A Second Chance | Fadie

Chapter 12

Glad It Happened To Me & Not You

Sadie's POV:

I flutter my eyes open. Bright lights shine in my face all at once. I try to lift up my arm to shield my eyes but.

"Fuck!" I shriek.

I blink my eyes a couple times, adjusting to the brightness. I don't remember.

Anything.

All I know it that Cal-

Wait, no.

I slightly tilt my head to the left, spotting a tall, fair skinned boy, curled up on the single lounge chair in my room.

Finn? Finn was with me? I don't even fucking remember.

I look down at my arm, wrapped in a white bandage. Needles in my hand and a wrist band on my other hand.

"Ohhh." I whisper.

"That's what happened."

I wriggle myself out of the covers, using my one good arm to get myself into a seated position. I sit on the bed, cross legged. Scanning the room.

I want to wake Finn up because. Well, yes, I want to talk to him, but I'm also really bored. I look around for a clock.

5:03am.

"Shit me it's early." I mumble, rolling my eyes wishing it was later.

It's now Friday. I'm supposed to be at work in like. 5 hours. But I guess its not happening. And mum is supp-

"Wait, where's mum?" I question myself, furrowing my eyes in confusion.

I know I shouldn't climb out of this hospital bed, but, I'm so bored and I need to stretch my legs. Even just to walk around my small little 'room' or just to go pee. There's railing, either side of me.

"Sadie, you've been in these beds before it's easy," I whisper to myself.

"You just unhook this," I roll over, using my good arm to lift the hook and drop the bar.

The bar drops, quite fast and loudly. I cringe and freeze, slowly turning my head to see Finn.

"Phew," I think to myself as I see him still passed out.

I grab my rack of all the fancy shit I'm basically living off and swing my legs over the side of the bed. My hospital gown lifts up a bit, exposing my pale thighs. I wriggle my legs until my feet make contact with the cold hospital floor. I take a couple steps, the IV stand rolling swiftly behind me.

I walk around my bed and over to Finn. My head kind of throbbing but, I ignore it. It's just because of me waking up. I get to Finn, hovering over him. I admire his features. His eyelashes, his nose, the way his freckles are perfectly placed along his face. His baby pink coloured lips parted just the slightest bit. Wow, he's gorgeous. I'm so in love with Fi-

Sadie. No.

Not Finn, you guys are just friends, with a past.

You love Caleb and only Caleb.

I quickly scatter away from Finn and towards the door. I grab a hold of the door handle with my bad arm. I turn my head taking one last look at Finn, the exiting the room.

It's pretty quiet is you ask me, there's like a couple nurses walking by but, not as many as I thought there'd be. I take a breath in and out before continuing to walk down the hall. It feels nice to be out of that bed, I was only in it for like 10 minutes maybe. I walk past a couple nurses, they look at me funny but didn't question me, which was good.
