Tim's Thought's Were Racing the Young Man Sat in the Hospital Waiting Room anxiously Awaiting the New's
He'd Been There For God Know's How Long to Find Out How Brian Was
His Best Friend Love Of His Life-
His Thought's Were Racing in every Direction
Was He Gonna Be Okay-?
Is He Gonna Make It-?
What If He didn't Make it-?
Is He Gonna Be Okay-?
What'd He Do If Brian wasn't okay-?
Hell He wasn't Sure He'd Be there In the First place if it wasn't For Brian
Please Be Okay
Please Be Okay
Please Be Okay
"Sir-?" Came a Feminine Voice Snapping Tim From his Intrusive Thoughts "Tim Wright—?" The the Female Asked She Gave Tim a Nervous Smile She was Dressed In crisp Scrub's
He Assumed She was a Nurse
"Yes-?" Tim Asked Nervously He Looked Up His Eye's Meeting Her's
"Am I Correct-?" She Questioned "Yes That's Me-"
"So You're Here For—Brian Thomas is It-?" She asked
Tim Nodded Nervously Adjusting the Collar of His shirt
"Is-Is He Okay-?"
"Did- He Make It-?"
Tim's Voice Cracked Slightly the Anxiety Written all Over His Face and Body Language as he Nervously tapped His Foot against the Tiled Floor
The Woman Nodded with A smile "He Did He Actually Made it-Quite a Miracle As the Doctor Didn't Even Think He'd Make it-But He Beat the Odd's Though they were stacked Against Him" She Explained the Woman Smiled at Tim again
"Would You Like Too See Him-?"
"He's Still A Bit Under It-But He Keep's asking For you-"
Tim Mustered a Nervous Smile "Yes-Please-" He choked Out "Right-Follow Me Then" she motioned For Tim to Follow Her He stood Up Trailing behind Her Nervously
"Shelly-" Came another voice the Woman Looked Over Then Quickly Opened the Door
"Go ahead-I Think I'm Needed-Just Holler At Me if You Need anything-"
Tim Nodded Entering the Room
"Thank You M'am"
The Man Quickly Pulled a Seat setting It Beside The Blonde's Bed "Brian...? ...It's Me.." Tim Spoke He Gently Took Brian's Hand
"...Tim...?" The Blonde asked Groggily
"Yeah...Its Me...." Tim Responded feeling Tear's prick the Edges of His Eye's He Blinked Them Away
"Whaht's Wrong-?" Brian asked Groggily Looking at Tim
"Nothing-Just-Just-Relived-" He Whispered "I-I Didn't Think You'd Make It..." Tim answered Sniffling once More
"Whatdya Mean-?" Brian Asked His Brow's furrowing "Make Out Whaht-?" the Blonde Questioned
"....The Surgery...The one you Just went through...-The Doctor-He said There was Less Than 50% Chance You'd Make It..." Tim Explained
"Surgery...?"
What....? What Was He Talking about-?
Tim Took a Deep Breathe and Squeezed Brian's hand again Rubbing his thumb over the Top of his hand
"...You....You Just went Through a Major Surgery...your Spine....It....It Broke.." The Brunette Said Quietly beginning to sniffle again
"...It was Life Or Death Brian..."
"Didn't Think You were Gonna Make It-"
"The Surgery Was Risky—But Needed-To Save Your Life-"
Brian was Silent not Speaking At All
The Young Man Was Trying to Piece Everything Together He was So Confused and Was In a Great Amount of Pain
His Memory Was So Foggy and Blurry
Why was He Here-?
More Importantly Where was He-?
His Head Hurt Badly as If Someone Had Banged His Head against Something Metal or Even Being Stabbed By Pin's and Needle's
Brian Looked around Nervously Taking in account of His Surroundings the Light Was Bright and Blinding
It Hurt His Head Even More
The Room Was A Crisp White color and smelt of Antiseptic Which The Smell Stung
Was This what Sensory Overload Is-?
He-he was In a Hospital Room-
.... But Why was He Here....?
He Vaguely Remember's A window Being Up Extremely High Up
-Why was He Up so High-?
The Thought mad him Queazy
He Didn't Like Heights at All
They Made Him Nervous
He was Scared of Heights in all actuality
But he wouldn't Admit that
Why Did Everything Hurt So Badly-?
Why was He So sore-?
God His Head Felt Like it was Gonna Split open
Window,Window,Window
..Open Window...
....He Had Fallen....
At Least He Thought He Did
The Wind Rushing Over Him
Through His Hair
The Shear Force-
And The Sound-
CRACK-!!
That Sound—That Damned Sound
His Spine Had Shattered
The Cracking Sound Had Made it so obvious
That's Why He was Here
He Was Alive-
The Sound Rung In Brian's Ear's It was Repeating itself Over and Over Again
Tim Looked at Brian With a Concerned Expression
He Squeezed Tim's Hand Back Weakly Before Speaking In a hushed Tone
".....Because I Fell....Right...?"
Tim Gave Brian a Slight Nod
"...I...I Heard It Crack..." He Mumbled Cringing
He Didn't Like the Sound
He wanted it Out of His Head
He Hastily Buried his face In Tim's Shoulder
Tim Cringed and Ran His Fingers Through Brian's Messy Blonde Hair
"... yeah The Sound Is Embedded In My Memory.." The Brunette Mumbled Quietly
"...But At Least You Made It-" Tim Said Managing A Small Nervous Smile he Sniffled
"....The Doctor Said There was Only a 50% Chance You'd Survive..."
"I was So Scared you wouldn't Make it"
".....I Actually Went to Church with your Parents....and Prayed For you.."
The Man Said He Chuckled Slightly "....My Mom Convinced You..?" Brian asked Quietly
"I was Desperate Brian—Willing to Try anything-" Tim stated
"...Why Don't You Try and Get Some rest-While I Call You're parents-?"
"Don't Need Sleep-" Brian Responded Immediately
Tim sighed "Yes You do—You Have a Long Recovery Ahead-And I can Tell you're Very Tired"
"No-I wanna Alk'"
Tim Took a Deep Breathe Looking At Brian
"......You-You Can't...You Broke Your Spine....Badly...."
".....The....The Doctor Say's You're Gonna Be In a Wheelchair..."
"Whaht-?"
"Wheelchair-?"
He wasn't serious was he-?
There had to be some misunderstanding
He wasn't Gonna be in a wheelchair
Brian's Brow's Furrowed
"...Yeah...a Wheelchair..."
He Looked at Tim with a confused Expression
No No No
That couldn't Be Right
He Could Walk
He Didn't need a wheelchair
He wasn't Gonna be confined to A Damn Wheelchair
The Blonde Quickly Shoved the White Hospital Sheet's Off himself and Began attempting to Stand Up Yet he was Unable Too He Couldn't Quite Move
He Was Causing himself much More Pain He Sank Back a Sharp Pained Whimper Escaped his Lip's
"Shit-!" Tim Blurted Out Helping Brian Lay Back Down
"Brian Please—You Need To Rest-Please-"
"You're Gonna Hurt yourself-"
"You Can't Not Now-"
"Er-Shelly-Nurse-is it-" Tim Said Cracking the door Open Slightly he Heard Footsteps and moved away from the door Shelly Opened the Door And Peaked Into the room
"Is Something Wrong-?"
"What's up-?"
Tim Looked at Her Before Beginning to explain
"....Brian He-Tried to stand Before I Could Stop Him-" He explained
"Oh Dear-" the woman Stated She Stepped In and Shut the Door She Then Looked to Brian and Sighed
"You Can't walk-you're Gonna Hurt yourself—" She Explained "Especially Right After a Surgery-"
"....But I wanna Walk...I wanna be able to walk..."
"..I Know Brian-But Please-Please Listen to me-"
"I don't Wanna Be Confined to A wheelchair..."
"..I Don't wanna Rely On it..."
"...Please-Until The Doctor Comes To Talk to you-"
"Fine-" Brian choked Out
"...How Long...?" The Blonde Asked
"He's Gonna Be Bout' Twenty More Minutes"
"...Okay..."
"...You're Gonna Stay Tim-? Right-?"
"Always-" Tim gave Brian a small smile

