Pain. That's all he felt when he first woke up. Pain. He tried to open his eyes but was met with resistance. He slowly raised his hands to his face. Every movement a muscle made sent daggers of pain shooting through his system, reminding him what had happened, or at least parts of it, huge chunks missing. He felt his eyes, well not his eyes but the bandages covering them. As he woke up he realized that the pain he was experiencing extended to his entire body, including his face. "He's awake." It was a female voice he heard, followed by a set of footsteps walking towards him and another walking away, and then out through a door, it seemed. He felt some hands bring his wrists back to his sides. "The doctor will be here shortly," Harvey thought it was a nurse talking to him, "How are you feeling Harvey?" "What happened?" Harvey's mind immediately went back to school, what about his girlfriend, his friends, his teachers, did they make it? Where were his parents? He heard the beep of his heart monitor pick up his pace. Harvey felt a small pinch on his arm, "This will help you relax, you've been through a lot." The nurse spoke in a soft voice as she felt her body relax. The heart rate monitor has turned off. "The Doctor will be here soon, relax, you need to recover first, you've been through everything." “That's an understatement,” a new voice, an email and two sets of footsteps walking towards him. “Our young friend here has saved many lives.” The voice was next to Harvey now. He heard some cards being handled. “Everything seems to be working.” Harvey felt a hand pat his shoulder. "It's going to be okay, son, we'll talk about this in a bit, go to sleep..." That was all Harvey heard as... middle of paper... on the floor, and he sighed heavily. Harvey knew this meant bad news. When Trevor looked at Harvey again, he could see it in his eyes, they were all dead. “The attackers destroyed a large part of the school, killing over 700 students and passers-by in total. The police tried to help but they were no match." Zeigers' hand came up and gently squeezed Harvey's shoulder, "Your girlfriend was one of the victims." Harvey could understand that, he held back a sob, "What about my parents? " Harvey lived several blocks from the school, surely they would have been fine. , crashed on your street, no one made it, sorry." Zeiger withdrew his hand: “This is all to be understood, do you want to talk?”
