words do hurt
Chapter 4
My eyes flickered opened as the smell of junky cafeteria food and anti-bacterial cleaners filled my slightly bruised nose.
I heard the faint beeping of the machine that was attached to my chest.
I groaned slightly, adjusting my body to the bed that I was sitting on, rubbing my head of where the huge migraine was going from.
I soon realized it was a hospital, and I was attached to a bunch of equipment.
"Christina baby, you're awake!" my mother exclaimed, running in through the door with a slice of dreamy chocolate cake that made my stomach growl of hunger.
"I was so worried about you." she whispered, giving me a hug and abundant kisses on my forehead, trying not to give me more pain than I'm already in.
"Oh I'm glad you're awake Christina." a blonde female said, in a doctor's coat with a clipboard.
"Yeah, me too." I mumbled, still a bit woozy.
"What was the last thing you remembered before you passed out?" she asked, clicking her pen on the clipboard, getting ready to write whatever I was going to say.
"Umm, Maria & I were trying to school, and then I saw a light, and the next thing you know, we're in a ditch with an suffocating airbag in my face." I murmured, with my voice trailing off.
"Is she going to be okay doctor?" my mom pleaded, brushing a strand of my hair away from my glistening eyes that were dull at the moment.
"Well, we're still waiting on one more test result, but she should be fine, since she remembers what happened. Just keep her in bed for the rest of the day and tomorrow, and make sure that she gets a lot of vitamins, no junk food." the doctor explained.
I repeatedly nodded at everything she said, even if I wasn't even paying attention, I would just rather go back to sleep already.
Suddenly, a thought came into my head, Maria.
"W-Where's M-Maria? Is she o-okay?!" I stammered, up and alert.
The doctor looked at me with sorrow, not answering.
"Oh my gosh, she isn-"
"There's nothing as severe that I know of, but the man treating her told me that she is in a condition and only family members can visit her right now."
I sighed of relief, but there was still a great amount of anxiousness in me.
"H-How serious i-is it?" I asked, with my voice cracking at every word I said, my fingers tingling madly with worriedness.
"I'm not sure, but if I am informed, you will be the first one I tell it to. I'll be back soon, I have to go check on your test results." she smiled, exiting the room.
"Sweetie, don't worry, she's in good hands. I got you some food from the hospital cafeteria, because I knew you were going to be hungry when you woke up!" my mother chuckled.
It was a tray of green slob, mushed up fruit, and what looks like meat loaf, along with a cup of tap water with a little fly swirling around on a piece of crushed ice.
It was revolting, why don't they get decent food?
I looked over at my mother, who was enjoying that slice of cake, while I got this horrid plate of what they think is food.
I pushed the disgusting mixture away, immediately losing my appetite.
All I could think about is how Maria is doing.
Favorite if you liked/read it & Comment what you think!
I just couldn't wait until this "pending moderation" thing was over, I'm not a very patient person. Sorry for the long wait!
