Victoria's head resurfaced just as a wave hit her again.
"John B!" She screamed, the waves pulling her in every direction.
"Vic!" She heard, another wave pulling her under. His voice was getting farther and farther away as the waves continued to hit her.
"JB-"
Her eyes opened with a start, but it was quickly winced as she felt the soreness in her body.
"Good morning." Her eyes snapped over, focusing on the fact that she was in a hosptial. "We've been waiting for you to wake up."
She looked at the nurse as she came closer to look at the screen next to her.
"Where am I?" Her voice not being able to reach above the whisper.
"Good morning!" Another woman walked in, a white coat over her scrubs. "I'm Dr. Adamson."
"Where am I?" Vic asked again.
"First, we have some questions for you. We have been calling you Jane Doe, can we get a name?"
"Not until you tell me-" She began to cough, her lungs burning as she tried to talk above a whisper. Her arm stung as her IV fell out as she tried to cover her cough.
"You were in rough shape when you found you washed up on the shore." The doctor said, putting her IV back in. "Been asleep for over 24 hours. You're a mystery to everybody."
Victoria ignored her, watching her every move as the nurse continued to track her stats on a tablet.
"Numbers are looking great. Once we get an identity, we'll be albe to discharge you."
"Where am I?" She asked again.
"Trident Medical Center." Dr. Adamson finally answered. "Now, can we get a name?"
"Do I get a phone call?"
"Ma'am, this will be much easier if we just get an identity."
Trident Medical Center. She somehow ended up in Charleston. Word of what happened for sure has reached here.
Victoria sat in silence, her eyes going back and forth between the doctor and nurse.
"Very well. We can keep you in our emergency care until tomorrow. After that we will have to send you over to MUSC for psychiatric care."
Psych?
"W-Was there anybody else?" She asked.
"Anybody else where?"
"With me?"
"No, why?" Her heart fell.
John B and Sarah didn't make it.
"I-I need to go home." She began to tug at the IV, blood coming from her arm as she pushed the sheet off of her.
"Ma'am, ma'am we need to-" Victoria cut the nurse off as she stood up.
"Miss, we cannot let you leave!" The doctor grabbed her arm.
"I need to go home!" Her voice was raspy as she was finally able to raise her voice. Tears were evident in her eyes.
"Change of plans." The doctor said, restrining her.
------------------------------
Victoria sat criss cross on a couch at MUSC medical center. She ran out of tears as she picked at the skin on her lip.
"We only have twenty more minutes, miss." The doctor, Dr. Middleton, sat across from her. "You are the talk of the town. Young woman found washed up and in coma for 30 hours, we want to know more. More about you. About what happened?"
