Till Death do we Part

The Movement

My eyes fluttered open to the sound of sirens blaring. Where am I? What happened? My vision is blurry and I can't see much but I feel someone put their arms around me and lift me out of the car.

I'm placed on a gurney or at least I think that's what it was, I wasn't really thinking straight. In fact I don't think I was thinking at all. The last thing I can remember from the crash was being wheeled into the ambulance.

I tried talking but it was just a faint murmur. "Mom. Dad."

I heard I voice saying "there fine just rest." And that was the last thing I remembered as I drifted off to sleep with only one thought in my mind. Where am I?

My eyelids felt like they were 200 pounds heavier than they used to be. I was too tired to open them but to be honest I didn't really want to. I knew where I was anyway.

I could hear the steady beeping and could feel the tubes against my skin. I felt the soft blankets around me and felt safe for once. I finally found the strength to open my eyes. I was in a light blue room, like a normal hospital, and all that machine stuff was beside me.

I heard soft footsteps coming towards my room as a nurse walked in. "well good morning miss. You're looking a lot better today, how do ya' feel" she said in an enthusiastic voice.

"fine" is all I could murmur at the time. She looked at me sympathetically and then smiled like she had the most brilliant idea ever. "they got really good pudding in the cafeteria miss and I bet your hungry, would you like me to get some for ya' miss?" she said in her slight country accent.

On a regular day I would have said yes in a heartbeat but at the moment pudding didn't sound so good. In fact food didn't really sound good at all even though my tummy was growling like a hungry wolf. "no, I'm fine thank you" I said and tried to be as polite as I could.

I tried sitting up in bed but the nurse came over to me and told me I should lie back down. I didn't feel bad at all though. it must be the drugs, so I laid back down despite my urge to sit up.

"your going to be released tomorrow ma'am" said the nurse. well that was good news I guess. at least I didn't have to spend a month In this place. hospitals give me the creeps.

"how are my parents?" I asked. the nurse looked down at her feet. she quickly said "Il go get ya' something to eat just incase ya' get hungry" like she was pretending she didn't hear me.

she rushed out of the room and I was left alone for a long time. I don't even thing she went to get me food. I tried to getting someone's attention by waving my hands or even yelling at them but they couldn't hear a thing through the door.

I finally gave up just as a doctor came into my room. he looked young and I wasn't sure he was even a "doctor" yet. he sat next to me and sat his clipboard on his lap. he looked at me with sympathy in his eyes.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news" he said "your parents-"

I didn't even let him finish his sentence before I burst out in tears.
