chapter 5
What happened to the hospital room? I open my eyes to see the cold bleak walls, hard bed, and chemical smell replaced with a room that almost seemed like a home, they must have moved me to a different part of the hospital. I try to go explore my new home but when I try and sit up I see there is a tight strap across my torso pressing me firmly against the bed.
I start to panic, when a woman enters the room, followed closely by a man, and a young boy. They didn't look like nurses, or doctors to me. They looked more like family to me. The woman's face was streaked with tears, and looked like she hadn't slept in days. The man eyes were dark and withdrawn. The boy stood frozen, and emotionless behind the two of them.
The woman stepped toward my bed but then stopped as if she had hit a force field, she bit her lip and backed away again.
"Hailey..." she started to say her voice faded off as if talking was too strenuous for her. She most certainly knew who I was but I couldn't recall a single memory of her, or anything really for that matter. I could remember vague things, as if I was watching everything from underwater. I couldn't remember my favorite song, or what my house smelled like, who my best friend was, or what my favorite drink at Starbucks was. That was terrifying, I tried hard to shove that thought away into the darkest corners of my mind.
"What happened to me, and why am I tied down?" I say my voice barely a whisper, it cracks, and is raspy from under use.
"there was an accident, you had an episode" her voice breaks on the word acciddent. "Hailey.." she says fear curling around the edges of her voice, "do you... know who I am?" I can tell she wants me to know, I concentrate hard on her face, but nothing comes up.
"no" I whisper. Her face collapses, she bites her lip and she opens her mouth as if to speak but nothing comes out, she runs out the door as tears begin to fall down her face. The man pauses for a second and studies my face intently, and his lip twitches a little, then he follows in pursuit out the door.
The little boy still stands there, staring straight ahead, I watch him for a moment, I focus hard on his face, I can almost gather a memory of him, but not quite.
"Who are you?" I question.
He doesn't move for a moment, slowly he looks up at me and smiles.
"You'll remember me." he then walks forward to my IV pole and grabs one of the tubes.
"What are you doing stop it!?" I yell, suddenly alarmed, I try and grab him but I am still restrained.
"It's only just begun Hailey." he says with a devious smile.
With that he pinches shut the tube that gave me morphine, and I can feel the pain start to build in my body as the morphine fades out, I try and scream but the pain is too much. There's nothing but pain, it had blinded, and deafened me, I pray that I can just black out, and escape this. When it becomes so much that I don't think I can take it anymore I fall into uncounciousness.
