Once again I woke up lying on a white bed, the sheets had been changed, in a white room, but this time the curtain was pulled back and Sidney was sitting on the bed talking to the doctor while Claire was putting stuff back on cart and cleaning it.
“Hey, she’s awake.” Sidney said. The doctor stopped asking Sidney questions and turned to look at me.
“Well hello there. I’m Dr. Carter Cole. Do you have any questions to ask me?” Dr. Cole asked as he walked over to my bed.
“Yes, why am I here and what happened to my back? Why was I bleeding so much and how did I start to bleed all I did was sit up?” I asked anxiously, but this time I didn’t try to sit up.
“The answer to your first question is that you were terribly hurt in a car collision and nearly missed death, but sadly your parents didn’t. So far we haven’t figured out where you are going to live yet. Your back started bleeding because we didn’t see how badly the cut on your back was, and when you tried to sit up you disturbed the wound enough that it opened and started to bleed. Oh and you can sit up just don’t try to walk just yet, ok?” Dr. Cole said.
“Ok. Wait, are you saying that my parents are dead?” I asked trying hard to keep the tears from coming out.
I could see sorrow in his eyes as he said, “Yes, I’m so very sorry for your loss.” I broke out sobbing covering my eyes with my hands as I did. Dr. Cole patted me on the back then left whispering to Claire to comfort me because he had to go tend to another situation. Claire walked over to me and sat on the side of the bed while putting an arm around my shoulder saying that it’s going to be ok. After about five minutes of strait crying I finally ran out, and Claire got up and asked, “Do you want anything to drink or eat?”
“Yes I would. I would like some apple juice and a grilled cheese” I answered.
"OK." Claire said
“WHAT! I didn’t know we were allowed to order here. I was just given food and told to eat it can I have some apple juice and a grilled cheese too?” Sidney asked a little mad and excited at the same time.
“Oh, I guess you could. I’ll be right back with your food.” Claire said as she walked out of the room. I finally got to look at Sidney for the first time fully, but boy can I tell you. He was amazingly cute! I started to blush when he stood up and walked over to sit on my bed so he could talk without screaming.
“So what are you in here for?” I asked still blushing and hoping he wouldn’t notice.
“Your question sounds like I’m in jail.” Sidney said half laughing.
“Ha-ha, Sidney you are so funny.” I said half laughing.
“I’m here because I was training for hockey on my bike riding across the rode when the front bumper of a car collided with the back wheel of my bike. I’ve been here since this morning.” Sidney said.
“Wow, well I definitely beat your story. I mean my parents are dead and I almost died because I wanted to sit up.” I answered.
“Yea about that I was the one who killed your parents.” He answered blankly.
“What? How could you they were killed in the crash... Oh wait, you were the reason we crashed. Oh my gosh, you must be blaming yourself for everything” I said sadly.
“I do blame myself for everything. I mean I robbed a beautiful girl of her parents, and the rest of her normal life.” Sidney said starting to walk back to his side of the room.
“Wait, you shouldn’t blame yourself. My parents should have seen you they were to distracted arguing about whether it was right for me to get my own house.” I said blushing a little after what he had just said. Sidney was about to say something when Claire walked in with the food.
“Ok I'm back, get into your bed and pull your tray over.” She said as she closed the door. Sidney and I both pulled our trays over as Claire put of food on them. I ate vigorously and so did Sidney. It was like I hadn’t eaten in years. Claire stayed with us until we finished eating then took our plates.“Just push the button on the wall if you need anything else.” She said as she walked out of the door.
