I Never Gave Up (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 1- Do I Know You?

****Alyssa's POV****

I abruptly woke up when I heard footsteps near me. I thought them to be my mothers, so I turned to lie on my side and mumbled something along the lines of "Hello" or "Good Morning". But to my surprise, no one answered back. I started opening my eyes, when suddenly; a loud beeping noise rang through the room. Reaching for the alarm clock next to my bed, I tried clicking snooze, but I couldn't feel my clock anywhere. I opened my eyes all the way and stared at a room that wasn't mine, and noticed that I was wearing clothes that were not mine. I looked around to find the source of the beeping, and I completely froze when I saw it. I slowly looked around and found hundreds of balloons, flowers, and envelopes lining the walls. Suddenly, something caught my eye on the wall by the window; there was a poster of 5 boys. I recognized four of them, but the other one was not ringing a bell; he was sort of attractive though... The rest of the walls were quite boring actually: Plain white, brown border nearest the floor, and a few posters talking about keeping your body healthy. I had barely any amount of thought as to where I was, when the door suddenly opened, and in walked a man with a few women. The man was looking at something on a clipboard, and the women just grabbed for my arms and stuck needles into them. After what felt like five minutes, they stopped acting as if I was their science experiment and let me free of their grasp. They walked out leaving me with this man, who I still don't know. He smiled politely and reached out his hand for me to take.

"Hello Alyssa; we've been waiting awhile to talk to you." He said before putting his hand back down to his side.

"Um, not to be rude or anything, but who the heck are you?" I stared at him in disbelief as he started to smile. This is not a laughing matter! Who does he think he is!?

"I'm Dr. Stevens, and you are at St. Clarence hospital." He said with calmly. I on the other hand, was flipping out!

"Why am I here? What happened? What stupid thing have I done this time? Where is my family?" I said all at once. He just chuckled again. Seriously, what he sees in this conversation that is funny, I don't know.

"You were in the middle of an accident on the highway with one of your friends, and you had gotten the biggest of the blow because you were the one closest to the road. You had some head injuries, and many broken bones, but we kept you alive, as you can see. And-" I stopped him abruptly.

"What do you mean had? I don't have injuries now?" I said very confused.

He sighed, which I didn't take as a good sign, and continued with what I assume was what he was going to say before I rudely interrupted.

"We had time to...what's the word I'm looking for...'fix' you before now," He stopped and I just gave him a look to continue with what he was saying. "Alyssa, you must promise that you won't freak out or panic when I tell you what I'm about to tell you. And know that you are very healthy now." Ok. Now I'm really scared. "Alyssa, we had to put you into a coma because of how you got hit. And...we have been waiting for a long time for you to come back to us. And the reason we had time to fix you up completely is because it's been three years since the accident."

My head started to pound, and a sharp pain went through my head right above my eyebrows, just like it always does. And I felt my head hit the pillow behind me. I laid there for a minute trying to comprehend what was happening, I have to be going crazy! This has to be a dream! It can't be real!

"It was real Alyssa, and I need you to try to accept the fact that it happened, and it's over. You might not remember that night as it actually happened, but it did happen."

I just closed my eyes and tried to pretend that this all was not happening. It's too much for me to take in at one time. My thoughts were suddenly broken when the doctor asked me a question.
