I wake up to a empty hospital room. I'm hooked up to an IV, oxygen and some other things. I look around. A nurse comes in and I look at her. "You're awake!" She says happily. I look at her name tag and it reads "Jennifer Brackles". "I better call your parents and tell them" Jennifer says. I lay my head back and look at the ceiling. I yawn. I'm so tired... I can't even hold my eyes open but I manage.
An hour passes when Ivan, Mom, and Dad rushes in with flowers and balloons. Mom's in tears and Dad smiles at me. I hear Ivan's voice in my head "Are you alright?" I look at him and smile, nodding. Mom hugs me and kisses my forehead. I look at Dad and he holds out the balloons and flowers, "We got you these. Ivan picked the flowers out." I look at the flowers and they are white lillies mixed in with Daisies. My two favorite. "They're beautiful" I say quietly. My mom grabs the flowers and set them on the end table to my right. She puts the balloons next to them.
"What happened?" I manage to ask. "You were in a car wreck. Luckily, Ivan got there in time. Glass made a deep gash in your neck. You lost a lot of blood..." Mom frowns. "How long was I out?" I ask. "Three days" Ivan says. I look at him and I can see the hurt in his eyes. I frown and look out the window. I touch the bandage on my neck. I don't remember anything. I can't even remember where I was at or when it happened, how it happened... Nothing. I frown and I feel my Mom's hand lay over my other hand on the bed "I know it's hard but you're okay. You made it through..." She smiles softly. The words warm my heart and I look at her. We sat there talking about Dad's new job he got yesterday and how everyone is worrying about me.
Mom looks at her wrist watch I gave her for mothers day a couple years ago and says "Gosh... We have to go, Dear. Your father and I have work." She kisses me bye and Dad comes over and kisses my forehead "Bye, sweet heart." I smile as they leave. It's just Ivan and I know. I look at him and I can still see the worry in his eyes. But if I really look past that hurt and worry, I can see that he is infuriated. "Ivan.... What really happened?" I ask. He sighs and says, "You were in a car wreck. We told you that..." I look out the window and he brings a chair up to the bed. I don't look his way.
"Everything is going to be okay. I promise" He says. He grabs my hand and rubs his thumb over the top of them. I look at him and lay back. He reaches over and brushes my hair back. He then plays with my hair. I begin to fall asleep holding his hand. I don't want to let go. I was in a car crash... Something doesn't seem right...
I'm sitting behind the school and I see a hooded figure. I don't know what is happening but I try to get away. "Naomi... Naomi.. Wake up.." I hear a male voice say. I open my eyes and I see Ivan over me. I pant and Ivan says "You had a bad dream. You started to call my name." I look around and I push back my hair "I... I saw a man.. I think it was a man, He was wearing a hoodie." Ivan lets go of me and sits down. He yawns and I look at him "Hey.. get some sleep.. I'll be fine." He looks back at me and says "You sure?" I nod "Yes, you need some rest." "Alright" He kisses me and he lays back in his chair closing his eyes.
