I tried to roll over, but something was preventing me from doing so. I heard whispers. Who the crap is that? Can’t they let me get some sleep? My mind suddenly goes into overdrive trying to catch myself up. I shoot straight up. I look around the room frantically and it isn’t my bedroom. “Mom who the crap is everybody?” I ask looking over at my mother. This is so strange. “Sweetie just relax. You are fine.” She says calmly. Why on earth wouldn’t I be fine? I raise my arm to scratch my head and feel a bit of resistance. I look at myself and I have tubes and crap all attached to me. Am I in a freaking hospital? “Mom are we in a hospital?” I ask looking over at her. She nods and I look around the rest of the room. A doctor comes in and smiles at me. “Well it’s nice to see you awake” he comments to me before messing around with the tubes and junk. “When can I leave?” I ask my mother. I am aggravated. Why on earth am I here? Mother said I was fine. “You will be home soon enough. Tell me what the last thing you remember is” The doctor says coming over to me. “Luke and I had just come back to the hotel from shopping. Where’s Luke?” I say suddenly remembering him. “Luke is fine sweetie” my mother said in her annoyingly calm voice. She is talking to me like I am a three year old or something. I didn’t ask if he was fine. I asked where he was. “Yeah but where is he?” I said annoyed. “He is back at the hotel room gathering up his stuff along with yours.” She replied. “Mom what are you even doing here?” I ask realizing that she should be in Australia right now. “Look don’t worry okay. Everybody is fine and all you need to think about now is getting better.” She says brushing my hair back behind my ears. “Getting better? Mom what happened to me?” I ask not really wanting to know the truth.
“Well from what I’ve gathered from everybody is that once you found about Andrew being held hostage you and Luke decided to come here back to America. You went and made a plan with Mr. Dunham to get abducted and lead them to the place where you and your brother would be held hostage. You were then taken and led back to the main headquarters of the enemy. You called Mr. Dunham telling him that you had arrived and that Andrew was there also. They then relocated you away from Andrew to the middle of nowhere. Does any of this sound familiar?” Mother explained. I played it all back in my head and it started slowly clicking. “Then they took my phone tied me up then hit my head and that is all I can remember.” I said finishing up my side of the story. “Yes they knocked you out. The team split up to the first location that you called from and to the location you were knocked out at. They successfully regained Andrew and some important information from the main base. Once the team reached you they rushed you back to the hospital. You lost a lot of blood and they thought you might have serious brain damage. The doctors said that your memory may be spotty and that you would likely have frequent fainting spells for the rest of your life.” She explained. “Where is Andrew?” I asked. I really wanted to see him. “He got shot in the leg, but he is fine now and he is with your father getting some food.” She replied. “Can I leave?” I asked as tears ran down my face. I just wanted to be home and I wanted everything to be back to normal. “Not yet sweetie, but soon” she said caressing my face. “So what happened to my phone?” I asked wanting to post on social networking and tell everybody that I am alive or something. “They kind of destroyed your old phone, but the good news is that Mr. Dunham hooked you up with the newest version of iPhone and had all of your stuff restored from your old phone.” She said smiling. “Can I have it?” I asked impatiently. “How about once we get you out of here” she said. I let out a groan and felt a pain in my head. “Please” I say begging her. She sighed and passed me the new phone. I ran my fingers along it and looked at it in awe. It was pretty nice. ‘I’m awake and want to be social’ I type into my phone before sending it to Andrew and Luke. I wanted to see them both very bad.
