All I heard were sirens.So loud and annoying.Wait why can't I open my eyes?Someone is holding my hand.I have to know what's going on."Wh-Where?" I said with an extreme amount of pain."Shh your okay I'm here now all you need to do is rest." said someone hovering over me.My eyes were shut and all I see is darkness.Tons of it.Is this what it's like to be dead?I sure hope not.I began to drift off.Slowly and slowly I fell asleep.I was comfortable.-3 hours later- I started to flicker my eyes open when I saw her."Where am I?Who are you?What the hell is going on?"I said to the person who's watching me in a chair."Don't worry,your in the hospital you'll start to remember everything in a little while.You bonked your head pretty bad."said the strange man I've never seen before.Strangely enough I felt a connection.I must know him I just can't seem to remember."Dawn!Where's Dawn?!"I said frantically.I could never forget her."See your remembering!Hey I know a Dawn!But I better go get the doctor so they know your awake."said the man which name I forgot to ask.With some luck maybe he knows my Dawn.Wait she's not your Dawn Tera she stood you up remember?Wait I remember!I remember what happened before the darkness came upon me.Dawn finally had a day off but she didn't even show up.Hmph I can't still be mad, I just hope she finds me soon.I'm probably worrying her to death so that's enough of a punishment.I still need to know why she didn't show up though."Aghh err ugh"I said with a loud groan.My head-where's that doctor?"Yes sorry to keep you waiting Mrs.Graves-"the doctor said before I cut him off."That was my mother's name please just call me Tera and where's Dawn?!"I said to the tired doctor."Yes sorry,Tera Your wife Dawn was alerted 2 minutes ago she's on her way now."said the doctor who I could tell was easily annoyed.He walks out.Wait my wife?She told him I was HER wife!??!She has the nerve-you know what I am in pain I am not dealing with this right now.Wheres that strange guy?Your probably thinking why am I calling him strange that's a bit rude.But trust me his eyes are dead.Literally dead.Theres no life there.No soul.It looks like he hasn't slept in 6 days, that kind of dead.Odd enough he had almost the same colored eyes as me!We look alike enough that we could pass as twins!But I'm glad we aren't.Just by looking at him you could tell what type of guy he is.He was the type of kid to where if you told him he can't play with your barbies then the next day you wake up to find all of your barbies heads around the house.Yes I am speaking from experience."Hey sorry for the absence I was trying to get you some food.Turns out they have icecream!!"he said waving around mint chocolate chip icecream."(my absolute favorite)"Oh my gosh how did you know that's my favorite?Also I didn't catch your name!"I said chomping down the icecream."Just a hunch"he said rather fast."Ah how rude of me apologizes for my manners my name is Terrin,your new neighbor!I can tell we're gonna be friends!"he said with a half smile.Like he was waiting for my approval."Considering you saved my life,sure, friends."I said with mint chocolate chip icecream on my face.I could've got stuck with someone worse.But he is still odd.Looks like I got a new friend though.I think?
