On the Edge of Love *on hold*

We are back

*Noah’s POV*

            Before I open my eyes I noticed a few things. There was a sharp medical smell. I could hear monitors, shuffling, and people. Then there was the pain I felt, my chest was tight and there was that distinct sharp pain that’s been there for days. My eyes slowly open and I see a doctor and two nurses in the room. They almost immediately notice and start to ask me questions.

            “Hello Noah, how are you?”

            “My chest hurts a lot actually.”

            “That is what I thought. Now, what is the last thing you remember?”

            “My girlfriend was coming over to my house and my chest was the worst it ever had been, so I went to get some pain medication and collapsed. Wait, where is my girlfriend? Is she ok?”

            “We spoke with her when she got here to ask what had happened, she seemed very shaken up, but I believe she is ok.”

            “Good. So why does my chest hurt?”

            “Well you have swelling in the lining of your lungs, making it painful to move your chest or breathe. This is can be caused by chest trauma, so we believe that the seat belt caused trauma in your crash. Now this may disappear by itself but we may also have to perform surgery. But it is looking like you might have to have surgery. In most cases it can be controlled with pain medication until it disappears but from what I hear medication isn’t helping.”

            “Yeah, it isn’t really. But, how will you know if I need the surgery or not?”

            “Well I am going to get one other doctors opinion, then let you know.”

            “Do any of my friends know what’s going on?”

            “No, nobody has talked to them yet.”

            “How long have they been waiting.”

            “I believe four hours.”

            “Can you send them in?”

            “Of course I can, I will be right back.”

            I get so annoyed by the doctors here, no one tells family or friends anything. Four freaking hours they waited to see if I was ok, and no one said anything. They might think I’m dead for god sakes. Its killing me waiting for them now, I can’t even start to think how they feel. Soon enough though everyone walks in. But the first person I see is Isabelle who rushes over to me. She leans down and wraps her arms around my neck and weeps into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her slightly pulling her so she sits on the bed. I rest my head on her should and quietly whispering trying to calm her down slightly. Her sobs die down to sniffles and hiccups before she lets go. When I look up I see everyone quietly talking except for Aiden. He is sitting staring at us with a slight smile.

            “Hi guys” I finally speak up and they all turn to me, Ciara is actually the first to speak up.

            “What the hell is wrong with you?” Her voice grows harder after every word.

            “W-what?”

            “What. Is. Wrong. With. You. What is so hard about the question, why are you here again.”

            “My... my lungs, I guess the lining is swollen due to trauma in the crash. The doctor left to get an opinion from another doctor.”
