"Fang, Fang are you ok?" Sierra asks looking at me worry plain on her face.
"How long was I out?" I ask pushing myself off the hospital bed.
"Just a few seconds, what happened? You were muttering about me, and everyone else being dead."
"Dumb dream." I say shrugging.
"I know the kind, let's see if I can walk." Sierra says as I walk over to the other side of the bed. I help her up, and she skips to the other side of the room. "Yes, now you don't have to carry me out of here. That was really embarrassing, last night I mean."
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't about to leave you on the ground while I ran in for a wheelchair." I say holding out my hand for her. She takes it and pulls me over to her, kissing me deeply.
"Ahem." Says an unfamiliar voice. We step away from each other as the tall woman from last night walks into the room. "Hello Sierra, I am Dr. Corswin, I believe you know my son." She says looking at me distastefully.
"You're Tyler's mom?" I ask shocked.
"Yes, why do you look so surprised?"
"No reason really, you're just not what I pictured." I say shrugging.
"Anyway, when do I get out of here?" Sierra asks hearing the edge in my voice.
"After I make sure you're ok to leave. Felix isn't it, you may join your friends in the lobby, more of them just showed up." She says looking at me and crossing her arms behind her back.
"I'll meet you out there, thanks for staying with me." Sierra says squeezing my hand, and then pushing me off the bed.
I walk out of the room, and ask a nurse which way the waiting room is. She points me in the right direction, and I walk to the waiting room. As I walk into the room Josh, Scarlett, Danny, Miranda, Alex, and Claire jump out of their seats and walk quickly to me.
"Is Sierra ok?" Claire asks reaching me first. I wait until everyone is together, and say.
"She's fine, a doctor is having a look at her. As soon as she's cleared I'm taking her home."
"Ok, that's good to hear. How about you, have you been up all night playing at being Edward?" Miranda asks chuckling.
"Ha, ha no I stayed with her, but unlike certain fictitious characters I actually slept. Not well, and I kept waking up." I say cracking my neck.
We chat idly for a few minutes, before Sierra actually walks through the doors. The girls rush her, and I hang back waiting for them to check on her. She makes her way to me, answering questions, and shaking her head.
"It's wasn't that bad, Fang overreacted and blew it out of proportion." Sierra says sitting down beside me.
"Not really, with the amount you ingested, you could have gone into a coma." Josh says looking like he was doing a hard math question in his head.
"Oh, how would you know?" Sierra asks looking at him.
"I know how Fang makes his onigiri, and I've known for a long time that you're allergic to seafood, you were pretty lucky. Fang did exactly what he should have."
"Yeah except ask if she had food allergies." I say glumly. Sierra slaps me in the back of the head, and gives me a firm look.
"That was not your fault, if I hear you start that again, you can go to your movie night alone." As she finishes talking she walks out of the emergency room not waiting for the rest of us. Claire whistles loudly and places a hand on my shoulder.
