In Love: With My Brother(#Wattys2016) Book 1

Chapter 5: WHITE CRACKER BOX

*Connor's Point of View*

I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar bed and room. I looked at my surroundings. White walls, white doors, white ceilings, white curtains, white bed, white bed sheets. Everything is white except for the chairs, a small table, and a few potting plants.

Oh great! I thought. I'm in the hospital for the third time! I mentally sighed. I heard the door open and saw a woman with a white coat on, even her shoes are white. Can't have at least some colr?White isn't such a soothing color at all.

"I see you're awake. I was just coming in here to check on your vitals and how you're doing." she said. I saw the name tag and it read Doctor James.

"How long have I've been out?" I asked feeling a bit dazed.

"You've been out for five hours. it's currently 12:30 am." she replied as she looked at the monitors.

"Oh." was all I said back.

"Well, your vitals look good so far. We will have you stay here until sometime Saturday afternoon. We just want to make sure everything is alright with you." Dr. James explained.

"Okay, so I'll be able to go to school Monday. right?" I asked.

"Yes. If you feel any dizziness at any time Monday, contact your family and they'll contact me." she replied. Family, The one thing I've never been able to have for the past three years now and still counting. In about a few weeks, the Whites Family will be annoyed and stressed out from me and turn em back in.

"Alright." I started to say. "Thank you Doctor James."

"Your welcome." she said while smiling. "Do you need anything else? Do you want me to notify your family?" she added.

"N-no!" I said quickly. "You can just tell them that I'm fine. I feel really tired and I need some rest."

"Um...okay. I'll tell them how you're doing. If you need anything, just press that blue button in the wall to your left." Doctor James explained. She left and I just stared at the ceiling thinking about the previous times I've passed out.

The first time I was with the Dawson family. It happened when I was in school. I had to take some kind of medication after I ate. Well, somehow, a group of three found out that I took pills and started bullying me and teasing me about it. I immediately reacted by yelling at them.

We yelled back and forth until one of them finally pushed me. I pushed back and they did the same again. This time, I fell to the cafeteria floor. One of their friends said it was almost 1:00 and that lunch was almost over. I had started to panic that I haven't taken my medicine. I hyperventilated and the last thing I heard was ringing in years.

The second time I passed out, it wasn't the cause of taking my medicine. I was with the Marsh Family. More like the Marsh couple. They had problems conceiving babies so they decided to adopt me. A broken 14 year old boy. I was confused on why this young couple didn't choose a younger kid. They told me they wanted to see how it would go with me and that they would accept anyone.

I started to have terrifying nightmares about what my mother had done to me two weeks into staying with the Marshes. I don't know why they started to appear now. They had many opportunities to appear, but it had to choose specifically now.

Soon, I started to get out of hand and acted crazy and ended up in the hospital. The Marsh couple wanted to keep me, but the people who handled me said it was best to take a break and not see me for awhile. I never saw them again. They were the only family that actually wanted to keep me, maybe.

Then, two years later, I'm ended up here.

I got bored looking at the white walls a few hours later, so I decided to get some rest and sleep.
