I woke up to blinding white lights, the soft buzzing of the bright lights filling the silence. The door squeaks quietly as if a mouse had opened it. I tilted my head to the side and caught a glimpse of someone. I think they're familiar, but I can't put a name to their face.
"Mary! I'm so glad you're alive and okay!" She entered and hugged me, well she tried as best she could.
Mary? Is that my name?
"I'm sorry, but... who are you?" I croaked out my throat being dry from the lack of fluid.
She stepped back and looked hurt. I swear I glossy eyes with tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Ah sorry. You probably don't remember me," she raised her hand up to the back of her neck.

"Hey idiot!" She raised her hand and slapped me.
"Hey! Stop it Arielle!" I shouted.

I flinch back into my hospital bed.

"Hey hey," Arielle whispered, trying to calm me down.
I move her hand away from me with a quick slap.
"Stop it Arielle!" I snap at her sharply.
She flinches back with tears threatening to spill over.
"Sorry," Arielle mumbled as she walked out with her head down.
"Why do I feel bad? It's not like we had a relationship right?" I thought outloud.
