In Another Life

Chapter 23: Mia

I hurt.

I open my eyes and regret it, not because of the pounding headache or the lack of painkillers in my system. Bright white light burns my eyeballs. I groan and cover my eyes.

I know for a fact that I've been in and out of sleep for the past while. I was only ever able to say a couple of words before falling back into the land of medically induced slumber. I know for certain I said the following things.

"Fuck me! Not again!" Upon looks at my right wrist that's broken again.
"Where's my car?"
"I want Victoria." And finally.
"I need a beeya."

I don't remember a lot of the accident. I know that it wasn't my fault. A big truck had ran a red light and right into my GTO Judge. My car flipped twice and stayed on the roof. I don't remember the cops or the fire trucks or ambulances.

There's laughs around the room and I move my hands.

"Christ, I must've hit my head pretty damn hard if I'm seeing ugly broads." I mumble and there's a few laughs.

"Break me why don't ya, Mouse?" CC mocks hurt and I smile.

"When did you guys get here?" I wonder.

"A couple days ago, you've been out cold for a while." Vicy speaks up and I look over to her.

"Well shit, you're not yelling at me yet!" I smirk. "LA has changed you."

"You're still an asshole." She smiles and I laugh.

"Damn proud of it to." I giggle.

"The nurse said you were asking about your car and swearing like a sailor." Bret speaks up.

"Has anyone heard about car?" I ask and they laugh.

"Totalled but your insurance is replacing it." Vicy said explains.

I look at my wrist and scowl. I've lost track on how many times I've broken it since I was eighteen.

"Shit! I have championships in a week." I frown.

"Guess you're not doing that." Bret pipes up and I half smile.

"Unless I cut this off." I smirk.

"Mia!" Vicy and CC say at once.

"Fine." I frown.

Well my family is back. This should be interesting.
