It's these moments where it's like your heart just dropped off the Empire State Building and crushed beneath you right before your eyes. What are you talking about, Emerald? I imagine that's what you're asking. Well, according to Emiley {who, in my opinion, is not that reliable of a source}, Daniel got hit in the "crossfire". To which I asked, "what crossfire?" It came out with a tad bit more violent nature then intended. "Th-The crossfire that happened 5 days ago?" Which, if you couldn't tell, is what Emiley replied with. I hoped that she'd soon realize, I've been unconscious. For 4 days. Therefore all news or new gossip going around, wouldn't have gotten to me. Unless Ruby decided she wanted to spill gossip to an unconscious nerd. Anyway, besides the point. The fact more confusing in the midst of all this is...how could daniel get hit...if it were at service to remember his death?
The one thing you could do that could lay the worse burden on a person who just escaped death, is talk about their "believed-to-be-dead-brother" while they are still lying in a hospital bed. "H-h-he's in a room down the hall. I-in the E...R" To Emiley this sentence must have been the most concerning that was ever to come out of her mouth, I made this conclusion because of how she stuttered and gulped between words.
Spencer and Ruby shot worried and confused looks across the room at each other. "So...when are we getting dinner?" asked Bucket. Now, due to Buckets personality and overall mindset, it was nearly impossible to decide whether this was a serious question or simply just a knife he was using to slice through the thick tension. Spencer glared cold-heartedly at Bucket as if she knew his intentions before he even completed them. No matter the situation, Spencer would always be the first to take charge. Ruby, on the other hand, would attempt to take charge by yelling at everyone and threatening to throw someone head-first through a window. Bucket, clearly ignoring Spencer's gestures, gave everyone else in the room a stern matter-of-fact look and proceeded to ask the same question repeatedly until someone finally replied. "No, Bucket. We'll never get dinner so stop asking what time we will!" after lashing out at Bucket, Ruby clamped her mouth shut and pulled out her compact, trying to cover up the slight deep purple bags under her almond-shaped eyes.
