Confused. Feeling lost my eyes fire open. I gasp looking around me. It feels beautiful to breathe in oxygen. I lay on a hospital bed every second a beeping noise goes off.
I wipe my forehead. Sweat runs down me non stop. I look beside me. A vial sits on a table. I look at my stomach. Blood begins to ooze from the bandages. I struggle to breathe. I collapse to the floor trying to grab the syringe. I cough.
"Help." I groan trying to yell.
Pains begin to fade. My heart beats faster: I slam my hand onto the table and use all my strength. I groan lifting myself. I clutch the table then throw my hand at the vial.
I clutch it and immediately jab it into my stomach. The pain drifts away. I get tired. I look at the label on the vial then at the description.
It reads: "If patient feels pain inject into stomach then let rest. If begins to loose control of breathing give CPR."
I sigh in relief knowing I didn't inject myself with the wrong syringe. I close my eyes focusing on the beeping I drift away into my own imagination falling asleep.

I open my eyes then sigh. I look at the entry to the room where Christina now stands smiling. I smile at her. She walks over to me.
"Hi." I say to her smiling.
"Hey. How you feeling?" She asks kissing me on the forehead.
I smile. "Like crap." I reply.
She sighs.
"I kind of expected that as an answer." I smile then laugh wincing at every one.
"I made you some muffins. They're your favorite. Mixed berry."
I smile. "Thanks."
She sets the box on the table. I cough. Each cough is a pack of pain. She kisses me on the forehead.
"I've gotta go." She says. I smile.
"Love you." I say pushing hair out of her face.
She kisses me on the forehead then leaves the room. I look at the box of muffins and see a paper on top of it. I grab it and read it.
"Get better soon! Save some muffins!
I smile and put the note back on the box. I check my watch 10:00 PM. I sigh and close my eyes. I open my eyes then wipe my forehead.
I grab my phone from my pocket and check my notifications. Just a bunch of get well texts and loads of missed calls. I set it by the muffin box and drift to sleep slowly.
