While You Were Sleeping (An Amourshipping Story)

Chapter 2

By the time the train left, allowing Serena to get out from under the edge of the platform, Shauna had come back from her lunch. She called 911 before helping Serena and the unconscious man off the tracks. Within fifteen minutes, an ambulance arrived and took the unconscious man to the nearest hospital. It wasn't long after the ambulance left that Iris and Axew came and found out what happened. Eager to find out if her crush was going to be okay, Serena convinced Iris to let her have the rest of the day off so that she could go to the hospital. She wasted no time to clock out and head to the hospital as fast as she could until she was at the reception desk at the front entrance.

"Excuse me," she began. "There was a guy brought in here not long ago. He was picked up from the Thom Avenue station."

"What's his name?" The receptionist asked.

"Uh, I don't know his name," Serena admitted.

"You don't know his name?" The receptionist questioned.

Serena scratched the back of her head and said, "Well, the thing is I -"

But as she tried to explain herself, she saw the entrance to the emergency room behind the reception desk, where she could see her crush being rolled away on a stretcher by a Wigglytuff through the glass doors. Serena ran to the doors, ignoring the receptionist calling out to her, and she burst through the doors only to have a doctor step in front of her.

"Excuse me, ma'am, but I need you to stay behind the doors," he said.

"No, please, you don't understand," Serena pleaded. "I want to see -"

"Are you family?" The doctor questioned.

"Well, no, but -" Serena said.

"Then you can't come in. Only family is allowed," the doctor said. "Please stay in the waiting room."

"No, please wait," Serena begged before the doctor closed the door in front of her.

Serena moaned as she watched the doctor and the Wigglytuff roll her crush away until they were out of sight. She rested her forehead on the glass door, disappointed that she couldn't see him. She hoped that if she was there when he woke up and he learned that she saved him, they might get to know each other and he would fall in love with her. A beautiful story where the woman bravely rescues her man. The hopeless romantic woman sighed, thinking she lost her one chance of getting together with her true love.

"I was going to marry him," she groaned.

With her head hung low, Serena walked to the waiting room and slumped onto a chair. She felt like a fool for thinking she could come in and expect to see her crush when she didn't even know his name. She considered going back to work until she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned her head to see a nurse with pink hair smiling at her.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I can get you to see him," she said.

Serena's eyes lit up, and she jumped from her seat with a look of hope.

"Really? You can do that?" She asked.

"Absolutely," the nurse said. "I'll just go check and see when they're done running tests on him, and I'll take you right to his room."

"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Serena cried out before spontaneously hugging the nurse.

"My pleasure," the nurse chuckled. "I'm Joy, by the way."

"I'm Serena," Serena said.

"Pleased to meet you," Joy said. "I heard he fell off the train tracks, and somebody saved him from getting run over. Was that you?"
