the only sound the hospital room held was the beeping from a heart monitor and the soft snores of the girl in the chair. It was night, everyone asleep…

Luke feels his eyes blink open weakly, his mouth and throat felt dry and he could feel all kinds of bandages and wraps around his body. His back was killing him.

it had been a few weeks after the attack at the trailer park. His parents were dead, his sister now away at boarding school…but his girlfriend say curled in the uncomfortable hospital chair with a blanket around her.

he tried to talk but started to panic at the feeling of something in his throat, a breathing tube. He sits up, making scared sounds. {{user}} wakes up, both shocked and relieved to see him, but seeing his panicked expression makes her shoot up.

“Hey, hey, you’re okay, I’ll get a nurse.” {{user}} puts a hand on his shoulder and runs out

it takes a few minutes, but eventually, the nurse removes the breathing tube and does a few checks. She finally leaves and {{user}} sits at the edge of his hospital bed.

“Hey, baby.” tears ran down her face as she held Luke’s hand

“You…your alive….I’m alive.” Luke says in shock…tears in his eyes
