*beep* *beep* *beep*
My eyes fluttered open. The first thing i saw was Josh sat on a chair next to my bed asleep
To my right I saw a monitor and different machines I was hooked to. My head pounded. My whole body ached. I felt dizzy and tired.
A short blonde woman walked into my room with a clipboard. I'm guessing she was the nurse.
"Hey there love, how're you feeling." She said in a strong Irish accent with a smile whilst checking the machines and scribbling notes down.
"Terrible" I groaned.
'Aww, you'll be ok. You were hit by a car, you were in a coma for 2 weeks, you've caused a lot of damage to your legs so we will have to keep you in here for a while longer, then we will give you some crutches to use after. You've got a lot to thank for this boy. Joshua I think his name was. He's been here all day and almost everyday since the past 2 weeks, bringing flowers and checking in on you and stuff." She said giving me a wink whilst walking out.
I turned to see him asleep on the chair. He looked so peaceful so I didn't wake him. I took a small sip of water but my hands were shaking and I dropped it and it split everywhere. The cup dropped to the floor causing Josh to wake up.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you" I apologised.
"Lauren!" He bolted up.You're awake, it was all my fault I'm sorry I wasn't thinking, you were there then Ashleigh and then you ran and the car and....oh my god I missed you...wait I mean...uh." He looked away embarrassed and I giggled.
"I'm just so glad your ok" he said with a smile.
"So am I" I replied.
I tried to clean up the spilt water when a sharp pain shot through my arm.
"Ouch!"
"Oh gosh, here let me help you, sit back down, you need rest" He said whilst taking the wet covers off my bed and replacing them with new clean ones.
"Thank you" I said.
"No problem, hey can I get you anything? Are you hungry?"; He asked.
"Umm no thanks I'm fine" I lied, I didn't want to sound rude.
"You are, you must be, not even a coffee? He insisted
"I don't want you to waste your money on me, but thanks"
"I'm getting you something and not taking no for an answer. So a coffee? Cool ill be back in a second"
I smiled and looked around the hospital room. I saw the bunch of flowers Josh had bought me. They were beautiful. A phone started ringing beside me. It was Josh's. A call from someone called 'Emily'. I'll tell him when he gets back. I sat back in my bed and thought about things. I thought about my parents and Ashleigh. I thought about the day of the accident. I thought about Josh. And then before I knew it he was back.
"Here's your coffee" he said, handing me it.
I smiled and thanked him. "You should be go soon, it's getting late, I don't want you to be getting back late" I said.
"It's Friday" he replied. "You get let out Sunday so I can stay here with you over the weekend, to keep you company. Only if you want to."
"I'd love you to!" I said.
"Great. Do you want me to pick you some stuff up from your home?" He offered.
My home....
My parents..
Do they know I'm here? Have the hospital tried to contact them? Have they forgotten me?
