Bed Rest (Open RP.)

[a_time_slip]

Normally, staying in one spot for too long would make Janie restless. For the past week or so, however, she barely got out of bed. There was a walk twice a day, and a shower. The rest of the time was spent sleeping or chatting with a friend.

The events of that evening still went through her mind, and she was sure no one else had forgotten either. She knew Ian hadn't forgotten. Today she slept fitfully, asking for Ian or Kelly whenever she woke. Those two meant so much to her- she had to make sure they were safe.

The stitches bothered her, and she wanted another dose of pain killers, when she realized someone else was in the room with her. After a moment of confusion she plastered a smile on her face and tried to set aside the thoughts that were still in her head.

"Hi..."

((ooc: A regrouping/visit thread at Janie's and Ian's house. Thread jumping and random drop ins are fine :D))

"You're welcome." She smiled, then glanced around the room. "S'nice. I mean, for a hospital."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"It's okay." Janie wasn't happy there.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Saxsice can guess that. "Well, isn't for forever."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Right." She sighed. "I'll get out of here eventually."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"And be all better'n stuff, right?"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Right. Better."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Well, by "better" I mean not actively bleeding or in pain."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"I can't wait for that." Janie admitted "I'm not bleeding, though. I lost a lot of blood when... I got shot. I had to get a transfusion."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Yeah." She makes a face. "Blood transfusions are no fun."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"You had them before?"

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Once or twice. Ryan had a ton of them back in...February? Around then."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't need more does he?"

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Nah, he got one from Az which was like...the blood transfusion to end all blood transfusions. He's set."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Ian gave me mine." She was quiet for a moment. "Glad he's going to be okay."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

She bites her lip. "Was he...hurt bad?"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"I meant that Ryan's going to be okay... Ian wasn't hurt as bad as I was. He... lost blood, but he was just injured on his side, and his leg got hurt a little more. I don't know what I'd do if he died because of me. If anyone..."

"Oh, yeah, of course, kid's like...made outta rubber, he'll bounce back." She frowned a little. "Well, it's good that he's all right...and don't worry. Nobody did."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"That was a miracle." Janie frowned.

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Just wasn't any of our times."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"...Right."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Right. To get existential on you."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"I remember dying there, Saxie. In the garage... Before Phoenix was able to do much of anything. I could see all of you and what was going on."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Slow blink. "...really?"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Everything got cold... then, all of the pain stopped. Everything felt very nice, and I wasn't worried about anything that was happening. Ian was terribly angry, and people were shooting and dying. My Mother was... on the ground. You were behind a car, and got shot at, then you came over next to me. After that, whatever Phoenix was doing worked, because everything hurt again."

She hadn't shared all of that with anyone yet, and looked away from Saxsice when she was done.

She listened, quietly, silent for a moment once Janie had finished.

"...were you relieved?"
