Without You

Chapter 30

I open my eyes and see a white ceiling. Not this again. I try to sit up but pain shoots through me. I try to sigh and then there's more pain. Arm is in a cast for some reason. Just then a nurse comes in.

"Hello Allison Carter, my name is Kayla, how are you feeling?" A woman with long (like down to her butt) silky black hair and darker skin says to me.

"Not the best, but may I ask where I am?" I ask.

"You are at Westmount Square Medical Centre in Montreal Canada. You were struck by a car? Do you remember that?" She intently looks at me. And starts fiddling with medical instruments around me.

"Yes well I was walking and I just remember a screech, blood, and a scream. Uh is anyone here I uh know?" I ask quietly. As she's checking my blood pressure and other stuff.

She gives me a sad look. "Sorry, we are still trying to get a hold of Ms. Evans. She doesn't respond to any phone calls and you don't have another contact in your files that would respond." She paused. "Now let me tell you about your diagnosis. You were stuck by a car at 5:36 PM on Monday evening. The driver, male, around age 21 was suspected to have struck you intentionally. The police have him in custody currently with just minor injuries. You my darling have fractured your left radius and humorous, which is your pretty much entire left arm. You also compound fractured your wrist. You have been out for 26 hours, it's around 6:30 right now, and you have a relatively major concussion. If you ask me you got out relatively easy." Before I could say anything she continued. "I know it's a lot to take in, here is your cell phone that was found on the scene of the accident, not broken so you can try and contact a family member. You have gotten quite a few calls and texts. I will come back and check on you a little later. You well have a few scans and such tomorrow so rest up sweety."

She hands me my phone and starts to walk out of the room.

"Excuse me? What if no relative can get here? Could I sign myself out of here?"

"Sorry honey, you are a minor." She sadly smiles and walks away.

I pull out my phone

I didn't even bother to read any messages. I just called the Plattsburgh Mental Hospital.

"Hello?" The woman on the other line says.

     "Hello this is Allison Carter may I please speak to Autumn Brown?"

"May I ask who is this?"

     "I'm her cousin."

"She is in group therapy right now."

     "I'm sorry this is urgent though."

"One second." She mumbles.

     "..."

"ALLISON WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN." Autumn yells into the phone.

     "Autumn I won't be there on time."

"Allison why haven't you been responding." She sounded really pissed off.
