I gasped, I woke up in a different place. I was laying on a bed, not metallic this time. Someone twisted the door knob trying to open it, I stared at it waiting. The door opened slowly, a woman in all white clothing walked in but she didn't notice me. "Who are you?" I said in a suspicious tone. Could I possibly be in another universe?
She got startled, "You're awake? I'll go tell the doctors then" she said with this joyful high pitched voice. "Oh wait, where am I?" I asked, "National Greens Hospital dear" she replied.
"Where's Parker? What's going on?" I asked. Thousands questions popped in my head, I wanted them all to be answered.
"...You and another boy, Parker, were brought here 4 years ago after this horrifying car crash. You've been sleeping beauty for 4 years, I never-" she said and got interrupted by me as my curiosity and anxiety started flaming up inside of me, "Where's Parker? All these years... I was in a coma?" I asked.
There's no Lucas, no Allison, no Sam. It's all fake, just a coma dream. "Oh yes, Parker's room is down the hall. He woke up two hours before you did" she replied. I pushed her out of the way and ran towards his room. "You can't go, come back" I heard her say.
I checked the names of every room down the hall, Parker was in room 8. I barged into his room, and there he was. He was laying on his bed in hospital clothing, I stared at him as tears started flowing into my eyes.
I felt loads of joy rushing through my veins, my happiness couldn't be expressed with thousand words. He looked back at me in shock too, "Olivia?.." he said, "Parker!" I said running towards him. I hugged him and started crying, "I had this crazy dream!" I said.
He sat up straight slowly, he was in pain. "Parker are you okay?" I said as my smile faded away. It then popped into my head, Parker got shot, but if it was a dream he shouldn't be in pain.
I raised his loose shirt, there was the wound. It still there, on his back. "What's this?" I asked, "It's probably because of the crash" he answered. I can't believe that's a dream, everything was crystal clear, vivid. Dreams aren't like that!
I noticed Parker staring at my neck, looking at something as he slightly tilted his head. "What is it?" I asked, "Is that necklace your mom's?" He asked smiling. I slowly looked down as doubts started flowing. It was my "OL" gold necklace beautifully hanging from my neck, reflecting the room light.
I never bought such necklace, O was Olivia and L was Lucas. Lucas' birthday gift for me. "Oh gosh!" I said as I starting freaking out, "What is it?" Parker asked calmly, "Parker, it's not a dream... Parker we need to go back! We need to go back for Lucas!" I said. "Who's Lucas?" He asked, I stared at him in complete shock.
A nurse walked in then, "Oh, here you are! You need to go back to your rooms because you both need to rest" she said. She grabbed my arm, but I was staring at Parker. Parker gave me his weird look and smiled, but I just stared.
"Lucas, Allison, xeopra... You forgot it all? Parker it's not time for jokes! Lucas is in danger" I said as I started getting mad, "Who the hell is Lucas?" He said angrily. The nurse kept grabbing me and pulling me towards the door. "Let go!" I shouted as I ran towards the door.
"Lucas!" I shouted as I ran through the halls, "Lucas!" I shouted again. Doctors grabbed me and tried to get me back to my senses. I had no idea what to do, no idea whether this was real or fake. "Let me go" I said angrily with my teeth shut as I tried to break myself free from their hard grip.
I felt weak, the strong smart Olivia is dying inside of me, drowning in waters of lies and confusion. Held captive by all the unanswered questions, enslaved by all the regrets and hopes.
They forced me to lay down on the cold floor, two doctors kept me from moving as the third injected me with a clear solution. "This will keep you calm dear" she said in a low voice as she slowly pulled back my hair.
