After I had woken up everyone was in shock but I was disappointed. "I had everything I wanted! Why! Everything was so good and you guys had to bring me back! Why couldn't you just leave me be?!" I screamed.
"Excuse me?" My mother said, "You were in a coma for two weeks. We did not bring you back but what do you mean back? Back from what?"
"I was in the overworld! I was happy! Why couldn't you let me be happy?!" I was so angry. Everyone was staring at me, somewhere confused and somewhere in shock but I did not care. I was happy there. I finally had everything I had ever wanted. Why did I follow him? Why would he lie? I am going to get back there. I don't care how hard it is.
"Doctor! She's awake! Can we take her home now?" My father asked.
The doctor started to walk into the room then he said, "No not yet. She's going to have to stay here overnight but you may tae her in the morning. We have to run a few tests on her to make sure everything is fine. We can't send her home until the tests are complete."
Tests? I wonder what kind of tests they're going to put me through. Probably just seeing if I can still think straight, eat, and walk properly. Just basic things. I don't have any casts on so I don't think anything major is going to happen, or at least I hope not.
My family all started to get up to leave the room so the doctor could start to perform the tests. They first gave me a plate of food, they told me to eat it and try to not throw up. It was a plate of warm and fresh chicken noodle soup, but there was no soup, it was just the noodles. I was a bit disappointed that there was no soup but I could live with it. I ate the plate and they told me to wait for about 20 mins to see if I could keep the food down. I did. They put me in a wheelchair and rolled me over to a treadmill. They told me they were going to have it in a walking setting so I wouldn't have to worry about running but they needed me to get out of the chair and start to walk on the treadmill. They said that they needed to see if I was capable of walking properly. I stumbled a bit while getting out of the chair but other than that I did well. They said I looked well and healthy but they were going to need a checkup done on me.
This nurse came into the room, she said she was going to be the one doing my checkup. She introduced herself and started explaining to me what she was going to do. She made sure I was comfortable with everything going to be done and I was. It took around an hour to get everything done with the checkup but she said I seemed healthy. She explained that I might have a few liver problems but other than that I was great. They then walked me back to my bed and gave me a cup of medicine. They told me that because of the accident my liver and kidneys had been scratched. The medicine was supposed to help with the healing process and make the pain not as bad. I took the medicine and started to lay back in bed. The doctors and nurses had all left the room and cut the lights out. I assumed it was okay for me to go to sleep.
I went to sleep at around 11pm and woke up at 7am. I woke up to one of the nurses giving me a shot. I yelled, "Ow! What are you doing?"
"I'm giving you your pain medication where you can go home." She replied.
I was not excited to go home. Everyone was going to shower me with affection when all I wanted was to be left alone. It was going to be annoying. All I really wanted was to go back to that place. The overworld. It was so nice there. I can't believe he tricked me into going back. Maybe he didn't trick me though? Maybe it was just my time to come back? No. I died. They told me that I died. My family and doctors told me that I was in a coma tho? I'm not sure who to believe but all I know is that I want to go back. It was so lovely there. It was such a calming place.
When I got into the car everyone started to ask me about what happened and if I felt okay. I was confused as to why they were asking if I felt okay but I just replied with, "I'd assume so, why?"
"We were just worried because when you woke up you started screaming about this thing, I think you called it 'the overworld'? We thought you had gone crazy," My sister explained.
I was not crazy but I did not want them to think I was so I just laughed it off. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I had to get back, but how? I suppose I would have to die or slip into a coma again? Honestly, it didn't feel like I was there for two weeks. It felt like I was only there for a few minutes. Maybe I could commit suicide? I'd have to do my research on it when I got home. We were only 5 minutes away from my house so I wasn't going to have to wait too long.
I decided that I was going to research how to get back into the overworld. Maybe the overworld wasn't even real. I do remember hearing stories from other people who had slipped into comas before. They would talk about these visions and lives they had lived, and when they woke up none of it was real. I guess I'll find out once I get home.
The car pulled up into the driveway and I immediately got out and walked to the front door. I was so eager to get to my room. Once my mother unlocked the front door I started to walk up to my room.
"Where do you think you're going? I haven't been able to spend time with you in two weeks. I want you to stay in here and spend time with the family." My mother insisted.
I tried hard to convince her to let me go to my room. I told her, "I'm tired, I want to rest. I didn't get much sleep last night because of the tests I had to go through."
"Fine," she said, "I guess you can go to sleep. I'm sorry this happened to you."
After that I rushed up to my room and got on my computer. I started to type, 'How do I get back into the overworld?' The first few websites that popped up we're just talking about the overworld and people's experiences there but I found one explaining how to get back in. It was talking about the things that I had seen, it was telling me that I would have to completely die this time. A coma would not work. I was planning on how I was going to get back. I was going to commit suicide but not tonight. I was going to do it on wednesday night. That was exactly 2 days from now. I was going to have the time to spend my last moments with my family and friends, tomorrow I was going to s[end the day with my family and tuesday I was going to spend with my friends.
