26th May 2012

I woke up this morning to the sound of the radio "Somebody that I used to know" was playing. I don't like that song but I don't know why. . .

Anyway I didn't get much sleep last night I was trying to get my head around everything that had happened yesterday from me foreseeing Sam falling down the elevator shaft, to actually meeting her. It was so strange to think that I, a socially awkward teenager (well that's what Shaun says anyway) managed to save a persons life.

The hospital room seemed brighter today and I felt the best I had since the crash. When I was asleep the nurses had been in and changed the flowers in the vase next to me and opened the curtains so wide the the sunlight engulfed the room. I turned over and glanced at the clock, 7.45. The nurses would be round with the breakfast menu's soon. Today I was particularly hungry which was odd because I was never hungry in the morning.

I removed the blanket that covered me and walked towards the window and just as I did this there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" I called and in came my mother who was being wheeled by Dad. "MOM!" I ran over and gave her a hug. She looked tired and I looked at her leg as discretely as possible. It was covered in plaster and the cast stretched all the way up to her waist.
"Are you ok sweetheart?" muttered my mother drowsily. The medication caused drowsiness and I could see her eyelids fluttering open and then closing. She looked very distracted and my father sat next to her watching intently. I could tell he was worried about her and I could see the guilt of the crash, eating away at him every time he looked at my mother and me.
"Yes I am fine but what about you?" I said crouching next to her and holding her hand. She turned her head, smiled and brushed my fringe behind my ear. By doing this she revealed the purple bruise on my forehead and looked me in the eyes,
"I'm fine but are you sure your ok? How's your head?" She questioned. I couldn't tell her about Sam and what had happened, she'd worry and I couldn't have her worrying about me while she was recovering herself. She glared at my father like it was his fault that I was hurt.

"Love I think we need to get back to your room.The nurses will be wondering where we are." My father gave a feeble smile and began to push my mothers wheelchair out into the hall.
"Dad!" I called "It's-It's not your fault,you do know that don't you?" I asked.
"I know but I can't help but feel responsible." He leaned towards me,kissed my forehead and continued to push my mother.

I collapsed onto my bed and searched in my pocket for the number Sam gave to me yesterday. I fumbled around with my hand on the bedside cabinet for my phone and I typed the number in my phone.
"Do you want to meet me? I'M SOOO BORED!!!!!" I pressed send and placed my phone down next to me. I lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling and I replayed the images from last night when I met Sam and how I saved her life and a lot of questions circulated round my head but one over powered the rest:How?
How was it that I knew it was going to happen? How did I see it before it happened?
BEEP.
I glanced at my phone, it was Sam.

"Sure :) What room you in?" She replied.
"Room 16 :)" I texted back. I got off the bed and tidied up the pile of clothes that lay still on the floor at the bottom of my bed. Someone knocked on my door with a catchy beat to it. "COME IN!" I called as I shoved the pile of clothes behind the chair. Sam poked her head around the door and came in. I walked over and she was holding a box of chocolates from the hospital convenience store on the floor down.
"For me?" I asked.
"Yeah..." She said " You saved my life! You didn't think I wouldn't get you anything for it did you?" She joked and she ran and jumped onto my bed. I slowly walked over and sat next to her on the bed. Sam looked around the room and said " I hate hospitals." She said. I nodded in agreement as I opened the chocolates she brought for me I took a caramel one and placed it in my mouth and then gestured towards Sam to help herself.

Her hand hovered on top of the box for a few minutes before she picked out a orange cream which was a good thing because I wouldn't have eaten that one anyway. So what were you doing down by the lifts last night?" Scoffed Sam whose mouth was full of chocolate. I looked down and messed with the duvet and replied sheepishly,
"Nothing, just wandering..." Sam looked at me and burst into laughter with little bits of chocolate flying out of her mouth. I looked up and she said
" You don't expect me to believe that do you?" Chuckled Sam "Oh yes I was just wandering!" She mimicked. I couldn't help but laugh because now that I had heard it, it sounded ridiculous. "But seriously why were you down there?"
I wasn't sure whether I should tell her but more importantly how would I tell her "I was down there because I saw you fall to your death earlier that day." I couldn't tell her that it would creep her out and I don't have many friends so its nice to have another one.

"I-I..." I stuttered. Sam stared at me intently. I looked up into her eyes "I had a vision that you died at eight forty five yesterday and I had to check if if was true or not!" I blurted out and clapped my hands to my mouth. Sam looked at me and her eyes filled with water.She stood up and walked slowly towards the window with her arms crossed over her chest.
"I am so sorry..."I whispered. She turned to look at me and I looked down at the floor and tucked my hair behind my ear.
"Y-You saw me die?" questioned Sam "And you had to see if it was true! W-When were you going to tell me?" I opened my mouth trying to form a word. I didn't know what to say.It was true I was curious to see if what I saw was real and saving her had not crossed my mind before I got there because I did not think it was true. Sam turned to me "I don't believe you, you can't of seen me die because I am still here!"Sam said defiantly. She paced up and down trying to get her head around what I had told her. I tried to put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her but she slapped it away. I felt awful and I wanted to comfort Sam but I am the one who caused her to feel like this. Everytime I looked at me I saw she was horrified and
Suddenly the door opened and my father walked in,"Oh, i'm sorry i'll come back later Luce."  Sam stormed over to the bed and swung her bag over her shoulder.
"No it's fine,I was just leaving." She said as she barged passed me and left the room. My father glanced at me and after Sam "Have I missed something?" he joked.
"Kind of..."  replied

"Dad..."
"Yeah Luce?" He said as he walked over to the window and placed his arm around my shoulders. I looked up to him as the sunset painted his face orange and he squinted as he looked out of the window into the distance. He was looking so intensely it was like he was entering a place of his own,where he could forget about the guilt and stresses;a place of solitude. I liked to be alone, it gave me time to think and imagine a place where there was nothing to worry about, just yourself. Dad and I both enjoy solitude and that's why we get along so well He continued to stare but from his lips he whispered "What is it Luce?" He hugged me tighter and I started sobbing into his coat which brought me some comfort.His concentration on the view outside faded and he turned to me as he heard the muffled  cries coming from his coat. "Tell me."
This is uncompleted but I will update it when I add to the chapter :D

Only minor but make sure there are no spaces between speech marks and the words.
Second... you can add in some semi-colons but I'm too lazy to find where.
