Part 7

"Morgan, Morgan, you've got to wake up," I heard someone say. There was a hand gripping my own, and I could tell there were multiple people in the room.

I slowly blinked my eyes open. The first person I saw was Asa, who was sitting next to my bed in a plastic chair. He was the one who was holding my hand.

"Morgan?" he asked softly.

"Yes?" I asked. A huge smile broke out on his face.

"You're awake," he said softly.

"I'm awake. What happened?" I asked.

"You were hit by a car on your way to school. The person who hit you brought you here. No one knew who you were but Lucy figured it out that something might have happened to you and then they were finally able to contact people and tell them what happened to you," Asa explained.

"Who found you?" I asked.

"Jordan," was his simple answer. I nodded. By that time, everyone else in the room had figured out I was awake and they all swarmed around my bed. Questions came at me from everyone, and I began to feel overwhelmed. Asa noticed and said,

"Whoa, back up everyone and give her some space." they complied, only after seeing how I was reacting to all the attention.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" Linda asks, coming up to my bedside.

"For now, yes," I said. She smiled at me.

"Good." Then she backed away and Lucy approached me, crushing me in a hug.

"Morg, you scared me half to death!" she said.

"Luce...can't...breathe," I choked out.

"Oh, sorry. How's the pain?" she asked.

"It's fine right now, I can't feel it because of all these pain meds," I said, laughing. "How hurt am I?"

"Well, you have a few broken ribs, and you had some pretty bad blood loss, along with your shattered arm and leg," Lucy said cautiously. "You're going to need to be in a wheelchair until you can walk on your leg." She said the last part extra cautiously because she knew that I wouldn't like having to be pushed around, literally, all day.

"Ugh. But that's it?" I asked. Lucy nodded and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Also, how long have I been out?"

"Um, about three days, your body had some pretty intense healing to do," Asa said.

"Wait, so it's Wednesday?" I asked. Everyone in the room nodded. "Where are the girls?" I asked, finally noticing their absence from the room.

"At home," Linda said. "Richard has taken quite a liking to those girls, so he offered to stay home with them." I nodded.

"How long have you all been here?" I asked. There were mixed replies of 'a couple of hours' and 'a few minutes' or even 'a couple of days'. But Lucy and Asa both said, 'the whole time'. "Really? You've both been here with me the whole time?" I asked them. They nodded. "You guys are the best." They smiled at me and for everyone else in the room, it was a slightly awkward moment to witness.

"Yeah, I could barely drag Lucy away to even take a shower," Jordan said, breaking the awkward silence. I laughed.

"Really? Lucy never misses showers."

"These past few days I did," she said.

"And I had to cover for this guy at work yesterday," Jordan added. I snapped my head towards Asa.
