Beep.
Beep.
Beep..

The beeps of the monitor on the side of me pulsed annoyingly.
Where was I?

I paused, opening my eyes and flinching.
Bright light streamed into my 'room,' hurting my eyes.

I rubbed my eyes, closing them again and trying to think.

What happened?
Where am I?

—————

My thoughts were interrupted as a voice streamed into my proximity of hearing it.

I slowly opened my eyes gently to listen.

"Tom, correct?"
I nodded my head slowly and reluctantly, as if I just remembered it.

"Do you know what happened?"

I nodded my head side to side. The figure marked something down on a clipboard.

"You were harming yourself and cut into a vein. Lucky you made it here in time," She paused. "The hospital. I am a nurse. We will help."

I nodded slowly again, shifting my position. A sharp pain etched from my arm.

"I.." it pointed at my arm with IV's and bandages across it.

"Yes. That is the damaged arm. We are inserting blood back into you and fluids."

I sighed before nodding.

"How did I get here?"

My voice was cracked, weak, and weary.

The nurse sat on a stool beside the bed, looking at me. I gently rested my eyes and listened.

"Some guy in a red shirt carried you out. He was smaller, don't know how he did it."

Aaron maybe?
He knew?
I can't think very straight..

I slowly started to try to get up, almost pulling my IV's out. The nurse swayed me back down.

"You have to rest and recover. Visitors can come later, but you need to stay put."

I nodded again, speechless.
I can't remember.

I can't remember anything.

Tears streamed from my eyes before I could speak properly. "I can't remember anything.." I whispered, wiping my eyes.
