Ray tried taking small breaths, but it was getting hard to breathe. “Can you go get the nurse or doctor?” He asked, bringing his free hand up to his chest. “I. Can’t. Breathe.” He gasped, practically clawing at throat. His head began to pound and his vision began to get hazy and the last thing he remembered was alarms beeping and a bunch of people running into the room before he passed out.
Through the alarms, doctors arrived, escorting her outside. Amelia knew it was even worse then bad, when she arrived in the waiting room, taken in by her siblings and friends. She didn’t speak to them, not knowing what to say, since the only thing she could do was cry.
When the doctors had cleared him to be stable, they had arranged a bed for her to sleep in. Laying on it, she had kept crying before she fell asleep, letting Oliver watch the both of them.
Looking up, Oliver smiled weakly. “Hey Ray, good to have you back.” He whispered.
As Ray slowly came to, his head pounded, his chest ached, and he felt something weird and tingly in his nose. He cracked his eyes open, his head being pierced with pain as light was let in once more. He heard voices, and it took him a second to figure out where he was again.
As if on cue, a doctor walked in and nodded to Oliver before addressing Ray. “Mr. Palmer, good to see you’ve rejoined us.” Ray nodded back to the doctor, trying to readjust in the hospital bed. “Just stay still, Ray. You’ve been though a lot, and it’s best to just stay put. You experienced some internal bleeding, and on top of that, a pierced lung. You’ve got quite a few broken ribs, and something shifted internally and well, pierced your lung and caused the lack of oxygen and therefore causing you to lose consciousnesses.” Ray simply blinked at the man, looking to Oliver and a sleeping Amelia. “We’re keeping a close eye on you. It’s best to keep still and let yourself be helped, Ray. I’ve been told you’re pretty stubborn when it comes to that. I’ll check on you later,” the doctor said before patting Ray’s bed and exiting the room.
Ray looked over to Oliver and opened his mouth to speak, but he closed them again. He looked down at his arms, covered in bruises and bandages. There were tubes and wires connected to him, and it was very overwhelming. “Thank you, Oliver,” Ray croaked, his throat dry. “For keeping Amelia safe while I was gone.”
