The Pieces I lost..

Chapter 1

GASP.

I wake up, sweating. My eyes adjusting to the inky darkness all around me. The only sound I hear is my breathing going faster and faster. Where am I? I overcome with an unpleasant sensation coming out of my mouth as I reach for a nearby bucket. A pool of tears form in my eyes, descending down my cold cheeks as I scream for anyone. Suddenly a bright light turns on, blinding my eyes. A pair of hands push my body down, and I realise that I'm on a bed. Something is placed around my nose and mouth and I drift off to another sleep...

"WHERE AM I?!" I scream. Hands holding me down, onto the bed. My eyes adjust to the lighting and I see a teen and two adults. "Senaya, calm down, your gonna be okay" A  young female's voice tells me. "Where.. Am.. I?!" I breathe steadily. "Um, your in the hospital." I look around and realise the female is correct. "Well who are you?" She looks at me, eyes beginning to wide. I think I said the wrong thing. "You-you don't know who I am?" She chokes. "Um, no?" She breaks into a cry. "I'm sorry, I just.. I can't remember who you are" I let out. An older gruff voice with an accent speaks up. "Do u remember who we are?" The body of the voice and another person steps forward. My eyes adjust to the bodies and I see a man in his 40's and woman in her late 30's. I look down and frown. "No, no I don't". The woman gasps and starts to cry while the man comforts her. "I'm so-sorr-sorry. I don't get this. Who are you people and why cant I remember you !?!?!" I scream and yell. The teen stands up. "I, I need some air." I'm left in tears. Who are these people? Why can't I remember anything? An adult with a white suit comes into the room. "Ma'am, Sir, maybe its best if you to leave Senaya to think?" They nod and exit the room. "Excuse me, but WHY CAN't I REMEMBER ANYTHING!?" I cry. The adult sighs. "I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to the yet. All we know is that, you were in some sort of accident, the ambulance was called and you ended up here. Anyways, have some rest. And ring the bell beside if you need anything." I turn to the bell beside me and ring it. The adult sigh at me again. "What do you need?" "Answers" "Get some rest". He leaves and shuts the door. I lay in my bed, thinking about what just happened. Think Senaya, think. Can you remember anything? I close my eyes and think hard.

30 seconds.

Nothing.

1 minute.

Nothing.

5 minutes.

Nothing.

10 minutes.

Still nothing.

Ugh, I give up. I turn onto my side and try and get some sleep. It doesn't work, and I'm up most of the night wondering what on Earth I am doing here. I don't understand why I can't remember anything or anyone for that matter. I really upset those people, I guess they were a big deal in my life some how. The door of my hospital room opens and an old lady in what looks like a nurses outfit comes in. "Hey sweetie, I am Michelle. Whenever you ring the bell, I answer to it. And if you need anything else, maybe even someone to talk to. I am right here." She gives me a heart warming smile. I look at her, tears forming in my eyes and stream down my face. "Oh honey, this must be hard for you. You wake up suddenly in a bed and not remembering anyone at all. Well, I am sure things will get better for you soon." She smiles at me sadly. "Thanks" I croak out. She hands me a bottle of water, which I finish and didn't know that there was thirst in the first place. "I will be back with some food for you, stay strong pumpkin." Michelle walks out of the room and leaves me to think.

"How's that, eh?" I'm sitting on my bed, cross-legged and eating ice cream. "Delicious!" I exclaim. I savour each mouthful of strawberry sweetness, wishing I could eat this all day. "How are you feeling, dear?" She questions me. I sigh. "Well, this ice cream is helping but I still want to know why I can't remember anything. I want to know so badly, I had a life Michelle, a life! And I want to know about it so badly." I frown, looking at my melting ice cream. "Well dear, bit by bit you will get to find out about yourself. It's still early days, but soon you will understand who you were and what happened. For now, focus on rest and give it some time." Michelle advice's me. "Thanks Michelle. By the way, who were those people when I woke up? I seem to hurt them somehow.." Michelle looks down. "The two adults? They are your parents. And the girl is your best friend." I drop my spoon and turn towards her. "Your joking?" She shakes her head. "Not at all, mind you, the girl who is your best friend, came here everyday to see if you would wake up. I believe her name is Emma?" I sigh and continue eating. "I guess that's why they were all so sad and upset, I couldn't even remember my best friend and my parents!" I outside and see a city surrounding the hospital. "May I recommend you talking to Emma? Maybe she can help you understand yourself better?" Asks Michelle while giving me another scoop of ice cream. "Your right. Is she here now?" I ask. Michelle smiles and nods her head. "I'll go and get her". She stands and exits the room and brings back a tall Asian girl with red, splotchy eyes.

"Hi."

"Hi..
