I heard voices. Familiar voices. Voices of the people who love me. It's been a while. Or so it feels like. My eyes are stuck together with sleepy. But I force them open. I see people I love. Sam, Jared and, Paul.
I am so thankful you are okay! Sam said as he hugged.
Me too. I sighed.
I'll go tell the doctor that you are awake. Paul said.
I'll go with ya. Jared said.
How long has it been? I asked worried.
Just a couple of days. He said.
Good, I didn't want to miss the last week of school. I said.
Mattie, not wanting to miss school? What's happened? He asked jokingly.
Oh is Jake okay? I asked scared.
Yeah, Jake is fine. He had to go in surgery to remove the bullet. He is fine and is at home resting up. He will be able to back to school soon. He said.
I am so relieved. I said.
Why did you do? He asked.
Do what? I asked confused.
Intervene. Sam said.
I don't know, I felt like I needed to. I had to stop it because no one else would've. I said.
I am so proud of you. Even if you did worry me to death! He said.
Sorry. I didn't know it would have been this bad. I said.
Hey Mato, how are you feeling? I am doctor Carisle. He said.
I'm feeling fine. I said.
That's good! You suffered three bullets. Two to your shoulder and one to the side of you knee. He said.
Okay. I shrugged.
You will have to wear the sling for a couple weeks or more. Depending on how you heal. Then you will be wearing a brace on your leg. You will be able to walk but you might have to use forearm crutch. Because you will have a limp. He said.
Joy. I said sarcastically but in a nice way.
When will she be able to go home and back to school? Sam asked.
Soon either tomorrow or the next day. Depending on how she feels and everything. He said.
I feel fine, can I go home now? I asked hopefully.
No, you just woke up from a small coma. Carisle said.
Fine. I mumbled disappointed.
Oh! Will I be able to travel in a week and a half? I asked.
Probably. He said.
Yes! Going to see Seth! Yay! I said.
Maybe. Sam said.
Sam! What? No way, I am going to Seth's new house. I said.
Will see. He said.
I sighed in frustration.
What have you all been up to? I asked Paul, Jared and, Sam.
Sitting at the hospital. Waiting on you to wake up. Jared said.
Oh, that sounds boring. I said.
Just a little bit. But it was worth it. To make sure everything was okay. Paul said.
Does Seth know what happen? I asked.
He might, it's been all over the news. Paul said.
Really? I asked shocked.
Yep but of course no names except for yours was released. Jared said.
What? Why my name? I asked.
Because you're the hero in all this. Oh, I have to go call the police and tell them that you are awake. He said.
Why the police? I asked scared.
Because they want to know your side of the story. Duh. Jared said.
Of course. I said.
Great, all I wanted to do today was tell the police my side of story!
I am so thankful you are okay! Sam said as he hugged.
Me too. I sighed.
I'll go tell the doctor that you are awake. Paul said.
