Out Of Control

"If you want to talk about messed up.. Meet my life."

They move me off the gurney and onto a bed as we get into the operating room. They put a mask over my face and the rest is a blur. 

-----

I'm trying to open my eyes, but everything seems too bright.

"Come on. Wake up, please." I hear a voice telling me to wake up. Is this my imagination? Am I dead? I swear if I'm dead.

"She suffered a lot of blood. It may take a while for her to wake up." another voice says.

I start to try to open my eyes and I have to squint to be able to see. I look over to my right and I see Lark with his face in his hands. I slowly try to sit up and I say, "Hey, can one of you give me my phone? I need to call my sister" I say and Lark darts his head towards me. I notice that Chance is sitting right next to him. 

"Are you okay?" I hear Chance ask me, while he gets up. Lark gets up too, but he leaves the room. 

"Yeah, I'm fine but seriously you need to hand me my phone." I tell him with a serious expression and he gives me my phone.

I go ahead and dial her number, and after a minute she answers.

"Where the hell are you!" She yells towards me.

"I'm in the hospital. I'm fine, a dog just attacked me. I'm going to ask you to do something huge for me. I've been teaching you how to drive, and I think you're experienced enough. I need you to take my care and come here, okay?" I tell her, and she takes a minute to respond.

"Are you sure.. I mean I haven't had that much experience. I don't want to wreck your car." She tells me.

"Babe, you're going to need to learn how to do this sooner or later. It's not that long of a drive here, and you'll do great." I tell her, and she takes a big breath.

"Okay. I can do this." She says, and I hear her get up.

"Keep me on the phone incase anything happens, and you need me to help you out, okay?" and she agrees. 

I put myself on mute and I look over at Chance, and he's standing off to the side running his hands through his hair, the same way his brother does it.

"Come here." I tell him, as I scoot over, and pat down next to me.

"Are you sure?" He asks me, and I nod.

He comes over and sits. "What happened out there? Lark wouldn't tell me." He asks and his green eyes stare back into my own blue ones.

"Well, I got my leg torn apart." And I laugh, and he just keeps a serious face.

"Oh, come on. I'm at least trying to lighten the mood." I tell him, and he grabs me for a hug. 

"Damn it, don't do that again." He tells me, and I chuckle.

I take a look closer at my leg, and I see that my left leg, a little below the knee, is gone.

"Fuck!" I scream as the moment I see my leg gone, I start tearing up. "Damn it! Why the hell did this have to happen to me?!" 

"Hey, it's okay." He tells me, while grabbing me for a hug.

"You don't know that!" I scream at him, and start to cry out.

"Everything will be fine. I heard the options you have, and you'll be able to get a peg leg." He tells me, and I chuckle.

"Aye aye, capt'n" and I cry out one more time, before he pulls me off of him, puts his hands on my shoulders, and looks me in the eyes again.

He smirks before licking my cheek, and I smile. I stare back into his eyes, and I start to wonder how his lips would feel on mine. Before I had any other thought, Jen called for me.

"Thalia!" she calls for me on the phone.

"Hmm?" I ask.

"Okay, you were right. I was fine. I've made it to the hospital, and I don't think I can get in there without someone there with me."

I look at Chance, and he says, "I have an idea"

"What?"

"I'll just say she's my daughter. They hopefully won't question anything."

"Okay." and we explain the plan to Jen.

He leaves the room, and comes back in 5 minutes with Jen.

"Oh my, God!" I hear my sister yelp. "What happened to you! You said you were bit by a dog! Y-You forgot to mention your leg is gone." She says and comes over to me and hugs me.

"I'm fine really." I say to her, and a nurse comes in.

"Honey, you need to eat." She says, and Lark comes into the room, with a bag of food, and says, "I got it." and gives me, my sister, and his brother a burger.

"Well look who decided to show up." I say, and take a huge bite of my burger.

"You know, I'm sorry. That shouldn't of happened to you. I should've been the one to lose my leg. I could've taken it. I'm way bigger than you, and nothing is fair." He says, and I notice the bandages on his knuckles. 

"Damn it. Come here." And I look at his knuckles. I pull him in for a hug, and I look over to see Chance looking angry at us.

"I'm going to go get a drink. Be back in a minute." Chance tells us, and leaves.

I pull back, and I look over at Jen who is smirking and I raise an eyebrow at her and she shrugs.

-----

Later that night, Jen fell asleep on the couch. Lark went home, and Chance stayed. I soon said, "Come here, cutie." and I looked at Chance. "Come lay here with me." and I smile.

"Okay.." and he comes to lay down next to me. I pull the blanket over the both of us, and he puts his arms around me. "Good night." and I peck his cheek and fall asleep in his arms.
