Angela's POV
I got woken up by a knock on the door. I slowly open my eyes and take in my surroundings. Lilian's hugging my leg, she must've moved in her sleep she was always a wild sleeper.  I'm basically laying on top of Lucy, our legs out tangled together and her hair is in her face. Ms.Lopez, I hear the doctor say. Yea, I say as I slowly sit up. How are you feeling this morning, she asks. could be better, I say with a small smile. Well i pray so a safe and healthy rode to recovery, I'm gonna change your IV for you, she says. Thanks, I say with a smile. Has anyone informed you on the state of your injuries yet, she says as she puts the IV in my arm. All i know is i have an eating disorder, I say. Yes that's correct but you also have 2 broken ribs, a fractured hand, and a broken leg. You'll either have to have someone help you around or we can get you a wheelchair, the doctor says. Before i'm able to say anything Lucy speaks for me. I'll help her get around, Lucy's says putting her arm over her eyes to block out the light. That's not necessary I'll take the wheelchair, I say turning my attention back to the doctor.   No your not, you hate wheelchairs and i'm fine it carrying you around stop being stubborn, Lucy says as she sits up. Yes ma'ma, I say while laughing. When am I able to leave, I ask the doctor. Later on today we just have to put your casts on and you're free to go, she says with smile. Thank you, I say with a smile. The doctor leaves after about a good 3 minutes then I turn my attention to Lucy. Is he alive, I ask her.  Shit I forgot to ask give me a sec, she says as she gets out of the bed. Before she leaves the door I stop her, Luce you might want to fix your hair, I say while laughing. It looks that bad, she says running her finger through  her hair. It's really frizzy and you've got hair sticking up all over year head, I say laughing.  It's that bad, she says as she walks into the bathroom. It is bad, she says and I just laugh.

Lucy's POV
I go into the bathroom and look in the mirror, I really do look a mess. I take all my hair and move it to one side of my head before turning the water on. I drenched my hair in water before running my fingers through it. You could see some of my curls which i was surprised by I thought i would've had heat damage by now. I take some paper towels and pat my hair down trying to get some of the water out of it. I take my pinky finger and straighten my middle part up before I start braiding my hair to the side. As i'm braiding my hair i notice Angela watching me. I turn to face her, What is something wrong, I ask her just as I finish my hair. Nothing just watching, she says with a smile. Mhm is she always a deep sleeper, I say pointing to Lilian. Yea if i'm not waking her up for daycare she call sleep in all day, she says laughing. I laugh with her, I'll order breakfast once I get back, I say grabbing my phone and heading out the door.

Someone named Zach Smith got sent here last night for two GSW I need to know if he's alive or not, I say showing the front desk lady my badge. Okay give me one second please, she says typing in her computer. His surgery went well it's alive and in room 310, she says. Thank you l, I say before walking away. I walk into his room and see him sitting up watching tv. I go over and unplug the TV before turning my attention back to him, the hell did you do that for, he yells. You know you've got some nerve putting your hands on her thinking nothing gonna happen to you, I say. What and i'm supposed to be scared of you she got everything she deserved, he says laughing.  I start walking toward him until we're face to face, No but i'd be scared of what's gonna happened to you once you enter your jail cell, I bend down and whisper and his ear, You're a dead man walking. He then decides he wants to punch me which ends up busting my lip but I just laugh he then try's to punch me again put i catch his hand and I cuff him to the bed. Like i said dead man walking, I say before i leave the room. As i'm walking back to Angela's room a nurse stops me, do you want your lip checked out it's bleeding  pretty bad, she says. No it's fine thank you though, I say with a slight smile. I put my hand on my lip to stop the bleeding as I walk back into Angela's room. What the hell happened to your lip, Angela shouts. Nothing happened i'm fine and he's alive, I say before spitting blood out of my mouth. Lucy, Angela says but it cut off by my phone ringing. I answer it and put it on speaker since it's Grey.
