E L S A

I woke up suddenly, gasping for air. It took me a couple minutes to get my breathing back to normal. I sat up with my hand on my chest, breathing heavily. I looked around and saw that I was sitting in the middle of some sort of hallway.

I looked around in confusion before I remembered what happened. My eyes widened in realization that I tried to kill myself.

Am I dead? Where am I? If I was dead, shouldn't I be in a coffin or something? I must not be dead if I'm in the middle of a hallway.

I got up from the cold, tiled ground and walked towards the end of the hall way. I turned the corner and saw a couple of nurses and people sitting with sad expressions in chairs against the wall.

I must be in a hospital. I walked up to one of the nurses sitting behind a desk.

"Excuse me? Why am I here?" I asked. But I did not receive an answer. The lady kept looking down at the papers she was reading. I spoke a couple more times, but she still ignored me. I got irritated so I went to poke her hand, but when I went to touch her, my fingers went through her hand.

I shot my hand back and gasped at the sensation. I couldn't feel her skin. It felt like I was dipping my hand in a bucket of water. I was so confused at that point.

Out of curiosity, I decided to look at the papers she was reading. I walked behind the desk and looked over her shoulder.

Patient #73
Elsa Arendell
Room 35J
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Cause of admittance: suicide attempt
Current status: coma

I furrowed my eyebrows as I read over the papers. I was in a coma? Why wasn't I dead? How did I end up in the hospital?

I decided to go to the room I was assigned to. As I walked through the empty halls of the hospital, I noticed my feet weren't making any noise as I stepped. I also took in my appearance. I wasn't wearing shoes and I was wearing a plain, white dress. It came down just above my knees and had no sleeves. The top came up to my neck and my hair was down, hanging dully over my shoulders.

I finally reached the room I was in. I took a deep breath before opening the door and walked in. I gasped at the sight in front of me. My body was laid in the hospital bed, tubes were attached all over my body. There was blood on the bandages around my arms. My hair has knotted and sprawled out around my head.

My heart broke as I looked at the broken boy who was sat next to my body. Jack was holding my hand and staring out the window. He had bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess. His eyes were puffy and red and he looked like he hadn't eaten in forever.

I walked over to him and laid my hand on his shoulder. I couldn't feel him under my touch. I wanted to hold him and tell him that everything was going to be okay. But I couldn't. And by the look on Jack's face, I could tell he was worried.

I walked out of the room and ran to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to calm myself down. I didn't know what was going on or how to get out of here. I closed my eyes and breathed slowly. I decided to splash water on my face, to see if I would wake up, or be back in my own body.

When I opened my eyes, I was in the bathroom back at Jack's house.

"Huh?" I looked around and then walked out into the hallway. It was eerily quiet in the house.

Out of nowhere, there was a pound bang against the wall and screaming. I heard footsteps running up the stairs and saw Jack and Kristof run into the guest room. I followed and saw that Anna was screaming and crying. She looked like a mess. I had never seen her look so hopeless and sad. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she was wearing an oversized sweatshirt and athletic shorts.

Jack and Kristof tried to calm her down but gave up and walked out. Anna laid down and faced the wall, hugging her pillow. I laid down beside her and ran my hand through her hair until her breathing became steady, signaling that she was asleep.

I got up and walked out of her room and went downstairs. Everyone was sat downstairs not talking to each other. No one looked at each other or moved. The only movement was their eyes blinking or their chests moving from breathing.

All my friends looked helpless. Did I cause them to feel this way? All of this was my fault. I was too selfish to consider the feelings of everyone else and I just left them.

Did they bring me to the hospital? The last thing I remember was lying in the park, feeling my life leave my body. I was completely alone, so how did I end up in a coma in the hospital? I shook my head and shut my eyes, wishing I could wake up from whatever nightmare I was in.

I suddenly felt cold and opened my eyes and saw I was standing by the park. I walked over towards the tall gras and found me sitting on the ground, writing in my journal. I had tears streaming down my face, blood everywhere, and chocolate ice cream melting all over the grass.

I watched the next events unfold. One minute I was lying there, the life leaving my body, then, the next, Jack was running over to me screaming. He had someone call an ambulance as he tried to stop the bleeding.

Once the ambulance got to the scene, Anna was crying while Kristof held her, Jack was staring into nothingness as I was placed into the back of the ambulance, and the rest of my friends were either crying or screaming.

I studied all of their reactions. They all looked broken and hurt. I suddenly felt guilty for causing such pain for my friends. They cared about me. All I had to do was speak up and get a little help.

I started crying, realizing what I had done. I sank to the ground and pulled at my hair as I sobbed.

"I don't want to die! I wish I had never done that! Please I have to wake up! I can't live like this knowing my friends are in pain! Please I need to wake up!"

I sat on the ground for what felt like forever before opening my eyes again. I looked around and saw that I was in my hospital room. I stood up and saw Jack studying my features.

"Hey Elsa. Nothing has really changed in the last two weeks. Anna still hasn't gone back to school. Neither have I. We both just sit and stare into nothingness. Look, you have to get better. You need to wake up. We all need you. If you don't respond or wake up, they will take you off life support. I don't know what I would do, what any of us would do if you were gone. I barely made it in time to save you, so now you need to save us. Please wake up Elsa. We need you. Please." Jack finished before sobbing.

I will wake up. I promise. I just have to figure out how.

And with that, everything slipped into darkness once again.
