Unconditionally {Discont'd}

Mistakes part 3

"D-" Did I…hear something..?...I listened in more to the blank space surrounding my being. Perhaps..my mind is finally getting to me.

"Do- '' There it is again…I heard..something..It was so quiet, so subtle that I almost missed it. I would've thought I was hearing things if I hadn't heard the voice again.

"D-" I wonder what they are trying to say..

"DOCTOR!!" I flinched at the ear piercing scream that left someone's throat. Who knew a voice could scream so loudly. My eyes slowly peeled open to the blinding squares in the hospital ceiling. What's going on now? I'm tired of waking up and falling back into the deep dark depths of my consciousness. It's boring there. I miss my life. My life where it was only Supetto and I in our small cottage doing great and learning new things about the environment and about the world. I didn't suffer these issues where I was. Now that Supetto's gone, I'm in a house full of strangers that are apparently my family. I''m fighting with my sister I just found out I had, fawning over some pink haired nitwit who possibly drugged me and dance battling some dumb mean girls. I'm tired of it all.

Its so annoying. I curse my feelings that I have for the Salamander but, I can't help it. No matter how angry I seem there's no way I can just stay mad at him for long. I don't even know if he drugged me for real. I could have possibly passed out due to my low alcohol tolerance. I just thought that the least he would do is  be there for me in my drunken state and take care of me. He seemed like such a nice guy. No, I shouldn't jump to conclusions without knowing the full story. Natsu I just hope you had nothing to do with this. 

"Can you move?" The nurse asked as she neared me with a clipboard in hand. I glanced down at my body and tried to move my arms and legs. It felt painfully numb at first but soon the pain eased and I was able to move. The nurse held my arm gently as she aided me in sitting up. 

"Are you feeling any pain?" I opened my mouth to speak but immediately winced at the sudden aching of my jawline. 

"No no it's okay. Just nod or shake your head. You can't speak yet." I arched an eyebrow at her in confusion but she merely gave me a sad smile and passed me a water bottle with prescribed painkillers. 

"You have to take these twice a day." I nodded and took them. 

"You may call me Nurse Saunders Lucy. I have some news for you. Dr.Adderley told me to let you know that you will be bedridden here at the hospital until you're completely healed. According to him, you have a dislocated jaw line which we had to use a dose of a drug during the surgery which explains the sleep to awake pattern you were experiencing earlier." My eyes widened at the mention of surgery as I grazed my jaw with my fingertips trying to find the truth in her words. She didn't lie…I had surgery?. I only felt the bandaid over my jaw. Is that why I cannot talk? I looked up at her worriedly. 

"Don't worry the surgery was successful." She reassured. I don't care if the surgery was successful, well I do but, I care more about how in the world did my jaw get dislocated. 

"Besides that you had a twisted ankle and some form of bruise that seems to have been developed because of the toxic poison mixed with alcohol intake. Our team of doctors has removed the toxin from your body successfully but sadly that bruise is going to leave a scar." I gasped, resulting in a sharp pain knocking against my teeth. I flinched. Nurse Saunders passed me a notepad and a pen seeing that I had some things I wanted to say.

'How did all of this happen?'I wrote. Nurse Saunders widened her eyes. 

"You don't know?" I shook my head, unable  to comprehend how or why all of this was happening to me. It all went down so fast I didn't get the time to really dig deep into how it happened. All I remember is that I was drinking at a bar. It just doesn't make any sense to me at all. How did one drink turn into this mess?

"My apologies but we have no idea either. Though it makes sense you aren't aware of what happened considering that you were brought here by a teenage boy with strange pink hair." She tapped her chin. "Unfortunately he refused to give us any information about him whatsoever and merely visited you once or twice so we assumed he was an acquaintance of yours. However, we hired investigators to look into the situation since we can't just heal an injured person with no background info and it seems you will be in  some hefty trouble soon."  She crossed her arms. "Ms.Heartfilia can you please inform us why you were drinking in a club knowing full well that you're underage?" 

My jaw fell open. I don't even know what to say. I'm speechless. I know for a fact that if mom and dad find out I was drinking my life would be ruined. And Licy would be happy to laugh at my downfall. I'm horrified at the thought. What should I do? Should I own up to it? But then I would get in trouble! Should I lie? But then I would dig myself into an even bigger hole. Tears began to swell up in my eyes. I sniffled as they uncontrollably fell down one after the other. Where did this all go wrong? 

"Hush. You can't cry otherwise you would seize your recovery progress and worsen your health. I hope you can come up with an answer when the police arrive at your parents' doorstep." I couldn't take it anymore. My head was throbbing and the oxygen I desperately needed I felt was escaping my lungs. My chest ached and my heart hurt. Once again, the darkness began to cloud my vision. Spectacle by spectacle. Is this the end for me? Maybe this time it won't be so bad. At least I won't have to face the wrath I brewed up with my selfish mistakes.

Nurse Saunders smiled wickedly whilst dropping the clipboard on the floor and leaving the room with one last slam to the door. She left me by myself..to grovel in my own despair. I'm scared. 

Before I entered my mind the second time I was bored but this third time I was enveloped in nothing but fear and pain that may have sunk me further and deeper into the dark abyss of my mind.
