Luna's Pov

"How is she?", I ask Cole on the phone.

" She is out of surgery now, but she hasn't regained conscious",

"What? Surgery?", I ask him, horrified.

" Yes! The knee of her right leg was severely fractured, so it needed the surgery urgently",

"What did Doctor say about her condition?",

" Doctor said there is nothing major to be worried about, except her severe knee fracture, but Luna the ankle of her same knee fractured leg is also broken, and the ankle of her other leg is also fractured, and also her right arm is fractured", he sighs.

" That's horrible! How did this happen to her, I mean, how did she meet with an accident",

" She was hit by a car while crossing the road, the person who hit her brought her to hospital",

"I really feel bad for", I tell him, and I mean it, I may have not liked Charlotte, but she doesn't deserve this.

" Yeah Me too Lu, Charlotte came to Seattle in hopes of a new start, but at the start of it, she was hit by a car. And now I don't know when she will be able to walk properly", he tells me, disheartened.

"Cole, don't worry, she will get better soon",

" I hope so", he sighs.

"How is her Mom? How is she holding up?",

" Not very good, she is all over the place, Char is her only child, and looking at her like this is very hard for her", I should have been there with Cole, he sounds so sad.

He continues, "Luna, I will not come home today because Char's Mom is not emotionally strong right now to be left alone",

" Yeah okay, I understand, I will see you too tomorrow, Bye I love you",

"Charlotte is conscious, you can meet her", I hear a woman's voice from the other end of the call.

" Luna Char is conscious", he tells me happily, "I will see you tomorrow", he hangs up the call without saying I love you.

Cole's Pov

I enter the hospital room, and I see Char lying on the bed her both legs are elevated, her right leg is in a long leg plaster cast, and the other one is in a short leg plaster cast. And Her right hand is in long arm plaster, and it is placed on a pillow. Her face is all bruised, the right side of her chick bone is covered with a white bandage. And there is also a soft collar around her neck.

Her eyes were closed, "Char", I call her name softly.

She opens her eyes," Co", she says slowly and tries to get up, but unable to get up, she winces in pain, "Ouch!".

" Don't try to get up, please",

"What happened to me?", she asks, looking at her elevated plaster-covered legs.

" You don't remember? You were hit by a car",

"The last thing I remember is crossing the road",

" You must have not seen the car approaching towards you",

"Maybe", she says, and sighs painfully, and closes her eyes.

After a minute, she opens her eyes and asks again in a slow voice," What are you doing here?",

"My number was on your emergency contact list, so they called me", I tell her with a smile, trying to soothe her pain with my smile.

" Oh! I forgot about that", she tells me.

Mrs. Williams Char's Mom comes, "Oh baby, I was so afraid about you, how are you feeling now?", she caresses Char's red hair and kisses her on the forehead.

" I am fine Mom", she tells, beaming a smile from her injured bruised face.

The doctor comes and asks, "Charlotte, how are you feeling",

" Fine, but I am feeling uncomfortable with this neck collar",

"Your neck is sprained, so you have to wear this neck collar for four weeks, so if you feel uncomfortable also you must not try to remove it, okay", Doctor tells her.

"Okay", she sighs.

" And now don't tier yourself by talking, your body needs a lot of rest to heal, so now rest, okay",

"Okay", Char says and closes her eyes.

The doctor walks out of the room, and I follow him behind.

"Doctor I need to talk to you", I tell him

" Yeah",

"Will Charlotte will ever be a walk properly?",

" Yes, she would but not very soon because her kneecap was severely fractured, so we had to perform surgery immediately, we put her broken bones back together with metal wires and screws. So, her knee will take nearly six months to heal, and maybe it will take her a year or more than a year to walk properly, but both her ankle features will heal in six to eight weeks, and also the fracture of her right arm", he tells me.

"Oh my God? a year?", I gasp.

" Yes, but don't worry with rest and physical therapy she will get well soon", Docter assures me.

"Okay", I nod and he leaves.

..................

" Mrs. Williams, Coffee", I hand her the coffee cup.

"Thank you so much, Cole, for everything, Charlotte is really lucky to have you as her friend", she tells me with a smile.

"Don't worry she will soon get better",

" Yeah, she will be, Cole it's 7 am, you were up all night, you should go home and take some rest",

"Okay", I look at Char she was sleeping peacefully. So I decide not to wake her up to say bye," take care of both of you, if you need anything, please do call me",

"Okay",

I say " bye", and I walk out of the room, and after walking a few steps I collide with someone, and without looking at the person with whom I collided I bent down towards the floor to grab papers which fell from her hands, I grab the paper and I look at it and I see on the paper it is written name: Alison Brown, Five weeks pregnant. I raise my head to look at the person with whom I collided and I see Luna's Mom.
