One Life Down

As I walk home from school, I see an odd looking car following me. I try to weave through backways and through tight streets, but the car still follows me. I know what my mother said. She said to never, ever, talk or go with people like this. The people who haunt you down. I walk on the side of the rode past a construction sight. Suddenly the car the was following me, honks it's horn and startles me. I see this next part in slow motion. I slip and fall into the construction sight, just as they were putting in a layer of concrete. 

"Help! Someone help!" I try to scream, but the concrete covers me entirely. No! This can't be the end! But it is, isn't it? I know I can't survive under a layer of concrete, I will suffocate! Then some of concrete pours into my mouth.  This is the end! The end of it all! I had so much more to live for. I was going to become the scientist and rome outer space! I was going to get into Harvard and become best in my class! I had so much to live for! I started to choke on the concrete, losing my breath quickly. Then I died. I couldn't survive it. 

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep

I awake in a weird looking hosptial with weird looking people around me. My hospital bed has remotes and buttons all over it. My breathing monitor was floating in mid-air. What was going on? I died! I suffocated! Then the people saw my eyes where awake, they weren't doctors, but normal people I have never seen before. There was little girl about seven, sitting on her mother's lap and her husband sitting next to her. The people looked so happy I was alive, the little girl pushed a button in her hand and ran over to me.

"Elizie you're awake! You're awake!" she giggles and crawls up next to me. Then a sluggish looking guy comes running into the room. He looks at me and smiles a wide grin. What the heck? Where am I? Who are these people? How did I survive? Then the guy comes running towards me and wraps me into a hug. 

"Elizie! My sweetheart you're awake!" he shouts with pride. I pull away from him in disbelief. Everyone looks so confused now. It was a simple act, pushing him away from me, but it startled everyone. 

"I don't know you people! My name is not Elizie, it's Virgina! I am supposed to be dead! I got suffocated with contreate!" I yell. The little girl runs to her mother and climbs into her mother's arms and cries. The mother looks at me sadly, so does the guy, and the husband. 

"Mommy! Why doesn't she remember us?" The little girl stiffles through her tears.

"It's true what they said," The mother says and looked at the husband and then at the guy, " She does have memory loss". She looks like she's about to cry and the guy looks at me in disbelief. 

"I can't believe you can't remember me, we got married yesterday and I thought you were mine but now...." the guy said. I am married to this guy? WHAT?  I AM ONLY EIGHTEEN!!!! All I remember is suffocating in contreate, not getting married. What was going on with my head? Who are these people? Who am I?
