Summary: The aftermath of a car accident.

Sam felt like there was a clock inside her head. It was almost all she could hear, lately. Just the counting down of days, hours, minutes, seconds.

It was more like a time bomb than a clock, really.

It had been three weeks, four days, and approximately 37 minutes since Brooke faded out of consciousness and into a coma. Her chance of recovery had already been downgraded from “probable” to “possible,” and if they hit five weeks, it would jump down to “slim.”

“You have to wake up, Brooke,” Sam whispered urgently. “There’s so much that I haven’t told you.”
