I woke up in in a white room, that smelt of disinfectant. A woman in a light blue uniform was writing something on a clipboard, and I had a tube coming out of my hand. 'where am I?' I asked 'you're in hospital, you had a nasty cut on your leg and bumped your head.' she replied,'he's been here since you came back from your operation, first time I have seen him sleeping.' she said, nodding towards Adam. It all came rushing back to me then, the bomb and the enemy soldiers. I whimpered. Adam stirred and rubbed his eyes. 'you're awake,' he said sleepily, then came over and kissed my head. 'so, you waited for me to wake up then' I said cheerfully 'well I felt bad about what happened, couldn't leave you twice could I...the little girl you saved, she's fine' he replied 'that's good' I mumbled 'she's been moved to a refugee camp, anyway I have to go now... I might see you later' and he left. I felt an intense dull ache, and I thought maybe they aren't giving me enough painkiller before I realised that it was coming from deep within my chest. He only stayed because he felt he owed me something, I felt a sob rise in my throat, but quickly squashed it down because the nurse had just come back in. Noticing my pained expression she said,'oh honey, is it hurting you, here I'll give you this to ease the pain.' She slipped a needle in my arm and then all I could see was black.