The Door Creaked Open after What Had Seemed Like an Eternity To Brian
"Hello—Brian Thomas Is It-?" asked a Male Voice stepping In He Smiles At Tim and Brian He Shut the Door Behind Himself and Pulled a chair Out and Sat Down
"I'm Doctor Mike Smith-" the Man Explained With a smile
Tim Nodded "I'm Tim-" he said
Mike Nodded "So How're You Feeling-" He Questioned Tapping His Pencil Against his Clipboard
Brian's Brow's Furrowed for A moment But then he spoke
"...Fuzzy...M' tryna' Put everytin' Back Together....kinda Sore..." Brian Said He Shifted In Bed causing a sharp Pain to Shoot Through his Body "Ow-Shit-" He Whispered Cringing and slamming his eyes shut
"You're Gonna Have to Stay Still-You're Gonna Hurt yourself and Cause yourself more Pain-"
"You're Gonna stress yourself out too much-Could Even Make Everything worse" Mike Explained
"The Fact Your Alive Is a Miracle—But The Fall Still Had an Great Impact of Your Body-"

"....Paralyzed-?" Brian choked Out beginning to Nervously Fumble with His Hand's
Tim Took Brian's Hand's in Both of His Squeezing them
"You're Very Strong-Definitely a Fighter Brian-"
"Y-Your Jokin' You Gotta be-Can't-Can't Be-"

"Every Step of the Way-"
"You should Probably Try and Get some Rest Alright-?" The Doctor Asked
"...I...I Can Try.." Brian Mumbled
"I'm Gonna Give you something to Help you sleep Okay-?"
"Alright..."
Mike Quickly Injected the Medication Into the IV Line Attached To Brian's arm
"...Why Do I Need That-?"
"It's To Give You Fluid's and Medication's-"

"Let me get you your Pain Medication-You haven't Gotten those In a bit-You Must be in a great Deal of Pain-"
"...Great Laughing Hurts.." Brian Uttered Quietly
"...Just a Fair Warning This is Gonna Make you Hazy and Out of It-" The Doctor Explained pushing the Needle into the IV Once More Emptying the Contents into the IV
