Changes

1.1

I wake up and squint at the bright white room around me. I hear the beeping sound of a heart monitor and see IV stands next to me. When I continue looking around, I see someone sleeping in a chair.

"Luke?"

It's Luke.

"Luke." I say louder. This causes him to shuffle and wake up.

"Alexis? Oh my god. Alexis." He gets up and comes over to my bed.

"Luke? Hi. What's going on?"

"Well, you went on a drive and got into an accident. You passed out and you've been out for a couple hours now. I came as soon as I got the call."

"Oh. Okay. Did he call Dylan? The man who called you?"

"Um, I think so. Dylan should be on his way..."

"Okay."

Then the door swings open.

"Oh my god Alexis!" Dylan almost yells as he catches his breath.

"Dylan. Oh my god hi..."

"Alexis, what happened?"

"I got into-" I cut myself off with two more people walking in the door, closing it behind them.

"Alexis, sweetie, what happened to you?" My mom says sweetly.

"Mom... What are you guys doing here. I just told him to call Luke and Dylan... Not you two..."

"I know... But Dylan got caught trying to leave and had to tell us and we got worried. Did your father tell you that we're getting back together?" Dylan rolls his eyes at the statement.

"Yep..." I say dryly.

My mom looks me up and down, her eyes landing on my arms.

"Alexis? What-"

"Oh cut the shit mum!" I raise my voice a bit and wince at the sharp pain below my ribs. Luke notices and lightly starts rubbing my back.

"You don't care that this happened to me. That's why I didn't call you. You said it yourself, you're no ones mother but Dylan's. And right now, I want it to stay that way. And I don't want Michael to have any part in my life anymore, and you know that. So please. Just leave. And stop faking your love towards me. Because why would this accident make your love for me any stronger when this just makes me more broken? Just leave mum... Just leave. Take him with you... Please..."

My mom looks shocked but gestures for Dylan to leave with her.

"What?! No! Not Dylan! Michael! Dylan's not leaving!" I wince again and try to hold in my tears. My mom and Michael leave the room, leaving me with two of my favorite boys.

"Alexis... What happened to you?"

"I don't really remember much... I remember waking up from a bad dream and going to get water in the middle of the night. I went back to bed and had the same dream. So I went outside to get some air and went on a drive. I remember swerving and headlights... A man asking me questions, then darkness..."

None of them say anything... Just look at me blankly...

"Are you okay?" Dylan asks after a couple silent seconds.

I nod.

"Okay... Well nice to see you again Luke. I just hate how it had to be like this..."

"Yeah... I know..."

They hold a casual conversation for a few minutes before the nurse comes in.

"Hello Alexis. I'm doctor Carter. I'm your nurse for your stay here. How are you feeling?"
