Chapter 15: WCKD Is Good

Next thing I knew, I was aching all over. My head was especially in pain.

I deeply breathed in and out, finding myself confused and disoriented.

As I opened my eyes, I found myself in a hospital bed.

What had happened again?

Oh yeah, Minho was a crazy son of a shuck and was speed driving so we crashed. In his defense, it was raining a lot and I understood he was angry and all after what happened with Newt and Dave, but...

Wait, Minho!

I searched the room with my glare, but I was alone.

I looked down to myself, and I was relieved to see I didn't seem too bad.

I had a few bruises over my arms and my whole body felt sore, as if I had done an extreme training and my strained muscles desperatedly told me I needed to rest.

Probably my whole body tensed up with the impact.

I tried to remember what exactly happened after we crashed. But I guess I passed out, because it was all blank.

The only thing I remembered was Minho placing an arm before me to protect me so I wouldn't be thrown forward by the force of the impact. Aw, Minho...

It still didn't quite work because the right side of my head, near my temple, hurt something awful. When I touched it, it felt warm and a little swollen. I had probably hit my head against the window.

All I knew was that my temple was throbbing and it was an unpleasant feeling.

Waiting for my numb body to awake, I looked at my sides. In the table at my right, I saw a little vase filled with daisies. It had to be Newt the one who brought them, and that made me smile.

He remembered.

I guess his anger vanished when he heard about the crash.

My headache got five times worse when someone started yelling outside my room.

"Newt?" I recognized that husky voice and its British accent, even if it didn't have a trace of its usual calmness because he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

My mind felt fuzzy as our current state made it all more complicated. The headache didn't help establish an order to my thoughts anyway.

I wondered how Newt would react when he saw me. How he would have reacted when he found out about the accident.

Wincing and moving very very slowly and gingerly, I got out of the bed to see what was happening. I tried to ignore the intense headache.

"I can't bloody believe it! It was your bugging fault, slinthead! You both could have been bugging killed, you bloody klunk-head!" He was fuming mad, so much that I could barely understand his accent because it got the thickest I've heard it.

A blurry memory of why Minho came pick me up in his car came to my head. And I recalled Newt yelling at me because of Dave. I never thought I'd see him angrier than that but there he was, shouting at someone.

"I said I'm sorry, okay?!" And that was Minho's voice.

I repeatedly blinked when everything got blurry for a moment as I stood on my feet. I leaned on the wall next to me and took a few seconds to recover.

The dizziness was really strong, but I pushed myself because I wanted to see if Minho was okay.

He couldn't be too bad if he was outside talking to Newt and bearing his accusations, though.
