Because of You

Chapter 12

I woke up the next morning feeling a lot worse than the day before when I had made up with my mom and gone on my first date. I layed in bed feeling crappy, but also very happy. I couldn't really decide which feeling was more prominent. I flopped my head to the side and did a double take when I realized that my clock said 12:03. I had slept past noon?!

I jumped out of bed and got suddenly very dizzy. I slapped my hand to my head and sat back down slowly. It was a good thing it was Sunday and I didn't have work. I got up again, cautiously this time and felt less dizzy than before. I sighed with relief and walked to my kitchen groggily. I got a bowl of Cheerios and ended up falling asleep in them.

Clearly I needed to go to the doctor. I knew something was wrong with me, but, like everything else, doctors terrified me. My phone buzzed and I glanced at it. It was Jayden.

Jay🙃:
Hey I'm getting coffee want to meet me at the cafe?

I groaned. Not today. Why?

Me:
I actually don't feel very good so I'm gonna have to pass. 🙁

Jay🙃:
Oh. You ok?

Ummmm...

Me:
Sort of?

Jay🙃:
Well I hope you feel better.

Me:
Thnx

I turned off my phone and sighed. I really should get to the doctor... I grabbed my keys and walked out to my car. I started driving, going over what I would say to the doctor in my head over and over again. I started to feel more and more dizzy as I kept driving. I put my hand on my head and blinked hard. It didn't help the dizziness and it also made my head start throbbing slightly.

I kept driving, squinting through the pain. I could make it to the doctor. Right? I drove another block or two and just felt worse. I should pull over, I thought. I closed my eyes and flipped my blinker on, slowing down. I opened my eyes again, but I felt the car before I saw it, crashing into mine. It was a perfect t-bone.

My whole body jolted to side as my door smashed in and my airbag deployed.  I felt it smack into my arm and I heard a snap. I needed to focus, I needed to stop the car. Blackness flickered across my vision and I felt around with my foot. I slammed on the break and looked out my window.

In my confusion, I hadn't realized how far I had slid off the road. I could barely see. I glimpsed something large and blurry to the side of me. How had that car even hit me? I had been in the lane closest to the curb when I had started pulling over.

I couldn't think straight. I briefly realized that my arm was twisted at a strange angle, but I couldn't remember why. I tried to move, to get up, but my left leg was trapped in a mass of mangled metal. I didn't know where I was anymore. I didn't know what was happening. I started to panic. I heard sirens somewhere in the back of my mind... and then shouting.

I strangely shaped blob wobbled over to me and then another. They started grabbing me. There was so much noise... so much... noise... my eyelids fell closed and my brain shut out the chaos. Everything was black. Somehow I knew something was wrong, but I didn't know what it was. And I didn't know if I would make it through.

Wow that was a major cliffhanger. What do you guys think is gonna happen to Wendy?! Sorry I haven't posted in FOREVER I didn't have wifi for a couple weeks and I just got around to writing this chapter. Also sorry about the scariness of this chapter but I felt the need for a twist. I hope you're enjoying the story!
