She saw her parents looking down on her. Doctors and nurses running around busily. In a large room full of people in cots and hospital gowns.
She must've had a very confused look in her eyes, because her parents were quick to explain that she was in a hospital. She had just woken up from a coma after she fell from her skateboard down a steep hill, hit her head against the pavement, and gone unconscious.
Some key information was out of the way now, but she couldn't help looking around the big room. She saw a lot of patients and their families, but exiting through the door, she saw the back of a familiar-looking woman.
She must've been looking at the woman intensely, because her parents noticed and called for the woman. It was his mom. She couldn't speak properly, so she ordered a pen and paper and started writing:
Where's your son?
The woman gave her a nasty look, and broke down crying. After seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, the woman began explaining:
My son passed away last night.
He was in the cot next to yours. He was in fatal condition since he got hit by a car about five days ago. But as far as i know, you two never met in person. How come you ask about him, like if you knew him?
She began writing again:
I met him while I was in the coma. It was like a dream, and i fell in love with him.
