"Will she be alright?"
"I don't know for sure. We need to take a few more tests before we can do anything."
"But she-"
"No, she'll be fine. I promise you, we're doing everything we can."
I wake to the sound of muffled voices. The light makes me shut my eyes for a moment, then they open again, finally adjusted, and I look around. The ceiling was white. What a nice color... Is white a color? I can't think straight. Then I notice machinery around me. Machinery that is all too familiar.
I'm in a hospital.
I saw no one around me. I was alone in a hospital room. I don't like being alone. It's a fear of mine. And it began to show when my heart began to race in panic. The beeping increased in speed. I was shaking, trying to move my arms but I felt paralyzed to the spot. This must have attracted attention, because the door flew open and two nurses and a man came running in. The nurses went on either side of me while the man leaned over me and caressed my hair.
"Calm down, Lizz. I'm here..."
The nurses were doing something, but I didn't notice. I was too busy staring into two beautiful eyes. My mind decided to work again and I murmured, "Hi Will..."
Will breathed a sigh of relief and put his forehead against mine. "Oh, my God, Lizz. Don't scare me like that. You made me panic."
I chuckled, suddenly wincing from the pain in my stomach.
Will put a hand on my shoulder. "Try not to laugh. We can't have you upset your stomach. I'll be right back", he muttered. "I'm getting a water bottle for you."
He left, leaving me in between the nurses now. One was writing on a clipboard while the other was pressing buttons on a machine near my head.
That was when the memories hit like a land slide.
I remember being held in strong arms down a flight of stairs. Voices too muffled to hear what they were clearly saying. The memory switched to an ambulance, the guys sitting around me. But one was missing. I think Rhys wasn't there, but I'm not sure.
Will had come back and was now shaking my arm. "Stay with me, Lizz. Please try to stay awake."
What, did he think I was dying?
The nurses had left, I noticed, and that left just me and Will. I groaned. "Will, what... what happened to me while I was unconscious?"
Will pulled up a chair next to the bed and sat down in it, setting the water bottle down onto the bedside table. "When Lewis called 9-1-1, he wanted me to carry you to the ambulance. I told Razz to stay at the lodge and to pack everything until we get back. He wasn't happy with it, though."
I sighed angrily. "This had to happen now of all times! I hate bad coincidences!" I want to scream in fury. I never wanted this to happen. That tumor just had to come when I was enjoying myself for once. I gaze into Will's troubled blue eyes. He's concerned, clearly. But there seems to be more...
No, stop Lizzy. Remember your self-vow.
"Calm down, Lizz."
I do, eventually. "I just hate how my sickness is becoming a burden to you guys", I say to no one in particular. "Maybe I should've just stayed home..."
Will remained silent for a moment. To me, it seemed like he was trying to find out what to say. I just want him to stay quiet, for now. I'm not in the mood for conversation.
"Lewis will be here in a moment. Do you need anything?", he asks in a low voice. I shake my head. "I'm okay. You should start heading out."
"I don't want to leave until Lewis gets here", he argued. Knowing him, I figured he'll stay true to his word, so I stay quiet. Arguing won't solve anything.
I take a deep breath and try to relax. I know Will is only trying to make me feel better but I only want to be alone. I know I mentioned it being a fear of mine, but there are some points that I have to be alone. I'm not scared if I know someone I'm friends with is right outside my door.
It's obvious that Will cares about me. Though I wish I can return his feelings. I've drawn a line between us ever since we met that day. I've no intention of snapping that now.
All I can do is wait, and hope that I don't lose myself as I descend into the iris of darkness.
