Chapter 29: Hospital

*Claire's POV*

I woke up in a hospital bed. What the hell? I remember everything from earlier that day. Brooklyn beating me up and the sharp pain I felt while I got beat up, but I didn't think it would get me in a hospital.

I looked to my right and saw Ashton sleeping, his head resting on my neck and his hand in mine.

I saw Luke and Michael sleeping on a waiting chair in the corner and Calum sleeping with Chloe on his lap on the floor.. She was wide awake and on her phone.

"Chloe!" I whispered.

Her head whipped to me, her eyes opened widely.

"OMIGOD CLAIRE! FINALLY." she said getting off Calum's lap and walking up to me, hugging me like I was a glass doll or something.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked confused.

"Well Brooklyn-"

"No, I mean after I got beat up." It hurt to move, it really did.

"You blacked out." she said quietly. " We were so worried and we thought you were gonna die and -" she stopped.

"I didn't think it was that serious." I shrugged.

"The doctor said you have 2 broken ribs, a bad twisted ankle, you fractured your wrist, and you have a black eye. You have 1 broken finger and some cuts on your arms from the grass and stuff. No broken nose, though." she said. "I'm so sorry." she spoke quietly, giving me a hug.

My eyes opened widely at what she just told me, one of my eyes still a little swollen.

Our movement woke up Ashton.

"OMIGOD YOU'RE AWAKE!" Ash yelled a little too loudly, causing Luke, Cal, and Mike to wake up.

"CLAIRE!" they all yelled, running up to me and hugging me gently.

"How. Are. You. Feeling." Ash asked in between kisses on my forehead.

"I feel perfectly fine." I said distracted. I was still processing what Chloe just said to me.

"You sure?" Luke asked me, rubbing my arm softly.

"Mhm." I said quietly, looking at my lap.

"OMI FUCKING GOSH! CLAIRE! YOURE AWAKE!! MOM! DAD! DOCTOR WHATSYOURNAME! CLAIRE!" Lauren yelled down the hall.

My parents and a person wearing a white coat came in.

"Ms. Hunt! I am so glad you're awake. This is great!" the doctor said happily.

"How long was I out for?" I asked confused.

"5 hours, 28 minutes, 13 seconds." Ash said checking his phone.

I looked at him. He shrugged and kissed my nose.

"Exactly, Mr. Irwin." the doctor nodded.

"Claire! You gave us a heart attack!" said my mother, who kept kissing me on my face.

"Mom. I'm. Ok." I reassured her.

"Well, I was predicting a longer recovery time, but now that you are awake I see possibly 2 weeks in the hospital and an additional 1 week, home, in bed." The doctor said smiling.

I nodded and spoke in a really quiet voice, "What about Brooklyn?"

The room got quiet, Ashton was rubbing his thumb against my thigh softly.

Michael was the first one to speak. "The bitch is nowhere to be seen."

Everyone nodded in agreement.
