*Chapter 14*

"Alea, how are you feeling?" Scott asked with a huge smile on his face, happy his Alea was awake. "My throut kills, and this mask is annoying, and I don't like this I.V thing at all" "Oh don't worry Alea, now that your awake the I.V will come out soon along with the mask. The doctor said your throut may be sore from the resperator" Scott answered her, while squeezing her hand. "What do you mean 'now that your awake', what resperator?" "Alea it's Wednesday, you've been out cold since Friday when you got here. When you first got here you were in serious condition so they put you on a resperator, they only took it out this afternoon" Scott paused looking at Alea, she kept closing her eyes, trying to keep them open "Go back to sleep, you can have something to eat in the morning" Alea smiled and nodded as she closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

Once Alea was sound asleep Scott left her room. "Excuse me Mrs.?" "Yes" the nurse looked up from her desk. "I just came here to say Alea is starting to wake up, she's gone back to sleep for the night. I was wondering if you could make sure breakfast get's ordered for her. And also if you could keep an eye on her for a bit while I make a phone call." Scott asked very politly. "Of course sir" she responded as Scott walked away

Scott went to the outside patio, the cool winter air giving him a chill. He sat down and took out his phone, he knew he wasn't allowed to use in inside. Scott had to think carefully of who to call. He knew he should call the girls to tell them she's waking up, and that they would be able to visit her probably tomorrow. But he didn't know where to call...Over these past few days the girls had been staying at his house with the guys. He figured they'd probably still be there.

*Ring Ring*
"Hello"
"Hey Abs"
"Scott what's happening, is everything O.K?" Abs said all in one breath, obviously concerned. Scott had been with Alea this entire time and had only called once on the Sunday. Scott felt bad about that as soon as he heard Abs' concern. When he had called on the Sunday information was still very bleak. Most of the things Scott knew were only bad news. Scott could only imagine what must have been going through there heads since that call. Since Alea was in Intensive Care, only one person was allowed to be with her, and since she wasn't actually in a hospital room, there was no phone for them to get in touch with Scott. Before Scott began to answer Abs said "hold on a sec, let me put you on speaker" Scott heard a click then Abs say "okay Scott what's up?" Still with the same concern in his voice.
"I'm so sorry guys for not calling, It's just that so much stuff has been happening, and today's the first day I've actually left Alea's room. But don't worry I have great news. Alea is going to be fine. She's no longer on a resperator, and she woke up today. She'll probably be getting moved into a room tomorrow so you'll all be able to visit her tomorrow. I'm going to work things out tonight so hopefully you can visit tomorrow as soon as visiting hours start, which is around 7."
Scott could hear sighs of relief on the other end of the line
"How long is she going to have to stay?" Someone asked, Scott reconized the voice as Jessica's.
"The doctor said once she's totally up and eating, which I guess would be tomorrow. She will still have to stay for a week, since the bullet was removed early Saturday, and that's when her lung was fixed up. They want to make sure everything is okay, and give her time to recover, so you guys gotta give her lot's of presents tomorrow, and maybe you guys could get me one?"
"Scott you don't get anything, what do you possibly need??" He could here Candy laugh.
"Guys I need clothes!!" Scott said whining.
"No you don't you have tons of clothes, I should know there all over our room" Abs said also laughing
"Exactly! I have clothes THERE, I'm HERE!!!!" Scott whined as he looked at himself still fully dressed up from the party.
"Oh!" Marybeth said sympathetically "Your still in your clothes from Friday, don't worry Scott will bring you clothes, well we better get going, see you tomorrow Scott"
"Bye Guys" Scott said realived they knew what was happening, and also tomorrow he could change clothes!
