I wake up, there's lights on the ceiling, glaring in my face. Fuck, it's so bright.
"She's waking up. She's waking up!"
I hear someone say. What the fuck, were people watching me sleep. I prop myself up on my elbows. And I get a better look. I'm in a hospital.
"Why am I in a hospital??"
"Lucid, I'm Doctor Fawn."
"Hi, can you explain why I'm in a hospital? Please." I said in a trembling voice. I'm so scared.
"Lucid, this isn't gonna be easy."
I just immediately break down.
"Where's my family?! Are they okay?!"
"Honey, please calm down. There was a fire in your house. You passed out from the smoke. And your family, I'm afraid, didn't make it."
"Wh-what? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT?!" A pained expression came over him. I can't believe it. My older brother Alex, my mom, my little sister Tracy, my cat Leo. All gone..
"So they all died? My siblings and my mom?"
"I'm afraid so.."
"I know this is a weird question but.. did my cat also die."
"Actually, the cat is still alive."
"At least, one survived..."
"That's true. Think of positives."
"What happens from here, Doctor? Where am I gonna go? My grandparents passed and my mom was an only child."
"What about your father?"
"Fuck him. He abandoned us."
"Well, I don't know hun. We're gonna have to let cps take care of all that."
"Shit.. excuse my language. I'm sorry. I'm just.. scared."
"Understandable. Actually, I have to make a call. I'll be back. Do you need anything?"
"Water, please."
"Absolutely, I'll get the nurse."
My family is dead. And I have no where to go. I'm most likely going into a group home or a foster home or some shit. Okay cool. Might as well end my life now, I've got nothing to live for.
