My Messed Up Life Because of Greek Gods!!

Chapter Two

When I woke up it was morning and I was in a hospital, I didn't know why I was but that's where I woke up. I tried to get up but I didn't notice Dr. Solstice and he stopped me and put me back down. So I laid there wondering what was going on. After a few minutes Dr. Grace came in holding a clipboard, that's not good at all.

"Oh good your awake," Dr. Grace said looking straight at me. I tried to sit up but got dizzy and fell back on the pillow.

"What's going on, why am I in a hospital?" a asked them, it was obvious to everyone I didn't feel good, and I didn't.

"Well Maiya, that's a good question. Dr. Grace why don't you tell her you're better at that stuff than I am."

"What stuff? What's going on?" I asked grim sing and clutching my side as I tried to sit up again, "oow oow oow"

"Take it easy, lay back down and we'll explain everything." Dr. Solstice told me as he eased me back down on the pillow. "While you were asleep at about 11 o'clock you started clutching your side and looked as if you were in pain so I took a look and it was tender to the touch and caused you more pain, you also had a very high fever, which means you needed your appendix removed so we brought you in and called your dad to sign the forms for us to take you into surgery, and he signed them so we took you to surgery and did what we had to but there were some unforeseen complications, but you will be fine, just don't sit up. You'll be here for a few weeks recovering so take it easy, OK?"

"All right I won't argue with you, but what unforeseen complications were there?" I told them rolling over to bury my head in my pillow in pain. Dr. Solstice called a nurse to bring in my pain medication and administered it to me through my IV. After a few minutes the pain started to subside and I rolled back over to look at them. Instead of seeing my doctors I saw my dad and Alex staring at me, but my dad didn't look mad because I had ran away he looked worried about me and I think a little sorry to. My dad walked over to me and kissed my forehead, I knew he wanted to hug me but he didn't want to cause me pain.

"Maiya why didn't you tell me you felt that way?" he asked me.

"You told them what I said?" I yelled at Dr. Grace at the same time sitting up fast and gasping in pain, making Dr. Solstice run over and start yelling at me because I tore my stitches and he now had to redo them.

"Lay down now!" He yelled at me making me flinch and gasp again as more stitches tore. Dr. Solstice made everyone leave so he could redo them. As he did he told me all the things I'm not allowed to do for the next few days, one of them was tearing my stitches. When he was done he called everybody back in and I really talked with my dad for the first time in over three years. Although no one told me what the unforeseen complications were, I'll get it out of Dr. Solstice later.

"Of course she told me I told her to tell me what you tell her if she thinks it's important." My dad told me.

"That's an invasion of privacy." I exclaimed wishing that I could get in his face, or for that matter even sit up. I had to close my eyes as a wave of pain washed through me and I stopped breathing until Dr. Solstice told me to breathe saying that the pain I'm in is my fault for moving so much. I ignored him and gritted my teeth against screaming, at the same time stuffing my head in the pillow again, and tightly shutting my eyes while begging for more morphine. After about five minutes Dr. Solstice finally gave in and the pain subsided again. I took my head out of the pillow and turned around as slowly as I could so I wouldn't tear my stitches again. "I hate hospitals."

"Well you're not leaving anytime soon, so get over it." Dr. Solstice told me he was really mad.

I responded by saying, "that's what you think," under my breath so nobody could hear me. I'm not actually going to run away from the hospital but now I'm tempted to, just to see what happens. I looked at my dad and he looked to be in pain, now I have to know why, "Dad are you OK?" I asked

"Yes, I'm fine I just don't like seeing you in pain. And Maiya I do love you and I am sorry, I never meant to make you feel like I don't love you." That had to be the nicest thing he'd said to me in years, I didn't know how to respond.

"Dad don't say that you've just been worried about Alex even if you neglected me."

"Maiya I'm sorry to, this is my entire fault I shouldn't have ever dragged you into this and I promise I'm going to get over mom." Alex told me.

"No Alex don't get over her just get over the fact that she's dead and there's nothing you can do about it, and also remember that she always loved you she'd rather herself be dead than you be dead." I told him.

"Alright visiting time is over and Maiya needs her rest, you've made great progress come back tomorrow and continue it. Goodbye." Dr. Solstice said.

Alex and my dad said goodnight and to get well soon then left with Dr. Solstice ushering them out of the room. When he came back he closed the curtains, checked the all the machines that were attached to me, and told me to go to sleep. I did as he said because I was exhausted and I fell into a deep dreamless sleep. I woke up at about two o'clock in the morning because my cut hurt, to find Dr. Solstice looking at me with a worried expression on his face.

"Huh? What is it?" I asked him groggily figuring it was best that I not sit up. I watched him watch me for a little while before he finally spoke.

"Are you in pain?" he asked me with that same expression on his face.

"Yea, that's why I woke up." I admitted to him. I thought this was important best to tell him the truth. Then he came over and touched my side making me scream, I heard the sound of feet running down the hall then my nurse burst through the door. Dr. Solstice looked at the machines one last time, at that time alarms started to go off and I couldn't get my breath back, that's when I passed out. Did I mention I have asthma? Because I do, it was really bad when I was little but had gotten better I don't know why it's started again.
