Trying to Find Pew

Crystals POV

As I finally wake up, I can hear my Mom and Dad's voices across the room.

I slowly sit up, realizing I’m in a hospital bed.

“Wh-what happened? Where am I?”

“Oh my god, thank goodness you’re up.” My mom said, running over and squeezing me tight.

“Back to the first question please.” When she finally lets go.

“You were in a severe car accident.” Says my dad with a sad, gloomy look in his eyes.

“Is.. Everything okay?” I ask, getting more and more worried.

My mom gets cut off by a doctor walking in the room.

“Well Crystal, I must say, you are very VERY lucky to be alive. That was a pretty brutal accident.”

“I.. What?” I said, shocked.

“You hit your head pretty hard through the windshield. It’s great that you have your memory. We will need to do more tests to make sure everything is okay. Can you stand up for me?”

I try to stand, but don’t move.

“Crystal, stand up for the doctor.” My mom says, sounding very concerned.

“I.. I can’t..” I say, feeling the tears start to build up. “I physically can’t stand. I can’t even move my legs.”

The doctor looks at my parents and asks them to step outside with him. I have a feeling I know what they are going to say when they walk back in..

The doctor walks in, and before the door shuts I can hear my mom crying in the hall.

“You are paralyzed from the waist down.”
