Every time that I took a breath my lungs burned. Every time I would turn my head my neck would ache. Every time I blinked my brain would hurt. Every time I moved my body slightly, I felt like I was set to fire. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful sight. She was the love of my life, and I was staring at her.

She had tears in her eyes when she looked at me. I didn't know why she would have those in her eyes. I reached for her, to wipe them, or so I tried. Pain ignited my body causing me to tense up. I tried to open my mouth to scream because the pain I felt was agonizing. I felt like I had been hit by a bus.

She gripped onto my hand. At first it hurts me, but her touch is soothing. I try my hardest to grasp hers. I use all of the strength in my body to take hold of her hand. She doesn't notice that I have been looking at her until she moves that raven colored hair from her face and looks at me.

I try to open my mouth to tell her how beautiful she is, but nothing comes out. In fact, my mouth is connected to tubes. I want to tell her how much I love her and how thankful I am to see her. She puts a hand to my cheek, her touch burns, but I love it also.

“Shh, dont speak.” She tells me.

I wonder why she doesn't want me to speak. Not that I can anyway. She smiles at me with a bright smile. “I am so glad you are awake. I love you so much.” She tells me.

I want to smile at her, but I cant. I close my eyes a little and then open them again. The motion hurts me more than I realize. Gina stands up, kisses my knuckles and leaves the room. She leaves and I want to pull her hand and drag her back to me but I am not able to move. I turn my head to my left and notice that my whole arm is in a cast. My eyes expand and I want to yell. I move my neck, and I want to scream in pain.

My movements are slow but I look around. I see a machine that has so many lines on it. I look at the walls and they are all white. I look at the walls. There are rules and regulations on them. I was at a hospital. I move my eyes to look down my abdomen. There is gauze all wrapped around me. Why was I here and why was I in so much pain.

I close my eyes and then I start to see Gina come back. Behind her is Imogen, Marco, Daughtree, and LauraKate. Why was Marco here?! I breathe faster and my lungs burn. I want to scream.

It hurts. The machine next to me beeps faster and louder.

“Harry, I am going to need you to calm down.” An unfamiliar voice says to me.

Panic rises within me and I look at the woman. She is a doctor.

“Harry calm down.” Gina says to me.

I look at her, standing behind the doctor. She has tears in her eyes. Did I cause this? My heart hurts every time I see her cry.

“There you go, Harry. Calm down.” The doctor tells me.

I look at her. I feel like a bird in a cage. Why am I here? Why are all these people just staring at me and crying?

I close my eyes, and fall asleep.

I open my eyes and I see Marco sitting in a chair next to me. I want to sit up and hug him. I have missed him so much. He holds a hand up and motions me to stay still. I open my mouth and realize that tubes are out of my mouth.

“Water.” I say.

My voice was dry and I felt fire in my throat when I spoke. He nods at me and then leaves the room, coming back with water. He hands me the cup and I take it and drink it slowly. Some of it falls from my mouth because I spit it out. I hiss in pain and Marco takes the cup from me.

“Why am I here?” I ask him.

It hurts to talk.

“You were in an accident and you have suffered.” He says to me.

“When was this accident? How? Who was hurt?”

“Gina and Gemma. On your way back from the airport. You went to England and your flight landed, you were going to Imogen’s and you got in a wreck.” He says.

“Is Gina ok? Gemma?” I ask.

“They are both ok. Barely had a scratch. You on the other hand are not ok.” Marco says.

“It hurts to breathe and to speak. I am in so much pain.” I tell him.

“You will be in pain for a long time. The important thing is that you are healing.” He says to me.

“I have missed you Marco.” I tell him.

“I have missed you son.” He says to me.

--

After the doctor told me what exactly happened to me, she prescribed me pain medication. I wasn't well enough to leave yet. They said I was to get a spleen removed because it was doomed to implode. They said I was to stay still.

Gina walked in and closed to door behind her. I smile at her. I didn't feel a thing. The pain medication was working.

She sat down in a chair next to me and grasped my hand. “I love you.” I tell her.

She smiles at me. “I love you.”

“Are you okay?” I ask her.

“I am fine. Are you okay?” She asks.

“I've been better. The doctor told me that my Aunt donated blood to me.” He says.

“She was the only match.” Gina tells me.

“I dont want her near me until I find out what happened to my mother. After I found out what kind of mother she was to Gemma, I don't want to be near her.” I snap.

“She saved your life.” Gina says.

“I dont care. She could have killed my mother!” I say and rise up.

“She didn't kill your mother Harry.” Gina says.

“She was the last person to be seen with my mother! It adds up! Everybody is just too fucking stupid to realize what is in front of their faces!” I scream.

“Harry! She is your mother!” Gina screams as she stands up.

I stare at her in shock.


Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
