Dylan looked at me, mumbled a soft "I'm so sorry..." and left the room. The eyes of the others following him as he left. "We should go check on him." Danny's voice sounded really concerned as he ran after Dylan, Jorel and Matt following behind closely. "He is overreacting." A sad look covert my face, but the sentence gave me Jordon's and George's full attention. "So you remember what happened?" Hope was sparkling in their eyes. Hope that my memories of them already returned. I softly shook my head. Their expressions dropped. "Well you're right anyway. It wasn't his fault at all, what happened is-" George started but was cut off by the doctor entering my room once more. "Alicia we're ready for the tests." I nodded and got up slowly. The doctor, Mister Field was his name, helped me and supported me while walking down the hall. I don't remember if he had told his name before or if I just read it on the ID hanging from his chest-pocket. He sat me down on a chair in another room. "We normally don't ask patients to move so shortly after an accident, but I'm convinced you are fine. Also the waiting room is overloaded right now. We don't need six nervous grown men pacing back and forth." He smiled softly as I chuckled. He went over different test and multiple papers with me. As I told him that I was getting really tired he told me that we were done anyway and guided me back to my room. I was even more exhausted than before, but my body moved more swiftly and easily. I felt a lot better knowing I really was okay.

Mister Fields helped me to climb into my bed and the nurse, Caroline as she told me then, placed the blanked on top of me. Mr Fields turned his attention over to the others that have again gattered in my room. "We will look over the test, but she's now really exhausted. We would offer you all to stay, but we can only allow two of you to stay in her room. The waiting room is full, so we would ask the other four to leave, but if you insist we, of course, will bring you there." George shook his head. "No, we'll leave. If you say she's alright and two get to stay, that's more than we could ask for. Thank you for everything." Mister Fields nodded his head and left the room. Jordon gently stroke my food through the blanket to get my attention. "Who do you want to stay? This must be weird for you since you don't remember, so you should choose." I tried hard to stay awake for a few more minutes. My voice was quiet and sounded sleepy as I answered. "Dylan if you can, I'd like you and Danny to stay. If you can't, I'll take Danny and Jorel." Through my half closed eyes I saw Danny nod and sit beside my bed. The others looked at Dylan. It looked like he had tears forming in his eyes, but maybe I also didn't see it clearly anymore. Anyway he shook his head and turned to leave, whispering yet another "I'm sorry." Caroline's eyes followed him down the hall. She tuned to me with a sad smile. "Then we'll see you in the morning, little one." Jordon said as he stroke my foot once more and stood up. George and Matt smiled at me. "Guys?" They turned their heads, already standing in the hall to look at me once more. "Tell him that it's alright." I smiled weakly as they nodded, waved and left. Jorel took the other chair and placed it beside Danny. "Now sleep. We'll stay here and watch over you." Jorel smiled softly. I closed my eyes. I mumbled the word "music" and Danny started humming a melody I loved. As my mind drifted off to sleep I remembered the song's name. 'Tragedy + Time'  by Rise Against. I smiled realizing I had got my first memory back.
