Reed

I wake to a quiet hospital room that was dark and small. Opening my eyes, I'm disoriented and confused. I vaguely remember being wheeled about in a building with bright lights while talking to Simone but have no idea how I ended up here. My wound is sore, but I know its healing and I'm not too worried about it. I find the room empty and sit up slowly, groaning at the stiffness. Grabbing the IV pole, I go into the bathroom and do my thing before walking back to bed and lying down.

I just close my eyes when I hear my room door open and slow my breathing down just a bit to listen and pretend, I'm asleep. "Just be careful of his IV and you'll be fine, Luna," I hear doctor Truent say softly.

The saddest and yet, beautiful voice replies, "Will I hurt him?"

"No. He's going to be fine; I promise."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Have a good night," Truent says and leaves.
