When I looked at Joe lying on his bed without any movements, I walked after two hours of being there to buy coffee. When I was coming back, I meet Marcus, and then he said to me, "you are still here."
"Yes," I said.
"Go back home," he said to me. While hearing him, I passed him, and then I walked back to Joe room. When I opened the doors, he grabbed my hand, and then he said, "home now, I'm driving you there."
"You need to stay here," I said to him.
"I have a break, so I can do this," he said, and when I looked at him, he was still holding me. While seeing it, I said, "OK, but inform me. When something will change."
"OK," he said, and when I followed him, we go to his car not long after, and then he drove me back home. While being alone now there, I sit on the couch, and while still holding coffee from the hospital, I drank it a little. When I had done this, tears started going down my cheek. While feeling it, I cleaned my face, and then I walked to the bed to sleep.
In a hospital. (Joe POV)
When I tried to open my eyes, I couldn't do this. While feeling it, I wanted to move my hand, but it was blocked too. While feeling it, I tried to say something, but only some sound escape from them. While it happened, I started moving, and while I was doing it, someone come inside and then started screaming, "he is awake."
"OK." Marcus' words come to me not long after, and while I could do nothing, I could only hear that someone come to me. When I felt water in my mouths, which disappeared almost immediately, I could say only, "more."
"OK," he said, and when I drank more, I could feel now better, and then he said, "you are in the hospital. How are you feeling?"
"Nothing in pain," I said, and when I take a deep breath, I added, "but I can't see and move at all."
"Oh, your face is so swollen, so it's normal soon it, should go away and all your body is in bandages," he said.
"OK, what has happened," I asked while I couldn't remember anything from the time when I walked out of ramen place.
"You was attacked. Do you know by whom?" he asked.
"No, I can only remember that after work I went to eat and while I was coming back someone hit me, and then they attacked me," I said while remembering what has happened after walking out, but I couldn't remember the rest.
"You were attacked, not far away from your house, good that I wanted to contact you, and medic answered, so you come here," he said.
"I don't have money," I said.
"It's paid," he said.
"Thanks," I said.
"No problem," he said, and then I could feel something in my hand. While having it, he said, "it's to call nurse use it, when you will need it."
"OK," I said to him. While hearing me, he said, "OK, I will be going."
"OK," I said, and when he walked away, I lay on the bed while I couldn't fall asleep. While I was there, I could hear that someone come and walked away. While hearing it, I said nothing, but I only listen to what was happening. As I don't know how long has passed since I woke up. While I couldn't see, I could feel that sun slowly started getting up while it started shining on my face.
While it was happening, I started slowly feeling pain coming from my knee. While feeling it, for now, I started not thinking about it as I had it daily when the weather change. As it slowly started rising and started coming from other places, I touched what Marcus left me, and as nothing has happened, I keep doing it.
As I was doing it, more and more, slowly I could feel that soon I will die from it. When it was happening at one point, I couldn't even move my finger as it was in pain, too. While it was all happening, I started making some sound just to let someone hear me. While it was happening, I could feel that soon I will pass out from the pain.
Earlier in a Megan place. (Megan POV)
When I wake up, I looked at my face thanks to my phone, and while seeing that my eyes are red from crying while sleeping. While seeing it, I used a little makeup after using the bathroom, and when I changed, I walked out to check how is Joe, and then drive to work. When I go to the car, I go to the hospital, and as I walked to his room, I could hear that he was making some sounds. While hearing it, I come to him, and when I looked at him, I could see that he is stiff and doesn't move at all. As I observed him, I could see that his finger slowly moves to the controller in his hand. While seeing it, I touched it, and as nothing has happened, I go out, and then I screamed "help."
While hearing me, a nurse comes, and when not long after her, the doctor comes too. While being there, he started checking Joe. When he was doing it, he looked at the nurse, and when he had done something there, he said: "now it's good."
"What has to happen?" I asked.
"Are you a member of his family?" he asked.
"No," I said.
"So please come out," he said, and when the nurse started taking me out, I take my phone, and as I started calling Marcus. When I was doing it, he answered at one point, and while having a sleepy voice, he said, "what has happened."
"Joe," I said.
"I'm going there," he said, and when I hang out, I could see not long after Marcus rushing here. While I observed him, he said, "I will know soon."
"OK," I said to him, and when he walked inside, I started waiting for him to come back.
