The Gathering 01.43 –  How Do We Deal? Pt 7 – Dissolve

            Her eyes fluttered opened; then closed just as quickly; she tried to think of where she was.  She took in a breath, and it hurt.  What had happened?  That guy with the scalpel.  He must have cut her when he’d tried to swipe at her; he hadn’t just tried.  He’d succeeded.  She hurt, she heard someone in the room.  C.J.  She was dead; and the ***** god was being funny and not letting her open her eyes.  *****, let me wake up and see C.J.  I have to tell her that they cancelled Angel those *****.  Ouch, ouch, merde, sacre bleu, ouch.  She felt a shiver run up her spine. 

            “Samantha?”  It was C.J.’s voice, yeah she was dead. Oh Shane I’m so sorry we didn’t get the chance.  To just be; us.  We’d always had too much drama, death, lost, and not enough love.  I’m sorry Shane.  I promise to make it up to you in another life.  I swear.  Shane.

            “Sam? Wake up, can you hear me?”  Sam thought to herself yeah I can hear you.  I just can’t talk, did you see?  They killed Fred too.  C.J.  Help me, I can’t wake up. 

            “Sam, open your eyes.”  It was Shane, WAIT she wasn’t dead.  All right Vance open those eyes up.  You’re in la la land from all the drugs fight it you Girlfight butch ***** *****.  Then she did.

            She saw Shane and C.J. no it was Jayden.  Lara was there too and Marty.  Good ole Marty, she wondered how his date had gone. 

            “Did you two hit it off?”  Sam asked Marty her voice a bit deeper than usual and he rolled his eyes and walked to the end of the bed.

            “You almost bleed to death, get your rib cage virtually extracted and you want to know if I hit it off with Kit?!?”  He said rubbing his handsome face with his right hand and Sam nodded weakly.

            “At least one of us would have had a good day.”  Sam said weakly grabbed Shane‘s hand with her right, blinking and seeing that her left was well bandaged.  Some of the pain was coming from there.  Where else, Marty said rib, oh yeah, that ached like a rotting tooth too.  “What happened?”  She asked Jayden who had her chart in her hand.  Her head was clearing quickly and she saw the look in Shane’s eyes.  Poor baby, Sam thought.  We’re they ever going to have it easy?
