"Quick! Get him through!"

That's what Baekhyun heard when gained some consciousness. His eyes fluttered open and pain gushed over him like never before.

His vision was blurry and fuzzy and it took him a moment to realise he was crying.

Baekhyun quickly scanned what was happening around him because he knew he was slowly loosing energy and soon he would black out once more. People in pale green outfits were standing each side of him, some had masks.

It half seemed like a crazy, terrifying dream.

Baekhyun was being pushed along corridors on a bed with wheels and even though he wasn't moving himself, every inch of him was stinging with pain. He hurt so much all over and it was draining him every second.

At this moment, Baekhyun wished he would loose consciousness, he wanted it to hurt less.

Baekhyun closed his wet eyes and felt himself slipping away again. He didn't wake up again until 5 hours later.

Baekhyun lay in a hospital room all alone. There were other beds but there were no signs of anyone in them. He didn't know whether he preferred it like this or not.

He had only just opened his eyes again and realised he was in a different part of the hospital. Sad thing was that there was no one else with him.

Baekhyun's eyes roamed around where he was lying and saw one of his legs were being propped up while the rest of his body was under a single sheet. His arms were by his side, all battered and bruised. He didn't dare to look anywhere else.

Although he tried to avoid it, Baekhyun's heart beat sped up within an instant as he took heavy breaths, in and out. He was panicking and couldn't control it.  The monitor next to his head began to making bleeping sounds and as his heartbeat quickened, so did the beeping.

That was when two nurses rushed in and immediately checked on his health.  After they realised what the situation was, they instantly calmed him down by holding his hand telling him to 'take deep breaths'.

"I.. I don't understand" Baekhyun breathed out with a shaky breath. "Why am... I here?"

The nurse holding his hand gave the other a small nod as though that was a signal for her to leave. The woman turned back to Baekhyun.
"You had an accident." She said with sympathetic eyes.

"Oh god"

"There was another car involved, people who witnessed it said it wasn't your fault. They claim the man was drunk"

Baekhyun wanted to sit up. He wanted to sit up and get out of this damn bed and run out of the damn hospital. But as soon as he tried to even move a muscle, every part of his body ached and hurt is so many different ways. Parts felt sore, some stung, some just obvious pain.
The nurse immediately held Baekhyuns shoulders, trying to get him to stay still.

"It's okay, don't move. It'll hurt more. Just relax your body and try and get some rest."

"I-I don't want to be here.." Baekhyun stuttered, eyes turning glossy. "I want to go home!"

"I'm sorry, that won't be possible right now. You're going to have to stay under our care right now, you've been injured pretty badly." The nurse did her best to give her most comforting smile before she stood up. It didn't help but Baekhyun thanked her for trying. "I'll be back in later, Baekhyun."

Suddenly, Baekhyun was all alone again before he could object or ask any more questions. He dug his teeth into his bottom lip as he felt tears glide down his cheeks.

Baekhyun stayed awake the best he could until the nurse came back in. It felt like the energy in his body had been drained but no matter how much he tried he couldn't get any sleep.

The nurse came back in with a doctor, who carried a clip board and multiple pens in his pocket. He took note of things as he looked at Baekhyun, then began asking him questions to do with the accident like 'can you remember what you were doing before it happened?' Or 'where were you heading?' And so on.

Baekhyun answered the questions the best he could even if it felt as though they were interrogating someone who has no clue what's going on. He found himself replying with 'I don't know' a lot and often 'I don't remember'. Baekhyun passed it over as nerves because he would definitely admit to saying he was terryfied and anxious right now. He was in trauma, everyone is bound to forget things after an experience like this.

Half way through the interrogation, another woman opened the door and leant round to look in. "Doctor Lee, a man is insisting he should come in—"

"Is he family?" The doctor interrupted, eyes still on his paper.

"No but—"

"Then don't let him in." Doctor Lee said sternly before dismissing the lady. She disappeared and left the three together.
Meanwhile, Baekhyun had perked up at the word family.

"Is my family coming?" He asked, blinking his wet eyelashes.

Doctor Lee sighed and met the younger son eyes "soon. We're still trying to contact them."

"We will notify you when we get hold of them" the nurse smiled.

"Ok" Baekhyun mumbled quietly.

"I'm going to carry on with the questions now, Baekhyun, if that's ok?"

Baekhyun wet his lips and nodded,despite wanting to say no.

It was around 10:30 at night when Baekhyun lay in the same bed with the same nurse sat by the side of him. She could see he wanted company, he didn't want to be alone. It also gave Baekhyun time to ask all the questions he's been wanting to ask ever since he woke up.

"How long will I have to stay here?" He asked quietly.

"It depends on your injuries." She replied calmly. "But looking at yours, especially your leg, you might only have to stay three months, at the very least."

Baekhyuns mouth dropped. "Three months?!"

"Don't worry about that now, honey, it'll go quick I promise."

"Do i have to spend all of the three months in this bed?"

"No, but unfortunately it will be most of it. Once it comes to the time you'll be able move around the hospital instead of being stuck in here all day" the nurse said, the smile she wore faltering a fraction. "But I can't guarantee you'll be using your legs straight away."

"W-what?" Baekhyun swallowed hard. He had forgotten about what serious injuries could do to you, he had forgotten what could happen to him. "What do... what do you mean I won't be using my l-legs?"

"Although your injuries aren't the most serious on the scale, they are pretty damaging. It's going to take you a while until you will be walking again. We'll get you a wheelchair to start with so you can move out of this room, then you'll have crutches."

Tears swelled up in his eyes as he couldn't control his emotions. Baekhyun didn't want to be stuck here for three months—he didn't even know if they will ever be able to contact his family. Will his family visit him? Baekhyun hoped they would.

After the nurse saw Baekhyuns tears threatening to fall, she leant her hand on his scratched arm and said: "don't think about it all too much. Rest your eyes and get some sleep. I'm sorry I shouldn't have told you all of this so quickly"

Baekhyun shook his head before looking to the side, at anything but her eyes because it was embarrassing enough to be crying in front of someone.
"It's ok." He said "I'd rather you tell me sooner..."

She removed her hand and stood, lingering around for a moment. Then she walked towards the door and switched the lights off in the hospital room, leaving Baekhyun with only a small dim lamp by the side of his bed to see with. He watched by the door, where he knew she was even though he couldn't see her.

"Sleep well Baekhyun"
