Just Say Sorry

Chapter 22

"Hey, I think she's waking up." Alec said as he looked up at Wren then back to Lydia. She was trying to open her eyes.

"Mom," She mumbled. Alec frowned at this.

"Lydia ? Can you hear me ?" He asked as he leaned closer to her.

It took minutes until she was fully awake, now she was looking around her, taking in her surroundings.

"Where am I ?" She asked, her eyes still searching the place.

"Lydia, I'm Dr.Miller." A doctor who was standing there the whole time took a step forward and introduced himself.

"You've had a car accident." He continued. "You remember that don't you ?" He asked.

"I did ?" Lydia asked as she looked at Wren. "Wren ? When did you change you haircut ?"

Wren gasped. "Um... seven months ago ?" She answered, unsure.

Alec stood there not understating what was happening. He watched as the doctor did some tests on Lydia then asked.

"Can you tell me today's date ?"

"Lydia," Alec blurted out of nowhere making everyones attention focus on him. Lydia turned her head slowly and looked up so she now had her gaze focused on Alec. "You know who I am don't you ?" He asked, then looked at her expectantly.

"Yeah sure," She immediately answered, her voice coming out weak.
Her answer made Alec smile sheepishly and it sent relief in him.

"You're my doctor." She added.

Alec was shook with these few words. He took a step backwards as his jaw fell open in disbelief. He was thinking that this situation felt familiar. He has seen it before but he couldn't quite remember when or where. Maybe it was a déja-vu ?

It was only a matter of two minutes until both Lydia and Wren burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing Wren. It makes my pain grow." Lydia said between laughs as she tried to hold back her laughter. "Gosh that never gets old.." She added,her face was now focused on the ceiling as she giggled.

"I can't ! Did you see his face ?" Wren asnwered as she wiped the tears that have escaped her eyes because of how hard she was laughing.

Alec looked between the two of them, dumbfounded.

"Oh come here my sweet little cupcake." Lydia said as she held her hand to Alec. He looked at it like it was some kind of a weapon then took it in hesitation.

"How did you two- but you just woke up ?"

"Actually I woke up a few minutes ago so Wren and I agreed to do this thing-"

"Torture me by making my heart drop or give me a heart attack ?" He said as he kneeled down so his face was on the same level as Lydia's.

"Well then I guess it worked !" Lydia said as she high fived Wren in victory.

"That's just so evil." Alec complained.

"I swear to God I felt like I was in The Vow." Wren giggled.

"Except you're not Channing Tatum," Lydia and Wren said in unison.

"Yeah I'm hotter." He answers confidently as he fixed the collar of his shirt.

"Sure, if it helps you sleep at night." Lydia snorted.

"I am !" Alec whined like a five year old boy.

"I've been serving in this hospital since twenty five years," the doctor - who has been watching the scene in interest - interrupted their small talk. "And I have never seen such a case." He added. That only made Wren and Lydia laugh again.
