Zoey

*Beep Beep Beep*

What was making that sound, did I leave my phone alarm on? I woke up and flinched when I saw a bright light, I instantly realized where I was and started to panic.

I hated hospitals, I had nosocomephobia which was a phobia of hospitals. You had to ease me into the fact I was going there, or you had to sedate me and then explain once I woke up knowing where I was. I hated them because of how my parents died, all the blood and it just looked like a horror scene.

"Zoey! Calm down, you are at the hospital because you wouldn't wake up." I looked at Carson, who looked worried and terrified.

I focused on her, I was used to being alone in doctors offices and hospitals. This was the first time having a friend or somebody next to me too calm me down, I started to relax my breathing but I was extremely cautious and jumpy.

"W-w-what happened?" I stuttered, but calmed my breathing.

"I came over and knocked but there was no answer, at first I wasn't worried but a couple hours later you still hadn't left and I got worried and well called the landlord and he came and unlocked the door- no matter what I did, you wouldn't wake up so I called the ambulance." She spoke really fast, and then gasped for air at the end.

"I fell asleep on the couch, I felt really tired all of a sudden." I responded honestly, I realized then that Carson was a true friend.

"You have anemia, your iron levels were dangerously low." A doctor in a white coat spoke, walking into the room.

"I've never had that before?" I spoke softly, I was definitely nervous.

"How long ago did you go for a full check up" The doctor asked, I began to think.

"A couple years." I spoke honestly, I couldn't remember the last time I had a check up.

"You must've gained it over years and its been untreated." The doctor replied, I wanted to leave.

"Can I leave?" I asked, he looked at the board on my bed.

"Yes, you can get changed and sign out- we will give you a prescription for iron tablets." He said then left the room, he really hated his patients.

"Your phone has been ringing." Carson said, as I stood and made my way to the bathroom.

I turned on the screen and was baffled when I saw that it was already 6pm at night. I literally slept for 20 hours, I almost slept a whole day away and I only fell asleep at 10pm last night.
