I awoke to a bright light shining above me. I looked around to see if I could see anyone but before my mind could comprehend what I was seeing someone shouted "She's awake!". Someone came rushing toward me "Miss Stacy's awake!" they said again. I looked around the room for clues to where I was but there were to many people around. "Where am I?" I asked. A young lady leaned over me and said "Everything's gonna be okay Miss Stacy, your in the hospital."

What. I'm in the hospital. What happened and how. Is Peter okay. Am I okay! "Why am I here?" I asked. The same young lady replied "Your boyfriend called us and said you were unconscious and you'd had some really bad shooting pain in your back.". I remember the pain in my back but I don't remember anything after that (obviously because I was unconscious.). "Why was I unconscious?".
"We looked into it but we could define a reason. But we will keep looking into it for you.".
"Okay thanks." A man with short black hair walked up to me and asked "Do you feel any pain now Miss Stacy?". I really wanted to get out of the hospital but I also wanted the pain to go away so I finally replied "There's an ache around where the bottom of my neck is and the middle upper of my back.". Looking down at his clipboard the doctor replied "Okay Miss Stacy thank you. Try not to move unless absolutely necessary." I nodded and the doctor walked away.

The young lady stayed with for quite awhile until she was needed. I stared up at the ceiling and my eyes started to tear up. What happened and why? Am I going to be okay?

A nurse walked in. I sniffed and whipped my tears to hide the fact I'd been crying. The nurse smiled at me and I smiled back. "Rough time?" she said.
"You have no idea." I replied sniffing again. Another doctor walked in towards the nurse. They were both whispering and the doctor pointed at me discreetly. I was confused so I asked them "What was that?"
"Pardon?" the doctor said in a confused tone. "What did you say?" I asked again. Nurse looked at the doctor as if to say come on say something. The doctor didn't say a word so the nurse just replied "Oh um we were just um discussing um what to do about um your back.". I looked up at them confused. Something was wrong. I don't what but it is. Not any of the nurses or doctors have even asked me if I wanted to see Peter or my family or even mentioned them. I know from experience nurses and doctors always discuss your home and your family to try and and take your mind of of the fact your in hospital. I hope Peters okay. I hope I'm okay but...but what if I'm not. NO! I can't think that way I need to keep hope alive.
