Migraine

Migraine-Aprils P.O.V

I wake up in a bright white room filled with noise. I look down to see me in a ugly, thin robe. I am laying on a bed with a thin blanket on top of me.
The first person I saw was my mum. She was holding my hand and as soon as I woke up she smiled.
"Hey honey"
"What where am I?"
"You fainted sweetie"
I can now remember. I remember falling into the floor, feeling sweaty, feeling like I wanted to die. It was a horrible feeling. I had fainted once but my father said it was years ago when I was only 3 years old. But this time it was horrible. I couldn't hear anything. My vision was blurry and my head was throbbing like mad. The ground was hard and felt like falling onto concrete. I was out of control. My body was out of control. I had never felt like that, not even in my panic attacks. I felt like I could stab myself and just die there, hurting with only my mum and a doctor around me to comfort me. I was in so much pain. My ears were screaming and I couldn't breath. It was so painful.

A young doctor came over to me. She had blonde flowing hair and a wide smile. But this smile looked fake. It looked like her jaw was about to crack.
"April Summer! Hello! My name is Doctor Smith. Nice to meet you! And you must be her mother. Call me Mrs Smith, if you may?"
My mum pulled a big smile and shook her hand and called her Mrs Smith and laughed. But I know my mum and it was all an act. She was putting on a fake act where she smiles and acts all happy and laughy when she is really just confused and sad and wants to go home and cry and hug me and my dad.

My mum and Doctor/Mrs Smith went to talk separately. I am left here all by myself in this hospital room. I need to get out. Of course I can't. I just shift around trying to get comfortable.

"Hi. My name is Greta. I was burnt in a fire accident and half of my skin on my leg burnt off."the young girl next to me said. She had tight plaits, big rosy cheeks and a tiny mouth that pulled massive grin. I couldn't be rude to her. She looked about 8 years old. She is lying in a hospital bed without her mother or father with her and half of her skin is gone. I grin back and laugh a little
"Hi. My name is April. I have a illness..." I say. I don't mention what the illness though.
"What illness?"
"I'm not quite allowed to say"
"Why not? No never mind. I don't have many friends here. Can I be your friend?"
"Of course!"
It feels good that someone can talk to me without laughing at my name or fiddling with my curls or mentioning that I have too much lip balm on. If i didn't hang out with the most popular, make up obsessed girls at school, I would be normal.
Doctor Smith comes back with stacks of papers and my mum.
"Well you need to stay for at least 4 weeks. I'm afraid you can't stay for now but tomorrow you can stay for a few hours." She says to my mum holding her hand out. My mum shakes her hand, rolls her eyes at me, I laugh and she walks out the door after giving my a kiss on my nose.
"Well, if you like you can explore the hospital but you need to wear a expire badge to let everyone know that you have permission. She passed over the badge and I stick it on.
"Well done! It's very special you see. You own permission with a grown up girl holding her form. Very important."she says to me as if I am a five year old that has never been to a hospital before. I smile and her and act all excited like I can't believe I have a special little fricking badge to sow on my own top!Yay! Yippee! Not really. I get hundreds of badges in brownies and guides I still have them packed away in my draw somewhere at home. I want to be a home now. I want to be lying in a comfy bed, not this hard cheap hospital bed. To get away from it all I get up, put the badge in my pocket and walk out of the room. I walk straight through the whole hospital and go outside. There is a baloney on the next floor so I decide to go on there. The back door is locked because I closed ittoo hard so I have to climb up. I step onto a small ladder and go to the top. I grab a rope and swing on it until I get to the side bridge. I walk across it,splashing my hand in the small water pools on the side. I have to go all the way round so I end up on the other side of the water garden. I have to climb up the bricks on the wall. My hands slip a few times and my hand bleed. My legs fell weak and I know I shouldn't be doing this but I do anyway. I eventually get to the top and have to swig my leg round a metal pole. There are four other poles I have to climb up before I get to the baloney. I get up and lift my self up to the second pole. I swift along and grab the golden lock from the window. I place it in my mouth and get up. The third one is wobbly so I clip the lock onto it to stable it. I climb on and leave the lock for when I come down. I get onto the last pole, shift along and climb onto the baloney. The room inside is just an empty space with nothing or no one in. I stand on the baloney and let my black curls blow in the wind. The air is fresh and crisp. It makes me feel normal, like I haven't got a deadly illness.

After ten minutes of me standing on the baloney, Doctor Smith and a bunch of other nurses came running towards me. They all had gloves on and they were screaming, as if they were being chased by a monster. One of the doctors went onto the ladder, swung on the rope, went across the bridge, climb the bricks and the metal poles and grab me. I had no idea what was going on but they wouldn't let me speak. They just took me to a emergency room. they put me to sleep and did all different types of surgery on me. I was panicking but I couldn't move. I tried so hard but my body felt numb. I couldn't breath and I felt like I was drowning into the deep sea, not being able to do anything...
