I woke to a man's voice in my ear. He was speaking something I couldn't quite hear. My eyes quickly opened and I saw a bunch of people in medical uniforms surrounding me. What's happening?! The voices didn't utter a single word, I was left with my own thoughts for the time being. I w-
"She's alive!" Everyone around me cheered, interrupting my thoughts almost immediately. I still could barely hear anything. I was propped into a sitting position, and was given a cup of water. Was this all just a bad nightmare? Did any of this actually happen?! The nurses and doctors soon left, and I was stuck with Ms. Baxter once again.
"Oh my God, that wasn't supposed to happen."
"What happened?"
"Um-"
"The whole story," I interrupted.
"I can't imagine how you feel like right now." I realized I was on a hospital bed, my left arm attached to an IV. My head was throbbing, not because of the voices, for once, and my chest ached with every breath. Ms. Baxter began her story:
"So, I was cutting up some tomatoes to put into the salad I was making, when I hear something behind me. I turn, and there you are, pale as ever. I jump, because you caught me completely off guard. I drop the knife, and you start screaming, like you're going crazy, and I start to reach for the phone. I keep watching you, and your eyes start getting lighter and lighter, and then I assumed that they rolled back into your head. I quickly grab the phone and dial 9-1-1. Then, again, I hear you scream, scream only how a person going insane would've, and the next thing I know, you've fainted. I tell the dispatcher this, and she tells me that an ambulance is being arranged to come to the house.
"The medics arrive and take you in their ambulance, and here we are now. I can't begin to tell you how much this experience has scared me." I couldn't wrap my mind around this story. Sure it was believable, but virtually nothing in my life is believable. I had to choose between the scene I witnessed, or the story Ms. Baxter had just told me. I didn't want to choose now. I couldn't choose now, not without the voices at least. But they never bothered to showed up.
(Yes, another note: I will be continuing the story whether anybody reads it or not, because why not...)
