My head hurts.

I can't feel my body.

I feel...pain. Lots of pain.

Is this what death feels like?

Perhaps I can finally be at peace.

I can vividly remember the image of blood coming out my stomach. Me slowly dying with a knife in my stomach. I just stood there on the ground. I didn't bother to scream for help. After all why would I?

I wanted this, no?

I wanted to finally be at peace.

Away from everything.

Is this what heaven feels like?

Theres a lot of yelling.

Pherhaps I'm in hell? I haven't been a bad person though. Truthfully speaking I was the victim.

I can hear multiples voices but I still can't see anything.

"Wake up! Wake up"

But I don't want to wake up. Maybe this is all dream, a very peaceful one at that. 

"Please wake up! please"

I don't want to. I want to sleep forever leave me alone.

I don't even recognize these voices.

"You have to wake up Eternity. Please, you have to"

That...not my name.

Perhaps they're talking to someone else.

I feel somebody shaking my body.

They do it again.

And again.

And again.

And...god please make it stop.

I finally open my eyes.

I can't breath. I can't stop coughing.

I'm in a bed...in a room I have never seen before. A very luxurious room.

Then I see someone dressed in a maid costume holding a plate.

Is this some kind of prank? 

As soon as she sees me she drops the plate she's been holding. It as if she's seen a ghost.

"Madam! The lady has awoken" she yells as she rans out the room.

The lady? Is she talking about me? 

Okay seriously what the fuck is going on.

As I tried to move out of the bed I feel immense pain covering my body. Ouch.

The door opens and I see a women with black hair in a bun. She looks really...elegant.

She starts crying as soon as she sees me.

Am I hideous?

"Eternity, oh thank god you're finally awake. You don't know how worried me and your father were. What went throught your mind when you decided to poison yourself?"

Wait wait wait, poison myself? I didn't poison myself, I stabbed myself. And what do you mean 'me and your father' you look nothing like my mother...

But as soon as I tried to say a word I started coughing...again.

"Don't try to speak right now the doctor said you have to rest. Esther if there's anything that me and your dad did to make you want to take your own life we are sorry. Please, once you've recovered come and have a talk with us tell us if there's anything we did wrong so we can change. Just please...never do this again" She said with tears in her eyes while hugging me. 

She was shaking and crying so I started shaking and crying. I have no idea why. I don't even know this women and she keeps calling me Esther which is not my name.

We cried for quite a while and she told to rest and said that she would come back later. Why did I even cry? Maybe it was because of the way she was hugging me. I've never realised how good it felt to be hugged by an older women. Maybe because my mom never hugged me...i don't know.

But how do I tell her that I am not her 'Esther'?

Maybe I ended up in the hospital and looked exactly like her child so they confused us and we got switched? I use all the strength I can to stand up and walk up to mirror which took me a good five minutes. 

When I take a look at myself in the mirror. I let out a scream. A silent...scream since I can't seem to talk. 

This looks nothing like me.

I'm supringsly pale and have long black...straight hair.

The eyes... it also different. It almond shaped with an unusual eye colour.

Purple.

Can you even have purple eyes? Is that even possible?

Technically you could because of lack of pigment mixed with light reflecting off of red blood vessels but that beside the point.

Who the fuck is this? Cause one thing for sure...that not me.
