Jacob: Hey. No one could've seen this coming.
Alex: It's not your fault either.
Zander: Then who's fault is it? 'Cause last time I checked I was the one who let then leave when they were half sleep.
Carlos: This is no one's fault.

Jacob: So, are they going to be ok?
Doctor: Yes. They just have to be in the hospital for awhile.
Mom: How long is awhile?
Doctor: About 9 months.
Everyone: 9 MONTHS?!?!???!?!!!
Doctor: Yes. They were hurt really bad in the accident.
Mom: What about the other car that hit them?
Doctor: When the ambulance got to the scene it was only them. No one else.
Mom: So, what if it wasn't really an accident?
Carlos: Huh?
Zander: She means what if someone hit them on purpose.
Mom: Yeah. You guys stay here and try to figure this out. I have to go to work.
Zander: Ok.
Mom: *leaves*
Doctor: After today they can only have one visitor.
Alex: Like, one visitor each or one visitor for both.
Doctor: You just said the same thing twice.
Alex: Oh.
Doctor: Only one visitor in this room.
Carlos: Ok.
Jacob: Starting Tomorrow right?
Doctor: That's correct.
Zander: We have to make a schedule. Since there's 5 of us....
Carlos: There's 4 of us.
Zander: April's Mom.
Carlos: Oh yeah.
Alex: How about no one comes on the weekend.
Jacob: I could work with that.
Zander: Yeah.
Carlos: I call Thursday's.
Zander: Monday's.
Alex & Jacob: Friday's. I want Friday. No, I want Friday.
Carlos: How about you do rock paper scissors.
Alex & Jacob: Rock paper scissors shoot. Rock paper scissors shoot.
Jacob: Yes! Rock beats scissors.
Alex: Dangit. I guess I'll take Tuesday then.
Doctor: Ok. Now that you have that all sorted out I have to ask you to leave.
Alex: Ok.
Zander: *goes up to Venus* I'll see tomorrow.
Everyone: *leaves*

*Monday in Venus's and April's room*

Zander: *sits next to Venus's bed* Hey. I'm so sorry I let this happen to you. This is all *voice cracking* my fault. I should've seen this coming and just drove you home* *sniff* *tear falls*

*1 hour later*

Doctor: Sir you have to leave.
Zander: Ok. *Gets up* Please don't let them die.
Doctor: Ok.
Zander: *leaves*

*Tuesday same place*

Alex: *sits by Venus's bed* Hey Venus.
I know you think I have no idea who you who are, but I do. I've been watching you for awhile. Not to sound like I'm stalking you.
April: *wakes up but still has her eyes closed*
Alex: But I like you. I like you a lot. But you don't know that because I don't show it, but I'm going to start showing it now.
April: *gasps for air and sits up* VENUS!!!!
Alex: Holy s**t!! Can I get a doctor in here!?!
April: What happened?
Alex: You got in a bad car accident.
Doctor: *walks in* You're not supposed to be up.
April: Why not?
Doctor: You're not supposed to be a wake until after 9 months.
April: So, either you were wrong or something's wrong with me.
Doctor: We have to take you into the X-ray area.
April: Ok. *Tries to get up*Um.... I cant move my legs. Alex, why can't I move my legs?
Doctor: This must be a side effect of you waking up.
April: Can I jus go back to sleep or something?
Doctor: No. With your sleeping problems you'd just wake up in another hour or so.
April: So, what does that mean? Am I just going to be paralyzed forever? *Tears up* I don't wanna be paralyzed forever.
Alex: Aw. Don't cry.
April: I'm not gonna cry. I only cry a least once a year and that's only when I'm alone.
Alex: But, your tearing up.
April: Ok? I'ma blink back these years because I don't cry.
Alex: Ok. Anyways, what are we supposed to do?
April: Exactly. How am  supposed to take long walks on the beach if I can't walk. How am I supposed to.... Nevermind. The stuff that I'm thinking about is never gonna happen anyways so.
Alex: You don't know that.
April: I do.
Doctor: I'm going to go get a snack for Alex.
Alex: Ok. Thank you.

*A few minutes later*

April: I'm hun.... *Passes out*
Alex: What just happened?
April: *starts seizing*
Alex: OH MY GOD!!! HELP!!!! HELP ME!!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!
Doctor & crew: *rushes in the room*
Lady: Sir, we need you to step out.
Alex: Is she going to be ok?
Lady: You need to step out of the room. *Trying to get him to leave*
Alex: Tell me if she's going to be ok.
April: *still seizing*
Doctor: She's going into shock. Hold her down.
Assistant: *holds her down*
Doctor: *gets a needle and sticks April with it*
April: *stops seizing*
Alex: What did you do? Is she going to be ok? Answer me!!
Lady: She's going to be ok. Now please leave.
