Again, sorry for the chapter delay I'll try to post 2 or 3 more tonight.
Edward's POV:
Pain aches all throughout my body. My head is throbbing, along with my feet. What happened in there? I try to crane my neck to see where Paige is, but it's held in some sort of brace, one that keeps it completely and utterly straight. I try to wave my arm, but I can't. At the moment, I must be paralyzed. How?
"Good, you're awake. Afraid you never were gonna be," a cranky, middle-aged nurse remarks.
"Excuse me?" I ask.
"Oh, right. You and the pretty girl," she looks over her shoulder at the room opposite us, "got hit by a car."
"Wait. What?!"
"A person wasn't looking, and badabing, you got two injured teenagers."
"How long has it been?"
"Eh…about two days. You still look pretty scraped up. She's less injured, woke up yesterday asking all sorts of questions, like yourself."
"So how long is it until we are all healed?"
"Goodness gracious, kid. Hold your horses. The doctor will answer all your questions soon," the nurse spats. And then she storms out, yelling for 'Dr. Murphy'.
The faint beeping of the heart monitor wakes me up. As I flutter my eyes open, I notice a middle-aged doctor with short brown hair with glasses. "He's awake," the doctor says, "Go ahead. Ask away."
"How's Paige?"
"Better than you are." Oh well, that's encouraging.
"Okay. How long until we're out?"
"Depends on how fast you heal." He laughs at this remark. We just keep going back and forth. Question for an answer.
By the time we're through, I have the cranky nurse and the doctor laughing uncontrollably. If these are the people operating on me, I'd better brace myself.
