"So, once your burns heal a bit more, you'll need to start some physical therapy." I sighed but soon got excited at the thought of being able to move around again. Staying cooped up in this room was not my favorite.

"And how long will that take?"

He looked up from his clipboard and thought for a moment. "Which part of that?"

"Both."

He pretended to think for another moment while I sighed. "It all depends on how long it takes you to heal and how determined you are to start moving around." I nodded and he left the room, leaving me in silence. At least until I un-paused my video.

...

"Hey Doe! I brought you some dinner!" I smiled at Rachel's cheerfulness as she set the tray of food up for me to eat. A steaming plate of chicken and rice with a small pile of vegetables were set in front of me and I thanked her.

Once I started to eat, she sat down in the chair next to me and started to watch the video I had up.

"So which group is this?"

I chewed the food in my mouth before answering her. "This is a show called Real Got7 and the group is, of course, Got7." She nodded and I continued to eat my food while watching the show with her.

"You know, I really don't understand the point of half of what they are doing." I sighed at Rachel and she just looked at me.

"The point is... Yeah I don't really know I just like to watch them." She nodded and I was about to click on the next episode when she stopped me by taking the remote out of my reach.

"Hey! Rachel! If you don't like them you can just use your words and tell me instead of taking away the remote!" I struggled to grab the remote back, but eventually gave up and pouted.

"Just let me tell you some good news first."

I started to get excited over the prospect of something different. Anything different would make me happy, but just the thought made me ecstatic.

"So, what is it?"

She thought for a minute before a smile spread on her face. "You're going to love this. Absolutely love this. Do you remember the meeting that I went to a couple weeks ago?" I thought for a minute, but then remembered that was the day she was late for lunch and I was starving. It was also the day I was introduced to this lovely TV. I slowly nodded because I didn't know where this was going and she continued.

"Well, the hospital is trying to get it so the kids in the intense care units can meet someone they admire. At least the ones that are able to handle it and are well enough. We wouldn't want some poor kid to go into a shock induced coma because of this."

I nodded and got confused. "And this has something to do with me because...?"

She covered her face with her hands and dropped her head while sighing. "You're in the intense care unit Doe. You're one of the kids that gets to do this."

My eyes widened and I started wiggling like crazy from the thought of seeing a different person. I mean, it's not like I don't enjoy Rachael's company, I just would like someone new to entertain me for a bit. "Really?!"

She picked her head up and refilled my water glass for me. "We can make it so you can see one of your favorite groups. You just might have to wait a little while for the celebrity or celebrities to have an opening in their schedule."

My smile instantly dropped at the thought of how busy my favorite groups were. They wouldn't have time to see a crippled girl. No one does. I was stupid to think I would be that lucky after all of the bad things that have happened to me.

"What's wrong Doe? I thought you would love this." I took a sip from my water and sighed.

"Nobody is going to have time for me. You'll be lucky if the company even responds to deny you." Rachel instantly grabbed my right hand, careful to avoid touching the major cuts.

"Just let me work my magic and you'll see. Now just tell me who it is that you want to see and I'll get them here."

I thought for a minute to think of who I really wanted to see. It had to be someone that I wouldn't later think, maybe I shouldn't have asked for them. I didn't realize that thought process alone would be that hard.

"One of my favorite groups is currently getting ready for a comeback, even though they aren't promoting it, and they're about to go on a world tour. So they're out of the question if they can't even attend award shows. But..."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and smiled. "But..."

"There's another group that I like equally as much that just might be able to come if I'm super lucky. Only if I'm super lucky though." She smiled and grabbed her clipboard and pen. What is it with medical staff and clipboards?

"Give me a group name and I'll see what I can do."

"Wait. Their group has a lot of people. I don't think the hospital will let all of them come." Rachel thought again, but was soon twiddling her pen in excitement.

"As long as it's not that NCT group, I'm sure you'll be fine. Plus, all of them probably won't be able to come anyways. Just give me the group name and company~"

I started to smile since Rachel's excitement was contagious. "Their name is Seventeen and they are under Pledis entertainment."
