Love Complications Book 1

Chapter 31

Piper P.O.V

I open my eyes and close them instantly as the light in the room hurts them. I attempt to open my eyes again, but this time much slower and one by one. I look around, at the unfamiliar surroundings just as the smell of cleanliness and bleach rushes to my nose.

A dry cough takes hold of my throat as I try to sit up from lying down.

"She's up!" I hear my mum shout at the door to my right hand side.

I look around to the bland white walls and machinery sitting beside me. I study my left hand and see an IV drip taped to my hand.

Then it clicks, i'm in the hospital.

My mum comes over to me as I continue my coughing fit. She pours water in a glass at the bottom of my bed. I try to sit up on the bed by slowly pulling myself up, I put all my weight onto my right hand to keep me steady. However, it's too difficult for me to manage this simple task so my mum comes over to me and puts an arm around me and helps me sit up, she then hands me the glass of water when I'm stable and sitting up straight.

I take the water and it instantly drink it, it clears my throat and the coughing finally stops, I become more relaxed.

"Mom." I squeak as I hand her back the glass and she returns it to the table.

She rubs my back.

"Your safe my baby." She smiles at me.

I can see she was crying the red puffiness in her eyes is still there.

"What happen? Why am I here?" I ask her looking puzzled.

Before she answers, the doctor comes in with a nurse.

"Piper your back with us." The doctor smiles as he lifts the clipboard at the end of my bed.

I want you lie down I want to check a few things.

I nod and lie down as my mum holds my right hand I squeeze it gently and she kisses it.

He flashes a light in my eye and asks me to follow it.

"Can you wiggle your toes?" He ask and I nod as I wiggle my toes.

"That's great Piper." He replies as he takes down notes.

"What do you last remember?" He asks looking at me.

"I remember.. the prom." I shake my head as its all fuzzy.

"Do you remember what happened at the prom?" He asks intrigued.

I think long and hard.

"I remember toilets, and going outside.."

I pause as I think back.

"I was walking to the car and then."

I turn and look at my mum, worriedly.

"Dave's car!! Mum someone was spray painting it." I shake my head apologetically.

"It's fine baby. Don't worry about the car." She smiles as she squeezes my hand.

My head begins to go fuzzy and I grab it with both my hands.

"It's all blurry after that." I look at the doctor worriedly.

"What happened?" I look between him and my mum.

He continues to write in my file.

"Piper do you remember being in a fight?" He asks me.

I think hard. As everything is still blurry.

"I remember glass, broken glass." I say shaking my head.
