Her phone never stops ringing as she paced the hallway.

Adeline never understood the irony of bright light, white wall and white coat. It wasn't comforting at all.

"Would you just answer it?" Paige groaned at the umpteenth times her phone rang. "It's fucking annoying, Adeline."

Sliding over the answer button, she placed the phone next to her ear. "What?"

"Well, hello to you too." A familiar female voice greeted annoyingly.

Before she could even reply, another male voice took over and shouted into the phone. "Where the fucking hell are you, Adeline Sage? I swear to God if you fucking runaway..."

"I'm at the hospital." She murmured quietly into the phone, cutting off the swearing spree rampage Brandon was going on about.

"Wait, what?" Jessalyn must have snatched the phone from Brandon. "Are you hurt?"

It was only at this point she realized the adrenaline burst must have worn off and the after effect of the whole situation was finally crashing on to her.

"It's Cyane."
