According to the doctor, I had suffered a massive head injury, bruised a couple things, and broken a few ribs. It took a few days, but Aleks came in a day after the surgery and fed me some ambrosia. The doctors were stunned. They were probably like "What the hell?! We can't be that awesome can we? ...Can we?" Little did they, or will ever know, is no, they weren't awesome in any way. They probably didn't know that though, which is ok I guess. As long as their patients are –ahem- smart demigods, they won't have to fear about ruining their rep.
My mom and dad visited me every day for two hours. They were extremely relieved that I was going to be ok. My mom was in tears when she saw me. She threw her arms around my neck, before remembering that I was in the hospital for a reason. They sat next to my bed and we exchanged stories about our week. Their stories went something like "Oh yeah, I wish you could have been there! Ryan was so excited we had to drag him away from the video game store, even though he's way too old for us to tell him what to do..." My stories went along the lines of "Oh yeah, and last week I kinda got ran over by a car. No big deal though right? Man, you should have been there!"
I think it was on a Wednesday that they discharged me. Aleks said that I had been in the hospital for about a week, and we were going somewhere where I'd be safe. Safe? I thought. There was nowhere in the world a demigod like me would be safe. Al must have noticed my distress, because he reached over and took my hand.
"It'll be ok. I promise." I gave him a look like Seriously? PFFT you make me laugh. He smiled and led me to his car, helping me in the front seat.
The car ride wasn't all that exciting. A few bumps and turns and such, but other than that, nothing special. I fell asleep a few times. Every time I did either traffic or a loud noise woke me up violently.
Once I finally got used to the movements of the car, I fell into a deep sleep that wouldn't be interrupted for a while.
