Chapter 16- The Hospital

"Mhmm.." I mumble.

I was waking up and my head hurt like hell and I have a big pain in my left leg. I still couldn't open my eyes since the bright light was on top of me and it would only give me more of a headache. The only thing I remember right now is the car crash with Jake, getting in an ambulance, going into the hospital, and holding Jake's hands.

The big question right now is:

Am I alive or am I in heaven?

After some moments of trying to find the answer, I finally open my eyes to see I am in a hospital room with a lot of machines around me and a needle on my wrist that was giving me some sort of medication. I have multiple bruises and cuts, some were small and others are so big they were stitched

. Then, I see my mom sleeping on a blue cushioned chair in the corner next to the door. I try get up to get into a sitting position but a major pain increases on my right leg. I scream in pain and lay down. My mom jumps off the chair, shocked I was awake.

"Honey!" She said crying and coming to my bed to hug me tightly.

"Mom, it hurts" I said and she loosen the hug. We stayed like that until she let go of me.

"Are okay? Do you need anything?" she said, clearing up the tears falling with a smile.

"Where is Jake?" I said, tears threatening to come out. The only thing I could think about when I asked was:

Please don't be dead, please don't be dead!

I bit my lip to stop myself from crying in front of my mom. My mom looks down at the floor and then back at me. Oh no....

"He is okay, a few broken bones but..." she said.

"But?"

"He is in coma" she answered

I scream in pain and start to cry violently. Why him?! My heart began to hurt, like it was literally breaking in two pieces. Why does this happen to me?! I block myself from getting in love until I meet Jacob and he turned out to be a jerk and now I meet the love of my life and he may never wake up.

All of a sudden, my horrible thoughts were interrupted when Valentina enters with red and puffy eyes from crying.

"Emma!" She shouts and runs over to me and hugs me tightly.

"Hi Vale.." I said, sniffing.

"Look at me, Jake is gonna be fine okay? We need to have hope and pray for him. Now, what do you wanna do? Are you hungry, thirsty?" she asked, trying to act as happy and positive as she can be.

I know she just pasted through a bug pile of misery. Both of her only friends ever  almost died at the same time. I am just impressed on how she is holding up because if I was her, I would probably be laying in bed, crying my eyes out until I completely dehydrate.

"I wanna see Jake so can you help me get up?" I said with a small smile.

She smiles back weakly and turns to my mom. My mom whispers something to her and she frowns.

"What is it?" I ask, worried. Why is all the whispering about?

Valentina walks back to the bed and sighs. She lifts up the blanket I was covered with to show me that I have a cast on my left leg, from under the knee to the tip of my thumb.

"Your left leg is broken...and you need to use a wheelchair for 6 weeks until you can rest weight on it again" mom said.

"But when I heal I would be able to run again? As a sport that is" I asked, obviously worried about the only sport I know how to do and that I deeply love. I would not be able to walk for a month and a half, at least I need to ensure my future.
