The doctor pushed his hand through his short hair before taking a deep breath and continuing on.
"Logan Mitchell," he looked down to his clipboard, "Mr Mitchell practically mangled his left arm, it was broken and fractured, we almost had to consider amputating it but luckily we were able to save it, his left leg also needed surgery to fix and he fractured his right ankle. Logan has broken a few ribs and sustained a concussion, we are unsure of when Mr Mitchell will wake up, I'm very sorry." The Doctor brought in another deep breath as he looked down at the clipboard once more; he looked up at Carlos and saw that he had fallen asleep due to the pain medication.
"What about my son?" Mrs Knight whispered, not trusting her own voice.
"Kendall Knight," The doctor looked down, "Well first of all, we caught Kendall getting out of the car and going to get help on footage, we can show it to you later. Kendall has broken three ribs and bruised a couple of others, one rib required surgery to fix it due to the degree of angle it had situated itself at, Kendall has also broken his right leg and sprained his ankle. Kendall also broke his left arm in two different places from collapsing after his adrenaline rush, but the worst of it all is his liver. Kendall's liver sustained a fair amount of damage, at the moment we are unsure of how it happened, there are many different theories but Kendall is going to need a transplant, fast. Without the transplant his liver will fail and most likely cause infection and I'm sorry to say but; kill him."
"How long does he have before his liver fails?" Katie asked, her voice shaky and uneven,
"At the moment we're giving him roughly a month providing there are no complication's in his health," Doctor Lloyd explained, feeling awfully guilty for this family's situation, "I'm sorry about how many injuries the boys have and how extreme it sounds but the boys' car went into the light pole at about thirty-five miles-per-hour, and the second car, that went into theirs, was travelling at about forty, normally these kinds of speeds are fatal but your son, god bless him, fought through his own injuries to save his friends. You should be so very proud of what he did."
"I am, I'm so proud of him, I just wish this was all a dream. I wish everything was okay, I wish the boys were okay." Mrs Knight wiped the tears running down her face away before letting out a small sob. Just then a small device clipped onto the doctor's pocket beeped, it looked somewhat like a walkie-talkie, the doctor held it near his face and Mrs Knight watched as a muffled voice came through the other side. Doctor Lloyd placed the device back in its original place before speaking,
"It seems like Mr Diamond is ready to wake up,"
"Can we see him?" Katie asked, staring into the doctor's eyes with her own big, brown puppy dog ones.
"I'm sorry, only your mother will be allowed in to see James, whilst your allowed to see Carlos you can't see the others until their out of the ICU because you're under the age limit. I'm sorry about that, Carlos' nurse will stay in here with you, I'll be back with your mother soon. Before Katie could argue back; her mother and the doctor had already left with a quick 'goodbye', leaving her alone with a sleeping Carlos and a blonde- haired nurse.
Mrs Knight followed the doctor through the corridors, constantly dragging her hands across her eyes, trying to stop the flow of tears. She couldn't help but look through the small windows situated in the door and the occasional room with windows across half the wall, she couldn't help but see the dreadfully injured adults and children, room after room, after room. She felt all the blood run from her face as the doctor stopped outside one of the doors, it was number '105'.
"Are you okay?" Doctor Lloyd asked, one hand on the door handle,
"As I'll ever be." Mrs Knight replied sadly, the door was pushed open and Mrs Knight slipped inside, she was instantly taken back by James' appearance, he looked a lot worse than what the doctor had told her. His entire right leg and foot were in a cast, he had a sling around his left arm and a cast around his wrist which she presumed would be replaced for something a little less bulkier soon, he also had a cast and a sling around his entire right arm. James also had a highly visible stitched up cut running across his right eye brow, there were many other smaller cuts on his face, which Mrs Knight was sure James wouldn't be too happy about, and he also had a neck brace, probably for precaution, and a cast around his ribs which was easy to see due to the neckline of the hospital gown being set quite low. To finish the whole lot off, there were various machines attached to James and a horrible sound was made when he breathed, this was due to the cast being tight and also his ribs. Mrs Knight broke down in tears again, sitting in the soft armchair type chair set close to James' bedside.
