Chapter 13
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
I opened my eyes
Light
I squinted at the brightness hitting my dry eyes
“Quinn Kali” said a deep voice from somewhere beyond the light
“God?” I whispered hoarsely, my voice cracking from the lack of saliva slipping down my throat
The deep voice chuckled “No, I’m Dr Hanzet”
“Good, I’m not religious anyway” I croaked making him and other laugh
There was a light touch on my arm that turned into a sharp twist and I screamed, lurching off the table I was on until someone held me down
“Nurse anesthetic please” called the doctor
There was mask
“Just breathe Quinn”
I did
Then I was back in a pattern
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…

Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
“Broken Ribs…”
Darkness
Beep… Beep... Beep…
“Broken arm…”
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
“Slight Concussion…”
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
“Medication… “
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
“Sling…”
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
“2 months…”
Darkness
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Then Nothing

“Give me a break” called Brooklyn’s voice
“A break?” screamed Reece “You want a break?”
“Yes, Quinn chose to ride her bike, don’t yell at me-“
“I am yelling at you, you’re her friend, you’re meant to protect her and I get a call after my gig telling me that my fiancé is in hospital because she crashed her bike, I didn’t even know she had a bike”
“Then maybe you don’t know her as well as you should, maybe you shouldn’t be marrying her or taking care of her at all”
“Don’t you tell me how to work my relationship”
“Then where were you huh?” screamed Brooklyn “Where were you when she got angry and left work, when some girl was harassing her and calling her a whore because she’s chosen to be with you, when she needed someone to calm her down, you weren’t here and I was”
“And you happen to come with a warning, caution if you hang with me you might die”
“Enough” screamed Harry, the screeching of a chair stopping the older boy’s rivalry before either could continue “Quinn’s still asleep and you’re here yelling about whose fault it was, Quinn swerved to avoid hitting the dog because that’s the kind of person she is, she turned to hard, it was an accident now can you both shut up?”
There was a silence and a tension and I took this opportunity to cough and startle them all
“Quinn?” asked Reece, warm fingers taking hold of my cold hand “Quinn can you hear me?”
“Water” I coughed, eyes opening slightly to be met by a bright yet less intense light
“Here” said Brooklyn, a glass of cool water passed over me before a hand buried itself in my hair and tilted my head upright
Glass hit my lips and water was forced down my throat. It was then I noticed I couldn’t move my left arm and my middle was hurting. I was in pain
“Why do I hurt?” I asked when the glass was removed from my lips
“You crashed your bike” said Reece as my bed started to move upwards so I could see everyone. Reece on my right, Brooklyn on my left and Harry at the seat near the foot of my bed
“My bike?” I asked
Reece nodded “Swerved to avoid a dog, crashed into the wall”
“How bad am I hurt?”
“Broken arm” he said pointing to the car around my left arm that travelled from my elbow to my hand and wrapped in blue “3 broken ribs, a concussion and a slit to your collar bone, you’re going to scar”
I reached up with my free hand and touched the bandaged area trailing from my shoulder to my collar bone.
“A Scar?” I whispered
“You’re lucky” whispered Reece, brushing his hand over my forehead “I could have lost you Quinn, please never do this again without thinking about it”
I nodded, voice stuck in my throat
I almost lost you
“I almost died?” I whispered
The boys were quiet before Harry spoke up
“You’ve been asleep for 3 days, you gave into your coma when you crashed, they almost lost you on the way over here”
I gulped, breathe coming hard and tears started streaming down my face
“I almost died” I whispered, quiver in my voice
Reece kissed me quickly, placing kisses all over my face before leaning back “You’re okay Quinn, nothing’s going to hurt you”
I choked out a breath and a sob and sat back into the pillows, breathe coming so much harder than before
I almost died
I almost died
I sighed “Can I be alone, please?”
Brooklyn and Harry stood up, each kissing my cheek before walking out, only Reece remained
“I said can I be alone?” I asked again
“I’m not leaving you, not again Quinn”
“Please Reece, I don’t need the boyfriend speech right now, don’t try to be a gentleman, be a friend and get out”
“Quinn, I’m not leaving you, last time I did you almost died”
“I almost died because a bitch who decided to call herself your fan called me a whore and a bitch and a slut and embarrassed me in front of the girls who look up to you when I went to work the day you left and I stood up for us, do you know where that got me, it got me in a fucking hospital!” I shrieked, raging all my emotion right at him “I want to fight for us but I can’t fight for us if you won’t let me breathe!”
“I’ll leave you alone then” he whispered
He took a deep breath and let go of my hand before walking out.
I stared at the door as it slid shut and then I closed my eyes and cried
No more for tonight (Bre dont ask)
