~~A week later~~
Elizabeth’s eyes slowly flutter open; she quickly looks around the room digging her nails into the bed she’s laying on taking in where she is.
Elizabeth’s POV
What is that annoying beeping noise? Oh it’s a machine… wait where am I? Why isn’t anyone I know here?
Elizabeth’s mom walks past Elizabeth’s room pacing on the phone, with a chocolate chip muffin in her hand.
Elizabeth’s MOM POV
Wait was Elizabeth finally up? Nah, you are probably imagining it like the last five times. Wait, did I just hear rustling in her room?
Elizabeth’s mom slowly peaks her head around Elizabeth’s doorway. Her mouth can’t even get a word out, next thing she knows, her feet are running toward Elizabeth and her arms being thrown around her daughter’s fragile figure.
“Mom, I.. can’t…breathe… ,” Elizabeth manages to squeak out as her mom squeezes her like a boa constrictor.
“Sorry! I’m just so glad you are finally awake,” her mom replies setting her hands on Elizabeth’s shoulders with watery eyes.
“Mom I have a question,” Elizabeth asks barely audible.
“What is it?” her mom eagerly asks.
“How long have I been asleep?” Elizabeth asks biting her lip.
“A week since they knocked you out with the medicine,” her mom replies with hurt in her eyes.
“How is that even possible? Why did I sleep that long?” Elizabeth spits out in disbelief.
“Well, you had an allergic reaction to the medicine they gave you to knock you out… So they had to flush your whole body out so they could get rid of any trace of the medicine in your body. And that took like three days just so they could be sure. They weren’t sure if you would make it,” Elizabeth’s mom quickly explains chocking on the last sentence.
Elizabeth’s POV
I could have just died right there, because of stupid medicine. If I can die of medicine that easily could my cancer come back and kill me even quicker?
“Elizabeth you are finally awake, that’s great,” a nurse says walking into the room with a huge fake smile.
Elizabeth’s POV
That’s the nurse that Niall was checking out, Niall! I wonder if he’s here yet…
“…you listening? The nurse finishes turning to Elizabeth.
“What? I’m sorry I thought you were talking to my mom,” Elizabeth asks blushing.
“I was saying, I’m going to ask you some questions,” the nurse replies annoyed.
“Ok,” Elizabeth replies as her face slowly takes on a red fire hydrant color.
“Does anything hurt on you?” the nurse asks lifting her pen to jot down notes.
“Well, I haven’t exactly tried to get up,” Elizabeth replies timidly.
“Well, then if you want then you can try to get up, I’ll even.. help you,” the nurse replies in disgust not even bothering to look up from her notepad.
