I did research for this chapter but if some things are incorrect, sorry. I'm not a doctor, or studying to be one so I used the internet.

Chapter 5

"It seems that CeCe suffered a broken rib from the crash." Dr. Carlin said.

"So she'll be okay?" Georgia asked, seeming to cheer up.

That is until the doctor said, "If that was her only injury, yes. The rib punctured her lung. Now we've put a chest tube in her to help her breath."

"Wait wait. What's a chest tube?" I asked.

"Well, when a lung collapses we take a tube and insert it under the armpit to the lung. It lets air escape, but doesn't let it reenter the lung. We usually leave it in until no air escapes from the tube. Meaning the lung has recovered and is functioning normally. Then we'll do an x-ray just to make sure."

"So she'll be fine?" I asked urgently. I was desperate to know.

Dr. Carlin nodded. "I don't mean to get your hopes up, but I do think she'll recover. We'll have to keep her here though, to watch her and make sure the lung is healing. We'll move her into this room soon, so if you could please leave the doorway clear."

I got the hint and wheeled myself out of the way. He left and a few moments later a nurse wheeled CeCe into the room. Dr. Carlin and the nurse helped her into the hospital bed and put the tube and the mechanism it was hooked to, which I later looked up and found it's called a water valve, beside her on the floor. She was in a hospital gown and didn't have her shirt on, but I saw her bra strap when they laid her down. I also where they had bandaged her rib.

Her mom went to sit in the chair beside her and I stayed where I was. As much as I wanted to get close to her, I didn't think it'd be appropriate. I looked up at Ashley. "I can wheel myself back to my room. Just let me know when she's up." Then I left before anyone could stop me.

Ty helped me climb back in bed and I told my family how CeCe was. Ty went outside to call Deuce and let him know. Mom and Dad had to go back to work and I told Ty that no matter what the doctors said, I'd stay so I could be with CeCe and check on her. Ty knew there was no arguing with me so he left and said he'd stop by the set for us. Ten minutes after he left the nurse came in and gave me the pills to help ease the pain. A few minutes after I took them I was out cold.

I don't know what time I woke up but when I did, I saw Ian sitting in one of the chairs, watching TV. I faintly heard someone on the TV say something about Iron Weasel.

"Ian…w-what are you doing here?" I mumbled sleepily.

He looked over at me. "You're up. CeCe wanted me to come and get you, but since you were sleeping I said I'd bring you in there when you woke up."

"Oh." I was still drowsy from the sleep, but managed to get into my wheelchair (with a little help anyway). The pain in my back stopped hurting for now, but I thought the wheelchair might be a good idea. In case, it started to hurt again. He wheeled me to the room and I saw CeCe sitting up in her bed. That immediately woke me up.

"Rocky! Oh God are okay?" her eyes teared up.

Oh my. She was sitting there with a tube in her body and was wondering if I was okay! "No, no. Ceece calm down. I'm okay."

"But you're in a wheelchair…"

I shook my head and wiggled my legs. "I'm not paralyzed. Dr. Carlin said my back muscles are bruised and that it would hurt to stand so I am in this for now. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go home."

She sighed in relief. "Was that all you got from the wreck?"

"No. I got stitches in my head, plus a concussion. So I don't remember much of the wreck." Ian wheeled me over to the bed.

CeCe sat up and pulled me into a hug. "I woke up and didn't see you here and I got so worried!"

"I was the same way babe." I rubbed her back softly.

Ashley's phone went off. When I looked over at her, she was fishing around in her purse. She looked up and said "Sorry," her cheeks a deep shade of red. She pulled her phone out and answered it. "Hello? Spencer? I-I-how…" she quickly left the room.

CeCe turned my head towards her. I could tell she was jealous. It was in her eyes. Then she quickly hid it.

Did she really think I wanted Ashley? I mean, yes she's drop dead gorgeous and sexy but CeCe had my heart. I leaned over, kissed her gently, and whispered "Don't worry CeCe. I'm yours."

She smiled. Then I noticed something. "Hey, where's your aunt and uncle. And Kyla?"

"They left awhile ago. It's like eight o'clock at night."

"What? I slept all day?" that was embarrassing.

"Hey I did too. I only woke up an hour ago." CeCe said.

I smiled at her. I looked over at her mom. "Since you have work in the morning, and I'm staying here anyway, I'll watch her and you can go home and sleep."

Georgia shook her head, "No I should stay. CeCe-"

"Will be fine." CeCe interrupted her mother. "Rocky will call you if anything happens right Rock?" I nodded. "It won't help if I come home and we get kicked out for lack of payment mom."

The cop sighed. "Yeah I guess you're right. Ian do you and Ashley need a ride home?"

"Nope!" Ashley walked in, with a very attractive blonde on her arm. "Spencer will give us a ride home."

"This is Spencer?" I asked.

"Hi. Sorry about your accident." She said.

Georgia kissed her daughter on the head then hugged her, then pulled me in a hug. "You call me the minute you need me." Then she left.

"How'd you get here Spence?" Ian asked, crossing his arms, then wincing and immediately unfolding them.

"We moved here when my brother died. Then Kyla texted me and said Ashley was in a wreck, then I saw about it on the news. I only knew it was you guys because of the Camaro."

"Well the Camaro is dead now. Least I was insured."

CeCe looked at him, "Hey what about us? I'm breathing through a tube here!""Yeah and I had stitches!" I said.

"Heyyy. You two will heal. Metal won't." He was lucky he was joking and we were hurt because he would've been in trouble otherwise.

CeCe glared at him anyway and I looked at the tube in her body. Then her bandages and I frowned. "You poor baby."

She gave me a small smile. "Don't worry Rock. I'm okay."

"Yeah, but…you look so vulnerable. It's weird."

"And it's weird seeing you in a wheelchair." She countered.

About a half hour after Spencer came in the trio left. It was getting late and since they were keeping CeCe I was staying too. Dr. Carlin said I could go home but I didn't want to leave CeCe. He gave me a pill bottle that had my prescription in it, my mom had gotten them filled and Ty brought it up here. The pain was slightly hurting, so I thought the other was still in effect so I put them in my pocket. CeCe insisted that I sleep in the bed with her, so I climbed in with her and quickly fell asleep.
