Emergence

Chapter 15

I feel my head start to pound as I grab it tightly, opening my eyes. I gasp, staring at a window and notice that I'm not in my room. I reach for the window and stop, dropping my hand as I stare at an IV. I start to cough violently as feel something tug from my nose, I shakily feel something shoved up my nose as I tug on it.

" Oh heavens no!" Someone says in a firm voice. I stop, turning and looking at a women in scrubs. Her long black hair is shoved up in a heavy bun as she adjusts her glasses.

" I'm so sorry dear, don't touch that. I have some cards for you that need to be put in order." The women says grabbing a clipboard from the wall. I stare at her as she pulls a pencil from her ear. " First, what is your name?" She questions.

" Freya." I reply rubbing my eyes. She smiles, setting down five cards and pointing at them.

" These cards tell a story, can you put them in order for me?" She asks. I shake my head and grab the pictures and stare at them.

I set the pictures if order of a kid breaking his kite, telling his dad, going to the store, and getting a new one. She smiles brightly writing on her clipboard.

" Wonderful job, honey do you know what has happened to you?" She questions. I shake my head as she smiles. " Start from what caused him to hurt you." She adds.

" Vince hit my boyfriend in the head with a bat and knocked him out so I started a fight when him and smacked him across the face. He threw me down on the concrete floor and grabbed my face, smacking it as hard as he could multiple times against the floor, I passed out." I explain. The nurse drops her pen and stares at me.

" Vince? Vince, was smacking your head against the concrete?" She questions. I shake my head as she grabs it scribbling it down fastly and grabbing the phone, dialing a number quickly. I stare at her as I grip the blanket tightly.

" Is everything okay?" I question as she shakes her head.

" No, it- Hello! Yes, she's awake but she just told me that Vince did this to her- yes I already checked- Yes! She explained to me that Vince hit her boyfriend with a bat and she started to fight him so he smacked her against the floor." She explains.

I shake my head as she starts twirling the phone wire around her finger. " Yes I know that, please just go get him. I want to get her checked, he's been visiting her off and on, okay, okay thank you." She hangs up the phone as I stare at her.

" What happened? Where's Edmund, please tell me he's okay! Vince made him pass out, is he in here too?" I question. She frowns and shakes her head.

" Honey, you've been in a coma for two months. We thought Edmund did it, that's what Vince told us, so Edmund's been in jail. We're getting him out for you, and he'll meet you here." She whispers sitting on my bed. " Edmund will be here very soon." She adds.

" He lied! I promise Vince is the one who hurt me! I can't believe this, how did he explain making Edmund pass out!?" I shout. My heart starts to beat fast as I grab my chest. " Please tell me Edmund's okay!" I shout. She shakes her head.

" Now calm down, you can easily put yourself back into a coma." She says sticking a syringe into the base of my IV. I stare at her as my heartbeat slows down as I fall back onto the bed, my eyes start to flicker as I look at her.

" What did you do to me?" I question. She smiles as I grab onto the sheets.

" Morphine, just a tiny shot of it into your IV. It's to calm you down, if you get any more panic you could slip right back into it." She explains. I stare at her and she smiles. " Oh! I've been meaning to ask you, who dyed your hair? It's gorgeous." She says smiling. I grab my hair and stare at it.
