Secret Protector

Chapter 12: Accidents Happen

" Hey, Jessica you okay" I was hearing a voice like Dales but I wasn't so sure. I saw on the ceiling nothing but white and blue. It smelt like a hospital to I turned my head to the right and saw Dale. So I was right, I was right, I was right it is Dale and I'm not going crazy so ha.

"Hey, why am I hear? what happened?" I was starting to think maybe I was crazy because the way Dale looked at me was like I was. "You don't remember? Do you?"

"No, not a thing"

"Well, you and your mom got into an accident and she flew out the window, and you got severely injured"

"Is she okay? how bad is she? I need to see her?" Right then I started to get up when the monitor started beeping. Dale pushed me back down lightly, trying to calm me down. "your mother will be alright, okay" he nodded to reassure himself. I didn't know what to do I felt helpless and lazy. I was starting to feel sore. " you injured your neck badly, so sorry Jessica I wanted to protect you and your mother but I didn't, I'm sorry" Dale said with the kindness of his heart I could feel what he felt.

______________3 days later________

For 3 day's I've been here waiting for news on my mother and so far nothing.

The door opens and Dale walks in "Hey Jess I've got a visitor for you and there eager to see you" Dale says grinning happily, in a way he acts like my father.

"Are you up to it" Dale says reaching for the door to the room.

"Uh, yeah sure" I say rubbing my eyes and I start to sit up. I then look at my reflection in the mirror as Dale walks out. I look horrid and disgusting I've got maybe a 3 inch cut across my cheek. It still looks fresh, then right as I fix my hair I notice a cut on my lip. Then I look at the rest of myself and see cuts and bruises. My right leg is wrapped up in a bandage and my wrist has a hard looking bandage too. My neck is red and blue and looks disgusting.

Right then the door opens and that beautiful angel called "Nate" walks through the door head down. I look away from him and put my head down and stare at my hands.

He walks over to me and in the corner of my eye sits in the seat beside my bed. For awhile we just sit and silence but soon is broken when he sighs.

"How bad is it" he says now looking at me intently.

"Don't know the doc said I might be better in a week I just need to heal up I, haven't heard anything about my mom yet and that worries me"

"I'm sure she's fine, Jess it'll be okay alright". I knew he was just trying to calm me down because we all knew what happened, and I saw it first hand she flew out the window. I knew she wasn't she was probably paralyzed.

"Well, I was thinking since we aren't able to go on a date, I'd make you one here". Nate had been meaning

I looked up at him and was twiddling with my fingers. "That'd be nice". I started smiling and he was grinning so wide.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow for our date but right now I need to go pick up something's for you" he was smiling like never before. But just before Nate walked out he planted a kiss on my forehead. "hope you feel better" and then just like that he was gone.

Nate is so sweet always trying to make me feel better and he cares for me. No really has ever been like that toward me.

___________1 hour later________

The doctor walks in and stands at the end of the bed. He sighs and puts his head down, he's now looking at his chart. "Jessica, I have some terrible news" he walks closer so now he staring down at me. "Your mother is......in a coma, now it's not to bad but it is a coma so she might be out in days, weeks, months, years but sure it won't get that bad".

I was shocked, startled even why does this have to happen to me. "so it's not to bad is it will she remember me".

"Maybe, it's a 50-50 chance and I'm sure she'll be out in a month"

At that the doctor walked out and left a note on my table.
