A Rocky Road to Recovery Part 2

Dana's POV

I found out this morning that Reefside High nurse got into a bad car accident and probably would be out for the rest of the school year, so Tommy told them he knew someone who could fill in for her and asked me if I was available. I said I could. I called my work and told them I couldn't come in for a while. After refilling the shelves with my office-donated items, I turn around to see Wes and Eric walk in. Wes is carrying Tracy in his arms.

"What happened?" I ask as Was lays her down on the table.

"Another student Zoey was picking on her," Wes says

"You should tell the principal what happened while I patch her up," I say.

"Dana is right, Wes. I'll stay and escort Tracy to her next class when she wakes up," Eric says.

Wes nods and leaves the room.

Tracy's POV

I open my eyes and find myself in my Aunt Elizabeth's living room. I turn around and can help but smile seeing Aunt Elizabeth standing behind me.

"Aunt Elizabeth, it is you. I miss you so much. Can you haunt Zoey in her dream to get her to stop bullying me?" I say.

"Yes, my little superstar, and I can't do that. Now, I know that you didn't dream me up to ask me that. What's really going on?" Aunt Elizabeth says.

"I had to have vocal nodule surgery. What if the surgery didn't work and I lost my singing voice? I'm positive that..." I say.

"Sweetheart, your new friends aren't going to turn their back on you. Mike isn't going to break up with you, either. " Aunt Elizabeth says, kissing me on the forehead.

"How did you know that I was worried about Mike breaking up with me," I ask.

"Honey, you forget that your mom and I are sisters. We have the power to read minds," Aunt Elizabeth jokes.

"That and a great sense of humor. At least now I know where I got mine from," I smile.

"Yes, sweetheart, now you need to wake up, so you don't worry, Eric and Dana," Aunt Elizabeth says, giving me another hug and kissing my forehead a second time before fading away.

Normal POV

Tracy's eyes flutter as she starts to wake up, Eric helps her sit up, and a few seconds later, her eyes widen in shock, seeing Dana standing in front of her.

"I'm only here filling in for the nurse while she recovers from a bad car accident," Dana says.

Tracy takes her trusty notepad out of her pocket and writes, "Hey, you need to knock first before you enter my mind. Only my mom and Aunt Elizabeth can read my mind without permission since it's their shared special power,"

"Don't move your right arm. When Zoey slammed you against the locker, she bad;y bruised your shoulder," Dana says, finishing tieing the knot on the sling.

"Dana, next time you want to read Tracy's mind, you may need to ask permission beforehand," Eric says, paraphrasing what Tracy wrote after glancing over her left shoulder.

"So, how long will she need to wear the sling?" Eric asks.

"A week, two at the most," Dana says.

"Okay, Tracy, I'll escort you to your next class," Eric says as he helps her off the exam table.

They head to her locker. Eric offered to carry her things, but Tracy refused by arguing that she had one good arm as she would use it. They walk to Mr. Johnson's PreCalculus Class. Eric apologizes for Tracy being late, and she takes her seat. Tracy notices that everyone has a worksheet on their desk. Tracy looks down at hers, and the title reads What three-word phrase is the definition of the perfect night? Tracy takes a pencil out of for pencil case and starts working on it, and when she finishes it, the message reads Prom with Mike?

Tracy smiles and types a response on her phone, "You* + Me*<90* Yes, because I know it would be a shame it didn't since the school knows we make are an ACUTE couple,"

The class laughs at Tracy joke, and Mike walks up to her and kisses her on the cheek before returning to his seat. Tracy put Mike's Prompoosal worksheet in her folder and prepared to take notes for today's class.

Tracy was happy when the school day ended as she made it to her locker and packed her bag, t Mike and the gang walked up, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed the door to her locker. Mike sprints over and quickly catches her in his arms.

"Nice catch, dude," Conner says.

"I'm surprised she made it through the whole day and only fell asleep twice," Mike says

"Twice. When was the first time?" Ethan asks.

"Mr. Johnson's math class," Mike answers.

Tracy wakes up for a few seconds and tries to move to kiss Mike on the cheek, but she misses and ends up kissing his ear before falling back to sleep.

I can't wait to hear that angelic voice echo through the rafters again. Sweet dreams, angel. Mike thinks.

Then the gang heads out to meet up with Dr. O, Eric, Wes, and Dana.
