Everything during the car ride to the hospital was a blur. I was in and out of consciousness, of course. That's really all I remember, other than someone holding me.

Who that was, out of everyone, I couldn't really tell.

When I finally came to, I was in the hospital. I must've had internal bleeding because I heard the doctor say something along those lines. I wanted to sit up. I really did. But I couldn't move, it really hurt. So I just laid there.

"Doctor," I heard a familiar voice. "She's awake."

"M... Mom...?"

"Oh, good, you're up." I looked over at the doctor. "How are you feeling, Skylar?"

"Like I just got run over by a motherfucking truck."

"SKYLAR ELIZABETH AFTON." I immediately flinched and looked at dad. "What did I tell you about your language!?"

"I forgot?"

"You're grounded."

"I- What!?"

"You heard me!" I groaned.

"Will." Both dad and I turned to mom. "She's a teenager."

"But-"

"No. Mike said worse at her age. Did we ground him?"

"... No..."

"Then we aren't grounding her, either."

"Fine." I silently sighed in relief before looking over at mom.

"SISSY!" I suddenly yelped as Chris jumped onto the bed, and in turn me.

"OW! Chris, that hurt!"

"Oh, sorry!!" Chris got off of me, and I tried to stand.

"Oh no you don't." The doctor stopped me from moving. "You can sit up, just don't try to stand yet."

"Uh... Okay...?" I just sat where I was after that. Then I felt someone running their fingers through my hair.

"You okay, sweetie?" I heard mom ask from behind me.

"Yeah, mom, I'm fine... Just very sore..."

"I'm sorry, Sky." I sighed and just rested my head on her shoulder.

"It's fine... I just wanted to go to school, mom..."

"I know... And you will. As soon as you're better." She pulled me into a gentle hug, and I sighed.

"I really don't like hospitals..."

"I know, but they're necessary." I looked at Chris and ruffled his hair.

"Sky!" He giggled. "No touching my hair!!"

"Oh yeah? How are you gonna stop me???" He immediately got up and walked over to dad. "... Oh. That's how." I groaned. "Doc, can I-"

"Not unless you can stand without feeling dizzy or weak." At that moment, I actually wanted to knock myself out.

"I'm fine, Doc, just sore..."

"Okay. Prove it." I tried to pull myself to my feet, only to groan as I realized that he was right. "That's what I thought."

"No, I'm- I'm fine." I tried to play it off.

"Skylar. Stay seated." I forced myself to stand.

"See, guys? I'm okay." I took a step forward, only to fall right on my face. "Ow- I'm okay!" I stood again.

"You're one stubborn teenager." The doctor deadpanned.

"Yeah, I know." I quipped in response. "You can thank dad for that."

"Hey! You're way more stubborn than I was!" I laughed.

"SKY!" I yelped as I was tackled to the ground.

"OW! EMMA!"

"That was too much, Em!"

"Sorry! I'm just really happy that she's okay...!"

"She shouldn't be standing up."

"Then why is she out of bed?"

"Because she's stubborn." I gently pushed Emma off and pulled myself back up.

"Did Emma make it hurt more??" I shook my head.

"No, Luka, I'm fine."

"Okay, good. Sorry she tackled you."

"Nah, it's fine." I giggled. "Wait, where's-"

"In another wing." My mouth formed an O.

"All because he's an inhuman."

"Unfortunately, the higher ups haven't changed that rule." I groaned.

"Is that wing restricted to people like him visiting only...?"

"No, you can go there to see him. He can come here to see you, too." I sighed in relief.

"Okay... I wanna go see him..."

"Alright, I'll take you." I looked at everyone else.

"Are you all coming, too...?"

"Yeah, of course we are. He helped get you here." Emma wrapped my arm around her shoulder, and we all walked to the inhuman wing of the hospital. For Bendy.

#

When we reached the room he was in, we stopped. A doctor was in the room, but Bendy looked worse than he had after the attack from the violent protest. I swear, that doctor better not be hurting him...

"Hey!" The doctor in the room froze before he could continue what he was doing. He was about to inject something into the saline bag hanging by the medical bed. "What do you think you're doing!?"

"UM... Nothing, I gotta go!" The doctor ran off quickly, and something felt really off.

"Is he okay...?" Doctor Bradley, who was the doctor I had, went in and checked on him.

"Yeah, he's fine." I sighed in relief.

"Thank god..."

"... Except for the stuff that doctor did to him."

