I Need To Tell You In Person...

Lacie’s POV:
 

Why did I have the same dream? I wondered. The room is dark and the only thing that I can hear is my heart monitor. My covers are at the bottom of my hospital bed so I was moving around a lot. I wonder what time it is. Where is everyone? I couldn’t have been asleep for very long.
 

Then a nurse walked in. She turned on a small light. She has red hair. It’s short, about to her shoulders, and it was curly. She is thin and has glasses. “Sorry if I woke you. I have to come in here every once in a while to check up on you.” she said apologetically. “It’s ok, I was awake anyways. Um, do you know where my mom is?” I asked. “No, I’m sorry. But, now that you’re awake I have to change your bandages.” she said. “Ok, will it hurt?” I asked. I was a little bit scared. “Maybe a little but. I have to clean off your stitches, but you’ll be ok.” “Alright.” I replied.
 

She carefully took off the tape and the gauze. The gauze stuck to my head like glue and it was pretty painful. She took something wet that I couldn’t see and rubbed it gently on my stitches. The coldness gave me a bit of relief from the pain. Then she took something else and put it on my head. It started to burn so I winced back trying to get my head away from whatever she was putting on it, “Sorry, I have to do this or you will get an infection. Your almost done,” she assured me.
 

She then finished up and threw away all of the things she used to clean me up. Then she put new gauze and tape on my wound, which I still don’t remember getting. “Ok all done. Now that wasn’t too hard.” She said trying to comfort me. “Thank you.” I said. “It’s my job.” she replied and then laughed. “What time is it?” I asked. “Five-o-nine.” she replied.
 

Wow I slept for that long? I want to know what Justin was going to tell me. It seemed really important. I’ll call and ask him when the sun is up. He’s probably tired as heck. The nurse then left and said that she would bring me my breakfast in a little while. So I was sitting in my room alone, This gives me time to think.
I am really glad that I have Justin as a friend. Maybe that’s the way that it’s supposed to be. I don’t want him to feel awkward around me, especially since he saved my life. I can’t wait to get out of this hospital and be in my own bed at my own house with Gabes. She always makes me feel better.
 

I’m not tired anymore so I got out of bed and walked carefully into the bathroom. I want to see what my head looks like… Since I haven‘t seen it since the accident, which I still don‘t remember. The bathroom was all white and very bright. The shower was small which was ok with me. There was a towel rack above the toilet and the mirror was above the sink.
 

I stared at the long white gauze strip on my forehead, which was taped on. I wanted to see how big of a scar I would have, but then again I didn’t want to see how ugly I looked. I touched my forehead lightly so that I wouldn’t hurt myself again. After I was done analyzing myself in the mirror, I went to lay on my bed again.
 

I wish that I could call someone. I’m so lonely here. I then looked around my boring white room and saw something attached to the bottom of my bed. I brought it up and it was a computer. I turned it on and decided to check my myspace. I logged on and scrolled down. Two messages and three comments. I decided to check my messages first. One was from Kelsey. It said,
 

“Omg, Lacie. I miss you sooooooo much. I cant wait until you get out of the hospital. You need to write me back! Justin and I left around 3. We miss you!
Luv, Kels<3”

“Aww Kels I cant wait till’ I get out of here too. I’m gonna have such an ugly scar. Ugh! I just woke up at 5 so you didn’t miss anything. All they did was change my bandages. Well w/b or come visit me when you can.
XOXO, Lacie<333”
I wonder if she can tell that I like Justin. I don’t want her to know because she will make fun of me. I know it! I dismissed that thought and sent the message. I went to read the next message when I saw that I had just received another message. It’s from Justin I love his default picture. It’s of him and me at the beach. I clicked the message link and it said,

“Hey Lacie, why are you signed onto the computer so early? Aren’t you in the hospital? Well, that doesn’t matter. Listen, I need to talk to you. It’s really important, but I need to tell you in person. I’ll drop by the hospital if your still there to tell you. W/b bye.
Justin (:”
Wow this is pretty important. What should I say back? Ok, I’ll just wing it.

“Hey, Justin, I found a laptop in my hospital room. I’m up because the nurse had to change my bandages. Yeah, you can come over to the hospital later. Maybe around lunch time. Hopefully I will get out of here today. What’s so important that you have to tell me in person? Nvm I’ll just hear it when you get here.
