New Girl (Luke Hemmings fanfic)

Chapter 16

*Luke's POV*

Ouch my head hurts like a...you know what.

Ugh everything is blurry and hurts. I'm not kidding when i say that every inch of me is in some form of pain. I don't even look human with all these pipes in me. I look like one of those sci-fi movies where they caught the alien and are doing tests on it. Can someone please tell me WHY IM IN THE FREAKING HOSPITAL!

I look around and find the remote, pressing the button to notify the nurse to come. I want to know whats going on. Almost instantly after i pressed the button a friendly looking lady came in smiling at me.

"Ah I'm glad to see you're finally awake. Let me just go call the doctor" she said and with that she left again. So much for getting an answer on why I'm here. The nurse returned with an old-ish man next to her, both smiling. "Good day, I'm glad to see you finally came to. Im doctor Samuels. You must be a little confused but don't worry, you are in good hands." he said and looked at me waiting for a responce. I just looked at him, of course I have a lot of questions but suddenly none of them came to mind. Doctor Samuels probably saw I was lost for words and continued to talk.

"Do you know why you are in the hospital Luke? ICU to be exact" he questioned me. "No, my head is all fuzzy and i can't really think straight" i admitted to him. "This is completely normal for a patient to feel this way especially after the knock you got. Don't panic your memory will be good as new in no time, just get some rest and everything will start coming back to you" he continued to explain. I just nodded. He then examined all the machines and told the nurse something in medical terms that I'll never understand.

"Right, I'll leave you in the capable hands of our nurses and them come check on you tomorrow again, then I'll tell you all the damages. I don't want to overload you with information right now. First get some rest and a clear mind so it's not 'fuzzy' anymore" doctor Samuels said and left.

After that the nurse asked if i needed anything and left. I slowly dozed of to sleep again.

I was woken by a shuffle next to my bed. It was the nurse but not the same one as before. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" she said while filling in some papers. "No, it's fine" I said and tried to sit upright.

I couldn't.

"You should take it slow, give yourself enough time to recover. There will be plenty of time for sitting upright, just not now" the nurse said in a friendly but stern tone.

I must say my head does feel so much better than before. It feels like it was foggy and the sun came out and took all the fog away and now everything is just crystal clear. The nurse left and after a few minutes the doctor came in.

"Hello Luke, I trust you feel better after those few days of rest?" He asked. Wait did he just say few days rest? I couldn't have slept that long, it's impossible. "What do you mean a few days doctor? I questioned. "Yes, you where out for a solid two days, sleeping like a log. That was exactly what your body needed. Your tests show that you are making a quick recovery. At this tempo you can be out of ICU and the hospital in no time. "Oh"

"As far as injuries go, you're lucky. You were hit by a car. You head hit the ground quite hard and you got a concussion. You were in a coma for about a week. As you can see you left arm is broken, and you have two cracked ribs. You also have a few scratches and bruises due to the impact and hitting the ground." The doctor told me, looking straight in my eyes. "Next time you should be more careful before crossing a road. You might not be so lucky next time Luke."

Everything started to come back to me and what happened that night. We where playing a show, I came out of the shower, the boys wanted to go out, Skyler was across the street, blinding lights and an awful sound, pain and then nothing.

All of a sudden I feel very numb. My head racing with thoughts, I need to get out. What about the shows we still have to play? Or rather had to play. My parents and the others must be so worried about me. All because I was stupid enough to not think before I reacted. Where is Skye? Is she okay? I'm pretty sure the scream I hear right before the blackness was hers.

"Calm down Luke, you can't do anything while you're in this state. Everything will be alright, just calm down and get the rest you need so you can recover fully" he must've seen my panicked state. I concentrated on my breathing and to calm down. He's right I can do nothing about anything now all I can do is rest and recover.

Easier said than done
