FanFreak01: Well your answer is answered in this chapter
StrangeFate186: Well here you go Chapter 3 of The Accident, and glad to see that you like my story so far.
Chapter 3: A Visit from Family
Before Sam could answer the question, there came a knock at the door. Sam got up and opened the door to allow two people in. It was Rachel and Parker. They both grimaced at the sight of their little sister.
"What? Do I have something in my teeth?" Gretchen joked, knowing what they were grimacing about.
"Glad to see you haven't lost your good humor" Rachel said, sitting in the chair closest to the bed.
Sam sat on the foot of the bed again. Parker sat in the chair next to his twin sister. Rachel pushed her jet-black hair out of her face and looked at her older and younger sister with piercing emerald green eyes. Parker on the other hand sat back in his chair and ran his hand through his dark blonde hair, fixing his blue-green eyes on something other than the machines his younger sister was hooked up to.
"Sam what happened?" Parker asked.
"Mom said she explained on the phone" Sam said surprised.
"I thought you were taking Forensics?" Gretchen said inquiringly.
"I am, we just released for summer break" Parker said defensively
"Glenn will be here in about an hour" Rachel said, nonchalantly.
Gretchen hit herself in the head with her hand then said "Ow, well, that was stupid"
"Is Glenn bringing his wife?" Sam asked while Gretchen was gripping her head.
"No Sammy" Rachel said calling Sam by another nickname.
"Samantha, you are the only one of us besides Gretchen who still lives here, was the accident on the news?" Parker asked addressing Sam by her full first name.
"Don't even start with that Parker" Sam said threating Parker.
"Start with what?" Parker asked
"Shit for someone who is going to be a Forensic scientist you are not very intelligent" Rachel said, cuffing her twin on the head.
"Start with the use of full names" Gretchen said casually, and trying to read the label on the IV.
"Oh" Parker said, as Gretchen, with a frustrated sigh, stopping trying to read the label.
"How bad was the accident?" Rachel asked.
Gretchen nodded at Sam. Sam turned on TV, and the report was running again. Sam kept a close watch on her sisters' face as it was played again. Gretchen jaw twitched as it showed the image of Ferb's Cruze. Parker and Rachel gasped at the shot of the passenger seat. The news reported ended, and Sam turned off the TV.
There was a soft knock at the door. Glenn came in; his face was solemn as he saw Gretchen sitting in the hospital bed. Glenn ran his hand through his spiky, light reddish-brown hair. Glenn's dark blue-green eyes fixed on Sam. Everyone could see the questions in his eyes.
"Oh God, Gretchen, it was you?" Glenn choked out the words.
"Why did you say it like that?" Sam asked her brother, who is a year younger than herself.
"When mom said there was an accident, I thought it was Kurtis, not Gretchen" Glenn said.
The statement was greeted by silence. It was common knowledge that Glenn and Kurtis didn't see eye to eye. When their mom had started dating Kurtis, Glenn had just finished his junior year of high school. Glenn wasn't impressed that Kurtis had married their mom. The following years Glenn slowly began to accept the fact that Kurtis was his step-father.
"Okay Brianiac, say something" Glenn said calling Gretchen by his nickname for her.
"What do you want to say?" Gretchen asked, keeping her voice neutral, fixing her dark blue eyes on her oldest brother.
"Are you ok?" Glenn asked, this question being met by a collective groan from his other siblings.
"My physical state is not ok, but my mental state is very stable" Gretchen said, in her normal way of speaking, which generally most people couldn't understand except her family.
Glenn sighed than asked "Mind if I sit?"
Gretchen gave him a "Are you kidding me?" look over the top of her glasses.
"Sorry Brianiac," Glenn apologized, "Whose car was destroyed?"
"Ferb's Cruze" Gretchen said.
"Oh" Glenn said, "That was a nice car"
"Well it being a nice car didn't prevent it from being wrecked" Rachel muttered.
"Was Ferb hurt?" Glenn asked ignoring Rachel's comment.
"He has a broken arm and stiches above his right eye, and that's about it" Sam said
"So Gretchen was hurt worse than Ferb, why?" Glenn asked
"He was driving Glenn" Gretchen said, "I was the passenger"
"Oh" Glenn said for the second time.
This was met by eye rolls from Sam and Gretchen. Then they both busted up laughing, making silly faces at each other. Parker, Rachel, and Glenn joined in, laughing and joking. It was like when they were younger, when Sam got her appendix out. Gretchen's older siblings were happy to hear her laughing.
"Okay stop, stop, you guys are making my sides hurt even worse" Gretchen said in between breaths.
They stopped with the joking and face making, and glanced with concern at Gretchen. Gretchen wiped her eyes. She then noticed that her siblings were staring at her.
"You guys are just going to make the stitches come out" Gretchen said.
"You have stitches in your side?" Rachel asked
"Apparently, because I can feel them" Gretchen said fidgeting slightly.
"Why are you wearing your glasses?" Parker asked
"Well I couldn't find my contacts case, I think it might be under my bed" Gretchen replied, thoughtfully.
"And those weren't damaged in the accident?" Glenn asked surprised.
"I have run these over with my truck three different times" Gretchen commented pulling off her glasses and cleaning them.
"Mom and Kurtis got you a truck?" Glenn asked, eyebrows raised, "Why did they get you a truck?"
"Yes they got me a truck because I wanted a truck" Gretchen answered putting her glasses back on.
"What brand of truck?" Glenn asked
"You are being nosy Glenn," Gretchen said with a light chuckle, "but because you asked it is a Chevy Silverado"
"That's a big truck" Glenn commented
"Not any bigger than your ¾ ton Chevy Avalanche" Gretchen commented.
"Ok Parker we need to get home and unpack" Rachel said tapping her twin on his shoulder, noticing that Gretchen was trying to stifle a yawn.
"Damn anesthetic" Gretchen muttered, "Then put you sleep, and then you wake up and then it just makes you crash out again"
A phone trilled, making everyone jump. Glenn reached in to his pocket and pulls his out. He glanced at the screen, and silenced it.
"Glenn you are not supposed to have your phone on in the hospital" Sam said her light blue eyes glinted dangerously.
"I know Sam. I have to go now, a company meeting just happened to take place here in Danville" Glenn said as he stood up, "I will be back tomorrow"
Glenn, Parker, and Rachel left the room. Sam sighed and glanced at her sister, who had fallen asleep. Sam smiled and took Gretchen's glasses off and placed them on the table. Gretchen asleep like this reminded Sam of the time when she was in college and they had a conversation and Gretchen had fallen asleep midway through the conversation. Sam settled in to the chair that she had slept in and reached in to her bag and pulled out a book. Sam read quietly listening to clock on the wall tick and the beeping of the monitors.
