Hello, again! I've been super busy the past few days. A bunch of my coworkers left because of school, which means I've had to work more to cover the lost people. Then I started class on Tuesday, so add all of that together, and it somehow equals me not being able to do anything I WANT to do.
Anyway, thanks to my reviewers, imsoproudofyou, and jjgeraghty! I really appreciate the kind words, I really do! Here's the next chapter to the story. I hope it's okay!
The bold is Lilly's thoughts, and the italics are the doctor's speaking.
You wanna shoot me? You wanna shoot me? Shoot me now!
You're gonna die.
Then do it already! Shoot me! Do it now!
Lilly's eyes snap open and instantly feels a sharp, searing, pain rush throughout her entire body. Her first instinct is to curl up in a little ball to protect herself. She begins by slowly attempting to move her hands, but finds she can't. In fact, she finds she can't move any part of her body. Her massively dilated blue eyes begin widely searching around, only to be met with blobs of green.
What's happening? Where am I?
She opens her mouth to speak but realizes one of the blobs is holding some sort of mask against her face that's releasing puffs of air. She starts to open her mouth again, but tastes something metallic, so instead, she roughly hacks, spraying crimson fluid into the plastic.
"She's coughing up blood!"
A distorted voice shouts from above.
Blood? Who's bleeding?
"Decreased breath sounds on the right! Set up a chest tube, now!"
A different voice demands with thick urgency.
That person needs help!
Lilly summons up all the strength she has to turn her head to the right, managing to knock off the mask in the process. Instantly, the smell of chemicals infiltrates her nostrils. It churns the bile in her stomach resulting in her spitting up more blood.
She gasps, feeling a sudden clenching tightness in her chest. With each breath she takes it constricts to the point where she no longer feels any pain.
"She's crashing!"
Black spots pop up in her vision, but before it completely can take over, a woman peers down over her face. The woman shakes her head, clearly full of disappointment.
Lilly's deep blue eyes widen in full surprise.
"Mom?"
