Not my fault,My fate

Chapter Two

Theme: Scars

🙇TANIA'S POV🙇

    I could feel my hands,I could feel my feet,I could feel my body,Does this mean I'm alive? I woke up in the emergency unit in the hospital,everything seemed blurry but I was been pushed really fast on a bed or something, I could hear a lot of voices but couldn't see the faces.

    At least there's a small ray of hope that I might scale through, I was been rushed to ICU (INTENSIVE CARE UNIT),I was losing a lot of blood and I needed General Surgery immediately.

    It was difficult to move or even breathe,I was in so much pain and fear enveloped me but I couldn't say a word,the last thing i saw was the light at the beginning of surgery as it reflected brightly into my eyes and slowly,I was drawn into darkness as my knees got weak and my eyes shut.

  The smell of drug and blood was the first thing that welcomed me from my slumber, "I must still be in the hospital" I thought to myself. My eyes were still shut but I was conscious, I felt my heart beat race,that's a sign that I was alive......a good sign.

    "She's awake!!!" The nurse in my ward alarmed the other nurses and they rushed out to inform the doctor.

  I started hearing footsteps and voices around me,that must be the doctor and probably my parents "Oh my parents!" I thought about them,I haven't seen them for God knows when I've been in this state. I hope they are fine and Chase.......yes Chase! And Tonia__oh I've missed her so much.

     I slowly opened my eyes,the intensity of the light caused a migraine in my head,like I haven't opened them in years. As my eyes opened more brightly,I noticed the smiling faces around me and before I knew it,I received a hug,it was the warmest hug_I looked up and saw it was mum. I bursted into tears as I saw my mum,I didn't even know why I started crying but I knew things weren't right and I had missed her.

     Mum hugged me so tight and kissed my forehead lightly, she kept thanking me for staying alive. I knew I was at the brink of death but I didn't remember much so I just smiled back at her.

    I noticed the scars and bandage on mum's body, I wanted to touch her face but I could barely move my limbs,she must be in so much pain than I was. I looked behind her and didn't see Dad or my siblings.

        "Where's Dad?" I managed to ask as the words sent a sharp pain down my throat.

     "Dad is fine"

  "And Tonia.......and.......and Chase?" I asked .

I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong,Mum's eyes were filled with tears as I asked of Tonia and Chase.
   "They are both fine" Mum said as she forced a smile on her face. "Go to rest now,I'll be right back honey" Mum said as she stood up,she gave me a gentle kiss on my head and left the ward.

     I guess if I rest as mum said,I would leave this really weird state I'm in. So many things didn't feel right,even my body and mind didn't feel right, like it was different, perhaps it was the hospital or probably the medications I was taking. A deep slumber might do the trick,I should be fine when I'm awake.

    I was going to be discharged today,I was waiting for this day to come. I wondered how long I had been in the hospital,it felt like forever. I looked around for a calendar to know the date but nothing of sort was nearby.

    I'd ask mum when she comes,I hope we didn't miss Grandpa's birthday,Tonia and I rehearsed so much for his birthday. I sat at the edge of my bed swinging my feet back and forth as I waited for mum,I hope she comes with Dad,Tonia and Chase today,throughout my stay in the hospital,I didn't see any of them except mum and she always told me they were fine__I hope they are fine cos I'm fine now.

     The door finally opened and I quickly got on my feet cos I couldn't wait to see who comes in. The first thing I saw broke my heart__it was Dad,he had only one leg,the other seemed to be amputated and he was being pushed on a wheelchair by Mum. Chase walked in with crouches in both of his hands as he was leaping.

    I became weak seeing the sight of my family, it was too heartbreaking and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I ran to embrace my Dad as tears ran down my cheek. I looked at Dad and Chase once more,I couldn't lay my finger on what really happened, i had lost all memory of it but seeing as we all ended in the hospital together,it wasn't something light.

    I hugged Dad again and Chase joined then mum too,we did our 'family hug' as tight as we could cos this moment was really delicate and that's when it hit me, I felt something was missing, I looked at my wrist and saw my twin sisters bracelet was safe__Wait! My twin sister??

    "Where's Tonia??"
