The Wammy House Memories

The Hospital

Chapter 14!

The Next Day 

Elizabeth could hear birds chirping, they were singing such a peaceful melody. She could feel the warmth of the sunlight on her skin, the sweet scent of grapes lingered in the air. Slowly opening her eyes she could see a bright light shining down on her, she felt spaced out. A familiar voice soon caught her attention, she had no idea where she was right now.

" Hey Izzy, can you hear me?" The voice whispered in her right ear. " It's time to wake up, you've been asleep for hours! Aren't you hungry yet or tired of sleeping the day away?"

Turning her head to the right she saw a blurred outline of a person, they were staring at her. They had bright blue eyes and big smile across their face. She rubbed at her eyes while she reached her hand towards the person's face, she ran finger tips down the person's cheek with a smile on her face.

" Mummy?" Elizabeth asked" Have you come to take me home?"

" Mummy?!" The person laughed. " You must have banged your head harder than we first thought, how are you feeling?"

" Alternative, is that you?" Elizabeth asked before she pinched the person's nose with a giggle. " I'm feeling great and all silly! Do you have any toffee? I feel like eating a big bowl of lemon jelly with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles!"

" Yeah, it's me..." A replied with a smile, he took hold of her hand and placed it down by her side. " Of course you're feeling great, you've been given a small dose of morphine for the pain. It will make you feel spacey for a few hours."

" Am I druggie now?" Elizabeth asked.

" No, I don't think so..." A replied with a smile. " But you've had us all worried, your housekeeper is coming to visit you this evening with your Aunt. I think you're going to stay here again for the night under the observation of Nurse Clark, she's really nice."

" Where am I?" Elizabeth asked.

" You're in the hospital wing of the orphanage. Don't you remember what happened?" A asked while he crossed his arms. " You fell and banged the back of your head really hard a door handle, you may have a mild concussion which may explain your short term memory loss right now. Can I ask you what do you remember from last night?"

" I don't know, my head feels fuzzy..." Elizabeth replied. " But I can remember Backup being there, he was with me in L's office."

" He was with you, but what else can you remember?" A asked." It's important, you'll be questioned by Watari and L again. That's why I'm trying to jog your memory, if you tell me what happened I'll be able to tell them on your behalf."

" I wish I could remember what happened, but my memory is like a jigsaw right now..." Elizabeth sighed.

" It's alright, I'm sure the blank parts of your brain puzzle with slot themselves back together at some point." A chuckled and got up from his chair. " I've got to go now, I was only meant to be checking up on you for Watari. But I ended up sitting with you for half an hour, I kind of ate most of your grapes though. I'm sorry about that, they looked delicious just sitting there in a bag doing nothing."

" I had grapes?" Elizabeth asked.

" Yeah, they were purple seedless grapes." A replied, he rested his hands on the side of the bed and smiled at his friend. " The ward nurses at the orphanage are pretty good when it comes dietary needs, they always make sure that when a student is sick they get plenty of fresh fruit and drinking water. It's nice knowing they care that much about the children's health here, but sweets are a must for recovery."
