"Ok...and now let's try for the reason you're here" I stated.
"Uh...I guess I'm" he started.
"Freaking me out....ok lets make a deal since I'll probably be here for a while how about you come back after I can see then we'll hang all you want. I just don't feel like being very social in this condition." I negotiated.
I was making my case, but if he disagreed, I'd make my case in court with a restraining order. This was all really strange to me.
"Promise?" he replies expectantly.
"Sure whatever" I sighed
I could see him move suddenly towards the door through blurry eyes and heard his statement that followed as he reached the door.
"I'll hold you to that"
He left the room and I finally relaxed back into my bed. The pain in my back was less yet still severe and my head was still throbbing; this was going to be a long day.
A few minutes later a knock came at the door. I sighed and sat up again in my bed.
"My God man it's only been a few minutes since you left..." I stated.
"Devon...Devon!!" Kim came running in the room to my surprise.
I instinctively opened my arms as she ran to me for a hug. She crashed into me as she grasped me in a rough hug. The degree of the hug caused me a small amount of pain but I remained still as she hugged me.
"Oh my god, they wouldn't let me see you they said that they could only notify relatives of your condition and then I had to wait to see you. God...I didn't know if you'd wake up or not!!!" she cried out.
I remained in the embrace as she cried on my shoulder. The pain in my back still present but only as an afterthought.
"Shh...Shh, I'm fine really...see" I stated as I held her back.
She wiped her eyes as she looked me over and then did what I never expected. Crying screaming hysteria I was all ready for but not this. She slapped me; almost knocking me over. She slapped me and left the room in a haze of screams and profanities.
I sat there with my mouth hanging open staring at the door. Kim was always a person to act on instincts but for the life of me I can't imagine what would lead her to "feel" that I needed to be slapped. A few moments later the door flew open, just as quickly as she had left Kim returned at full stride and stood directly in front of me at the foot of the bed.
I continued to stare at her awaiting some kind of explanation for her actions. And in response to my staring she stared back as if expecting me to explain the situation.
"Do you have any idea what you did to me?" she hissed out.
"What?"
"You scared me, scared me like I've never been scared before" she hissed again as tears began there decent from her eyes.
"What...hello, I was hit by a car, woke up in a strange bed...unable to see with some whacko staring at me and I scared you!!!" came my reply.
"You could've died....do you realize how afraid I was?" she wiped her eyes as she spoke.
"I'm sorry this all happened but you need to calm down, you can't blame me."
She moved towards the side of the bed her fist clenched and her lips pressed firmly together. "You walked out into the middle of that parking lot and you didn't even look where you were going. When I told you to stop, you kept going."
I took a breath before I continued on. "You had been pestering me in the restaurant; I thought you were going to start again outside so I kept walking."
She moved to the corner and moved the small wooden chair and placed it at my side near the bed.
She sat in the chair and sighed heavily. "I'm sorry I hit you, I've just been so scared and angry since all this happened."
I was growing tired from sitting up in bed so I lay back against the head of the bed and the wall. "Angry?"
`Yeah, angry; angry at the guy who hit you, angry at the doctors for making me wait to hear anything and to see you. And angry at you for not letting me help you." she stated.
"Help me?" I replied.
She leaned forward in the chair and brought herself closer to me. "What was it you mumbled back in the restaurant?
I chuckled at her question for a moment, "you mean all this time you been wondering what I said?" Kim gaze remained hard and serious as I joked over the situation.
"Yes, what was it you said."
"Kim please I wouldn't remember something stupid like what I mumbled, especially not after all this."
"Bullshit...you mean to tell me you can remember me messing with you before you got hit and everything since then but not what you said."
"That's exactly what I mean to say Kim" I stated looking her dead in the eyes.
"I wish...." She stated randomly
"What?"
"That's what you said... I was never completely sure but that's my guess." She stated in a whisper.
"Kim do you understand how confusing this conversation is?"
"Back in the restaurant I said that you were looking like the world was coming to and end and nothing matters. You replied under you breath, I wish"
"You've got to be kidding me, that doesn't make any since" I replied.
"Yeah...but that's what you said...Devon why did...." She was interrupted.
"The guy...the one that was watching me sleep he said I wasn't in the ICU or a recovering area. That I was moved." I stated hoping to change the subject.
I watched as Kim took in what I had stated. And for a moment I believed that I had succeeded in changing the subject.
"There was a guy watching you sleep?" she questioned eyebrows raised.
"Yeah when I woke up...said his name was Hayden" I replied.
"Did you tell anyone?"
Immediately after she said that my face became that of confusion and thought.
"No actually I didn't" I replied.
"Well we need to tell someone don't you think"
"No he's a patient here; I don't think he's dangerous"
"Well he was right this isn't the ICU they did move you...this is the Mental Ward"
AN: Well there it is...I know it's been awhile but I'm thinking over my plans. judge the plot yet you'll be surprised how things change. The stories about to get exciting dramatic and confusing.
