I woke up an hour later with Liam's head on my stomach, making it so I have no way to get out of his hold. I was still naked, making me slightly worried that my mom was going to walk in at any moment. I hadn't really realized until now, but I haven't had time with her in a very long time, most of my days are spent with Liam.
I finally get out of his hold without waking him up, quickly putting on some clothes before going downstairs to see if my mom's home. "Mom?" I asked as I walked down the stairs.
"Yes Bailey?" I hear her voice and follow it into the living room, seeing her sitting on the couch.
I smile and sat down next to her, snuggling in closer with her, I feel like it's been forever since I cuddled with her. We ended up just talking like we usually do, saying whatever is on our minds; she tells me how the hospital is going and how the man in room 137 is still begging her to go on a date with him. I missed crazy stories about patients from her, I'm going to miss her so much when I go off to college at the end of the summer.
Liam eventually makes his way downstairs, he obviously just woke, pushing his hair back out of his face. He smiled down at the two of us before sitting down on the other couch. "How'd you sleep Liam?" I asked smirking.
"Oh just wonderful babe," he said making me blush, my mom tries to act like she didn't hear anything as she watches the TV. He smirks at me, knowing the effect he has on me.
A little while after my mom finally speaks, "what do you guys want for dinner? I was thinking of making lasagna, but I don't have everything I need."
"I'll run to the store quickly and get it for you," I say getting up to go get my shoes. Liam walks after me out into the entry way.
"Bailey I'll come with you."
"No, it's okay, I won't be long," I say kissing him on the lips quickly before going to get the list of stuff my mom needs.
I walk out to my car, driving towards Whole Foods, the sun was slowly setting, creating an orange Californian sky. I was about a quarter mile away from the store, when a car came out of nowhere, going super fast. It was too late to be able to get out of his way, when his car slammed into mine, causing me to black out momentarily.
The next thing I know, I wake up to a paramedic standing over me, strapping me into a stretcher to put me into the ambulance. My heart stopped for a second once I realized what had just happened. I don't think the young man noticed that I was awake as we rode the way to the hospital.
The first thing I noticed when we got there was how chaotic it was inside the building, causing my head to spin. Everything seemed normal, doctors calling out numbers of vital signs from patient, kids running around, until I saw Liam and my mom at the front desk looking for me. The hospital must have called my mom right away since they know us.
Off in the distance I could here my mom and Liam talking, "I should have gone with her, I don't know why I didn't even after she said she didn't need me there." Liam had a look of concern plastered on his face, it only broke my heart more.
Once he spotted me, him and my mother ran over to me, "Oh my god Bailey please tell me you're okay," Liam said, looking down at me.
I wanted to respond, but it felt as if my voice was ripped from me, I started to panic at the fact that I couldn't move either. "Wait, why are her eyes glossy and why can't she speak or move?"
My heart was racing, I wanted to tell Liam that I was going to be fine and that everything was going to be okay, but I can't, and it is heart breaking. The nurse looking at my vitals, started to speak to the others, causing a commotion between all of them, but I couldn't understand what she was saying. All I heard was "surgery" and saw that Liam's face dropped suddenly, watching me as they rolled me quickly towards the elevator. The last thing I remember is the nurse closing my eyes, causing me to slightly freak out, I have no control over my body and all I want right now is for Liam to be by my side.
The doctors gave me medicine, calming my entire body as they operated on my heart, I heard them mention something about me having a heart contusion. I don't know what that means in medical terms, but I do know that it means that they are operating on me for hours, making me wonder what Liam is doing right now.
I hope my mom and Liam are doing okay, I don't want them to worry too much about me, I will heal quickly and be okay. I finally feel like I'm able to "fall asleep," my brain stops racing with thoughts and I'm finally able to relax while everything is pain-free.
I wake up in a hospital room with Liam pacing back and forth in front of my bed and my mom sitting in the chair next to the bed holding my hand and bouncing her leg, passing the time. I look around the room, I'm hooked up to a couple machines, making sure I'm not on the verge of death, checking my heart rate and blood pressure and other things that I don't know what they are.
I tried to sit up a little, but it was no luck, I have absolutely no strength right now. My mom notices that I shifted a little and looks at my face, seeing that I'm awake with my eyes open. She gets Liam's attention as he comes rushing to my side. I smile at him, making him smile back, I missed his smile, he was all I could think about before I finally fell asleep.
He helped me sit up in the bed, sitting on the bed right next to me. I finally got curious enough and checked out the new bandage I was sporting over my heart, "Mom what did they actually do during the surgery?"
"They repaired the damaged blood vessels in your heart, during the crash, something must have pushed them against each other, causing them to burst. Your recovery for that should be a couple weeks, but I don't know how long your concussion will take to heal."
I stared at her, I didn't know that I got a concussion as well, I figured it was just my heart that was a problem. Liam looked at me with sympathy, I can tell that he would take this for himself instead of me if he could. I wish I could have had the chance to get out of that man's way. All I wanted was lasagna, god damn it.
Okay, thanks for reading guys! I have tomorrow off since the governor called a state of emergency, so I will most likely be writing tomorrow. I will say that the next couple chapters are kind of close to my heart with Bailey's concussion since I wrote this section a little after I has recovered from my concussion last year. I won't make it exactly like mine since mine was hell for 3 months. And no I wasn't in a car crash, nor did I have a heart contusion. Don't forget to comment and vote!
