Sweet Dreams

The Hospital

Alyssa

Pain. That's all I feel. Is it gonna be like this forever.. And I'm not talking about pain from the car accident. I'm fine as far as that goes. I just feel empty.. I can't think about it to much because then I'll start crying and when I start that, I don't think I'll be able to stop.

I look around and outside of the window I see my mom and dad talking to Dr. Harmon. I make eye contact with my dad and he rushes inside the room and hugs me tightly. "I'm so happy you're okay!" Dad said with tears in his eyes. My mom looked like she was in worst shape than me. "Mom, Its okay you don't have to cry. Look I'm okay. I'm honestly not sure how but I am." I say getting up and smiling to reassure her. And then it hit me, dizziness and more pain coming from my leg. I sit back down on the bed. Wow that was a bad move on my part. I held down my tears, it's so hard, my eyes are burning. I'm not really sure how long I'm gonna be able to stand this.

Dr. Harmon comes in the room with a smile on his face as he places his glasses on. "Well it looks like you should be able to go by tomorrow. We just need to get a cast on that leg because it's broken. How are you feeling?" Dr. Harmon asked stepping closer picking up a small brown clip board. "Well, just now I felt really dizzy getting up and I'm really sore all over. This leg" I say pointing down to my right leg. "hurts really bad. That's about it." I finished. "You're really lucky Miss Stiles, with that kind of accident and only having a broken leg, are you sure everything else is feeling okay?" Dr. Harmon asks.

I look over and mom and dad are sitting in the little sofa listening to the conversation. Mom is looking at me waiting for me to reply. "Yes, everything seems fine but that," I say to Dr. Harmon. "Alright then, if I can just have you two go on home and then come back in the morning she should be ready to go." He says turning around looking at mom and dad. "Alright, thank you so much Stephan," my father replies to Dr. Harmon with a polite smile on his face. They have been good friends since they were kids. They met through their grandparents who were also good friends. So they go way back. "Okay, well I'll call you two later on to give you the latest news," he told them as they headed out.

My mom raced back in a kissed me on the forehead when they both were out. "Are you okay hun?" Mom asked, I think she can tell how depressed I am. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I gave her a smile as I replied her question. "Alright then, we will be here first thing in the morning. I want you to get some rest. You have been through a lot today. Bye, I love you sweetheart," Mom said gripping my hand tight then letting go heading out the door. "I love you too, momma," She turned around with a big smile and then walked out.

I heard Dr. Harmon talking to that guy I see in my dreams, he looked back at me. He kind of looked relieved. I have to know who this is. "Dr. Harmon, may I speak to you for a minute?" I said trying to get his attention when he got done talking to the guy, he looked up at me when I said this.

Dr. Harmon looks at him saying, "Just give me a second, you should be getting home. It's getting late. Look she is up and fine." They are standing in the doorway now, I want to know who he is now.

"Wait, who are you?" I asked him. "My name is Dan. Its great to finally meet you." He said smiling at me. His voice is so perfect, just how I remember it. This is so creepy. He's actually real. I've been dreaming of him for months.

"He is the one that found you, he kept you safe until the ambulance came. They took him to make sure he was fine, but he said he wasn't leaving that chair till you were awake. So I was just showing him out" Dr. Harmon continued with a smile on his face so big you'd think his face would get stuck like that.

Dan walks over with a small paper in his hand, it's his number. He placed his hand on my hurt leg. I want to tell him to move it but I couldn't speak, and my leg felt better suddenly. This is weird. "Here I'd like to have a friend around here. My family just moved here not to long ago. So if you would like to hang out sometime when you're feeling better just call me on my cell," he says taking his hand off of me. "Okay... will do," I say looking at him, what just happened..

Dr. Harmon showed him his way out and came back and asked, "Now, what is it you need to talk about, Miss Stiles?" I wanted to go home, but I knew that couldn't happen until tomorrow. "Nothing, I just want to go to sleep. Can we just go get that cast on my leg?" I just want to be done with this day already. "It's no problem, just follow me this way," he says polity helping me in the wheel chair. "Dr. Harmon... My leg doesn't hurt anymore." I tell him a little freaked out. "Can you walk on it?" He replies to me putting his glasses back on. I get up and I walk around perfectly. My head doesn't even hurt anymore. "Alright well let's go do a test on iti,"he says leading the way. We get in a room full of electronical things. He tells me to lay on down and be very still and is suddenly freaked when he sees my leg is no longer broken. I don't think he knows what exactly to say.. "It's like your leg was never broken. I guess god is truly with you tonight...." He leads me back to my hospital room and says "it's getting late so go to sleep. There are nurses here if you need them. This has been one strange night for all of us."

As I lay there, I start to think, about it all. Jesse. I just don't understand what I did wrong... I start crying, I feel like I will never be able to stop. It's like he never even cared for me... How could he. He never loved me. What am I gonna do now.. Move on? This is gonna be fun.
