Waking up was strange. 

It felt as if I fell asleep for years, and woke up to a new life. 

It wasn't one of those cliche things where I see and hear everything going on, where I can think about the mistakes I made. I couldn't walk around and look over things. 

It was just plain blackness. Nothing. I don't even remember what really happened. 

All I remember was the car crash and my baby screaming. 

I don't know why the car crashed, I just remember screaming, wailing, blackness. 

"Mrs. Patterson, how are you doing?"

I was shaken from my thoughts by a rough voice. A man, looking to be in his mid forties, was standing in the doorway, walking over to me now. He had dark brown hair, little gray hairs showing here and there. His eyes were a light brown. 

"I guess I'm doing alright" I said. My voice was shaky, it was hard to talk.  

My head had a strong pain running through. The lights in the room were too bright. 

I was, slowly, starting to miss being unconscious. 

"That's good. Do you remember what happened?"

The doctor was looking at all of the monitors, writing down a bunch of different things on a clipboard. 

"I remember a car crash, that's all" I replied. My throat was hurting, needing water. I guess being asleep for that long would do that to you. 

The doctor nodded and finished writing stuff on the clip board, looking up at me and back down. 

"Do you remember why the car crashed? Because, there was a big chance of you passing. We would look to find the cause and fix it."

I was fastly growing annoyed by the doctor. Being questioned by someone who was monotone and didn't care, it drove me crazy. I know this man is doing this for money. Nothing else. 

He needs to put food on his table, buy a new car, something that doesn't have anything to do with me. 

"No."

He furrowed his eyebrows and wrote more stuff on the clip board. 

It felt like everything was a blur. Everything moving around me was all fuzzy. But me, I felt like I was on another world. Nothing made sense, I felt woozy, confused. 

"We're going to have to run some more tests but for now, someone wants to see you. As long as you're okay with it?"

The doctor looked at me waiting for an answer but I had none. 

How would come to see me? No one cared. I had me and my baby, that's all I needed to care about me. 

"Uhm, who is it exactly?"

"A man, his name is Justin, if I can recall" he told me. 

Justin? The Justin? The one who I broke his heart, lied to him and walked all over him? He came to see me?

Why?

"I- you-... Uhm, I guess?"

I didn't have a straight answer. It was all so confusing. Maybe... what if he knew about the baby? Or, he cared?

No, that's impossible. He moved on. There is someone new, and better, in his life. 

He could be just worried. I'm sure that's it. Only worried. Yeah....

The doctor, whom I still don't know the name of, nodded his head before walking out of the room. 

"Wait!"
