The
boy with the shaggy brown hair laughed heartily. He poked my
robed stomach jokingly.
"You silly!" he laughed, rocking back
and forth in the metal chair that he sat in. I pondered that
discovery- it made sense. I realized that I didn't know
of any other name for myself.
"What kind of name is
Kels?" I asked, ignoring the raspiness in my voice. The
boys eyes bulged out of his head. He turned to
"Grace." Her blue eyes were nearly wider than
his. I wondered what mine looked like. Apparantly, my
confused expression betrayed me. Grace slapped on a soft
smile. I knew what was hidden underneath it.
"Don't worry sweetie. I'll go and
grab the doctor!" she assured, patting my hand
lightly.
"I'll take care of her!" the boy called
as she left my side and exited the room. He turned toward me
again. His eyes were a deep blue, extremely dark with black
streaks. Almost like the ocean, I thought.
"You have such pretty eyes," I mused,
practically losing myself. He laughed.
"Haha, why thank you! You too sis!
Dad always tells you that yours are special. He is
QUITE the charmer if you ask me!"
"Wait... sis... dad? Are you my...
brother?" The boy smiled.
"Yes of course. Since you probably
don't remember, I'm Jacob. Jacob Anthony Steele.
You... you of course are Kelsey Ann Steele. My baby sister. I
go to the University of California for a growing carreer in
soccer. You on the other hand, were starting your senior year
of high school. Mom and Dad are incredibly proud. Mom's a
real estate agent... her company offered us our house. Dad on
the other hand teaches computer and engineering sciences over
at the college. Between the four of us, we're rich!
You're a cheerleader.... AND a volleyball player. Go
figure. When I'm not studying, I ref little
childrens' soccer games. You on the other hand work over
at 2 Cute. Dad always found that ironic because you're
'too cute!' he thinks. Capisci?" My head
was buzzing. All of this information was being thrust into my
head all at once. It hurt enough already. He already
continued to speak "Goes to show. We all are pretty much
the 'popular crew.'" I didn't know how I was
related to this boy. He seemed too conceited. He went
on. "You have one good friend though.
She's-" the boy was cut off by the opening of
a door. A man with fluffy brown hair and wide eyes entered
the room, staring down at his clipboard. His white lab coat
swished around the corner. Grace hovered behind him, holding
her hands near her face.
"Hello... miss Steele? Feeling any
better? I'm Doctor Lekarz. I'll be taking care of you
this morning. Now, from what I understand ,
you're not remembering anything, is this correct?"
the doctor spoke to me as if we were having an average
conversation. His large brown eyes captivated me. I've
seen a pair like them before... "Humph. Well, let's
see. Do you know how you ended up here miss Steele?" I
shrugged and immediately regretted it. My whole body ached.
"Any recollection of the cause of injury?"
"What..?" I began. I glanced
down at all of the tubes and wires. I couldn't piece it
all together.
"Miss Steele... you were in a CAR
accident." I let that sink in. It wasn't hard to
believe. The way my body hurt, my head... it all made sense.
"That girl... Maggie Stewart. She was in the car with
you. A LOT worse condition she's in if that's any
comfort at all" I glanced at the girl to my right. She
wasn't looking to great. I thought she had grown
even paler. The doctor's eyes widened. A loud beeping
noise came from a machine off to her right. Her heart was
stopping. I thought mine did as well. The doctor bolted
over to her and started to work. Soon enough, the room was
flooded with doctors and nurses trying to help. One woman
pulled over a large machine. The one that restarts your
pulse, I thought. I glanced at my brother's face. He was
horrified... but couldn't look away. I wasn't the
only one who noticed. A young nurse entered the room. She was
about 30 with wavy auburn hair. She saw my brother's face
and glanced at me. Without a word, she ran over to the
curtain between the girl and I and pulled it between the two
beds. Little did I know it then, but that was the last time
that I would set eyes on my best friend.
