Ridge Ohio Hospital

C h a p t e r 1- Mr. Wheelchair

CHAPTER 1 ~ Mr. Wheelchair

So as you know I'm Charlie, I'm 15 and I've been in a coma, but you don't know from where I am or where I am currently. Let's just begin from the start.

I am Charlie, I am currently in a coma and talking to you. Yes, I am talking to you from the coma, I am ten, and I am currently in ROH its Ridge Ohio Hospital.

I've been here for the past two months and life just sucks. The reason why I am in a coma is because I haven't woken up from the surgery I had two months back. Before you ask any questions I will tell you why I'm here.

I remember it was a Friday night and my parents and I had gone to a party in a Friday night and my parents and I had gone to a party in a family friend's house. While I was there I had like tons of sugary stuff like I ate like three tubs of ice cream, having chocolate etc.

It was past my bedtime and dad was getting worried that I would get sick and mom didn't want to leave so she thought that she would get dropped home by Greta one of her friends. She also said to dad that we could go home so obviously dad took us into the car and were are on the way home.

During the car ride, my tummy didn't feel good I told that to dad and he said that "This is what happens when you eat a lot of sugar anyway, Charlie take deep breaths and calm down." During that process I threw up and started to feel dizzy so dad told me to open up the seat belt and lie down.

When I couldn't do that, I told dad and he tried to open it for me while driving, but what he didn't see was the truck that was coming towards us and boom it hit us and that's when it went all black.

After I woke up I saw dad and mom crying the doctors were carrying me in a hurry towards the operation theater. I saw mom blaming dad for the reason for my condition, but I knew it was not true and it wasn't his fault.

Anyways, before entering for the surgery, I was getting nervous and scared as to what will happen in the future, but there was Ruth. She was the nurse had comforted me and said that everything would be alright.

She said that, "It is just a surgery to help you, after the surgery you will wake up and everyone in this room is going to take care of you. You just have to sleep for a while and in the morning, you will wake up fully cured...." I couldn't understand everything she was saying because at that moment I was feeling very nauseous, dizzy and pain in my whole body.

Then everything went black again.

Till now I haven't woken up from that surgery and I just went straight into a coma. Anyhow, back to the real world. People tend to think that being coma means that you lose all your consciousness, but NO a big no I can hear everything they say I can smell, but not speak, see or react, that's the cons of being in a coma.

Let's go to Sandra 'Sandy' Mathews, the head cheerleader, who is the head of the food chain in high school. She is just like any cliché cheerleader with blonde hair a bitchy attitude and the list goes on. During practice she would be the biggest bitch in the whole world, she needs her minion, Jessica, to get her cigarette and bottle of water that would sometimes smell like pee.

This was a few hours before she was admitted in Ridge Ohio.

She was practising with her squad like any other day but something unusual happened. She wasn't feeling good she puked and then just collapsed on the floor.

Some were too shocked to react and some were just taking pictures and videos of her. When Jessica snapped out of shock and she called 911. Violá, she was brought to Ridge Ohio.

Sandra was immediately taken for treatment. Apparently, she had got a heart attack. Later that day she was brought to my room and since then, she has officially become my roommate. The saddest, yet one of the best things that has happened to me.

It was five in the evening when Sandra had regained conscious; Ruth was there checking up on her. Sandy was too shocked to react to what Ruth was doing and just ignored her.

Sandy just looked around while Ruth was checking her vitals. She saw me and asked Ruth who I was. Ruth just looked at me and said, "He's just a boy recovering from surgery."

Within ten minutes, Ruth had left our room.

It was around eight when Sandy walked out of the room to explore. Near the elevator, her parents were discussing with the doctor about her condition, Sandy's heart had a hole in her heart and due to the intake of all the drugs that she had been taking, her condition had worsened.

She didn't know what to do as this was a lot of information to take in so she drowned all her problems into her cigarette and then went to bed.

Now comes Jax the guy who was the star football player at Clear Lake Academy. Now Americans for you its soccer gees don't grow a second head and definitely don't sigh. Okay, back to the story so Jax was diagnosed with cancer when he was in his senior year, so practically till his junior year he was known as the star of the football season.

Instead of going into detail lets fast forward, he was brought into Ridge Ohio on 29 January 2013. This sounds like a history lesson *sigh* anyway the cancer had started to spread into his left leg so he had started chemo immediately and in the process, he had to get his leg amputated.

So, you can predict what happened, he had to shave off his hair, get his leg amputated and get tons of medicines pumped into the body to stop the cancer from spreading.

Jax was a pretty interesting person you might be guessing how I know this let me tell you. While Jax was undergoing the surgery, I met him 'through his subconscious mind'.

I remember his first words were, "Am I dead"? And I'm here just thinking, whenever I meet someone like this why do they first ask this question.

I introduced myself as Charlie and I told him to calm down. We together went on a rollercoaster ride. We talked about our conditions, family, friends, football and then played a hell lot of games. We ended up playing poker, charades, chess and twenty questions and damn it was fun.

When he started regaining his consciousness, he felt my face getting blurry each second. I told Jax," You are now gonna way up and heal. Be strong and live your life to the fullest.

After the surgery, Jax had made Mr. wheelchair his best friend and had taken my advice.

Now there is Jax's crush, Faith. She's anorexic. Jax met her in his Chemistry class and yeah we do have school in ROH, how do you think we are gonna compete with Trump without education. Any who where was I oh yeah Jax met Faith in his Chemistry class.

When Faith first entered the class Jax was Miss. Brown was was there chemistry teacher had paired them as lab partners for the rest of their senior year. As days passed by Jax and Faith became close friends and that's how he started to gain feelings for her.

Faith started showing signs of being Anorexic when she was 15. Trust me, it wasn't that good. She started to skip lunch in her school hardly ate food and constantly was conscious about her body.

Her condition worsened when she was 17. She almost died. For her to recover Faith's parents thought I would be best to get professional help. So they dropped her at ROH.

It has been 3 months now and she is slowly gaining weight and her therapy sessions are going great but I only know that all that is fake. Whenever she had to get, her weight checked she would just drink a lot of water, hide the objects around her body to increase her body weight etc.

She thinks that saying the right words to her doctor well help them think that she is doing great and her condition is improving but in reality...
