Hey! Welcome!
Remember when I asked if it was okay if I used something from SAO? Well no one responded... :( So! I'm doing it! Either in this chapter or next!L
IF YOU ALREADY READ THIS CHAPTER, READ IT AGAIN! I some how COMPLETELY left out chapter 8 so I'm putting it here.
I was rereading my story on here and was so confused because a big part a I wrote WASNT THERE! So here it is!
Chapter Eight
The Hospital
In the hospital laid two unconscious bodies. The bodies of Erza Scarlet and Jellal Fernandes. That night the bus driver died, nine passengers died and the man in the truck that hit them. There were only two survivors. They only survived because they sat at the back of the bus while everyone else sat closer to the front. They both don't have many injuries. Jellal broke his left wrist and hand. Erza broke her right ankle. They are both completely covered with bruises and cuts.
Jellal's POV
Everything is dark. All I can do is listen to the voices of three people.
"Why are these two in the same room?"
"We found the girl wrapped in the boy's arms."
"As if he was trying to protect her."
"How bad are their injuries?"
"They are covered with cuts, bruises, and some cuts have shards of glass in them. We have got most of the glass out. The girl has a large cut stretching across her forehead and it passes over her left eye and another deep cut on her left cheek, then also a really deep cut on her back and was impaled by something on the right side of her stomach, it's not too deep and a broken ankle. The boy has a broken wrist and hand. A large cut on his back stretching from his shoulder to the end of his back, a deep cut on his right arm, a deep cut on his cheek, and was impaled by something on his left leg, it pierced all the way through his leg."
"It sounds really bad, but they will both be fine and will be released from the hospital a day or two after they wake up."
"You really think they will be okay with injuries like that?"
"Yes. We took care of everything. They just have to wait for everything to heal."
"There may be a couple scars."
"Shouldn't we call their parents?"
"We don't have their parents numbers..."
"Oh okay."
I tried sitting up. All I did was move around a bit.
"Is he waking up?" I heard three pairs of feet walk towards me
I tried moving again. Hmm? Can't really move...
I slowly opened my eyes. I saw two doctors and a nurse.
"Sir? How are you feeling? What's your name?" One of the doctors asked
"My name is Jellal Fernandes."
"Do you know the girl's name?" The nurse asked
Girl? Girl? Hmm?
ERZA!
I shot straight up in the bed "IS ERZA OK?!" They all jumped back a bit. I must of scared them.
"Who is Erza?" The nurse finally asked
"The girl I was with! She has red no Scarlet hair! I was trying to protect her! And-And-and"
"Sir, calm down. She is fine. She is in the bed next to you."
I looked to my right and saw her unconscious on a bed. I sighed in relief and laid back down. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my left hand, back and left leg..
"Oww. Why does my back, leg and arm hurt so much?" I groaned
They explained all of mine and Erza's injuries then left. I started to drift off to sleep then I heard someone whisper my name.
"J-Jellal? Jellal? Ar-are you here? Wh-where am I? Jellal?" Erza panicked and sobbed
I tried sitting up but my back hurts too much. I was going to say something but my mouth is too dry and it hurt when I talk.
All I could do is listen to her sob. It's late at night and the doctors won't check on us until morning. I wish I could comfort her.
After a while her sobs turned into a peaceful in and out of her breath. I finally fell asleep listening to her soft breaths.
I woke up and the lights were still off. They must have not checked on us yet...I wonder if Erza is awake?
I heard soft sobs. That answers my question.
"Erza?" Ok so it doesn't hurt to talk anymore.
"Je-Jellal?!" She sat up in her bed. I slowly sat up, trying not to hurt my back.
"Erza! Thank god you are ok!" I sighed
"Jellal? Where are we?" She asked
"We are at the hospital. A car crashed into the bus we were on. You broke your foot, so be careful."
"O-okay...Are you ok?" She asked her voice full of worry
"I broke my hand. I'll be fine. We both are pretty beat up though. So don't move around too much."
Juvia's POV
I went around the the hospital with my crutches. I was all the in another section of the hospital when I saw Ava. Crap! Ava! She doesn't like me going around alone! I quickly turned around and was about to start going away until "What are you doing out of your room young lady?"
"Juvia is practicing" I said quickly
"I don't like you alone!" She said as she walked into a room
I followed her in "But Juvia is 16 now! She could technically drive!"
"Juvia! I am trying to take care of some patients! If you aren't going to help go back to your room! If you want to help...go...go get the IV set up for the patients. We need to change the medicine they are on. I taught you how to that right? Yeah I did! Ok so right now they both are using the medicine with the green lid. Change it to the blue one. Ok? Ok!" She said quickly
I went over to the table in between the two beds not looking at the patients. "Do you two need anything?" I asked
"No thank you" They both responded
"Ok!" I went over to where the medicine is hooked up to the little pipes that leads to the needle. I took out the other bottle of medicine and replaced it with the other bottle. I did it to the other one also.
