Bodies Changed

Shocked

I inhale as I open my eyes then exhale. I was confused and in pain. What happened? I looked around and I didn't recognize my surroundings. Well it looked like I was in a hospital. I look to my left and I see Lacy there. I smile. She looks up and gasps. "Emma, you're awake!" She says and hugs me. I groan when she wraps her arms around me.

I smile and nod. "Yeah I guess I am." She's starts to cry non stop. I laid back down on the bed and kept looking around the room. For some reason I felt like something was missing, well not something but someone. I sigh. "So Lacy, what exactly happened?" She gasps. "You don't remember?" "No." She nods.

"You were in a horrible car accident." My eyes shot open. "Yes it was a 15 car pile up." I gasp. "Yeah but you helped a lot of people out of their burning cars." I smile. "You even saved the son of the most wealthiest man in the city." I gasp. "Really?" She nods.

"Although the car he was in exploded and well it exploded after you got him out but you guys got caught in the explosion but of course survived." I gasp. I sat there in complete shock. "And everyone else? Are they ok?" She nods. "Yes they're fine." I smile. "Good." She nods and sighs.

That's when it hit me, what about my school? How long have I been asleep? "Hey Lacy, how long have I been asleep?" She sighs. "Almost 8 months." I gasp. "I was supposed to graduate, what the heck?" She nods. "Your undergrad studies got put on hold, you just need one more quarter and you'll get your degree." I smile and sighed in relief. She shook her head. "My best friend always worried about school." I grin.

That's when I try to get up and I couldn't. My arms hurt and so did my legs. "You're left leg is still healing, your right leg is all healed, your arms are good and your shoulder is all healed up but you will need serious rehabilitation and exercise." I nod. The doctor walks in and smiles. "Happy to see that you are awake miss Swan." He says as he puts some gloves on. I smile and nod. "I'm blessed to be alive doctor." He smiles.

"Ok I'm just going to do a routine check to make sure everything's in order." I nod. He checks my eyes and all that. He asks me a bunch of questions but I don't recall anything after studying that night for my finals. He smiles. "I can't believe that you were unresponsive but it seems that everything neurologically is normal." I smile.

He then asks me to move my hands and my arms and it was painful but I was able to move them. He asked me to get up and stand on my legs. It was hard but I could lean on my right leg more than my left so that means I could use crutches to walk around the hospital. "Better than I expected." He says with a smile. I smiled

That's when I remembered that Lacy said that I had saved a man from a burning car but we both got caught in the explosion. "Doctor what happened to that man I helped out of the burning car but got caught in the explosion?" He hands me a pair of crutches and asks Lacy to help me. "Come with me." He says. I walk over to the room and there's a man laying on the bed with a breathing tube in his mouth. I gasp at the sight of that.

I walk up to him and I kept staring at him, it was like I knew him but then I didn't. It was probably because of the whole thing that I saved him. "Well he's been unresponsive since the accident, he's alive and is healed but there's something that's keeping him asleep." He says. I nod and continued to scan his face. I could totally tell he was a handsome man.

"Do you remember anything about him Emma?" I look up and shook my head. "I've never seen him before, I mean before the accident and well I don't really recall the accident, I just remember smoke and someone hugging me before the explosion." They nod. "What's his name?" I ask. The doctor smiles. "Killian Jones." I smiled.

Killian? Why did that name sound awfully familiar. I grab his hand and his heart rate sky rockets which makes the monitor go crazy. "I didn't do anything." I said as I let go of his hand. The doctor gasps. "No this is good, this means he's alive, he hears, he feels, this is the first response we've had from him since the accident." I gasp. I grabbed his hand again and the monitor goes off.

I smiled. I wonder why that happened? That's when I start to feel winded. "I think it's time I go back to my room." They all nod. I walked back and laid back on the bed. I couldn't help but think of Killian. For some weird reason I felt a weird connection when I held his hand and the way he responded must be because he felt it too. It was so frustrating that didn't recall anything about him or the accident.
