Hide Away

Chapter Three -Where's Brae?!-

~30 Minutes~

I woke up on what felt like a cold surface. I don't remember what happened. I tried opening my eyes, but for some reason I couldn't. I tried fighting it and opening my eyes, but they wouldn't. My body was hurting so bad and I felt something poking me and touching me. I tried to talk to stop them because of all the pain.  After a couple of minutes I began to hear voices. 

"Set her up on an IV once you get her on the gurney. She needs fluids."

An IV? Fluids?! A gurney? Am I unconscious? What happened to me?! 

I tried so hard to wake up or to make a noise to make them know that I know what is going on. But I don't even remember what happened. All I know is that I was crying in the bathroom, thinking about the post that Gray had put up on Instagram, tagged me in, and I read all the comments that all his lovely, fantastic, super-sweet friends posted. But why am I so reframed right now? Why can't I talk? Walk? Move? Anything? Did I black out from anxiety? I don't even remember. 

I wanted so badly to tell them that I was awake. I tried moving, but my body hurt. Then I heard,

"Ready? On the count of 3, lift her onto the gurney so we can wheel her out into the ambulance."

Wheel me out? Ambulance? They can't do this! I'm at school, I can't remember where in school, but I'm in this prison-hole, someone is going to see me!? But I don't know how to get them to stop. Until I realized it was too late to even try, because then I heard

"One. Two. Three. Lift!"

I then felt my body being risen off the ground. Like I was levitating off the cold bathroom floor. After a few seconds, I felt my body being placed on something hard, cold, and stiff. The gurney. This is it. I will be more of  laughing stock at school. Public humiliation. Thank you firemen, police officers, and EMT's, you just made my high school career 10x worst than it already was. 

As they were wheeling me, I could hear everyone's comments in what sounded like the hallway. 

"Who is that girl?"

"Did she just commit suicide at school?"

"I've never seen her here before!"

"Isn't that the girl in Graysen Hadlee's instagram post?!"

"I'm so happy that girl is out of here, she never deserved to be here."

Hearing all of this as I'm being strolled through the halls, I was happy that I wasn't awake right now because I couldn't bare seeing the people's faces saying these things about me without wanting to die even more than I had already wanted to. 

I then heard an all too familiar voice responding to someone's question.

"Hey did you hear!? There's a girl being rushed to the hospital from the girl's bathroom right now."

"No way! Seriously? Do we know who she is?! Is she hot?" 

"Nah dude! I have never seen this girl around here before. She must be new or something. She looks pretty hot though. Really skinny, brown long hair. Looks perfect to me!" 

"Seriously? She sounds hot! We need to find out who she is so we can give her a Welcome Back from the hospital. Get on it Trey!"

"I definitely will Gray!"

Gray? As in my older brother? Graysen Hadlee?! Is that who was really just talking right now? Trying to hit on me? When I'm unconscious? He doesn't even care. He didn't even notice that I left the gym from watching the boys play basketball.
