I felt a pounding sensation in my head and could hear muffled voices around me, but I couldn't make out what was being said.
I tried opening my eyes but had to shut them almost instantly due to the bright lights.
Where the hell was I?
After a few minutes I tried opening my eyes again and was successful.
I looked around and saw what I think was a heat monitor maybe?
Wait was I in the hospital? Oh fuck no.
I felt myself begin to shake and I started hyperventilating.
"Hey hey honey calm down, your okay" Elliot appeared above me and held my face in his hands, rubbing his thumbs on my cheeks.
I couldn't really focus though. I struggled to breath and my chest felt tight.
"Get the nurse" I heard Elliott say to someone behind him before turning to face me again.
"Lexi just breath, your fine" he said but I couldn't manage to catch a breath.
Suddenly he was moved away from me and a mask was placed over my mouth by a nurse.
I felt relief when air finally reached my lungs.
The nurses checked my pulse and heart rate before leaving the room.
"Hey you alright now?" Elliott asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.
I noticed Jordan stood at the bottom of my bed.
I nodded and lifted my hand to take the mask off but I was to weak to even get a grip on it.
Elliott reached over and gently lifted my head with one hand, using the over to take off the mask.
"What happened?" I asked Elliott with a croaky voice.
"You had sepsis shock" he explained.
"Oh" mumbled slightly confused.
"How long have I been here?" I asked.
"A week" he said shocking me.
A whole week? But how?
"Your being discharged tomorrow morning, I'm staying with you tonight. Mom stayed yesterday we've been taking turns between me, her and dad" he said.
"You don't have to" I said not wanting to annoy him.
"Don't be stupid of course I do" he smiled.
"Thankyou" I said feeling relieved that I wouldn't have to stay here alone.
I tried sitting up my couldn't manage to support myself so Elliott helped me sit up, making sure I was comfortable.
The door opened revealing the rest of the boys along with Jason and Jeniffer.
The boys were in there uniform so I'm guessing they just got back from school.
"We broug- Lexi your awake" Lucas began to say something until he noticed me.
He ran over and pulled me into a gentle hug.
"Are you alright?" He asked pulling away, holding my shoulders.
I nodded my head as Jeniffer walked over.
She also gave me a hug and a warm smile.
"We brought some food, are you hungry?" She asked and I shook my head.
"You must be hungry and how can your resist mcdonnalds" Lucas said waving a bag I front of me.
He squeezed on the bed next to me and took out some fries from his bag.
