Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

My eyes fluttered open and I look around me. I was in a hospital bed that I vaguely remembered. The room was brightly lit and everything was white and clean looking. There was no noise except the sound of the monitor that was hooked up to my hand along with a bunch of wires and an IV. I felt numb. I couldn’t feel anything.

Memories began to flutter through my mind. The concert, the crash, my mom, the Gaze, the limo. I gasped. Where was my mom?

“MOM!” I screamed trying to move out of bed. I felt a sharp pain go through my leg as I stepped down and quickly laid back down. I looked down at my leg. It was casted from my knee down and on my thigh I had bandages and a metal contraption. I then looked at the rest of my body. My wrist had a brace on it, and there where bandages wrapped around my waist. I had bruises covering my skin. How could this happen to me?

“MOM!” I sobbed and let out another scream. I Needed my mom! I needed her NOW!

A woman walked in. I remember her; she was the one who was talking to me while I was in pain.

“Ali, look at me calm down. I am Doctor Martin. Do you remember what happened?”

I just cried harder and screamed “Where is my mom?! I need my mom!”

“Ali I can answer all of your questions if you answer mine.”

I let out a whimper but decided to tell her what I knew. “There was an accident. Something hit us, and then there was pain and I was alone.” I could barely speak because I was sobbing violently.

“Ali that’s right, sweetie this was a terrible accident. You are so lucky to be alive. When the limo hit your car, your vehicle was crushed. Your Femur, tibula and fibula on your right side were broken on impact. Metal pieces also impaled your leg but we were able to stich it up. You have four broken ribs, and broken wrist, and a minor concussion. Ali I know you probably don’t see this  now but you are incredibly lucky.”

“Where. Is. My. Mother.” I frown appeared on her face. Somewhere in my head I knew what she was going to say but I couldn’t believe it.

“Ali I am so sorry. The vehicle that hit your car had so much force. Ali your mother died from the impact. When the paramedics arrived there was nothing we could do.” She grabbed my hand. “I’m so sorry sweetie.”

Pain, not the physical kind of pain. This was so much worse. My injuries would heal, but my heart could never heal.

“Mom….NO! YOUR LYING! GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!” I sobbed and screamed. Nothing would make the pain go away.

I Pictured my mom in my head. Her smile, her laugh…..I would never hear it ever again.

“Why me! WHY!”

I sobbed for what seemed like hours. Then there was a knock on the door. Nurses came in periodically giving me pills and putting things in my IV but I just continued to sit there hoping there was something they could do to stop this pain.

An old guy dressed in police uniform walked in and pulled up a chair. I sat looking straight ahead.

“Ali Carson I am Officer Frank. I know you probably don’t want to hear this but there are some things about this accident you should be aware of. Your vehicle was hit by a limo, the drivers name was Brendan Kennedy. Along with your mother he was killed on impact. The passengers of the limo were fine-

“The Gaze” I interrupted finally looking at him. Tears streamed down my eyes and I watched him nod.

“Yes The Gaze, the band was in the limo and they were unharmed. They were sent to a hospital near where there next concert will take place.”

Before he could finish I interrupted again. “The Gaze….were unharmed. If it weren’t for them my mom would still be alive! What the HELL! My mom is gone and it’s all their fault! UHG! I Hate them! I HATE THEM! Mommy please come back!” I sobbed once more but Officer Frank continued.

“Ali you are a minor and if we don’t find a relative or someone to take you in you will be put into the foster care system. We called your father, but he declined. We also call your to aunts in Oregon and they also declined. We will keep looking Ali. I am so sorry for your loss.”

Even through my sobs I could tell her didn’t mean it. He was just doing his job. He didn’t care about me. NOBODY cares about me. I’m alone and nobody wants me.
