Shane

Something is beeping.

I blink, looking around the room.

I'm in the hospital.

My family is here, looking at me with worried eyes. Felicity's family is with her. She's nowhere to be seen.

I feel confused.

For a second, the last thing I remember is waking us this morning miserable over Felicity.

And then the memories come flooding back.

She was laughing. She was smiling.

I looked at her, and when I looked back, the semi was right there.

I lost consciousness.

I saw Felicity fly forward.

Oh my god.

I hear the beeping speed up.

I sit up.

"Felicity." I say. "Where is she? Is she okay? Oh god. Oh god." I start trying to get up. Mom calls for the doctor, my brothers pinning me down.

"Let me up. Let me up!"

Felicity

I cracked my head open. My doctor doesn't know why I was going crazy. He ran tests. They let me out and said he'd tell me when he got the results.

They didn't even admit me.

I got up to go eat. My mom insisted I eat.

I did, and I'm almost back to Shane's room.

They said he has a minor concussion but he's not allowed to drive.

I see nurses rushing into his room.

What's going on?

I changed clothes to just jeans and a white t-shirt. My hair is down.

I had to shower because I had blood everywhere.

I walk into the room, and he's trying to shove doctors away from him.

One of them stabs a needle into his arm.

A few seconds later, he goes limp.

"Why was he screaming?" One of the nurses breathes. "Who's Felicity?"

"His girlfriend." Mrs. Beckett says.

I took the wrong time to leave the room.

Mom took care of my credit card situation.

The nurses adjust him in his hospital bed.

Worried, I step all the way in.

"He woke up." Mom says. "He started screaming for you. They knocked him out. We didn't even get a chance to tell him where we were."

<><>

After a while, my doctor came in and called me out of the room.

I don't remember anything.

All I remember is laughing in the car with him and waking up without him.

I'm standing out in the hall and he's about to start talking to me, and I hear Shane's voice.

"Somebody better tell me where she is before I get knocked out again. I need to know right now."

They don't answer fast enough. He starts yelling again. Nurses rush back into the room.
