Thank you please review for an update tonight/tomorrow I hope you enjoy thanks.

Toris room was at the end of the first floor on the left hand side. She was in a single room with beige colored walls. There was a few chairs scattered around the bed which took up most of the room aside from the IV monitor. The room had a smell similar to a sterilized febreeze can which lightened the mood of the room. It was not very bright in the room, the only light entering came from the windows which brought a small sense of peace inside.

When everyone stepped inside of the room they all released a large breathe that they did not know they were holding. Tori appeared peaceful rather than in pain, but she still has not awoken from surgery so things are expected to change soon.

Cat took a look at Jade who was in shock, she stepped forward and just wrapped her arms around Jade to try and calm her nerves. Tori is going to be okay and Jade needed to know that.

"shh its okay Jade just breathe okay" cats voice was ever so calming.

She is personally not the smartest person, but when things matter she really does know what to say and do. That is one of the great things about her that many cherish.

Jade stiffened a sigh and relaxed her body into Cats arms. She begin to breathe in slowly and her heart rate had decreased back to normal.

"As you can see Tori looks great for her condition. She is in fact one of my strongest patients and I look forward to watching her recover." the doctor had started to do an inspection of Tori's body and pulse.

Once the doctor recorded all of his set information into her file, he set it by the bed and asked to be excused so he could make his rounds, stating that he would be back shortly to do another check up.

Everyone in the room decided to take a seat in the scattered chairs around them.

Jade sat next to Tori and placed her hand on hers intertwining their fingers.

Holly took a look at Jade and hid a smile over he face, she was truly pleased with how well the girl was handling the situation and how mature she appeared to be.

She just recently learned that Tori was interested in a girl, but was told she was straight. So Holly still had some questions of her own for Jade that would be asked another time not wanting to ask and find out Tori was talking about another girl and cause a problem between the two.

She would simply find out the information she needed to know as secretly and nonchalant as she possibly could.

"Jade"

"Yes Mrs. Vega?"

"how are you holding up, and Cat how are you?"

"Im okay." stated Jade, but she was unsure if she really was okay or not.

"Im really tired, but im also like really awake, and I want to bounce."

everyone in the room just laughed at Cat's response because it was so Cat.

Miss Vega gave a amused face to the answer feeling like she would come to love the girl.

"How ware you Mrs. Vega?"

"I am fine thank you, just a little antsy about this whole thing. I know how heart broken Tori will feel if this heart condition prevents her from being able to do the things she loves. For the hard ass I know she is, this is going to crush her and I don't think I am ready to see her like that."

"What do you mean hard ass?" jade spoke up almost immediately

"Well Tori tends to be a very independent person not wanting to need someone else to get by. She can be closed off at times, but that is only because she doesn't like to depend on others with fear of getting hurt."

"ohh I understand, I am very much like that too. Bad experiences can ruin so much for someone."

"That is what I am afraid of. I do not know if you know this, but Tori plays basketball. Well that is an understatement, she is amazing and one day will make it too the WNBA. My husband and I have been very strict towards her these last few months because she has received offers to play for D1 schools with a full ride. Now it just comes down to finishing the season at Hollywood Arts and her club team and staying out of trouble."

"Wow I had no idea, that is amazing."

"I know, she has worked her entire life for a shot like this and with the effects that this heart condition can have for her I am afraid that she is going to lose everything. Her gunshot wound will heal with the right physical therapy and she will be back on the court, but if her heart cannot handle her playing her world will collapse and I am afraid that it is more of a possibility than a chance."

Jade got out of her seat and walked towards Holly for an embrace. The older women wrapped her arms around Jade thank fully for the sign of compassion.

Jade returned to her seat and received a smile from Cat.

Cat decided to speak up for once and said, "What happens if tori can not play anymore."

holly understood the question and sighed before she began,

"Well a lot can happen Cat. Some of it involves her possible working on maintain a stable heart rate and through physical therapy being able to play again, but she would end up saying good bye to the pros. But she could also do something stupid due to anger and that is what I am afraid of."

"Well is Tori starts to act up, just call me and I will be there. I don't want to lose her to anyone especially herself."

"thank you Jade, I will admit I tend to not really like who Tori dates, but your a keeper, don't forget that okay sweety."

a few hours had passed and everyone was still waiting in the room as frustrated as ever, just waiting for the minute for Tori to come back to them. The wait seemed to just go on with out an ending. There was a comfortable silence filling the room wh9ch brought peace to the frustration. The minute Tori awakes will be a commotion so the silence is nice.

Cat is sitting in a loveseat chair curled up in a blanket fast asleep while jade continues to not off in her chair while holding Tori's hand. Holly has been talking to her husband who arrived shortly after they entered the room and they have been discussing the plan for Tori's future.

Doctor Kingston continued to make frequent check ups on Tori's condition reassuring the family that everything appeared to be fine, but Tori had entered a medically induced coma from the anesthesia given to her from surgery. Her expected awakening time is in the next for hours which everyone is just waiting for. The only thing unaccounted for was Tori.

As time continued to pass the occupants in the room began to follow each other into he idea of taking a nap until Tori awakens. Soft snores filled the room creating a comfortable atmosphere for everyone.

Thank you for reading and I apologies for how short the chapter is, I just didnt want to possibly write about Tori coming to and leaving it at a cliff hanger so I felt this would be appreciated. If you review I will update again tonight/tomorrow so is up to you if you want the update or not. As always thank you.