"Ava-san!"
"Ok just go talk to the patients. They were in a car wreck. Go make them happy! You have that effect on people!" She said
"Ok." I went over where the two were laying but still never looked at them. I hate seeing people in pain so I just looked down at my useless feet. I pulled up the rolly chair and sat in front of the two beds, still looking at my useless feet.
"Juvia?" I heard someone ask
I look up to see the two patients are "Jellal?! Erza?!"
"J-Juvia?" Erza sat up. She has tear streaks going down her cheeks. Why was she crying?
"Hello Erza-san! Erza-san and Jellal-san were the two in the car wreck?!"
"Yeah...So Juvia why are you here?" Jellal asked
"J-Juvia?! J-Juvia is here b-because she was g-getting her legs checked!" I quickly lied
Natalie's POV
Where in earth is Erza and Jellal!? They went out to eat after work and haven't come back! And that was yesterday! Crap! Where are they? My daughter and my best worker! Where could they be?
I called Erza. It rang. And rang. And rang. "WHERE ARE THEY!?" I shouted in frustration
After another thirty minutes of pacing back and forth and calling people my phone rang. "Erza?! Are you ok!? Where are you?! What happened?! Do I need to pick you up!? I'm getting in the car right now!? Where are you?! Are you ok?! What happened!? Where have you been?!" I quickly shouted.
"Natalie. It's Jellal."
"Oh hi Jellal. WHERE ARE YOU!? WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?"
"Calm down Natalie. I'm sorry we didn't come back….we were on a bus and it um kinda crashed…..."
"ARE YOU OK!? YOU ARE AT THE HOSPITAL AREN'T YOU?! I'M COMING RIGHT NOW!"
"Yes that's where we are. "
"WILL YOU TWO BE OK!? WHAT ABOUT ERZA?! IS SHE OK?!"
"She will be ok."
"WILL BE?! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!"
"Well we both got hurt so she just needs to heal."
"WHAT HAPPENED!? JELLAL! STOP STALLING!"
"She broke her left ankle. She has two pretty bad cuts on her face. They might leave scars. She has a deep cut on her back. And also a cut on her stomach. They said it sounds really bad but she will be ok."
"...What about you? Are you ok?"
"I broke my left wrist and hand. There is a large, deep cut on my back. A deep cut on my right arm. A deep cut on my cheek. And something had went through my left leg."
"Will you be ok? I know you live with your brothers, will they be able to take care of you."
"I'm sure they will."
"Erza's phone is going to die I have to go."
"Ok...bye…."
I was crying now.
I rushed in my car trying to get to the hospital as fast as I could. Before I knew it a cop had stopped me.
"Ma'am blah blah blah speeding….." I didn't hear what he said all I know is that I was speeding
"I-I how much do I need to pay?! I just need to get to the hospital! My daughter and her best friend were in a car crash yesterday and I just found out! I need to get there! Please just tell me how much I need to pay!" I begged
"$50"
"Fine!" I quickly wrote a check handed it to him and drove off, making sure I wasn't speeding.
I finally make it to the hospital. I run up to the front desk. "Erza Scarlet! Jellal Fernandes!" I cried
"Room 413"
"Thanks!" I ran up four flights of stairs and finally made it to the room. I flung the door open and rushed in.
"Erza! Jellal!" I cried. I ran up to Erza and hugged her. She groaned in pain a bit but hugged back. "Erza! I'm so glad you are alive! I was so worried!"
"I-I was so scared Natalie…." She mumbled
I looked over at Jellal, he was sleeping, he was in a much more critical state than Erza. He didn't tell me this. A nurse walked in and asked "Are you their mother?"
"I'm Erza's mom and Jellal's boss." She nodded.
She told me everything else that Jellal had told me then started to go into further detail "Our first scan we didn't see how bad of a state Jellal is in. It turns out that other things had also pierced through his skin. There are multiple spots in his back and stomach. There are multiple in his leg. And only a few in his arm. He wouldn't be this bad if he wasn't in the position he was in."
"What position was he in?" I asked worriedly
"He was wrapped around your daughter. As if he was using his body as a shield to protect her. We went and looked at the bus. He is the only reason she is alive."
I looked over at the sleeping Jellal. He put his life on the line for Erza? Erza had also fallen asleep. Those poor kids. They went through so much. They must be exhausted and in pain.
"They can go home later today. We have done everything we can. We have prescribed some painkillers and some other things. They have to stay home from school for the nest while. And I have a question, does Erza happen to be blind? I didn't ask and I don't have and records on her."
"Yes, she is blind. And ok. Do you think I could maybe take them back now?"
