Chapter 7
John Carter walked into Daniel's room to see him staring blankly at the wall in front of him. "Hey Daniel. How are you feeling today?"
Daniel didn't respond. He didn't even turn his head.
"Daniel?" John asked worried. He went over to check on the young man and was leaning over him when he heard a voice.
"What are you doing?" Daniel question, confused.
John Carter jumped back, startled by the voice. He regained his footing and cautiously went back over to check Daniel's vitals again. "You didn't answer me when I called you. I got a little worried," he said while checking Daniel's pulse.
"Sorry. I guess I was just thinking."
"Do you always zone out when you think like that?"
"No. Only sometimes. Jack hates it though. He could have been talking to me for twenty minutes and I wouldn't have even known," Daniel replies with a tiny chuckle. "So how am I doing Dr. Carter?"
"Good. You are doing well enough to be released."
"Great," Daniel exclaimed excitedly as he started to get up.
"Not so fast." The young patient paused. "While you are well enough to be released, you are not well enough to drive yourself anywhere. You can get dressed, but I'm not going to officially sign your release papers until someone is here to take you home. That way you can keep the bed instead of waiting in the car, okay?"
"I'll take it," Daniel sighed. He took his clothes from the doctor and went into the bathroom to change, which was more painful than he thought it would be. He came back out and Dr. Carter was gone so he climbed back onto the bed and flipped on the TV and stared at it, bored out of his mind.
