Forty

(a/n: be fed my children)

The memory blurred and I felt like I was falling again. And then my eyes snapped open. I was awake.

I didn't recognize my surroundings.

The place I was in smelled different and unfamiliar. Sterile and Clean.

I let my eyes adjust to the lighting and found that I was in a hospital bed.

There was beeping going on and I looked over to see my heart rate spiking on a monitor. I calmed down and looked to the side.

There was another bed next to me with Max in it. She was asleep and in a neck brace with bandages all over her face.

I tried to sit up but a voice next to me stopped me.

"Don't move, your wrist is broken," Nancy replied.

I turned to the other side of me to see Nancy, Eddie, Lucas and Erica sitting on some gray hospital chairs.

"How the hell did I break my wrist?" I asked. My voice sounded hoarse and strained.

"Well, we did carry you out of the Creel House but someone forgot to keep your hand out of harm's way," She eyed Eddie who gave a sheepish smile. "Anyway, your hand snapped backwards and I was way too drained to fix it. We figured we were going to the hospital anyway. You also got a few stitches on your side because there was still a lot of tearing," Nancy explained.

"Yeah, and then Eddie was sobbing like a little girl because your wrist snapped backwards and then he threw up and then when we came to the hospital, he got arrested and threw up even more. But it's all good now, he stopped crying like five minutes ago," Erica said.

Eddie glared. "I did not. It was at least an hour ago." His eyes were still very red and puffy so I trusted Erica's opinion more.

"Where are the boys and Robin?" I asked, looking around for Dustin, Robin, and Steve. Nancy and Eddie looked at each other. "Did something happen to them?"

"Well, Dustin is in a different room. He broke his ankle and fractured his leg," Nancy finally replied. I released a breath I didn't even know I was holding. "Steve and Robin are with him. Everything is sort of chaotic. The earthquake actually caused a lot of damage so Mrs. Henderson wasn't able to make it to the hospital. Everyone's fine though."

Nancy must have added that last part after she saw how my reaction changed.

"Are mom and Holly okay?" I asked.

"They're fine. I called home and Mom said they would try to come here in a few hours or so."

"Have you heard from Mike or the Byers?"

Nancy sighed. "No. Still radio silence. Dustin did suggest that El finally figured out how to explode things and the phone died but I told him that he lost her powers."

"Or maybe Will finally strangled Mike for being such an asshole to him," Lucas mumbled.

"Hey, you talking about us?" A voice from the doorway echoed into the hospital room.

Mike, Will, Jonathan, El and some guy with long hair stood in the doorway with silly grins on their faces.

"No way," Lucas said.

Nancy ran to Jonathan and dipped him down like a bride at a wedding, then kissed him.

"I'm gone for a few days and suddenly you need to be the center of attention?" Mike chuckled at me.

"What can I say? I finally wanted to be a superhero," I replied.

Lucas and Mike hugged each other and Erica nodded her head at Mike. Will did a little wave at Lucas but Lucas pulled him into the biggest and probably most rib crushing hug ever.
