I'd Like to Trade my Sunglasses for a Tiara Please? *ON HOLD*

Chapter 7: Hospital

When I woke up I was in a room.  It had white walls, white ceilings, and white curtains.  Was I dead?  I couldn't be dead Michel just told me he loved me.  

I looked around and Daniel and Jake were beside me sleeping in chairs.  Good, I wasn't dead.  I sit up, and my head starts throbbing.  I reach up to try to settle it with both hands, but the spot was sensitive to the touch.  I make a hissing sound and that wakes up the two boys.

"What happened?"  Jake jumps up alarmed. Danny just yawns.

"Look who's finally up," Danny says smiling at me.  Jake looks over at me and they both engulf me in a huge hug.

"Dudes I can't breath!"  I screamed/laughed.  They both let me go and just smile.

"We're so glad you're ok, we thought you might never wake up,"  Danny said his eyes were saddened.

"What exactly happened?"  I looked at them both and their faces seemed to harden.

"Tell me what happened," I demanded again.

"Watch your tone," Danny said sternly.  He was also avoiding my question.

"Please tell me what happened yesterday,"  I assumed it was yesterday since they said I've been unconscious for a while.

"Yesterday? Baby girl you've been in here for four days."  Jakes looked at me.

"FOUR DAYS!!!!!"  I shouted.

"You were in a car accident,  someone tampered with the breaks and when the driver tried to stop at a stop sign, he kept going and ran into a bus."  Jake explained.

"Was anyone else hurt?" I asked mainly worried about Michel.

"No one from the bus was severely injured.  They were just shaken up real bad."  Danny started.

"And the limo driver was killed instantly,"  Jake said.

"What about Michel?" I asked scared of the answer.

"When they pulled you both out the car had caught on fire,  they said he was on top of you and protected you from most of the burns.  He's got serious third degree burns on his back, and he broke his leg.  They're keeping him unconscious until he's healed more."  Danny finally told me, and he seemed either mad or sad, maybe both.

"Can I see him?"

"Not until tomorrow.  You aren't suppose to leave the room until tomorrow, and they are taking him of the meds to keep him unconscious tonight, so he should be awake in the morning." Jake said to me sympathetically.

"Ok," I shrugged.

"I'm hungry," I stated.  Jake and Danny just looked at me and burst into laughter.

"What?"

"Only you would be in a car wreak and one of the first things on your mind is food," Danny said inbetween laughs.

"What would you like?" Jake asked.

"Um, can I get some of those steak and fries things, and a salad?" I asked with a smile.

"One steak frites with a salad, coming up," Jake said with a wink and walked out the door.  Me and Danny both laughed at his terrible attempt at French.

"So how are you feeling?"  Danny looked at me with sadness.

"Daniel I am fine, don't worry about me," I smiled.  I looked around my room to see what exactly was in it.  It was simple.  It has a bathroom and and sink.  There was two chairs, and of course my bed, and the machines I was hooked up to.

"How can I not worry about you Liz?  You are apart of me, and seeing you like that," his voice trailed off.

"You can start by thinking that I'm ok, and we'll be getting out of here soon and things can go back to normal." I said talking more to myself than him.  I want to see Michel so bad.

"I have a bad feeling about Michel," Danny broke the silence.

"What do you mean?  You liked him before, you even gave your approval for him to ask me out,"  I questioned with tears building up in my eyes.  Danny's approval meant a lot to me, and why does he have to change his mind now?

"I mean why would someone tamper his breaks, unless they want him dead.  And if that's the case what could be so important about him to want him dead, but then if there is something so important why hasn't he told you about it?"

Leave it to Danny to be so damn observant.  He has a point though, but I don't think Michel would keep something big from me.

"I . . . I don't know,"

Jake sticks his head in the door.  "Did someone order a steak frites with a salad?" He asked in a ridiculous french accent.

"No, I ordered ice cream, chips, cookies, candy, and a chocolate shake" I stated.

"Then I was way off," he comes in laughing.

"Yum" I said as he sits the plate on my lap and I dig in.

Later that night when Jake and Danny finally pass out on the chairs I sneak out.  Earlier today they unhooked me to all of the machines so it kind of worked out for me.  I get to the main desk, and about to ask the front lady where Michel's room is, but remember I don't know his last name.

I decide to just do some exploring and look for him.  When I reach the end of the hall I see two bigger looking guys standing in front of the door.

"Excuse me whose room is this?" I asked innocently.

"Its the Prince of France," the man on the right with lighter brown hair answers.

"Oh my goodness what happened to him?" Oh my goodness I'm staying in the same hospital as the Prince of France, that is sooooo cool!!!

"He was in a wreak in his limo, someone tampered with the breaks and it ran into a bus." The older looking guy on the left answered.

Oh dear that's terrible! Why would anyone . . . . . wait did he say his limo ran into a bus?

"Excuse me how long ago was this accident?"

"Um, I think about four days ago," the older guy answered again.

"WHAT!" I half shouted, about that time a women in a business suit walks out of the room.  When she looks up I see she looks exactly like Michel.  She sees me and I think I watched her go pale.

"Elizabeth?" She asks me, how the heck does this woman know my name?

"Y . . . yes ma'am?"

"Oh dear God, come inside child," she took my hand and led me into the room.  I thought she was about to have a panic attack.

"Excuse me miss, but what the heck is going on?"  Just as I said the words I heard a gasp.  I looked to the bed and there was Michel, his head was bandaged and i could see his left leg was in a cast. 

"Elizabeth, I can explain," He looked at me.  I couldn't believe he had kept this from me.

"Explain that you lied to me?  That you deceived me? When did you plan to tell me? Casually over dinner maybe?  Do you know how it feels to now know that everyone was staring at us, not because they just "know" you, but because you are their future leader and your hanging out with a random American girl.  I had to find out who you are from a bodyguard, and that made me realize I know nothing about you.  What else could you be keeping from me?  The entire country I'm sure knows who I am and that I've been with you and I had no idea who you were!!" The tears were coming now.

Before he had time to speak I ran out of the room, and into mine.  I started packing my clothes while crying and woke up Jake and Danny.  

"Take me back to the hotel NOW."
