two.

Tick, tick, tick.

I awoke to the sound, my head ached. Staring off into the seemingly endless hallway just a few feet away from my hospital room door. My body just begging to leave this empty and foul smelling room. Turning , I spotted my mother and the doctor talking quietly, as if I was a child. Instead of interrupting , eavesdropping seemed like a better choice. Slowly, I leaned back and closed my eyes to feign sleep. 

"She still needs to stay in the hosptal for at least another .. weeks... tests ... sudden conciousness..."

Sad , I only heard bits and pieces of the conversation . Though it was enough to figure out they were trying to keep me in this wretched place. No, no , no! I would not stand for any of it. These heartless bastards dont understand. I wanted to go to college. I wanted to finish high school. They must understand that I need this.

I sat up in a swift motion and turned my head towards them to speak. 

"Why? Why do I have to stay here ? Don't I have to finish high school? I want to go to college mom. I don't deserve this!"

She broke down and started sobbing again, the doctor did his best to comfort her.

"I know you don't deserve this baby, I know.", sha made the words out finally , her voice still cracking at every pause.

The sight of her broke my heart? Why did she have to do that? Make me feel like it's my fault that she feels this way ? She's such a bitch. The doctor looked at my and tried to fake a smile.

"Well we will see what we can do. Maybe we can get you out in a day or two.", he said trying his best not to get frustrated with me.

I shook my head and laughed sarcastically at him , "Don't speak to me like I'm some disease you want to rid of. Just , please try?"

I tried my best to keep my cool. This man was starting to piss me off. I smiled and got up to pack my things.
