What if she doesn't like me. What if THEY don't like me. I haven't seen them in like 2 years. What if I'm the only one there, or if it was cancelled and I just make a fool of myself. What if-

"Delilah?" I hear my dad say next to me breaking me from my thoughts.

"Yes daddy" I say a little confused at his expression. I guess he was talking for a while but I wasn't paying attention.

"Do you need to bring a present to the party? Is it a birthday or..." He trails off.

"No it's just a small get together" I say. My friend Lillian invited me to a small get together just for fun because we haven't talked in a while. She is a little older than me that's probably why I'm so nervous. I have no clue how many will be there, but I hope there will be quite a bit so it won't be awkward.

"Ok, well we are almost there it's a cou-" my dad is cut off by the sound of something screeching against the ground. I look toward my dad to see why he stopped in the middle of his sentence but when I do there is a huge force shoving me forward. I feel the force of me spinning in circles and the sound of glass shattering and the sound of metal hitting the ground.

When the spinning comes to a stop I finally open my eyes after what felt like forever and I see bright red and blue lights flashing and the sound of people yelling orders. I feel myself being picked up and carried away. As I'm being carried away I see a large group of people surrounding what looks like someone or something laying on the ground. As I'm about to say something I feel my eyelids closing and all the lights and sound is blocked out.

May 20, 2006

"Wake up! Delilah please wake up!" I hear someone yell but I can't bring myself to open my eyes.

"Delilah please! I've never seen anyone sleep for this long before! please wake up" I hear the same voice yell again. I finally gathered the last of my strength to open my eyes. As I do I see an unfamiliar wall and floor, also I see an unfamiliar woman in front of me. She has long brown hair with big brown eyes and bags under her eyes and their red and puffy, I guess she has been crying for a while.

"Oh my god Delilah your awake!" She yells. Man, she really doesn't have an inside voice. But that's the last of my worries. Why am I here anyways? And who is this woman In front of me? I've never seen her before in my life.

"Umm I'm sorry ma'am but who is Delilah and who are you?" I say, But right as I say that she gasps and breaks down in tears while falling to the ground with her head in her hands.

"The doctors where right..." She whispers after a while of crying.

"The doctors where right!!" She yells with a hiccup in between. What is she talking about. I need answers, now.

"Right about wh-" I was cut off by a door opening. A woman in all white walks in with a clipboard, probably a nurse judging by the room.

"Hello there ma'am, Im here with more results". The lady says sadly handing the woman the clipboard. The woman is crying silently now but that changes quickly when she reads the clipboard further. She breaks down in tears again, but doesn't fall to the floor this time she just runs out of the room.

"Hello there sweet heart I'm glad your awake" the lady says very kindly.

"I'm sorry but where am? How long have I been sleeping? What happened? What is her problem? Is my name Delilah? Who was that lady? How old am I?" I ask a little too fast. I just need answers

"Wow ok calm down." She giggles. Why is she giggling in a time like this? This isn't funny at all!

"You're name sweetheart, is Delilah. You were-" she was cut off by the same unfamiliar lady walking in the room. I guess she went to the bathroom to clean up because she looks better now.

"Can I see you for a second ma'am, in private" the unfamiliar lady asks the nurse. Glancing at me.

"Umm...yah sure. Just a second sweetheart." She says to me and turns around to walk through the door. The door closes shortly after and you can hear muffled voices threw the door. After a few minutes they both come walking back inside the room. The nurse looks less happy then before and the unfamiliar lady looks sad.

"Ok sweet heart" the nurse says sadly. What did the lady tell her?

"As I was saying, your name is Delilah, you were playing in a playground and-" she pauses for a moment. Taking a deep breath. She looks so unpleased. Almost guilty.

"You umm, you fell off of the monkey bars and hit your head...pretty hard." She says with the same unpleasant face. Is she lying? I could honestly care less right now I just want to know the rest of the story.

"Ok and...who is she?" I say nodding my head to the woman with red puffy eyes.

"That...that is your mom." Now the nurse sounds really sad. What's going on!

"Wait what! How come I haven't seen her in my life then?" I ask so confused. There is no way she could have been my mom if I haven't seen her before in my life.

"Here comes the bad news...you have permanent brain damage. So you basically don't remember anything besides basic things, like talking" she says looking down. While the nurse was talking she has been slowly making her way to my hospital bed where I lay in a weird white gown.

"Oh..." Is all I can manage to say at this moment. I'm in total shock right now. Before the nurse gets a chance to speak I speak again.

"So how long have I been asleep?" I ask a little too loudly.

"You have been asleep for a couple weeks." Wow that's a long time how could my body manage that without food or water?

"Oh...and how old am I?" I ask again not giving anyone else time to pipe in.

"Your 12 years old sweetheart" the nurse answers a little to quickly. My 'mom' has not talked this whole time. She looks distracted and lost in thought.

"So um...mom... Can you umm...tell me your name please" I say slowly. I don't even think she heard me. She's too distracted.

"Mom? Mom!" I says louder. She finally turns her attention to me and takes a deep breath. Her eyes are still puffy but not as bad. You can see her mascara smearing though.

"Oh...ummm...yes I'm sorry...my name is Macy" she says slowly. I don't know what's happening but I feel myself drifting off again. I feel my eye lids get heavy and the sounds and light of the room get blocked out....
