I sit up quickly and regret it immediately. I feel all light headed and I glance around the white colored room. Where in the hell am I? My vision slowly becomes clear as do my memories. That man… in the woods… wait… I glance quickly around the room.

Where are Brittany and Sam? I push myself off the bed and swing my legs off. I glance over and see the ivy stuck in my arm… I pull the clam off my finger and the door to my room slides open.

A nurse hurries around the corner, "Ms. Lopez you shouldn't move yet." She places her hands firmly on my shoulders and I relax slightly.

"Where…" I mumble slightly and take a deep breath, "who brought me here…?" I ask curiously as the pain in my abdomen intensifies. The nurse gives me a small smile and helps me back onto the bed.

"They went down to the Cafeteria; they're very worried about you." The nurse smiles and pulls the covers over me. I take a deep breath and she smiles, "you'll be feeling a good amount of pain for the next few days, now give me a moment while I go and find your doctor." She smiles and heads out of the room.

I am no longer in the clothes I was in, a hospital gown hangs from my shoulders and I lean up slowly groaning.

"Son of a bitch…" I mumble and sit up to a sitting position. The room I am in is relatively nice, only made for one person, a flat screen TV hangs off the wall and I am lying in a pretty nice size bed… I must be in ICU… I glance down at my gown as the pain rakes my body again, I can see some fresh blood on my gown, probably wasn't too smart to try and move…

It feels like someone beat my ass… I glance up and see the closed curtain that blocks the sliding door to my room. I pull my collar slightly and glance down at the bandage that covers the wound and bite my lip. The bandage is slowly being soaked in blood. I lean back slowly and close my eyes.

"Damn Lopez…" I mutter to myself, "Why do I always get myself into this shit." The door opens slowly and I glance over, in walks a man in a white lab coat, my vision is going blurry again, so I cannot read his name tag.

"Hell Ms. Lopez, I am your doctor, Dr. Davis." He kneels next to the bed and pats his hand on mine.

"Hey doc…" I mutter quietly, and a small smile creeps onto his face.

"Now, when you were brought in you had a gunshot to the abdomen, which we had some trouble with, but we got the bullet out, but it was a very close call." I swallow hard and bite my lip.

"You had lost a lot of blood, your friend was kind enough to donate some blood, and it saved your life." The doctor stands up and glances up at the bag that the ivy leads to.

I stare down at the bed for a second… my friend donated blood… "Which friend?" I ask curiously and he smiles.

"It was a Ms. Brittany Pierce." He smiles and turns back to the ivy bag, I smile softly and shake my head, Britt I owe you one…

"For the next few days you will be feeling some pain, and I'm sorry to say but you will need to stay here for at least a few more days, for observational purposes." I nod and the doctor slides his chair over to me.

"The nurse told me how you tried to escape, so we'll need to change those bandages." I nod and he smiles and stands up.

"The nurse will be in, in a moment to wrap the wound." I nod and he throws me a wave.

"I'll be back in a little while to check on you!" He smiles and slides the door open and heads behind the curtain.

I lay back and close my eyes, Brittany saved my life… I feel a smile creep on my lips and the door suddenly opens.

The nurse from earlier and another nurse walk in, "alright let's get that bandage changed." I nod and the second nurse helps me up.

I'm back in a sitting position again, the nurse helps me pull my gown up and I use the blanket to cover the bottom half of me.

The bandage is a good size rectangle that so now stained with blood, "this won't hurt a bit." The nurse smiles, she slowly reaches for the bandage. She slowly pulls of the cotton bandage I can feel a bit of pressure but not any pain…

She pulls the bandage off and reaches behind her to grab a new bandage; this bandage looks thicker than the other, more cotton and more than likely able to hold more blood. She slides the bandage on my abdomen and pats it down softly to not induce any pain.

"Okay, now just a second let me secure the bandage, then you are good to go." I nod and smile, at least I get a nice nurse…

She grabs something from behind her that looks like tape, and sticks a few strips on the bandage.

"Okay, we are done! This will hold, if you feel any discomfort let me know, do you feel up to eating anything?" She asks and tosses the old bandage into the bio hazard bag.

I shrug slightly and bite my lip, "maybe something small, I'm not feeling too hot." The nurse smiles and pats me on the leg.

"I'll get you some water and you can try to eat some Jello." She smiles and I nod, "thank you." I mumble and she smiles, "not a problem." She heads out of the room and closes the door.

I finally get a chance to glance up at the clock which reads, 9:27 AM. I lean back and turn to glance up at my ivy bag, which to me looks empty, maybe that's why I feel like this…

I sigh quietly, and the door opens again. Could I be any more popular? I smirk to myself and turn to see a worried Sam.

He has a balloon in one hand and a vase with flowers in it in the other.

"You're awake!" He smiles and sits the flowers and the balloon down next to the window. He sits down in the chair the doctor sat in and looks at me with worried eyes.

"I'm fine stop looking at me like that…" I whisper quietly and he grins.

"You're going to hurt like hell for the next few days, so take it easy… how long do you have to stay in here?" he glances around the room and I sigh.

"Doc says a few days… I feel awful…" I whisper and sit up slowly.

Sam sighs quietly and looks down at the ground, "do you remember what happened?" He bites his lip and I nod slowly.

"You wouldn't heal… we didn't know what happened… we had to bring you here." He whispers his eyes never leaving the ground.

"It's okay Sam…really…" I pat him on the shoulder and he smiles softly.

"I…I heard what Brittany did." I whisper and Sam looks up at me and nods.

"She was devastated… her mom came in, you had flatlined… Brittany was crushed." Sam whispers and I bite my lip and glance down at the blanket on the bed.

"I flatlined…" I whisper and Sam looks at me and nods slowly.

The doctors didn't tell me that… I fiddle with the edge of my blanket and Sam sighs quietly.

"I wonder why you didn't heal… he shot you and you still aren't healing." He glances up at me and I nod slowly.

"There was something off about that bullet, there had to be…" I whisper and Sam nods the door opens slowly, and Sam turns around and a smile creeps onto my face.

Mrs. Pierce and Brittany walk in the door, when Britt sees that I am awake her eyes go wide and she hurries quickly over to the bed.

She bends down and gives me a small peck on the forehead, "you're awake…" She whispers and pulls up a chair to sit down next to the bed.

I can see her eyes are about to release tears and I slide my hand over her's.

"Everything's okay Britt and I hear it was all because of you." She grins and I chuckle quietly, and bite my lip as the pain cones back. Brittany and Sam exchange a worried look and the door opens yet again, to reveal Dr. Davis.

"I'm gone two minutes and you get a ton of visitors?" He chuckles and I lean back and close my eyes.

"I am guessing you're experiencing a lot of pain, I've got your new bag this medicine will probably knock you out. Is that okay?" I nod and my eyes flutter open.

I glance over at Brittany and she smiles softly and brings my hand up to her lips, "I'll be right here when you wake up…" I slide my hand out of hers and hold up my pinkie.

"Promise?" I ask smiling and she quickly wraps her pinkie around mine, "I promise."

Right after she says that I feel the sensation of the medicine and everything goes black.
