Lucy wakes up in the hospital with Angela by her side.
" Where is Tim? Is he Okay? What did I do?" Lucy says panicked.
" Lucy, Tim is in surgery for his leg. It got badly broken. He has a concussion as well but he's gonna be okay now listen to me, none of this was your fault. It could've happened to any of us." Angela says and squeezes her hand. The doctor comes in and walks over to Lucy.
" I'll let you guys talk. Celina and Nolan are coming soon so I'll bring them in when they get here." I think I'm going to get Angela says and walked out of the room.
" Lucy, you are so strong. We had to give you a hip surgery because you got impaled in the crash, so you'll have to use crutches to keep weight off of it." The doctor informed her.
" Thank you, and how long is recovery?" Lucy asks.
" You'll probably need the crutches a few weeks, some PT will be needed. So maybe back to work on low risk calls in a month? Before I leave, is there anybody would like us to contact?" The doctor asks Lucy.
" Uhm yeah actually, could you contact Caleb Wright please?" Lucy asks.
" Of course feel better Lucy"
"Thank you" Lucy says, forcing out a smile. A couple hours went by and Lucy's two best friends, Celina and Nolan had visited. Tim was out of surgery now and it went well. Lucy had talked to him for a few minutes before going back to her room to rest. Lucy wakes up to a knock on the door and Caleb walking in.
" Hey Lou, how are you feeling? I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, my boss wouldn't let me leave." Caleb says.
" Hey I'm doing okay, I'm tired and in pain but nothing I haven't felt before. I'm just glad you're here." She says, smiling.
" Me too, do you want me to pick you up any food?" Caleb asks her.
" Yes please, that would be nice. Can we get sushi?" She suggests.
"Of course! I'll be back in about an hour." He leaves to go get the sushi as Lucy takes a nap. Lucy wakes up a few minutes later to a knock on the door.
"Come in!" She called. She sees Tim hobble in on crutches. "Oh my God Tim, why aren't you resting? Also i'm so sorry i feel terrible." She says apologetically.
"Lucy stop. None of this was your fault. You were doing exactly as I told you. Okay? No more blaming yourself." He tells her.
"Yes sir. How long until you're back on the job?" She asks Tim.
"About a month, maybe a little longer.  The surgery will heal quickly then i'll need some physical therapy. You?"
"Same, i'll have to be on crutches as well to keep weight off my hip. Some P.T. but I should be good after that. " Lucy tells him. Lucy starts to feel lightheaded but doesn't say anything.
"I'm gonna walk around for a little bit, wanna come?" Tim asks her.
"Sorry, I'm not allow-" She starts mumbling and getting dizzy.
"Lucy? Chen! I need a nurse in here!" Tim yells as Caleb runs through the door.
"What happened?" The nurses and Caleb ask Tim.
"I- i don't know. We were talking and all the sudden it was just like she wasn't there anymore. Then she passed out." They hook Lucy up to an IV and shortly after she wakes up. they find out it was due to dehydration.
