Noah Puckerman wants to shield himself from the brightness of the lights in his hospital room.The beeps from the machines were loud, and made everything all too real... that he was stuck here in a hospital bed. Hurt. Really, really, REALLY fucking hurt. The scenery of the meadow changes to the sight of this hospital room, that wasn't like any other. It wasn't all boring, drab and white, rather, it was colorful. There were all these... crayon drawings and balloon animals and stuffed monkeys, which would've made it more of a joy to wake up to.
Except there's all this pain.
It's almost as if it's not physical, rather, it was phantom. He expects himself to feel extreme pain, and so he does. There's all this bandaging around his wrist, and his right arm has changed drastically. His muscles are still there, but there's all these skin changes. The purple from the bruises that surrounded the abrasions and road rash had begun to fade away - but the sight is no less pleasant. Sure, battle wounds are awesome and all, but it's not because he went and saved a princess from pirates on a shipwreck. No. Dammnit - when he tells the story, he's going to embellish quite heavily.
His eyes flicker even more, opening fully, and his head pounds heavily, with it feeling like rocks falling on his head. If he had been standing, he would've fallen over to the floor, like a weakling. The machines with his vitals. The IV bags. And these other machines, which he can't remember the name of. He stares at them, and it's just all too much.
With a jolt, Puck tries to sit up, but his body refused to budge. Even though there was barely any movement, he felt real pain shoot up to his right collarbone, and he lets out a muffled scream. His mouth remains closed, as he makes more noise. He couldn't bear to open his mouth, to really let it all out, because he was much too stubborn to show the great deal of pain. He doesn't want to be here, no, he wants to get out. Feeling this trapped, unable to move without feeling all this pain, was unbearable. Two doctors come rushing into the room, going to each side of the bed. The male Hispanic doctor grabs onto one of the tubes, pushing the dial. Almost immediately, he feels the warm liquid in his body, the pain beginning to lessen slightly. "Don't move," he says sternly, Puck wanting to scoff at him and roll his eyes. But he's a doctor, a man that he's seen once or twice before, "We're gonna tell your family and friends that you're awake."
Puck's voice comes out scratchy and barely inaudible, originally, and he keeps trying to speak. But he can't and it's incredibly hard. Even clearing his throat hurts, but he does so anyway. "Where's mom? Sarah? I wanna..." He asks quietly, almost too quietly, but the doctor leans in slightly to hear.
"They went to get dinner off hospital properly, as they were growing tired of living off vending machine snacks."
Puck wants to chuckle at that statement, but he can't. It hurts to even laugh, though it's minuscule "What 'bout them, the pain in the... uh, you know which ones. What 'bout 'em?" He asks, his voice still scratchy, wanting to see his best friends.
"We can bring them in in fifteen minutes, ensuring the checkups go well. But we must proceed with extreme caution."
