Stay

Chapter 1---- Awake

Dedicated to Dem172

Hazel's POV

My eyes felt heavy, and I felt like I've been drugged. The Fuck? My head hurts like a bitch. My eyes fluttered open bit by bit.

Everything was white, the walls, the sheets these wires connected to my hand and.... jeez! I'm covered in wires. And that lazy beeping sound makes me want to believe that I'm in a hospital... wait WHAT?

OUTCh! Damn my head aches and the fucken light's too bright.
The door opened suddenly, startling me. A lady in a white uniform entered.

" Jesus!" She dropped her pad, pure shock evident on her face.
Well, the Fuck is her problem?
She runs out calling for the doctor. That's weird, she needs to be on this bed not me. Come on, which crazy nurse sees a patient and run off unless.... wait do I look horrible?

Silly Hazel, that's absurd.

The door opened suddenly AGAIN, and the doctor obviously in his late forties walks in, pure relief and a big smile plastered on his face. Is this a mental hospital? Like seriously.

The nurse who ran out earlier is here with him, looking more... sorber. Well hello run away bride. I say in my head.
Okay so just know that I do a lot of talking to myself in my head, with my subconscious.

" Hello dear, how are you feeling? Thank God you're back " The doctor said politely, checking me up
" uhh, I'm... fine? My head hurts like Fuck" I said, trying to sit upright
" oh that's understandable. I'll have tests ran on you and see how you progress. "

" What happened?" I asked perplexed
" oh dear, you where shot in the head...."
" Shot in the Head?!" I yelled in awe.
" Yes "
" What do you mean by SHOT IN THE HEAD? And then shouldn't I be dead then? Wait am I in a hospital in Heaven? Heaven has hospitals? " I asked incredulously.

Well that's silly but damn how am I alive if I was shot in the head?
The doctor laughed and 'run away' nurse chuckled.

" Well no you're not in Heaven. You don't remember a thing?"
" Hell no! What am I suppose to remember?" I asked rhetorically, trying to sit upright, but ran away nurse stopped me.

Damn, someone get these wires off me, I need to breath.
" You were shot five years ago-"
" Wait what? What are you saying?!" My shock knows no bounds.

"Relax dear, don't stress yourself. Now I'm going to check on you and ask you questions alright, don't push yourself to remember if you don't have a memory of what I'll ask right?".

" Fine" I say, exasperated
" What's your name?"
I roll my eyes at him. The nurse took instructions from the doctor and left, smiling at me. Weird nurse... okay maybe not weird, just shocked I woke up obviously from a coma.

But five years?... Bloody hell

" My name is Hazel Dawn "
" Alright that's good. Age?"
" I'm twenty years old... duhh "
The doctor nodded, as if what I said was... sad?
" What?" I pried
" Nothing really. It's normal for patients to wake up from Coma and think we're in the past"

What is he saying?

" Okay so what is the last thing you remember?"
" ...uhh, me and my boyfriend Jayden went to the club and ... I don't know what else, that's...all" I say, feeling tired suddenly.

The doctor nods and asks few more questions.

Wait so he tells me that I was shot in the head when I jumped in front of my boyfriend in attempt to save his life when some one tried to kill him that night at the club.

But who? And why don't I remember anything aside that?
Okay I have a sister Bethany and my parents are alive and Jaden... Jaden? Something doesn't sit right with him and I don't remember shit.

My head is spinning and I become hyper. The doctor tries to calm me down but to no avail. They injected me something and then the next I knew was, the darkness envelopes me, sending me into a slumber.

*****

It was dark when I woke up... wait I'm awake right? Yh I am. My stomach growls, and I feel so hungry. Pulling the wires out of my arms and nose, I make countless efforts to stand up and finally succeed at the tenth try.
It feels odd and damn good to walk again.

I opened the door as noiselessly as possible and peep out, all clear. The hall way is dark, except for a dim light burning on the left. I follow it, bare footed and enjoying the cold as it kissed my feet.

I hid at a corner and watched a nurse scribble something on a pad. I dock back when a security man appears, chatting with the nurse. He left after a while and it felt like forever. Thank God the nurse turned to do something. I tipped toed to my left unnoticed, releasing the air I didn't know I was holding. I saw an elevator and made for it. Thank God I made it to the floor safely. Then dogging a few other people and security men, I was on my way to freedom.

I know what to do. So I made for home.

HOME!.

I'M never going out again once I get home. Mom and Dad is gonna be pissed but damn, I hate hospitals. And it's adventurous to escape from there without being caught.

I feel like a freaken hero!... okay that's childish but I once run away from a hospital when I was twelve and damn!, it was fun. I don't know where I am but the street looks familiar though deserted and dark.

The cold air slaps my skin and my feet is freezing, my whole body is freezing. Hugging myself, I follow my instincts and walk to my left, hopefully I'm going in the direction of home.

Home.
