*you telling me you dont remember anything?...

*********
I run like a mad person screaming and crying as a huge black Mamba keeps chasing after me trying to bite my shoulder, My hearts beating rate increases. A huge White Lion dives over me making me fall and I laugh till my stomach is becoming painful, the Lion roars and I laugh again totally amused by it. The venomous black Mamba moves back quickly in fear and its hissing sounds more like many people talking.
"Oh thank God, you are awake honey." Mom breaths in relief and I smile seeing her no longer stressed face move closer to me and kissing my forehead. She moves away and a flash of light sparks making me squint my eyes. The white walls around me cause an uncomfortable feeling to rush up and down my back.
"Mom where am I?" I mumble looking around and raising my head, it becomes a little painful when I lift it so I softly lay it back on the cold but soft pillow. The white ventilators, the silver and cold chair, the Drip, the Drip?. Wait a minute I am in hospital
"You are in hospital, you telling me you don't remember when you fell on the floor and panted out in pain?" She says fiddling with her hands, she tends to do that when she is nervous. She answers my question after I have answered it myself. The memories begin coming back, oh yes, my head forcefully betrayed my body after she told me I'm heading to a boarding school.
"I remember mom,"I mumble looking the other way avoiding her face. I'm new to this city, new to this country, new to this accent, new to these people. Won't the children from this boarding school treat me differently?. The voice if a male Doctor disturbs me from my thoughts.
" Oh lovely to see you awake this morning Elizabeth. "He says smiling and ticking out of a white clipboard. He keeps checking my pulse and my eyes pop as I see a thin cylinder object in my wrist, a pinch shoots whenever I move my hand.
" How long have I been here, and why do I have a painful drip on my wrist?"I question and the Doctor looks up from the clipboard.
"So far its been 56 hours, the drip is hurting you?" He asks with concern, of course it is .
"A bit, how did I end up here?" I ask and he gives me a strange look
"You telling me you don't remember anything?" He questions me whilst I'm expecting an answer, my mom gives me fearful eyes.
"Apart from falling on the floor in pain and being carried no I don't" I mumble fiddling with my hands but I can't even fiddle with my hands because the stupid thing in my wrist is shooting a cold pain inside me.
"Oh you might have been unconscious for about 34 hours, you didn't suffer any minor concussions, or brainloss, its just migraine headache, over all you are good to go."He says with a deep american accent giving me a smile and patting my head.
"Can they take this thing out mom, its really uncomfortable."I say scrunching my eyebrows together in frustration. 56 hours which means I haven't been to the house, haven't slept in my bed, haven't touched my phone for 2 days and 8 hours?. I was planning on telling my friends that im not coming back.
" A nurse will take it out, she is coming now."She says as she takes out my clothes which she had put in my duffel bag.

"McDonalds?" Mom asks giving me a lousy smile. Right now we were on our way home from the hospital, she knew this city like she new her own cooking show. Actually she didn't know the city much, it was her GPS controlling system assisting her to reach her destination.
"Yep McDonald's, I'm really hungry." I mumble and she gives me an understanding look. As we arrive at McDs drive my mind flashes back the memories of when me and mom used to go to McD back in South Africa. She orders and I look at her in confusion, she called chips...
"Fries?" Is she adapting to the language people from the United States speak?.
"Yes fries, oh just eat your burger and stop asking." She mumbles and drives away. For a moment the car ride becomes silent, obviously it is because my mouth is stuffed with a burger and she can't talk to me whilst I'm eating, car manners duh!
"So the holidays are over soon, you ready for Millbrook?" She asks giving me a smile. Oh she is pressing, she's definitely pressing. Is she for real?, if I only knew she wanted to take me to New York then get rid of me like that. She shows no empathy at all, manipulated me into....she taps her steering wheel, knocking me out of my thoughts. I bite a huge bite out of my burger then talk.
"I'm sssfill eeeaamfing, cfaar maamfers." I muffle looking out the window.
"If you will keep avoiding this topic t...." She says and I gulp hard in anger and cut her out.
"Why did you bring me here in the first place, to ditch me at a boarding school with rich spoilt brats that don't know what to do with their money either than spend over making fun of people?, you wanted me to live with you!" I yell but lower my tone seeing my utterly selfish disrespect I have towards my mom. I calm down and give her an apologetic look for raising my voice at her.
"I will have international business meetings, I cannot leave you alone in that house not having much knowledge of what you are doing. I want you in a safe environment where I know you are safe as safe. Besides on weekends you will come back home.
" If I am safe, but fine I am ready I guess, since I know how boarding schools are." I mumble looking out the window. Why do mothers always seem right making us seem wrong as always. If I'm in trouble I will call her like I usually do.
"Please read your brochures once you get home darling" She says with an excited smile. I nod my head assuring her that I will do so. The car enters the driveway and without any permission I jump out of the car. With my heavy duffel bag I manage to open the huge silver tinted glass door. I never really observed this house we live in, I might as well do so. The sofas are so white, with no mark left showing people have sat their buttocks there, and the statues of white Goblins. So mom decided to paint white Goblins not black ones, she makes them look holy, this fails to amaze me since I know she loves white.
"Welcome back Lizzy." A maid says giving me a sympathetic smile. I smile back pushing away the curly hair in my face. I quickly rush up the stairs to my room. I still don't get why my room is the last room and so far, but I thank mom because I won't be disturbed in my sleep by the clashing of plates or the voices of maids or cars passing by.
I enter my room and it is more advanced than ever, more huge and more beautiful. She even put a window sofa for me so I may read my books next to the window since I really love doing that. My bed is neatly made and my phone...
"Stranger!" Is the the first thing that pops out of my head, maybe he sent me a message,and I didn't answer.....what is happening to me, I meet a total stranger and now I care to see its messages more than I care to see my friends messages...I need to visit the brain doctor...
I unlock my phone and my eyes widen at the tons of notifications I have. Most of the notifications being my friends but that doesn't matter now...seriously?, what is wrong with me??. A feeling of guilt comes my way, so I do choose
