I opened my eyes to hear a beeping noise beside me. My vision was blurred at first but my eyes slowly adjusted.

I felt a slight pain in my head as I looked around to realise that I had no idea where I was.

I looked down at my arms to see all kinds of wires stuck into them and realised that i must be in a hospital.

What the hell am i doing here? I thought. I wasn't sick or anything. Did i like, faint or something.

I realised that the beeping was coming from a heartrate monitor beside me. This was some serious grey's anatomy shit.

I looked around the room feeling dizzy to see my brother Jesse asleep in an armchair across the room.

"Jesse" I called but my voice only came out as a whisper. "Jesse, wake up"

He sturred and opened his eyes. "Isobel!" He jumped out of his chair and an uncommon smile spread across his face. One i hadn't seen for a long time. I was not expecting that.

I watched him run out the door "Hey, someone, she's awake!"

Then he ran over to me and hugged me so tightly I nearly suffocated. I wasn't expecting that either!

I hugged him back happily. "Um, so yeah, i'm awake. What happened... exactly?" I asked Jesse confused.

"Isobel, You've been in a coma for a month! You were in a car crash!"

I felt light-headed and had to rest my head again. "No, come on Jesse, why am I here?" I said.

"I'm serious, we've all missed you so much and we've been visiting you all the time. The doctors said you could wake up any time and there was no knowing how long it would take"

"But,.. i don't understand. I can't remember being in a car crash. how? w-what?" I stuttered. My head was all over the place but I definately didn't recall being in a car crash.

"It's okay, the doctors say your memory can be affected after being in a coma" Jesse said.

For the rest of the day I had to go through all these tests for all kinds of things that could have happened to me but everything seemed fine.

Apparently I had a serious blow to the head but there was no knowing whether my brain was damaged or not until I found out myself, which was pretty scary.

I was required to stay in hospital for 3 days just so they could watch me to see if anything changed which was of course extremely boring.

Nearing the end of the day Jesse announced that i had a visitor.

Brad came running in the minute he was allowed and I smiled happy to see my best friend.

"Well it's about time, today has been so boring!" I said.

"Sorry, I was caught up in a pile of stuff" he said. "Here, I got you something"

He presented ne with a packet of chocolate chip cookies and his Ipod with earphones.

"Thank you!" I said.

Brad bent down and hugged me "I've missd you so much! The doctors said you could wake up any minute, but I never thought it would take you a whole month!" he said indicating for me to move over, which i did and he flopped down onto the narrow hospital bed beside me.

"What's been going on?" I asked waving as Jesse left.

"Well, everyone's been coming to visit you whenever we could. Even Damon..."
