Alex woke up in a hospital bed, with his weeping mother holding onto the side of the bed. He wiggled his fingers and seemed okay. He cleared his throat and his mom looked up with a hopeful smile.
"You're awake, I'll get the doctor!" she rushed out of the room to the direction of voices. He looked at the white board under the tv. It was 3 days after his crash. Shit. He must be in a lot of fucking trouble.
His mom returned with his family doctor, Alex glared up at him. The doctor came with a nurse and let me tell you, she was fine. She leaned over and checked Alex' vitals and recorded data as the doctor spoke.
"Mr. Aldape, you are one lucky young man. You were in an automobile crash and you don't seem to have any injuries other than a few scratches and a large gash on your head. It seemed to have caused a minor concussion. I'm going to have to ask you a few question."
Alex proceeded to answer each question about himself, his age, date of birth, grade, and if he knew what happened.
Later on, a few of his friends came to visit. He was sitting with some of the boys and he turned on the news.