"I guess. We have done everything we needed to do. Can you bring them back up later this week for a check up?"
"Yes, I can."
"Ok. Then they can leave whenever you are ready. Here let me get all the bottles labeled." She turned around and started writing on different bottles of medicine.
After about twenty minutes I woke up Erza and Jellal. "Erza. Jellal. I'm taking you back to our house, ok?" They both nodded.
The nurse put Erza in a wheelchair and gave me her crutches and took her down. I just supported Jellal as he walked.
"Hey Jellal"
"Yes Natalie?"
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"They told me that you protected Erza. When they found you it was as if you used your body as a shield around her. Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if she had died." I felt a couple tears go down my cheeks.
"No problem! If she had died I would have made myself believe that it was my fault. And I really like being her friend. It's also just the kind of person I am."
"Still thank you. Well let's get you in the car. When we get to my house we'll call your brothers. And I'm thinking, well is it okay if you stay with us until you are able to go to school again, because they have to go to work and I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone….."
"I'm sure they will be fine with that…."
"Here we are. You can sit in the front. Erza is in the back."
"Ok" He said as I helped him get into the front seat of his car
"N-Natalie?" Erza asked after about 15 minutes into our drive. "Yes, honey?" I replied. "H-How am I supposed to u-use crutches…...I mean I already trip and fall enough at-at school enough…..." She stumbled over her words. I wonder why she's so shy? She's never like this at home….What is making her like thi…...Jellal.
"I bet Jellal will help you…." I nudged Jellal when I said his name. "Wha- Oh yeah! I'll help you. Don't worry Erza! I can help! I don't know how we will get to the roof…..or gym….or reading…..they are all on different stories…. You know? We'll just figure it out! According to Natalie you are a strong girl." He said. It made Erza blush. Hmmmmmm? Erza…..Jellal….Blushing….Hmmmmm? They would be cute together…..I'll make this happen!
"Jellal. What's your brother's number?" I asked handing him the phone. "Oh here….This is Siegrain…." He typed the number in on my phone.
"Hello? Is this Siegrain?" Yes….Who is this? "This is Natalie. Jellal's boss." Oh no. What did he do? Is he fired? Do I need to come get him? "No! No! No! Not at all! He's my best worker! But it has nothing to do with work…He also did nothing wrong….So last night he went out to eat after work with my daughter, Erza-" All he talks about is Erza…. "They were on a bus and the bus…...the bus crashed. H-" IS HE OK!? WHERE IS HE? IS HE ALIVE!? "Yes he's alive….They both got pretty hurt….I'm sorry to say but he is hurt worst….He was trying to protect Erza...He will be fine, but this is what I'm wondering….Is it okay if he stays with us? He told me one of you are in college and the other works….I don't feel comfortable to have him stay alone all day and I don't want you guys to miss work or school, so what do you think?" I say that it's ok….Can you stop by sometime, to get his stuff and so we can see he's okay? "Yes We'll come now….Bye" Bye
"What did he say?" Jellal asked. "He said it's fine. We are going over to your house now to get you stuff and so they can see you."
"Natalie where is he going to sleep?" Erza asked. "Oh yeah! Crap! I didn't think of that! Ummm?" "He can stay in m-my r-room. I'll sleep in your bed with you since Jason isn't coming back for a couple months." "Okay Erza….Wait! Is your room clean?" "Hmmmmm? I don't know. Maybe. Probably. Yes. No. How should I know?!" She snapped. She doesn't like it when people ask her those kinds of questions. I forgot. "Sorry. I'll check." "Y-You don't have to I'll sleep on your couch!" Jellal quickly said. "Nope! You are hurt! In m-my r-room!" Erza shouted.
"We are here!" I shouted as we pulled up to an apartment complex. "Jellal!" Mystogan and Siegrain ran out of the complex. They all look exactly the same…..
Erza's POV
"N-Natalie? C-Can I get out with h-him?" I asked once I felt the car stopped moving. "Well I'm going in and I can't leave you in here by yourself so I guess you have to." She said as she opened my door. She helped me out of the car and propped me up on the crutches. "You are going to have to be extra careful now. I'm going to help Jellal. Okay?"
"O-Okay..." I said as I slowly went forwards on my crutches. "Here. Let me help." I heard a voice say. He sounds like Jellal. But I know he's not. "Oh right! You can't see who I am. I'm Jellal's brother, Mystogan." "H-Hi I'm Er-Erza"
"Yes. I know all about you. You are the only topic Jellal ever talks about." That comment made my face go red. I then heard Mystogan chuckle a bit. That made my face even hotter.
