Eliza awoke in a daze, the bright lights stinging her eyes. She groaned and grunted as she tried to adjust her eyesight to the scene around her.

She looked around the room.

Familiar faces everywhere.

Angelica cried as she hugged her sister tightly.

"Eliza!!! You're awake!!" She exclaims happily.

Suddenly, another familiar face appears.

"Elizabeth........I'm so sorry.......this is my fault......I shouldn't have let you head out unsafe in weather like this.......I'm so sorry......" Y/N whispers slightly in a shaky voice.

Once Eliza has regained full consciousness, she uses what little strength she has to wipe Y/N's tears away.

"Y-Y/N......none of this is y-your f-fault.....I shouldn't have left so soon.......I should've waited for the storm to clear up like you said......" Eliza assures Y/N, who is now in tears.

Just then, the doctor enters the room.

"Hello miss Schuyler. I have some good news for you." The doctor states with lazy eyes but a caring smile.

"Y-Yes?" Eliza mutters out quietly.

"You will make a full recovery, but you will need assistance from a friend or family member to move around. You will have to use crutches until your leg fully heals. We suggest that you don't move around as to let the wound heal without any situations that may cause painful consequences." The doctor states, then walking over to Eliza's bed and attempting to hand her the forms. Eliza looks at you nervously, signaling that she's too weak to sign them. You nod and take the pen and forms. The doctor smiled and hovered over your shoulder as he pointed where to sign.

"Just sign here, here, and here, and your crutches and medicine with soon arrive."

With that, the doctor takes them out of the room and gives them to the accountant. (Or whatever they're called.)

"Elizabeth, since this is my fault I'll help you.....that is......if you want me to......" Y/N offers sadly.

"I would love that Y/N.......but won't you be too busy?"

"The only thing I really do is animate for kids cartoons." Y/N says giggling.

Y/N scratches the back of her neck and Eliza giggles with her.

"Well, if it won't be too hard or complicated then I suppose."

Y/N smiles at Eliza, and Eliza smiles back.

"Thank you Y/N."
