Life's a rollercoster

9.

The ringing on his ears was unbearable. Feeling light as a feather, he could still feel the heaviness of his head and This awful beeping in his ears. Like if somebody was making a call right to his them.
Concentrate. Concentrate
Then- the smell. Rough, fulfilling the nose and head. Awful .
He tried to Open his eyes but failed.
Then- the touch. Cold hand on his face and the smell again. Nice This time.
...Hope. Hope You don't feel pain... the voice on his ears. Feminine.
...she's fine.they both are. Please wake up, they need You.
He tried to Open the eyes again. Managed to do IT half way and saw a beautiful brown-haired woman he knew somehow.
-Tim? Tim? Oh God. I'm going to call the doctor.- She ran quickly.
He closed them again and slip into a blisfull silence
-Tim? TIM! Look at me. Open your eyes at me. Tim. Now. Look.
He tried again and saw a blond haired guy bending over him with a small torch.
-He...head. my head-. His lips threw out the words Apart him, like out of nowhere.
-You were injured. Lie still. I'll bring sth for the pain. Now I want You to do some things for me.
-Water..can I..?
-Sure-. The lady came again and gave him some thru the straw.
-Ok. How many fingers do You see?
-Two.
-Now?
-Two.
-And now?
-Still two, Come on....
-Ok. Blink. Now move your head a bit.
Now your feet...now your hands.
Unbelievable. You're like a cat with 7 lives..geee.
-Is he ok?
-Yes Mrs WALSH, looks fine however we must conduct some tests
-Can I sit here?
-Yes. But not too long.
WALSH?? He thought. The name meant sth but his mind was still hazy.
-Tim?- He looked at her. -Do You remember who I AM?
-Will ..You be angry if I don't?
-No. But try.
-I know You...You must be family if you're here.
-once a CSI....Criminalist at hospital.
-So...WHO are You?
-I'm your wife's sister in law.
Wife's? I've got wife??? Yeah-he realized abruptly-I do... Courtney?
-Yeah. Courtney. What else do You remember?
-Baby in the car...my baby?
-Yes. Your daughter Ava.
-Crash....he hit us,...i couldnt do anything just to bend.
-Yes.
-But...where is She? Where...are they.
-At another hospital, calm down.
-Are they ok...Andre?
-Well, You finally figured IT out...nice!
Yes they are. Ava is just bruised and slightly injured,and Courtney is temporarily out od memory...but that will be fixed soon. It's a miracle you're alive..really, they don't want You there....
-Heh...Yeah. what's wrong with me?
-You've been unconscious for few days- they woke You up from induced Coma just in days. You surely don't look as handsome as usual with that stitches, but more heroic- She laughed out
-The nad thing is your hand. You will need rehab on that. It's broken. But believe me-it's nothing looking at your car. It's smashed, Tim. Nothing's left.
-Was IT my fault?
-No. Somebody hit You. And then- another. Don't think about it now.
Try to get some rest.
-When IT happened?
-Almost a week ago.
-What? What did Courtney say?
-She doesn't know Tim. The lack od her memory is very conveniant as we were afraid You may..You may not survive. Now were gonna tell her about You, ok?
-Yeah.
-Mr Speedle?can we talk?- The doc peeped in.
-I'm off. See You tomorrow'.
-Thanks Andre. Give my love to my little one.
-Sure. Bye, doctor.
The doc nodded and opened the files he brought.
-We need to talk about some facts. You obviously know your hand is broken. IT was restored and plastered and we consider IT would heal in few weeks.
Head trauma-as You see no damage to the brain,there was odaema in the process but was quickly cured. Now. The head. The stitches will be taken off in ten days, then- You can grow the hair longer and that won't be so visible. And the last thing. We found trace of Adderall in your blood. Will You tell me why?
-Because I was taking IT?
+Yeah, but why?
-I had IT prescribed.
-When and why exactly?
-I don't remember when.
-So- why?
-For the pain.
-But You must surely know it's a drug of restricted usage. IT cannot be taken for a long time.
-I know.
-So How long have You been taking them?
-Uhm .. I don't know, really.
-Everyday?
-I might have.
-Isn't that just...doping?
-If you put IT that way, IT sounds awful .
-IT Is awful. Aren't You the law enforcement?
-Yeah.
-And You were taking IT day by day?
-I...wasn't working these days.
-You weren't?
-No.I'm on suspension.
-And why is that if I may Ask?
-It's not What You think. It's because of internal case.
-Oh...whatever... I suggest stopping. Skip IT at all. IT may slow your actions and using a gun with Adderall is -sorry for me to say-completely irresponsible.
-I understand. I rarely use IT as I work at the crime lab. Thank You. Doc....
-Yeah?
-Was IT my fault? The accident.
-No. As far as I know its wasn't. You even couldn't prevent IT I assumed. But taking Adderall can cause IT next time.
-I'll remember. Thanks.
-Sure. See You tomorrow'.
Speed covered his face with his hands thinking What could happen to all of them few days back.
-Hi, can I ? -He saw smiling face off Horatio.
-Hi H. Sure.
