Ch. 3

Dez: You need alone time with her.

We're going to the gift shop.

Trish: We'll be back soon. Just relax and be the here when she wakes up.

*Follows Dez out.

*Austin patiently waits for Ally to wake up. He falls asleep in the chair still holding her hand. Ally slowly wakes up and squeezes Austin's hand. He wakes up and smiles at her.

Ally:(sleepily) Where am I? What happened?

Austin: Your in the hospital. Your appendix was removed. That's why your stomach was hurting. How are you feeling?

Ally: Dizzy and thirsty. How long was I asleep?

Austin: About 3 hrs. You..could have..(starts to tear up)

Ally: What Austin?

Austin: You could've d-died. If you didn't get that surgery. A ruptured appendix is a serious thing. I almost lost you.

Ally: It's ok. I'm ok now. You saved my life and I'll get better to now. Thank you.

Austin:(cries) and lays his head in her lap. She rubs his head and calms him down.

Ally: Can you get the doctor. I want to know if I can eat or drink anything.

Austin: Ok.

*Gets some tissues and pushes nurse button. The doctor walks in.

Doctor: I'm glad to see you awake. Do you need anything?

Ally: Some water please. Can I eat anything?

Doctor: You can have water. What would you like to eat?

Ally: Pickles.

Doctor: That maybe too much acid. How about some jello?

Ally: That's fine.

Doctor: Ok. I'll be back.

*Mr. Dawson walks in with Dez and Trish behind him.

Mr. Dawson: Hi honey, glad you're awake. I brought you a pillow and blanket from your room. I also bought Dougie Dolphin. Austin thought it would make you feel better.

Ally: Thanks. I think he needs Dougie more than I do right now.

*Looks at Austin whose face is red and tear stained.

Dez: Me and Trish went the gift shop. We bought you a Get Well Soon balloon and a horse puzzle.

Ally: Thanks guys. *The doctor returns with Jello and water.

Doctor: Here's your water and Jello you requested. You need to eat slowly. If you don't eat it all that's ok.

Ally: Thanks.

*Mr. Dawson gives Ally her pillow, blanket and stuffed Dolphin.

Trish: We'll be back tomorrow. Come on Dez.

*Mr. Dawson kisses Ally's forehead and leaves out.
