"Woah take it easy!" A lady that I was learning was my mother told me.

I scooted back into the hospital bed, she patted my arm. As she took a seat next to me I gave her a weird look, I was still trying to cope with this whole thing.

She leaned forward in her seat "I still can't believe you don't remember." Is all she stated.

The humidity in the room was thick and I was more focused on not going to sleep. I'm always doped up on hospital medication, it terrible they want me to sleep but if I could choose to I'd never sleep again.

Apparently I was in a coma for two years, when I woke up which was about 5 or so months ago I was in bad shape. I couldn't eat on my own, I couldn't speak, or walk.

"Hunny, I'm gonna leave now are you going to be okay?" The lady grabbed up her jacket out of the seat and my eyes switched from the wall to her face.

With a small smile and a head nod from me she gave me a small weary smile back and left out of the room.

I looked up towards the t.v mounted on the wall of my room. "Aaliyah Butler." Just recently had I even been taught my name.

The staff was fearful of telling me who I was for some apparent reason. I had no recollection of my life before the coma, none what so ever.

A sigh passed my lips as my brain thumped against my skull. A slight knock came from the door and my nurse Frita came in. "Hey Aaliyah how are ya doing?"

I slumped my shoulders "Im doing okay."

Frita switched out my solution bags for my IV, as she did so I turned my head up to look at her. "Frita?"

Her attention went from the IV to down at me "Yes?"

"What happened to me?"

Frita had been my nurse all throughout my stay at the hospital, at least that's what I had been told. Every time I asked her the question she evaded it, found some way to turn my question into another question.

"Now Aaliyah you kno-"

I shook my head while grabbing her arm gently "Frita please tell me I want to know why I ended up here. What happened to me. The lady that you all say is my mom won't tell me, and none of the other staff will tell me, I jus- I just want to know." I hung my head low now.

She sighed and took a seat in the chair next to my bed "I don't know much Aaliyah. All I know is what I saw from the news."

My eye brows scrunched up "The News?"

She pursed her lips and nodded her head "Yes child the news. You had been in some type of accident, you had parked your car on the train tracks near the college UCLA. You just sat there and then when that train came you made no effort to move, it smashed into your car. Since it had seen you it slowed down as much as it could so when it made impact with your car it didn't kill you, but it did a lot of damage."

My face was now scrunched up "This couldn't be me Frita, why would I want to kill myself?"

Frita stood up "Now hunny I don't know all that. And dont go asking your mother this is almost like a new start for you. You had some issues apparently and God gave you another chance, he let you forget it's not such a curse everyone makes it out to be."
