If the raindrops fell differently

Chapter 3

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!... I was awoken by that annoying sound. Once my eyes finally focused, I realized that I had no idea where I was. Or... who I was.
"Jane, Jane are you awake?" asked a soothing voice. A man sat beside me. He was tall and had dark hair all under a ball cap with some letters on it. My vision was still too blurry so I couldn't make them out. He wore jean overalls and a sweater and honestly he smelt like a pig.
"Sure... I guess so. But just one question..." I asked him.
"What is it honey?"
"Who are you? And where am I? And who is Jane?" I wondered. Jane, that is a pretty name. And why did he call me honey? I was so confused.
"Oh, oops. I guess that that was more than one question," I realized.
     The man's face dulled. Obviously, I was supposed to know who he was and who I was. But I didn't and there was nothing that I could do to remember.
I looked over. Attached to my arm were a bunch of tubes and a big metal post with some sort of numbering on it. The tubes scared me. What were they? Outside the big window was a busy street. I was very high up. It scared me even more that the tubes. The man still hadn't answered any of my questions.
"I'm your father. And your in a hospital, you're Jane." He finally replied. What? Why was I in a hospital?
"And I'm here because..."
"You had an accident on the bus a few days ago. You slammed into the window and it shattered. That is probably why you don't know anything." The thought made me shiver. My head isn't working properly because it smashed into a window.
      I noticed about 4 other people standing next to this man you claims to be my father.
     "So if you are my father, who are they?" I asked, struggling to point at the other people. The tubes pulled on my arm so I stopped trying. The oldest looking woman barely said,
     "I am your *sniff* mother. This is your *sniff* big sister Sadie. And this is Rebecca, *sniff* and here is Chris." She could barely get the words put of her mouth. Suddenly, she started to cry and cry. Honestly, I didn't know if or when she was gonna stop. The girl apparently named Rebecca, tried to calm the lady down. After a while she did.

     Into the room came a tall woman with darker skin, brown eyes and really bouncy black hair. She wore a long, thin white coat with a name-tag. But it was too far away for me to read it, and one thing was for sure. She had really white teeth.
     "How are you Jane?" the lady asked me calmly. I didn't exactly know how to answer her question. That was when I realized that there was a ginormous cast on my left foot. It was lifted up by this sling looking thing attached to the ceiling.
     "I don't really know. I don't feel much... Anywhere..." I said slowly. It was true. I couldn't feel my legs, my face or my right arm.
     "But I do have a headache. A lot actually," I continued. My "mother and father" started whispering all of these things to the lady. Which I still didn't know what she was here for. Was she someone else in my family?
     "I hate to interrupt, but how am I supposed to go to the bathroom? I can't really... ummm... move." I said, squirming around.
     "I'll take you, Jane," the nice lady in the coat said. She grabbed the bed that I was laying on, attached the sling looking thing onto a hanging over part on the bed, and in her other hand, took the metal pole with the tubes attached to it. Then I started to role. Down the hallway we went.
     "Um excuse me?" I started. "Who are you exactly?"
     "Oh me? I'm Katie, I'm a nurse here at the hospital." She answered me in a very soothing voice. And so did everyone else here when they talked to me.
     "So, when am I leaving?" I tried to ask, not sounding rude.
     "Well, you will have to be in a wheel chair for a while, then you will have to go to physical therapy, then-"
     "Wait!" I cut her off. "What is physical therapy?"
     "It's where you will go to strengthen your legs. Anyways, you will probably go home tomorrow. Depending on how you are feeling. Ah! Here we are the bathroom."
     "Uh how am I supposed to go to the bathroom?" I asked cluelessly.
     "Oh right, give me a minute," Katie replied. I liked her, she was funny. I hoped that I would be seeing more of her.
