Chapter 25

Chapter 25

When I wake up, I'm in a hospital bed. There is a IV in my arm and I look around to see if anyone is in the room also. There's no one. I try to figure out why I'm in a hospital bed, but I can't seem to remember.

A few minutes later I hear a knock on the door followed by a doctor walking into the room.

"Hello, Jade. My name is Dr. Wentz."

"Hi."

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine I guess, a little confused."

"I figured you would feel that way. How long have you been awake?"

"Only a few minutes. Why am I here?"

"Well, a few hours ago your mum and yourself got into a car collision."

"What?! Where's my mum?"

"I think we should talk about that another time."

Why? What's wrong?"

"Right now we should worry about getting you better. How does your head feel?"

Before he mentioned it, I didn't even feel the bandage on my head.

"It feels fine."

"No pain?"

"Nope."

He nods his head and writes something down on his notepad.

"What about your ribs, how do they feel?"

"I don't feel them either."

"Fantastic, the medicine is still working. We put some numbing medicine on your head and rib cage so they wouldn't hurt."

"They got hurt?"

"Yes. You had a mild concussion and two crushed ribs. We had to perform surgery as soon as you got here so that you wouldn't bleed to death."

"Wow. I don't remember any of that."

"Well, you wouldn't have because you had a small case of amnesia. You should start remembering things in a few hours, maybe a day."

"How long have I been here?"

He chuckles and his laugh is really nice. He has this amazing smile also. He could easily pass as being in his early 30s, but he probably is older than that. He has blonde hair but due to his beard, I know he's a natural brunette.

"You got here a few hours ago. You probably don't remember me saying that before."

"Oh okay, sorry."

"It's okay, really."

"Can we talking about my mum? What happened to her?"

He furrows his eyebrows, breathes in and sighs. I don't think I'm ready for this news.

"Umm...how am I going to say this?"

He's thinking out loud.

"Well, umm, th-there's good news and bad news. Which would you prefer first?"

"Bad."

"Sh-She's in a coma. She got the most impact since the collision happened on the driver's side. She also has a broken leg and arm."

I feel as though my whole world is crumbling before me. I don't know how to comprehend the news that he just gave me. Trying not to burst into tears, I continue the conversation.

"What's the good news?"

"Even though she is in a coma, we expect her to only be in it for a few months. Nothing too major. If everything goes the way we hope it will, she'll be awake in a short time."
