Clean Slate

Awoken ~1~

Dawn:

"Ms. Bills please call 508. Ms. Bills 508"

I slowly opened my eyes. My eyes adjusted to brightness of the room. Everything is so light. So bright.

I looked around the white room. I saw a few machines, with wires and cords all hooked up to me and the wall. The room felt empty.

By the door, a short brunette walked by with a clipboard in her hand.

"Um, excuse me miss?" I try to choke out. My throat feels so dry.  She didn't hear .e

I cleared my throat,

"Excuse me? Hello?" I say this time louder.

The brunette stops, waits for a moment then slowly turns over and looks at me.

"Miss Springston? You are up? How are you feeling?" She comes over and shines a light in my eye.

"I was actually wondering if I could get a glass of water?" I replied.

"Oh. Of course ma'am. I'll be right back with your water."

I waited in silence. Listening to my surroundings. People are every where. White coats and bright lights. Clipboards clutched in their hands.

Am I in a hospital?

Why would I be in a hospital?

"Here you so ma'am. Your water. " the girl handed me a blue plastic cup with cold water inside it.

"Thank You. I was wondering, where am I?"

"You are at Seattle Grace Hospital. About 8 years ago, you got into a crash with your parents. You've been in a coma for those 8 years."

She comes over to me and listens to my heart beep.

"What is the last thing you remember, sweetie?"

I thought for a moment. The last thing I remember is waking up in this white room. Like 15 minutes ago.

"I can remember when I woke up." I told her shyly

A sad smile came to her lips.

"Do you know your name?" She comes to sit beside me.

"Uh.. no. " I felt a feeling settle in my chest. Sadness.

"You are Dawn O Springston. Age 18.  You lost both your parents. No other family members available to take you in. It seems you have amnesia. How are you feeling? "

So many things to wrap my brain around. I was in a coma. I lost my family. I can't remember shit.

"Overwhelmed. Can't wrap my brain around the fact that I was in a coma." I reply looking out the small window near the bed.

"We are going to have social services come and help set up a bank account for you and help you find your way, but for now just rest." She lowers the clipboard to her waist and walks out.

I take a deep breathe. Most people would kill to have a blank slate and here I am wishing I just died in the crash.

But I do plan to do what she told me. Rest.

A Few Days Later

The days went by in a blur. A bunch of tests were done in me. Still don't remember anything but I'm physically fine. The doctors say I might not ever get my memory back and I should start to think about who I want to be.

A girl with short blonde hair and a small pencil skirt comes clicking her heels towards my room.

"Hello Dawn. It's Dawn correct?" Her voice was high pitched with a tone of an accent.

"Yes." I reply a little to fast.

"Hi, I am Katie. I am here to help you get an ID and help set up your bank account ect. "

I nodded my head and offered her a seat.

"Now I am going to give you some homework. I want you to look for a house to stay at. We are granting you $200 000 to start. That includes clothing and food plus housing."

A nurse near by nearly choked on her water.

"First things first, let's go get you a phone. Now I bought you one outfit on the house. I'll leave the bag here and be back in about 20 minutes. " she gave me a smile, put the plastic bag on the bed and walked out, closing the door behind her.

I quickly opened the bag to reveal a pile of neatly stacked clothing.

Taking out the first item, I look it over. It is a black bra and matching undies. Next I take out a black crop top and some high waisted light blue jeans. I finally take out some grey ankle socks and some white convers.

Time to get dressed!

A few moments later after I am throwing my hair into a messy bun, I put on my knitted beige sweater, I heard a knock at my door.

"It's Katie. I was wondering if you are ready to start looking for that new phone of yours?"
I could hear her muffled voice through the door.

I open the door and throw her a smile.

She returns my smile and starts to circle me,

"Girl you look beautiful!"

I gave a small laugh, "Why thank you!" And gave a small twirl.

"Now are you ready to go?" She asked.

"Yes I am so ready to leave this hell hole."
