The first thing I noticed as soon as I'm able to open my eyes is Plasma TV mounted on wall.

I don't have this in my room, but I wish to have it - Me.

This is not our room. - Brain.

Then, the second thing which hit me like a ton of bricks and made me acutely aware of my surroundings was the IVs attached to my right hand.

What the hell happened to me? - Me.

My throat is as dry as sandpaper, my eyes are burning, my head is aching, my body feels stiff; in short, I 'm in pain.

I tried sitting up but failed miserably. Gosh, my head swims like there's more water in the head than in the ocean.

What the hell happened to me?

I laid down again, closed my eyes and tried to rack my brain. I open my eyes and look around; the walls are pristine white; the curtains are drawn which show whoever brings me here knows light will affect my eyes. I turned left and saw numerous flowers; all fresh and blooming beside me. I look down and notice that I'm wearing a scrub. Hence, this means one thing: I'm at a hospital.

What happened that I ended up here? - Me.

I'm as groggy as you're, woman. - Brain.

And then like tons and tons of bricks falling on me, I remember:

I remember...

Tiffany & Co.

The insult.

The shopkeeper.

Me crying.

Dylan and his men.

Me trying to save the shopkeeper.

our successful exit and then... Crash...

His death...

I am so sorry...

He died and this was all my fault, all mine. A man lost this life due to me, because I couldn't control my tears, I can't accept the harsh reality of myself.

Several questions came rushing in my mind, their answers, and with answers came guilt, sorrow, pain which I couldn't keep at bay.

Was he married?

Did he have children?

Does anyone inform them about his tragic death?

Will they ever forgive me?

Please stop. - Me.

This was bound to happen. - Brain.

Please make it stop. I screamed internally and the only evidence of my pain were my tears hot and warm on my face indicating I'm alive and they aren't.
