Marshall sat in the room Jamie was wheeled into after he got his stomach pumped...Or whatever it was they needed to do to fix him. Maddie was on her way, Gabe's phone must've died or something, since the phonecall Moosh had tried to do hadn't gone through....
He tapped his foot nervously, alone, except for the beeping of the machines...

In the hospital bed lay a barely recognizable Jamie. His skin was a sickly pale-green, his lips blue, his shoulder-length brown hair sticking to his neck and face.
If it weren't for the beeping of the machines signaling a pulse, you'd have thought he was dead.
Maddie entered the room, wiping her tear-stained face with the backs of her hands.
"Has he woken up yet?" She asked Moosh.

Marshall just shook his head silently.
In a way, he was blaming himself... Even if the brace was off...

"I should've paid more attention to him. I could've prevented this." Maddie sighed.
"This is all my fault."

"No, it's mine." Marshall corrected, barely audible.
"I wouldn't let him h... And then he came over and seemed so different... But I didn't say anything..."

"Oh, Marshall." Maddie leaned down and hugged him.
"You couldn't have known. It's not your fault."

Marshall's face and voice were blank.
"He gave me his stuff."

Maddie took a deep breath and ruffled Moosh's hair.
"It wasn't your responsibility to bear."

"Shouldn't he be awake by now?"

Maddie bit her lip.
"I don't know. The doctor said it could be a... A couple days, maybe longer, if he wakes up at all."

Marshall felt his breathing quicken... Awake at all? Suddenly, the hospital was feeling bone-crushingly small.
"I c... I can't st-stay here."
He jumped up and rushed out the door.
