*BOOM*
Everything went blank. I could feel warmth spread through my stomach and down my arms. It was peaceful, nice even, it reminded me of home. But why? My home is always cold, filled with arguments and hate. So why? Before I could think anymore an agonizing pain spread throughout my torso. I wanted to scream to cry to move but I couldn't. All I could do was feel and even that was slowly fading. The last thing I remember is a distant sound. Was that someone screaming. What were they saying? What happened?
Ugh I hate headaches and school and that's where I had to go. Great! I went to open my eyes but I couldn't. I also couldn't move. What's happening? Then it all came rushing back to me the my music, the warmth, the pain, then nothing. Where are my parents? Where am I? I heard a faint beeping sound it seemed steady but it started getting faster. I just want to see what's happening. Why can't I?
I heard what sounded like a door opening and then footsteps. The beeping was going faster now. Please, please just help me.
"Vita, I'm gonna need you to try and calm down," The voice was smooth and deep "Good, now try and open your eyes slowly I'll wait." The voice cut off and I quickly realized that the beeping went back to a steady pace.
I slowly but surely was able to peel my eyes open although they felt like they were glued together. I looked around to see that I was in a clean sterile room. I must be in a hospital.
"Hi Vita, I'm glad you're awake. I'm Dr. Smith, do you remember what happened?"
I went back to my earlier thoughts and tried to gather all the loose threads floating around in my mind back together.
"I was in a car crash," My voice sounded raspy and unfamiliar "My parents were there. Where are my parents? Are they okay?!"
Sadness and pity fills his eyes. The words that are next spoken hit me like a brick in the heart. Smashing and smashing the soft organ till it's just a pile of bloody mush.
"I regret to have to inform you that they perished. Your mom died on impact and your dad on the way to the hospital."
I could feel the tears flowing down my cheeks but it was a distant feeling. I stared blankly ahead. Sure I had fights with them but they were my parents, I didn't want this!
"I also regret to tell you that we can't find anyone to take you in. They all said that they didn't want you. Since you are healed now in a couple days we have to send you to an orphanage."
None of it effected me. How could it? My heart was bloody mush now. My family is dead, I'm an orphan. But I couldn't feel the hurt anymore, the tears had dried up. I didn't care.
I didn't care that my family was dead.
I didn't care that I had nothing left.
I didn't care that nobody wanted me.
I didn't care that I was an orphan.
I wouldn't care if I was dying.
I was already dead inside.
I didn't.....
I wouldn't.....
I couldn't.....
I don't.....
But I should.....
Care.
