"How is she?" said a voice heard over the sounds of a steady beeping heart monitor.

"Well, she acquired a few bruises and cuts all over her body; mainly the arms, the abdomen, a few on her thighs but-" another voice, an unfamiliar one, said but hesitated to continue.

"BUT WHAT?!?!"

"I highly suggest you calm down sir, it would require a level head in taking in these recent findings...."

"DON'T TELL ME TO-"

"Let him talk Mason..." another tired voice interrupted the stark-raging mad hulk of a person.

"Unfortunately, due from the accident, she received a hard blow to the head which caused us to believe that there might be the forming of blood clots in her brain, which was then proven to be true based on her cat scan. As you know, Blood Clotting is the forming and clustering of dried blood cells preventing blood to circulate throughout the body fluidly; but in her case, it would be almost life-threatening since the clotting is in her brain. If it continues to clot, her nervous system would be in danger and chances are, it could cause a temporary comatose, amnesia or worse, she might never make it out alive" the doctor said in a solemn voice.

"What can we do Doc?" Mason asked pleadingly, practically begging him to help.

Said person cleared his throat then said, "Well, I highly suggest the patient to undergo 'Burr Hole Drainage' but the procedure could not take place until the body recovers as well since it would lessen the chance of complete recovery."

"When will she wake up?" Laiken asked now standing beside his best friend.

"In due time Mr. Edwards; after all, she took quite a hit. If there's no more questions I'll take your leave then"the doctor then nodded to the them and said, "Gentlemen..." and proceeded to leave the room, closing the door behind him.

"Laiken"

"What?"

"Get my phone."

"A please would be nice..." he said teasingly, trying to lighten the mood.

If she was awake, she would be the one who'll try to lighten this dreary atmosphere.....he thought sadly but was interrupted from his thoughts by an annoying voice, who belongs to a person that goes by the name Mason. "Laiken, now!"

"Okay, okay....geez what crawled up your ass and died?"

"Who wouldn't be in a crappy mood in this crappy situation with a crappy person accompanying you while finding out that the person you love is currentl-" he then took a deep breath " just get the phone Laiken"

"Okay Mister Bossypants, your wish is my command...." he muttered while leaving the room to get Mason's briefcase by the waiting room which frankly, they forgot to bring with them when the doctor announced that 'they could see her now'.

Where is it, where is it? Crap, I don't see it! Mason's gonna be so- oh wait there it is.... phew!

Laiken then hurried back into the room and gave Mason his phone, but not before asking "Why anyway?"

" Because I'm gonna call him...."
