tatum wasn’t exactly sure how it happened, the last thing she remembered was laughing at one of lukes dumb jokes and then the screeching of the breaks as they tried to stop. everything after that was a blur, she wasn’t exactly sure where she was or how it happened all she knew is that the first thing she saw when she opened up her eyes was the bright lights coming through her eyelids, blinding her for a second. she tried to lift herself up but her whole body just felt heavy.
when her eyes adjusted nicely to the setting, she realized where she was, the hospital. that in itself almost sent her into panic mode. the IV stuck in her arm and the obnoxious beeping of the monitors only made her head pound. not to mention the off grey color of the room that was honestly just gloomy and depressing, nothing like a room that motivated anyone to feel better.
fumbling around with her IV free arm, she found the remote to lift the bed up and for the tv that was hanging inside the wall. it wasn’t until the bed started bending her legs she noticed the fact she didn’t feel the same cotton bed sheets on the back of her left calf as she did the right one. her chest started to tighten, pulling the blanket back quickly from her legs, her eyes connected with hospital bandages wrapped around where they amputated her leg from the knee down. “shit... shit...” she stammered feeling herself slipping into panic mode only setting the monitors off on a frenzy, hot tears running down her face.
