Andy, are you okay?

Yes! I'm checking on my mate's girlfriend...

What happened?

She was in a car accident.

Holy shit. Is everyone okay?

*snores from the chair by the hospital bed but jolts awake at hearing a voice. Blinks, confused*

I... I-I, uh.... Hi. *stands up* I'm... I'm John, Ava's sister... You are...?

You look just like her. I hope you're her brother though.

I'm Andy Longbottom. Ava's boyfriend's best friend/brother. My girlfriend is having her bachelorette party here so I'm town. How is Ava? James is just about dying with no news.

...Yes. S-sorry... I'm... I'm... y'know... This whole thing's got me... *stops and sighs* Lemme start over...

I'm John, Ava's brother... It's been... a long c-couple of days.

*lips twitch to a smile* Cool to meetcha... A-any friend of James is a friend of mine. *looks at his sister then at Andy* She's... she's stable. Gonna need some minor... plastic s-surgery for the scarring and... all that. I've... Shit... I've b-been meaning to get in t-touch with James... He's probably... pissed a-at me right now.

A little, but really just tense about his girl. *smiles* I'm glad to meet you too. I hear your planning to move out to LA soon.

She's stable... good. So she should be fine? Is she all doped now?

*nods* I am... for M-med school. *lips twitch again*

*sighs* Sorta... they've got her on some morphine... just enough to make her loopy... *looks at her* She was saying... some pretty cracked out stuff before. *looks at Andy* Something... about feeding the pig bacon and... something with Mexico and... Burritos.

Wow, Med school! Good luck with that.

Well, I'm sure that's expected, I mean did she have a concussion? When that happens aren't people know to say nonsensical phrases and stuff?

What exactly is her prognosis? Did she break any bones? I need to call James and let him know ASAP.

Th-thanks...

*nods* Concussion... Grade II Sprain to the left wrist... And just some scratches... But those'll be ok. *scratches head* They... th-hey were worried about... y'know... h-head trauma. But... she's... ok. Aside from the concussion.

*nods*
Well, it could have been a lot worse, don't you think? I'm glad she's okay. When do they expect to release her?

*nods* Coulda been... *shakes head* A lot worse.

Couple of days... three, at most...

Good good. When will she be... you know, awake?

Want to me bring you some food or anything man? You look like you haven't slept in days...

*looks at Ava* Dunno... Soon. Once the morphine's gone... *looks at the bag* Tomorrow... I hope.

*looks at him* It's... I-I had some... tea. From the... cafeteria. Uh... yesterday. *rubs face* I'm... It's ok... I... I imagine you've got... y'know. Other stuff... to do.

*nods* Hopefully she'll be able to handle it.

I really don't actually. My fiancee is at her bachlorette party. I've got to amuse myself. So how about it? You need food. What do you want?

It's... I feel... I feel bad... I'm not... gonna make you buy me food... or... y'know. *shifts* U-unless... unless you wanted to get some, too?

*Looks up*

Okay, hi. Who are you?

Gracie... he's... James' best friend... slash brother? I'm thinking... I'm thinking that might be a... "Yo, he's my brutha" type of brother, not... "from the same woman" brother.

I'm Andy Longbottom. James's isn't my biological brother, no, but we're brothers anyway. It's hard to explain and probably not worth it. Just use your imagination. *smiles* Who are you? A friend of Ava's?

I... sorta figured it was something like that. *tilts head* You could MAYBE pass for biological brothers... maybe half-brothers. *smiles* That's Gracie... my sister's oldest and closest friend.

*nods* Yep. Well... we're both scrawny, that's about it. I'm a bit more British though. *winks*

Hello Gracie. Great to know you.
