Change in the Chapel

“Hey, wake up kid.”
Nathaniel felt a pair of hands shaking him slightly.
“Maybe you should let him rest.” said a voice he didn’t recognize. He heard the doctor scoff.
“He fainted. I don’t think he’s dreaming of beautiful women in bed with him.” he said sarcastically.
At this, Nathaniel laughed and opened his eyes slightly. He saw two blury figures standing above him, but couldn’t distinguish their features, though he knew one of them was the doctor. He wasn’t in the car anymore, and was laying down on a cushioned surface.

Feels too small to be a bed…

He opened his eyes a bit more and focused on the doctor’s face.
“What’s so funny?”
“Oh, nothing… just that I was dreaming of a beautiful woman in bed with me.”
The man to the doctor’s right scoffed; he sounded older.
“Typical teenagers…”
Nathaniel laughed again and sat up slightly.
“It wasn’t like that though.”
The doctor caugh Nathaniel’s eyes and his face distorted.
“What?”
“Your eyes… they’re blue…” the doctor trailed off.
