Chapter 18- 3:01 AM

I opened my eyes to a nurse shaking my shoulder lightly.
"Hmmm?" I said, blurry eyed.
" Oh, sorry to wake you hun, I just wanted to say I put some tea and biscuits over on the counter in case you were hungry. Anythings better then the vending machine food we got here." she said.
Visiting hours were long over, but I told them I was his sister, which apparently was believable. I didn't really talk much so they didn't hear my accent. I ended up just mumbling most of the time so that wasn't a problem.
" Thank you..." I trailed off, but tried to show as much appreciation as possible. There wasn't a lot to be happy about.
" I'm sorry about your brother. I had a sister here at the hospital once. " She began to look down at her feet. " She um... had a broken rib and a bruised wrist, two black eyes, and a concussion from her boyfriend. Former boyfriend now I suppose. " I could tell she was trying to help, but Jesus Christ I wish she would just shut up. I just wanted to be alone. Just Peej, me, and my thoughts. She continued on, eyes now with a layer of shine from telling her story.
" He was arrested a couple days later once the police found him trying to get out of the country." Ok, I know I'm being a jerk but I just wanted her to leave us alone.
"I've seen the way you look at him. Your not his sister are you?"
I looked down with a worried look of being kicked out, so I let my hair cover my face. " Don't worry Hun, I won't tell anyone. It'll be our little secret, okay?"
I actually made an effort to look up into her eyes. " Thank you,"
" But wow, you two sure do look alike." I half smiled for the first time in days.
"I'll let you be." With that, she walked out and closed the glass door lightly. I looked at the time on bedside table. 3:01 AM. I laid my head down on the hospital bed and closed my eyes. The smell of the hospital filled my nose. I listened to the heart monitor at its steady beat. I sighed. God, why him? Why Pj? These kind of things happen to other people, not me. Why, Why, Why! I thought angrily.
"Damnit! " I said hitting the table with my fist, pushing my tea closer to the edge.
"Oh my god..." I mumbled, my hand pressing against my forehead.
I looked at the file with Pj's report again for the 10th time.

I stopped reading, it was too much. The other side of the folder had several x-rays from all over his body. I closed the folder and threw it back down on the table. I sipped my tea. It was cold now, but that was the least of my worries. I didn't want the biscuits, not hungry. It would be good to take a break. I opened the glass door planned to head to the lobby to see Alex, Carrie, and them, but first, the bathroom. I better wash up before I go and see them. They'll be glad to know how he's doing.

I walked into the lobby lined with floral chairs around the edges. to see all of them awake except Dan. He seemed a bit jittery as I walked into the room, he stood straight up. "How is he? How's he doing, I mean?"
" Uh, he's stable I guess, everything's going fine."
"Glad to hear that... At least there's some good news." Dan replied relieved. He sat back down.
"Yea, well, the doctors don't know when he's going to wake up so..." I trailed off, setting the look of worry back on Dan's face. Carrie began to wake up, blinking herself slowly back to the reality of things.
When she saw me, she immediately got up and ran over.
" How is he? Is he alright? "
"Stable." I responded. I didn't really feel like talking much anymore.
"You look... hungry! Have you eaten?" I know I looked completely horrific. She was being as nice as possible. "Uh, yea, yea..." I lied.
" Well, I'm starved. I'm going to go out and get us all something to eat. You sure you don't want anything?" She said, trying to be cheerful to maybe lighten the mood.
" No, I'm fine, but thanks anyways." I answered.
After she left, there was quite a long awkward silence so I decided just to head back to the Pj's room.

Dans P.O.V

I couldn't sleep. How could I? It was all my fault, everything. I tried to convince myself it wasn't me. I'm not the reason for all this, right?
Suddenly, I heard a door open. Kat walked in making me feel more guilty than ever. I stood up, worried.
"How is he? How's he doing, I mean?" I asked, scared of the answer. " Uh, he's stable everything's going fine for now." She stared at the blue and white tiles on the floor.
" Glad to hear that...at least there's some good news." Well, he's alright for now, I hope this all blows over soon and I'll never have to tell anyone the truth. Hopefully.
