Felicity POV

1 month after Breakup

Beep... Beep...Beep...Beep...

"The machines are so annoying" I think to myself as I lay in the not so comfortable hospital bed.

A nurse comes in and checks my vitals, She gives me a sad smile "How you feel Sweetie?"

My throat still hurts so my voice comes out raspy "Better than when I got here." She smiles at that I guess humor is a good sign. I remember the day I woke up in the hospital like it was yesterday.

Flashback: A week after the Breakup

A nurse walked though the cream colored curtains looked at me and she gasped in surprise. She rushes to the door and calls for the doctor. "Wonder how bad of a condition Liam left me in."

The doctor comes in a brunette woman with shoulder length hair "Hello I am Dr. Meredith Fell, do you know where you are?" She looked at me with great concern.

Realizing that it really hurts to talk but I get out one word "Hhh..os..pital".

Dr. Fell relaxed after a few minutes of asking me questions like if I know who I was, What year it was, What was the last thing I remember. I didn't tell her the whole story just that I was in a parking lot not about Liam or the fight. "Felicity do you remember how you got hurt?"

I looked at her best I could "Nn..noo." She wasn't buying it but she drop it for now, I'm guessing later she will ask again.

She turned to look at my charts and reads it over. "Wonder what it says, bet I feel worse than I really am."

Dr. Fell must be a mind reader cause she turns back to me "Felicity you have a concussion, several broken ribs sprained wrist also you have minor bruising on your legs, arms and face along with you ribs."

All I could think was "Great could it get any worse."

Dr. Fell continues "Also on the way here in the ambulance you..." She paused looking at me sad "...You suffered from a brain hemorrhage and you temporarily died..., You will have headaches and may have trouble talking also you may have sensitivity to light."

"Died! Did she just say I died! Of course I was wrong it got way worse." I looked at her as she went on but what side effects I may have due to the hemorrhage. But all I could think about was that I had die.

1 1/2 months after breakup

Sitting up against my white pillows I looked at my black touch screen phone "I want to call my parents, wonder if they are still worried about me I know they came to check in on me but they didn't stay very long" My parents never liked me keeping secrets like the one about me dating Liam a boy older than me when they found out they freaked. I got told to break up with him or get the hell out, Like the idiot I am I picked Liam. I losted my home had to live in my SUV. My parents ignored me all they could and keep my little brother away from me so I wouldn't ruin him like the bad in influence that I am.

My parents have always thought of me as a bad apple who was a mistake but not my older brother Zane who is a star student, and was Star football player in high school and now playing in college. When Zane isn't around the attention falls to my little brother Aiden who is in the 7th grade and a star student. I don't know being alone in this place "Maybe I am just lonely Zane would be here with me if he wasn't on summer vacation with his friend's." I think to myself looking out the window in my room.

2 Months after Breakup

Waking up to a lonely room waiting for the lights to stop hurting my eyes. Liam had gotten arrested but I just couldn't go through with pressing charges, " I am still letting him win, God damn it why am I like this." Sheriff Forbes did put in a restraining order against him so he can't come near me again. I guess it helps I can move on and not be scared of every little thing I do and how it might make Liam mad at me.

Dr. Fell says I could go home soon but home is my SUV and it's not as comfortable as one might think. I guess it wouldn't be bad to go home better than staying in the hospital. Also I could go back to work at the Grill luckily most of my bruises have healed up on my face I look normal again.

But the greatest news I got was Zane called he heard what happened and was so worried he was going to come home to be with me, but I didn't want him cut his vacation short for me. So I told him to stay he would see me when he got back. It didn't matter anyways I am usually in physical therapy must of the time.

2 1/2 months after Breakup

"Physical therapy sucks, I know it helps but it really frustrating." Lucky I am leaving in a few days I can't wait this place is driving me crazy. Dr. Fell say I have to take it easy and not push myself to much. So with the breakup and the whole hospital dying thing my parents have decide to let me move back home. But I have to follow the rules no boyfriends till I move out and I have to be home at 10pm, Also I only allowed to hang out with Aiden at home so not to corrupt him like I am I evil monster or something.


End of August Beginning of September 2010 Prank Night

Prank Night a rite of passage or so Caroline Forbes called it. Seniors do stupid shit to mark our last year at High school, All I hope is that we don't have to clean it up. Caroline gave everyone something to do I got a classroom to put mouse traps in. Everyone went to their places some got other classrooms, A group got the gym which they are fill with paper cups.

As we finally finish up our classrooms we were assigned. The other kids went off to help others I start walking down the hallway leading to the parking lot "Maybe I can leave now I did my part."

The hallway was empty till a tall dirty blonde guy turned down the hall he was handsome looked to be about early 20's I never seen him before. He look angry about something till he look over as I pass and smiled at me saying "Ello Love" in a beautiful English accent.

I blushed quietly saying "Hi" and hided my face "He really handsome, God I look like some stupid school girl blushing like that!" I quickly walking out the school doors to the parking lot trying to stop blushing.

Getting to my SUV I look around feeling this chill creep down my spine. "Maybe I am just tired I should get home before Mom and Dad get mad." I climb into my SUV starting the engine I put it in reverse I turn out of the parking spot. As I switch it to drive I pull off towards the main street but I saw someone across the street I couldn't see them well but the woman looked like "Wait that can't be right...She dead... Right...Vicki Donovan" blinking quickly I look back at her but she is gone, "Yeah I must have been seeing things." I say out loud to myself to try and comfort myself before turning on the road to head home.
