I woke up dizzy, I didn't know what was going on. I had a terrible headache and the room was spinning.

I laid my head against the pillow and closed my eyes, once again I tried to open my eyes and look at the room, this time it wasn't spinning, it was stable.

I looked around, the room was small, it was blue and had a glass door with closed white curtains, there was a small bathroom and all I saw was a TV, a couch and a small table with food in it, on my left side there was a night stand with a telephone, paper, pen and some flowers. On my right side there was a monitor that indicated my heart rate, tubes and machines that indicated lots of things I don't know what they are.

I looked down and saw the white sheets covering my legs and part of my thorax, I looked at my right arm and I had a tube wired to it, I guess it was whey or something like that. My other arm that held an "EMINƎM" wrist band was aching, I felt like my veins where about to explode. I looked down to my feet and noticed they where tighten to the bed, I tried to release my feet but I couldn't.

From the window I couldn't see much, all I could see was a bunch of people walking by and nodding at each other.

I saw a wire with a red button and started pushing it anxiously.

-Good morning sunshine- I heard a voice coming from the door. A nice lady with a pink robe came into my room. -How are you feeling today? Did you get enough sleep? Oh!-She laughed.- What am I even saying?

-I've a headache. Wow! I don't even remember the last time I was awake! It felt like forever. Where am I anyways?

-Wait, what?- The nurse asked worried.

-Where am I? - I asked

-No, no what did you say before that?

-That I don't remember the last time I was awake?

-Yes. Umm excuse me for a minute. - She said as she turned her back on me and left the bedroom.

Minutes later a nice old man came into my room, he was tall and had grey hair and a white mustache, he must've being about 56 years old.

-Hello, how are you feeling today?- He asked in a low voice.

-Where am I?

-Do you remember your name?

-Yes- I stopped to think a few seconds. -Jad...- I said weakly. -Jadee.

-Great, do you know how old you are, Jadee?

-twenty four?- I asked

-Yes, you just turned twenty four yesterday.

-Oh- I said surprised. -Where am I?

-You're in Saint Anthony Hospital, here, in Chicago.

-Chicago? What am I doing in Chicago?- I asked as I tried to sit in the bed but the laces on my ankles wouldn't allow me to. -And what is all this?- I asked annoyed.

-You don't remember what happened?- The doctor asked worried.

-No, all I remember is waking up here.

-Oh that's not good at all!

-Why?- I asked trying to pull the tubes out of my veins.

-You've to stop that or you'll hurt yourself.

-No, get me out of here, now!

-I'm afraid I can't do that.

-Why not? Let me go!- I said as I pulled the laces off my ankles.- Take this off my feet and let me go.

-Jadee, wait. We can't let you go because you are in treatment.- The doctor said trying to calm me down.

-Treatment? What treatment? Does Katy... Where's Katyenka?

-Katyenka? Who's Katyenka, Jadee?-The doctor asked as he did sings to the nurses so they would come into my room.

-Katy, where is she?- I said as one of the nurses pulled my aching arm and put a needle against it.-No! Where's Katy? You gotta let me see her, you can't do this.- I said as I pushed the nurse away from me.-Get off of me! Leave me alone you are crazy, let me...- I tried to finish the sentence but the sedative the nurse gave me started to kick in and I slept before I could realize it.
