Everything's Alright

Chapter Seventeen

SARAH POV

My head was pounding. Everything was on fire. Something had happened. I was lying down in something extremely uncomfortable. I felt something around my neck but I couldn't lift my hand to feel it. I heard beeping, sirens, and someone was talking.

I opened my eyes a little. Everything was very blurry. I could make out a woman sitting next to me. She had her eyes fixed on something, but I couldn't see what.

I passed out.

I woke up again, but this time there were several people standing over me. They were wearing masks. Doctors? What had happened? I couldn't remember.

"It's all up to you, sweetie. You can either keep fighting or give up. It is entirely up to you." A calm voice said in my ear.

I tried to stay awake, but I was in too much pain.

This time, when I woke up, I was in something soft. I opened my eyes and found myself in a hospital bed. I grunted. Someone came into view.

Suzy.

"Oh, thank God!" She exclaimed. "Danny, go get Mark. She's awake."

There was the sound of a door opening and shutting. Several moments later it opened again. Mark came into my line of sight.

He looked like he hadn't slept in a long time. He was pale. His arm was in a cast. And his eyes were red and puffy. Had he been crying?

"Hey.." He seemed to whisper. He had been crying. "How are you?" He was running his hand through my hair and looking all over me, like he was trying to memorize every part of my face.

"I'm okay....what happened?" I asked.

"There was an accident...Some asshole was speeding and hit us. You almost...." He choked up and tears were in his eyes. I lifted my hand to his face and touched it.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"The accident was Friday. They finished with surgery on Saturday. So...about two days." He said.

"It's Monday?!"

"Yeah..." He looked sad.

"Help me up." I said, trying to lift myself.

"Here." He pressed a button on the side of my bed and my bed slowly lifted to an upright position. I saw that all of the Grumps were there, as well as Bob, Wade and Jack.

"They all came as soon as they found out." Make said.

"Suzy and Arin were still in our costumes for game night." Danny said with a smile.

"Oh, no. I was looking forward to that!" I said.

"Don't worry. We'll make it up some other time. First priority is getting you healthy and better." Suzy said.

I then looked down and saw the damage that had been done. My entire right arm was in a cast while my left arm was just bandaged. My right leg was also in a cast. I felt what appeared to have bandages wrapped around my torso.

"How bad was it...?" I looked at Mark.

"Really bad. There was a lot of blood...they almost lost you twice..." He wouldn't look at me. I gripped his hand reassuringly. He kissed it.

"Oh!" Suzy said suddenly. "Let's get a picture of you two. To show the world that you're alive."

"Yeah, we've been very vague on our videos and messages." Bob said.

Mark took out his phone and handed it to Suzy. The first picture was of the both of us looking at the camera. The second one, he was kissing my head. And the third was of us kissing each other.

Mark took his phone back and posted the picture on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook. He captioned it, "She's awake now. Thank you for your love and support."

I scooted over on my bed and patted next to me. He sat down and wrpaoed an arm around me. I snuggled next to him as best I could. I saw my phone on an nearby table. I grapped it and looked at Tumblr. My askbox was overflowing with wonderful messages from my followers saying that they were sending me love and a speedy recovery. I put out a thank you post.

There was a knock on the door. A nurse came in.

"Oh, good. You're awake. It's time to clean your bandages." She said. "Can I ask you all to please leave?"

They started to file out. Mark had gotten up. I grabbed his arm.

"Can he stay?" I asked. She nodded. He helped me sit up. "Close your eyes, Mark."

He didn't argue. He just helped sit up straight so that the nurse could undo my current bandages and rewrap the new ones. He lied me back down in my bed. The nurse left and everyone came back in.

"You should sleep. You need your rest." Mark said, running his hand through my probably disgusting hair.

"I've been asleep for two days, I think I'll be okay." I said, rolling my eyes.

"He's right, Sarah. You need your rest." Suzy said. Everyone else nodded.

"Okay..." I said, defeated. I closed my eyes and was out in seconds.
