Fuck, why didn't they bring us into a room sooner? Why didn't they get to Raya faster? She was hit by a car, after all! I realize that emergency rooms have to treat the most critical patients first, and Raya may not have seemed critical when we arrived, but there's always a chance of internal bleeding. And clearly that's what has happened.
I've seen it before. Motorcycles have been my preferred method of transport for almost a decade, and I've had several friends who ended up in the ER. Thankfully all of them survived their injuries, but seeing the way Raya went pale like that was just like my buddy Dominic. He had a ruptured spleen and needed emergency surgery, but his injury was obvious right away. Raya's must not have been as bad.
God, she looked so pale. Maybe it was the moving when she put the hospital gown on that shifted something inside and made the bleeding speed up. She did mention that everything was hurting—that it even hurt to smile.
