Hope you enjoy the chapter! It is shorter than the last and I'm sorry for posting a bit later than I said I would.

Carrie's POV (it feels like forever)

---------------------------------------

It's rather weird. Even though I'm asleep or well not awake, as I had fainted a while ago, I can feel someone staring at me. Maybe I'm not just asleep or whatever, maybe I'm in a coma. No don't think like that Carrie! You're a blithering idiot!

"Hey um Carrie. I'm so sorry about well basically everything. I'm sorry about taking your first kiss and then treated it like it was nothing. I'm sorry about being an asshole. I'm sorry I let your mum let you believe that I was leaving. I'm sorry I didn't stop to check it was you on the side of the road. I'm sorry about everything. I wish it was me who is in that hospital bed right now," someone weeps. Wait that sounds like Mason! He grabs my hand, well I hope it's him, and I can feel a few tears drop onto my left arm. I try to move my hand and only my finger twitches. "Carrie?" I try with all my might to squeeze his hand and it works only for me to feel my well I guess consciousness slipping away again. "Oh my god you can hear me!" Yeah that's why I have ears dumbass! Wow I really wish I could say that right now.

I grasp onto my consciousness as tightly as possible and open my eyelids. I'm instantly blinded but it goes away after a minute. I look around to see Mason on my left and narrow my eyes at him. He looks a little shocked and suddenly I feel a stinging sensation in my hand. I look down at my hand then back up at Mason. I slightly see a red mark on his cheek and I mutter an apology.

"What was that for?" he asks, slightly dumbfounded.

"I'm not exactly sure," I shrug before wincing in pain.

"Are you ok?" he questions. Why is he so concerned? Oh right he wished it was him on this hospital bed! On another note, where the hell is my mum?! "Your mum is talking to the doc. Something about what's going to happen to you. I don't get why, he'll just come in here when you've woken up. Oh shit!" He presses a button on the left of me and breathes a sigh of relief. I just give him a confused look. "If you woke up I was supposed to press the button to make the nurses and doctor aware that you had gained consciousness." I nod with a small smile on my face.

A few minutes later my mum and a doctor walk into the room. "Great to see you awake Miss Mellows. Firstly we should take the breathing mask," the doctor pauses and only then do I realise I have a breathing mask on. Now I'm confused. He removes the mask and I break into a coughing fit. Shit this can't be good. He puts it back on and my coughing fit comes to a stop. "Ok maybe it's worse than we thought."

"Ok what's going on?" I ask. Right now I'm too confused and I need answers. First question, why the heck do I have a breathing mask on?

"Miss Mellows when you fell unconscious, something happened to your lungs. Don't panic or anything but you may have asthma. We're trying to figure out what caused this. So for now we're going to need that breathing mask on you. When we find out what's wrong, I'll be back to explain," the doctor answers and I nod. He leaves the room and when he comes back I hope he has good news.
