Knock! Knock!
I wake up to the sound of knocking.
Knock! Knock!
Zane: "Yes, come in."
A nurse walks in.
Nurse: "Good morning."
Zane: "Good morning."
Nurse: "Seems you boys slept well," she says as she walks toward my mom, meanwhile stepping over Felix who's on the ground.
Zane: "Felix, what the hell!"
I get off the chair, stretch, and head to Felix, gently kicking his leg. He doesn't respond immediately, so I kick it a little bit harder.
Felix: "What?!"
Zane: "Why are you sleeping on the ground?"
Felix: "Huh?"
Zane: "Why are you sleeping on the hospital floor?"
Felix: "Oh yeah. I don't know why, but the floor is just more comfortable," he says as he stands up and stretches.
Zane: "You wake up Matt and Maverick, I will wake up Drey."
Felix: "Alright."
Nurse: "You guys can sleep more if you want. I'm just here to check up on your mother," she says as she brings out a syringe and inserts it into the IV bag.
Zane: "Nah, we have to get going soon anyway," I say as I tap Drey.
Drey: "Mmm, what?"
Zane: "It's seven."
Drey: "Oh, shoot."
Matt: "Why is that so loud?"
Drey: "My bad, my bad. Oh shoot, it's Jay," he says as he steps out of the room.
Gabe starts twitching before he wakes up.
Gabe: "Morning."
Zane: "Morning. Hurry and use the bathroom before we head out."
Gabe: "Alright," he says as he heads to the bathroom.
Felix: "I will go use the bathroom too."
Matt: "Same here."
Maverick: "Same."
Zane: "Morning."
Mrs. McCollin: "Morning. Y'all heading out?"
Zane: "Yup, but don't worry. We will visit soon."
Mrs. McCollin: "I know y'all will. Just be careful."
Zane: "We will."
Mrs. McCollin: "May GOD be with you."
Zane: "Amen."
Drey: "We gotta head back. Where are the others?"
Zane: "The bathroom."
Drey: "Good morning, ma."
Mrs. McCollin: "Morning, my son. Hope you slept well."
Drey: "That I did."
Mrs. McCollin: "Please, keep watching after them. GOD will give you strength."
Drey: "Amen."
Maverick: "Are you guys ready?"
Drey: "Not yet, let me use the bathroom first."
Zane: "Yeah, same here. Where's Matt and Gabe?"
Maverick: "They are on their way."
Drey: "Alright, tell them to say goodbye and meet us downstairs. We will be using the bathroom there."
