Kay's POV -

Pain.

That's all I felt when I woke up. My body was hurting so bad, & it felt like someone was constantly banging a sledge hammer on my head.

Looking around my surroundings, I notice that I was in a hospital room. Raising up slightly in the bed, I wince when a sharp pain shoots through my side.

"Be careful." A deep voice says from the corner of the room. 

Looking to where the voice came from, I notice Life sitting in one of the hospital chairs w/ a emotionless facial expression.

"Life, what are you doing here?" I ask him

"Life, what are you doing here?" I ask him. "Matter of fact, what am I doing here?" I frown, when I notice how scratchy & dry my throat was.

"You'n rememba what happened?" He asks me, handing me a glass of water.

"What happened when?" I ask, gulping the water down quickly.

"Think about it.. why you in hea & why you in so much pain." He says. "You rememba now?"

Thinking back, I finally realize why I'm here.

"T-that man ... he beat me" I mumble.

"you see what his face looked like?"

"N-no, he wore a mask." I say lowly.

Sighing, he rubs his hands over his face before speaking.

"How you feelin?" He asks me.

"Everything hurts." I groan. "Were you the only person that came to see me?"

"Nah.. ya dad came like 4 days, he left a couple hours ago tho he had to work. Dre & Nicki came to see you to."

"4 days? How long have I been in here?"

"Like a week." He says bluntly.

"A WEEK?" I exclaim.

"Yeah, you were in a 3 day coma from da many blows to ya head." He says, shaking his head.

"Yo-" I start to say, but get cut off from the door opening.

"Good afternoon Ms.Evans, i'm Doctor Morgan." A tall white man in scrubs enters.

"Good afternoon." I say lowly.

"I see your up, how do you feel?" He asks me, while checking my many bruises.

"I feel like crap." I mumble.
