Merlin groans as he opens his eyes to a blinding bright light making him close them just as fast. He brings his hands up to his eyes and rubs them hard before slowly opening his eyes again and looking around the room confused as to where he is and what happened.

He looks over to see a girl with blonde hair in a messy bun and her eyes closed as she sleeps in a chair. A chair that doesn't even look comfy.

He looks around a notices he's in the hospital and everything comes crashing down on him and he gasps, looking around quickly and grabs one of the pillows from behind his head and chucks it at the girl in the chair to wake her up, not caring if this is the only sleep she's gotten.

She slowly wakes up and blinks her blue eyes slowly and her gaze goes to Merlin as a huge grin makes its way onto her face and he now notices the stitches on her forehead and frowns.

"Merlin, oh thank god you're awake. Nurses have been coming and going in here for the past few days checking on you and wondering when or even if you were going to wake up. I knew you'd wake up because, well you're you." She says shrugging before jumping off the chair and rushing over to him as she throws her arms around him and he smiles as he hugs her back awkwardly with all the wires and stuff attached to him.

"Holly," he asks as she pulls away. "Um how am I here? Like, I'm not suppose to even exist." He says and she shrugs her shoulders.

"Beats me. I have no idea honestly." She says and Merlin frowns remembering.

"Where's Arthur?" He asks and she chuckles. "I'm not sure why you're chuckling, you could have gotten us killed Holly." He says frowning and she frowns and looks down at her lap.

"I didn't mean to. The light turned green and I was just pulling up to go when some idiot hit us from the side sending us flying." She explains and Merlin frowns.

Now he feels like an ass for yelling at her. "I'm sorry Holly." He says and she looks away and wipes a tear that's escaped.

"Yeah well. It's fine now." She says and just as she says that a nurse walks in and stops in her tracks when's she looks at Merlin before turning back around and rushing out of the room as she sees Merlin is now awake.

"Well that wasn't weird." He says.

Holly only chuckles. "Remember what I said, they didn't even expect you to wake up." She says and he joins her chuckling.

"Where are we anyway?" He asks and she scrunches up her eyebrows thinking.

"Um I think it's called San Antonio Memorial? I'm not to sure though." She says shrugging and Merlin tries to rack his brain for the hospital but comes up blank.

"Yeah I got nothing." He says shaking his head and she just shrugs.

"Hey I'm going to go get some food from the cafe, I'll be back. The doctor should be coming any time now sense you're awake." Holly says and Merlin nods his head as she gets up and leaves, shutting the door behind her.

Merlin lets out a big sigh as he leans his head against his not so comfy pillow closing his eyes.

He doesn't look when the door opens and shuts in front him, knowing its either Holly or a random doctor.
