----------------------------------------------

Coral's POV:

I woke up and with a really bad headache.

"Where am I?"

I looked around and realized I was in a hospital. 'Why am I here?' A nurse came in and took off a towel on my forehead.

"How do you feel." She said as she looked at the wraps on my head.

"I don't remember anything. What happened."

What did happen to me? Was I in a car crash? Did I fight someone? The only thing I can remember is my name.

'My name is Coral Lasly'
'How old am I?'
'Wheres family?'
'Who's my family?'

I'm messing my head up.

Suddenly I heard the nurses voice.

"You got smashed into the locker at school."

What?!?! Do I get bullied at school? What is my life!

I don't remember a thing. It's really annoying me. Grrrrrrrrr remember! I shook my head. "Really?"

Suddenly the door opened. A familiar lookup girl ran in and squeezed me.

"Are you okay?" She seemed worried. Was she a friend of mine? C'mon brain think!
"Who are you?" I really need an answer.

"What do you mean? Don't play jokes with me." She looked very worried.

"She's having a major concussion." The nurse said scrolling threw papers not even making Eye contact with the girl. "She doesn't remember a thing other than her name."

"What? You're kidding right? Coral? It's me, Alexa! You have to remember me! Please! I'm your best friend!" Tears were were endlessly rolling down her cheeks.

She's my best friend? A girl named Alexa is my best friend? The door opened again and this time a man came in and hugged me. "It's me your dad. I know about your concussion but don't worry we'll get threw this together."

OH MY GOD! This isn't happening! My life is practically ruined with this concussion! What If I can never remember. Now tears are rolling down my cheek.

Just think the positive. I know who my best friend is, and I know who my dad is. Will I remember the rest?

"Will she remember soon?" Alexa said very anxious to know the answer. "I need to know."

I need to know this answer too. Joy and sorrow was what I was feeling as Alexa said the question. So many questions. Questions are scrolling threw my head. "It's going to take a few months until she fully recovers." MONTHS! I can't last that long. Your kidding me right! "Please no! Is there any way I can remember faster?"

"I cannot last that long! My best friend won't remember me for a few months! Are you serious! How will I live?" My friend started bouncing off of walls.

"Alexa calm down. It's going to be alright." My dad said trying to keep her together.

Its going to be alright? Is that what he said? ITS NOT! I can't remember a thing and it's going to be alright! Really? If you are my dad, shouldn't you know how I feel! Are you really my dad!

"I want to go home wherever home is." I got up but they all shoved me back in the bed. "No! I want to go home! Please!" I'm resisting them so much! Why won't they leave me alone.

"Calm down Coral. This isn't good for you." The words the nurse said just went in my brain and straight back out. There is no way I'm stopping now!

"You need to stop Coral! The nurse said it isn't good for you! Please!" Alexa is forcing me with words to stop. Her heart is beating rapidly. Tears are coming out of her face faster than ever.

More and more people were coming in pushing me down but I kept going. It's like I'm resisting arrest. I have to keep going. If they want me to stop they better let me out of this place now! "Let go of me! If you don't let me go home--

They came with a needle and suddenly it went right through my skin. I felt dizzy and tired and soon it went black.

----------------------------------------------

"What happened?" Has this happened before? Wow. Talk about déjà vu. Wait but this time I'm somewhere else. It feels like the walls are closing in on me. "Ahhhhhh my head!" I am having so much pain. Go away! "Do you need a wet towel on your forehead like at the hospital?"
My dad is so helpful to me. I'm glad he's here.

"Ya that would be great. Thanks."
"Be right back." He's gone I took a good look around.

This place looks familiar. Is this my home? I can't be. It's too recked and torn down. Maybe I'm just poor. I hope that's not the case. "Here." He came in and place the wet towel carefully and gently on my head.

I heard a knock. Who could that be?
"Be right back in just going to get the door." He got up and opened the door. I could faintly see who it is. It looks like a boy around my age. The thing is though, what is my age? If I could just move a little closer I could listen to their conversation. It doesn't sound right to eavesdrop, but I think this can be an exception.

My dad spoke his words in an confusing manner. "Who are you."
"My name is Brendan Wilson. I'm the kid who brought her to the hospital." He probably wanted to see if I was okay. What is my relationship with him? "So your the boy that helped Coral. Glad to meet you. I'm her dad." they shook hands. "How is she?" I knew that was coming. "She's fine. The only problem is that she can't remember anything other than her name." Well what if you stop talking and start helping me to remember. That's the only I'm going to live through this. I'm disgusted by this conversation.

"Do come in." Really! Now he's coming in! This is going to take a long time. I'm just going to pretend I gone to sleep. I turned onto my side and shut my eyes.
"Looks like she's sleeping." The boy said. Yes! It's working. "I'll be right back." My dad said as he walked away. Really? Your leaving me with him.

"I know your not asleep." He knows I'm not asleep! Really? He's good. "I thought I could pull it off. I guess not."
I frowned. "It's okay. I'm just known for taking really good predictions." Wow. "That's your excuse. Your going to need something bigger to fool me. I'm not dumb you know. No help me remember everything. I sat up. "Alright my lady."

"Oh shut up." I said in a playful voice.
"Okay, I don't know much about you, but here's what I know."