"Come on. Let's go in." He said and put his hand on my back guiding me to where I need to go. We reached a certain point and stopped. "Hmm? Stairs? I don't think you will be able to go up...will you?" I was about to say 'Of course I can!' but then I realized(or in Kenedi's case she realsized) "N-No….I can't..." I mumbled. "Here. Is it okay if I carry you up? If you don't want me to I' won't." "N-No, It's fine...I d-don't mind." I felt him pick me up and then carry my crutches. After what felt like ages we were at the top, he took me inside their apartment and set me down on a….couch, maybe?
"I'll be back, ok?" He said and I heard him walk away. I just sat there and listened to all the voices in the background. "Erza?" I heard Jellal say. "J-Jellal?" I stuttered. "Siegrain, Mystogan and Natalie are talking a LOT. Do you want something to drink? We will be here for a while." He laughed.
"U-Umm...S-sure. What d-do you have?" I asked. "We have tea, water, tea, and water and tea and water and did I mention tea?" I laughed at what he said "I'll t-take tea" I smiled. "Okay. I'll be right behind you. That's where the kitchen is."
"O-Okay." "Mystogan might be getting a job at our school soon. Something about a teacher can't continue having so many classes because he needs to focus on another thing at the school, or something. Hope he's not our teacher. No way I'm having my brother as a teacher." I giggled when he said that.
"I-I don't really know him so, I don't kn-know if he would be a good teacher or not…." Jellal immediately shouted "HE WOULD BE HORRIBLE!" I laughed at him. "Are you laughing at me?!" "Maybe!" I giggled.
"Wow. Your so nice" He teased, sarcastically. "Thank you!" I played along. We then both started laughing. He brought me my tea and sat down next to me. "So Jellal, What do your brothers do?" I asked
"Siegrain works for some company and Mystogan goes to college, well he is about to graduate, and owns a dojo. He teaches a bunch of different Martial Arts." He explained like it was the most boring thing in the world. "Really?!" I bet my eyes lit up when I said that. "Yeah...why?" he asked "I used to do a TON of Martial Arts when I was little. I loved it!" I squealed and fell over onto my side. Jellal laughed at me and said "I've never seen this side of you" I let out a little squeak of embarrassment and sat up.
"If you are that excited about it, I can have Mystogan teach you." "Wh-What!? How?! But I'm…." "I know. But I bet he can teach you" He reassured me "Well whenever your leg is better." "Oh yeah…."
"Jellal! Erza! Let's go!" Natalie shouted. I shakily got up using the crutches. I slowly made my way to where I think the door is. I heard Jellal. So that's where it is. I was going to go out until someone stopped me. "H-Hey?" I questioned. "Stairs." It was Mystogan "You can't go down the stairs. Let me help." I nodded.
After him carrying me down the stairs he led me to the truck. I got in the back and Jellal got in the front. They said their goodbyes. Then we started on our way home. "Natalie, what are we having for dinner? And where are Lesly and Andrew?"
"Crap." Natalie mumbled "Natalie?" I asked "CRAP!WE NEED TO GET HOME!" She shouted. "You left them there?!" I screamed. "Erza! Be quiet! I'm trying to drive!" She shouted back. "Well it's not my fault you left the kids at the house!" I snapped back. "Be quiet! I can't focus on driving when you are yelling!" She shouted. "You are yelling too!" I shouted.
"Erza please stop." Jellal said sternly before Natalie could say anything. Oh yeah. He's in the car…. I felt my face heat up. I just want to sink into the seat of the car, so no one can see me. I can feel him looking at me. I want to listen to music. I started feeling around for my phone. "Where is it?" I mumbled, frantically patting myself down trying to find it.
"Erza, what's wrong?" Jellal asked "I-I can't find my phone" I mumbled. "Oh your phone? Here." He tossed it to me "I had it because I woke up before you in the hospital and Natalie called" "Th-thanks" I mumbled as I plugged my earbuds in.
I listened to my music and fell asleep. I didn't know we were home until Jellal opened the door I was sleeping on and I about fell out of the car, but he caught me right before I hit the ground. "Sorry Erza" He said. "I-It's fine." I said as I hopped on my crutches. He grabbed my arm. "Wh-What are you doing?" I stuttered. "Making sure you don't fall." His tone sounded like he was smiling. I really wish I could see him…. "J-Jellal?" "Yes?" "Never mind." I just wanted to hear his voice.
We got inside and we were sitting in my room. "Jellal? I-Is my r-room clean?" I asked "Yes. It's clean" I sighed in relief when he said that. "What t-time is it?" I asked "7pm" He said. "W-Well I'm going to get in the shower….umm….you can stay in here….I'll lock the door." I said as I felt around the wall for my bathroom. I finally found it, went in and locked the door.
Well that wasn't a very good ending…..But that was a long chapter! I'm going to try to make long chapters now! So yeah! Well I hope you like it! So the SAO thing will be next chapter! Byez!