"Huh?" I looked. "Did he... Try to kill him...!?"

"He did." My eyes went wide. "Luckily for him, we walked in before that doctor could finish the job. He should wake up soon." I hope he does... I want him to be okay... I sighed.

"That's good." I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Sky? He's gonna be fine." I looked behind me, at mom. "Just trust Dr. Bradley."

"Okay..." I looked at Bendy again. His pie-cut eyes slowly started to open in confusion.

"What... When did I fall asleep...!?"

"You don't remember falling asleep?" Those beautiful pie-cut eyes landed on Dr. Bradley.

"Um... No... When did you get here...? Where's Dr. Garrison...!?"

"He left after we caught him trying to kill you..."

"He- WHAT!?"

"Way to put it bluntly, doc." Now those pie-cut eyes were gazing directly into mine.

"Sky...!?"

"Hi...!" After he realized I was there, he looked at everyone else.

"Wait- You're allowed in here...!?"

"Yep. Thank Dr. Bradley." I smiled. "How are you...?"

"... I feel like I got hit by something really heavy."

"Yeah, that sounds about right."

"You're all going to be just fine."

"You think so?"

"Yep."

"... So when can we check out?"

"When you're well enough to stand without having to lean on your friend."

"Harsh."

"He's kinda right though, Sky."

"Wha- Emma, you traitor." Emma just laughed.

"Hey, I had to help you walk!" I groaned. "Why are you so stubborn?"

"Again, blame dad." Dad laughed.

"Hey!"

"Oh my god, this woman." Luka laughed.

"I just wanna rest at home. I don't like hospitals..."

"I don't think anyone does, really, but they're very necessary."

"Doc, can't we just take her home and watch her?"

"You'd have to sign an ADA, but yeah, you can."

"Where is he!?" All of a sudden, a voice broke through the air as footsteps approached the room. "Where's Bendy!?"

"Is that-"

"JOEY, SLOW DOWN, GODDAMMIT!" Another voice yelled out.

"!? Dad!? Henry!?" I turned to the door and saw two men run in.

One of the men had brown hair and brown eyes. He looked tired as all hell and was out of breath.

The other had brown hair as well, but his eyes were blue. He looked wide awake, but also looked very worried, like the man beside him. Both men were out of breath, like they ran all the way to the hospital.

"Oh thank god, you're okay." The blue eyed man, who I assume to be Joey, had a very gruff voice. "You... Are okay, right?"

"I'm sure he's fine, Joey." The other man, Henry, had a smoother voice. "I mean, look, he's sitting up just fine."

"Excuse me, but you two can't just barge in here!" Dr. Bradley was annoyed, I could hear it in his voice.

"Well I'm sorry my creation was attacked, excuse me!" Henry rested a hand on Joey's shoulder.

"Calm down, old friend." Joey took a deep breath before letting it back out.

"Okay. I'm calm. But that's my kid they fucking attacked."

"Excuse me, your kid wasn't the only one they attacked!"

"Dad, please don't get into another argument-"

"Well I'm sorry. Okay? I forgot that three other kids were attacked, too. I was just making sure my own kid was alright."

"Well don't go acting like he was the only one that they attacked!"

"Here we go."

"Excuse me!? Did I say he was the only one they attacked!?"

"Will, calm down."

"He was acting like Bendy's the only victim!"

"Will!"

"Dad, please-"

"Alright, stop fighting or you're getting removed." Both dad and Joey looked at Dr. Bradley. "Yes, I mean both of you."

"Wait, I just- Why are you-"

"My daughter wanted to see Ben. He did help us get her here alive, after all."

"... That sounds like him."

"Yeah, and they are going to Edgewood together."

"They are?" Joey looked over at Bendy. "Wait, is this the girl??"

"Huh?" I also looked over at him.

"Yeah, that's her..." Bendy looked away, and I could've sworn he was blushing.

"Oh, now I see why you guys are all here." All of a sudden, Joey's eyes lit up in recognition. "Hang on, you didn't mention she was William Afton's daughter!"

"You're just realizing who that is!?" Henry shouted.

"My bad, Henry! Jeez!" I elbowed Emma to try and get her to take me out of the room without anyone realizing. She got the hint and slowly backed away from everyone. "I was focused on my kid, not on William's identity!"

"Speaking of kids, isn't that the mayor's son over there?" As everyone focused their gaze on Luka, Emma and I walked away from them and out to the waiting room.

Then, we bumped into someone.