"Uhh…" James groaned, his fingers and eyelids twitching, Mrs Knight lifted her head and grabbed James' sweaty hand, she ignored the questions that the nurses and doctors in the room were throwing at him and instead focused all of her attention on James. The heart monitor began beeping a little faster as James opened his eyelids for a split second before closing them again.
"Come on honey, open your eyes!" Mrs Knight urged, smiling slightly as James forced his eyes open, he didn't seem to be taking anything in. It was like he was looking but not seeing, until suddenly a small whimper escaped his lips, this was most probably because of the pain, the nurses and doctors swarming around him, the noise and the fact that he had no idea where he was and what was happening.
"Wha-" James cut himself off with a small cough, the nurses scribbling things down on clipboards, he tried to move his head but it wouldn't, he could feel something holding his head in place, as James went to reach it with his left hand he felt a horrible pain and yelped, something wasn't right.
"Honey, it's mama Knight, how're you feeling?" He heard Mrs Knight croak out, he could hear the pain and tears in her voice, what the hell had happened?
"What… go-going…on?" James managed to get out, his throat sore and his body aching.
"Don't you remember what happened?" That's all Mrs Knight had to say before all the memories came flooding back to him.
"Th-the acci-dent!" James had to keep taking in rough, shaky breaths in-between words, it was getting on his nerves, and then suddenly realization hit him. His friends. What had happened to Carlos, Logan and Kendall? Were they okay? "Fr-friends." James croaked hoping someone would understand, Mrs Knight looked to doctor Lloyd for help, she didn't know what to say to him.
"James, Carlos is fine, he woke up a little while ago, Logan and Kendall are still asleep. We'll tell you more once you've had another sleep and answered some of our questions, okay buddy?" Doctor Lloyd tried not to panic the injured boy for fear it would make him worse.
"O-okay." James croaked, he so badly wanted to look somewhere other than the ceiling, but whatever was around his neck was preventing him from doing so.
"Okay, on a scale of one-to-ten, how would you rate the pain going around your whole body?"
"A six or… seven." James took in a deep breath, he could still hear Mama Knight crying.
"How much does your wrist and arm, leg, ribs and head hurt? Just give me the numbers in order if you can't speak, okay buddy?"
"Three and eight, five, seven a-and eight." James estimated, he quickly added, "A lot." To the end of the answer hoping he would understand, James heard whispering about pain medication and the shuffling of feet, he saw the doctor's face come into view again,
"James, we're going to give you some stronger pain medication, this is going to make you sleepy and maybe a little nauseous, when you wake up we'll send you in for some more X-rays and fill you in on your friends, okay?"
"Okay, t-thanks." James croaked, smiling a little and feeling a pulling sensation on his face. Oh no, the face! James' heart monitor started beeping faster,
"James, what's wrong?" A nurse asked,
"H-how ba-d… does the f-ace loo-k?" The nurse and Mrs Knight chuckled,
"It'll be fine!" She assured him, the nurse had most probably seen Big Time Rush on TV or read about them or something since she understood what James meant by 'the face'. A different nurse came over and administered the medicine through James' IV, he couldn't believe how quickly it was working. James' eyes drooped slightly and eventually shut completely, his body going still as he fell into another deep sleep.
"Let's go back to your daughter and Mr Garcia, shall we?" Doctor Lloyd asked after filling in a chart. They left the nurses to tend to James and walked down the corridors and back into Carlos room. The first thing Mrs Knight saw was Katie asleep, curled up in a chair and a nurse checking Carlos' pulse.
"She fell asleep not so long ago, Carlos woke up temporarily but was asleep again within a few minutes." The nurse spoke up before handing the doctor her clipboard and leaving the room. The doctor said he was going to analyse the boy's charts in his office and to press the call button if there were any immediate changed in Carlos. Mrs Knight nodded before lifting Katie from the chair and placing her on her own lap, the motherly women stroked her hair and whispered into her sleeping daughters' hair;
"Two down, two to go." Mrs Knight whispered, referring to the boys waking up. Mrs Knight took one last look at Carlos before closing her own eyes and falling asleep, she had a feeling that all this will have caught up with her in the morning. But at least she knew that Carlos was going to be fine and James had been awake and talking, she just hoped that Logan and Kendall would wake up soon and nothing would go wrong.
Review, pleeease :D
