The Ocean That Brought Us close

Chapter 5: I Am Where?!

✪ CHAPTER 5 ✪ 

The sound of beeping woke me up from my slumber. A throbbing pain in my head giving me a massive headache. I groaned in pain, trying to open my eyes– there was a bright light piercing my eyes making me squint and blink profusely as they were stinging. 

Hearing a shuffling noise to my left, someone grabbed my hand, it was a rough callused hand that gently rubbed my palm.

"Hey, Jen are you awake?" I hear a voice ask.  It was a deep and husky voice which was very pleasant to my ear drums.

"Y...yeah" I said, my voice cracking.  My throat burned as I swallowed, feeling like sharp knives were running den my throat, which made me brining my hand to my throat massaging it softly. 

"Here, I have some water for you" I opened my eyes again and they adjusted quicker than last time I opened them not hurting them. I looked over to see mitchel handing me a cup of water. Reaching out I grabbed  the white cup and quickly and sculled it down soothing my saw and dry throat.

How are you feeling?" Mitchel asked gently as he grabbed the empty cup I was holding.

"Like shit" I sounded a little better when I spoke but it still had a little croak. Looking around me I found myself in an unrecognisable room that was all white with and I looked down to my arms and saw that I had  wires attached to me.

"Where am I?" I asked. Sitting myself up slowly. I am not in the hospital right? I asked myself.

"You're in the hospital. You took a great big punch which knocked you out and you nearly drowned " Mitchell said guiltily with a hint of worry in his voice. 

"WHAT?!!" I exclaimed loudly as I tried to get off the hospital bed. "You punched me I remember now!" I exclaimed as he pushed me back into bed.

I looked at him angrily. "I am truly sorry about that. But it is your fault for sticking your face into the middle of a fight.

I looked at him.  He had the biggest guilty look on his face ever.  I Chuffed loudly. " Well, you should have not been punching that stupid guy in the first place" I tried to explain. But he shook his head.

"He was trying to touch you inappropriately" he said.  I looked down.  He was right and he knew it too.

"But still. " I looked away from him and I huffed again. I wanted to get out of here, I hated the hospital. Turning my head to look at him, he had bags under his eyes, it looked like he stayed up all night. 

Suddenly the white door in the corner opened and a nurse and a doctor came striding in, the nurse holding a clip board to his body and the female doctor had a straight face as she walked over to me holding her stethoscope.  The nurse had scrubs on his feet with a green hair net on top of his head covering his hair. His blue eyes that were studying the clip board looked up at me and smiled a look of surprise written on his face. 

"Well, I wasn't expecting you to wake up any time soon, You had a bad hit." He said while scurrying around to the machinery next to the bed that was hooked up to may arms. He looked around checking my vitals and temperature and checked my head wound. 

"Can you please open your eyes for me please?" The female doctor asked as I did as she said, she shined a bright light into my eyes.

"You had a bad concussion so I would like for you to stay over for another night so I can check on you every hour or two to see how you are. We don't want you going into a coma, even though it is unlikely, we still need to keep you here for precautions" She exclaimed to me as I nodded feeling grumpy and tired as I didn't want to stay in the hospital for much longer. 

"Ok thank you Doc" Mitchel said as he reached over to shake her hand. Once he did, I looked over to see that she had a small blush on her face. I got a twinge of jealousy rolling in the pit of my stomach as I grumpily said thank you as well. She looked over at me and gave me a blank look and strutted out the door, her black louboutin heels clicking on the cold white tiles as she walked out with the smiling nurse behind her.

Finally, a da after the doctor came to visit me my father was notified and came to pick me up. The drive on the way home wad silent as I sat in the passenger seat as my father sighed loudly.

"Jen, were you at a party? Let alone a pool party with boys?" My father asked. I sat their glumly. Knowing he was right.  I have never done this before.  And knowing me.  I will never do this again.  I learn from my mistakes. That is one of the best qualities I possess. 

"I am sorry dad. I will never do it again. " I rasped out.  My throat still saw from swallowing the chlorine pool water when I nearly drowned. I flipped down the sun visor and nearly had the biggest shock of my life, the bottom of my left eye was swollen with a purple and yellow bruise and my lip was swollen and busted. I looked horrible. 

My father sighed again. I could see his stress lines on his forehead, they have becoming more prominent than usual, which suggests to me just how was stressed this situation.

"I understands honey.  I just don't want you to get seriously hurt." He exclaimed to me as he stopped at a red light. He turned his head to me. His blue ears displaying worry and disappointment.

"I know dad, well thank god I am not seriously hurt" I tried to explain to him.  But he shook his head.

" I don't want this to happen again. Okay Jen?" He said lastly. I all but shrugged. He looked like he was about to say so something else when someone from behind honked us to alert us that the light turned green.

Dad pressed on the accelerator again and of we went down three street.  Clicking the right blinker we turned onto our street and pulled into our drive way. 

He turned his head to look at me. I could see that he was saying that he didn't want this to occur again in this lifetime.  All I did was mood and we both exited the car.

I never really see my father as he travels a lot for his work, travelling to Germany and/or America each month for about a week. He never got a break. And sadly on his break he had to pick me up from the hospital as I was punched in the face by a boy because I stuck my stupid face into a fight, typical of me.
