August 19 of 2014, 3:31pm, the time when I awoke. I awoke, still wonky and actually half-asleep, in a room which looks like a room from a hospital. Awake, I felt the cold atmosphere from my head to toe, chilled. The doctors said that I was in a coma for almost a year. I don't even know what happened to me and caused me to be in a coma. When some adults knew I awoke from a slumber that seemed forever, they rushed into my room with tears in their eyes, happy to see me. But some part of me doesn't feel right. Its as if...
...
I. Can't. Remember. Anything.
I cried when I saw them, not because I was happy to see someone but the reason why I was crying because I couldn't remember a single thing that's ever happened to me. Like, there's an urge inside of me wanting to ask every possible question that I can think of, any question that just pops into my mind.
"Are you my Mom and Dad? Who am I?? What happened to me?? Please help me! I can't remember anything that happened in my entire life!" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Don't worry, we are your parents. Son, don't you ever worry. The doctors said that its normal for patients to experience memory loss after they recovered from a coma but, they also said that its temporary." Said my Mom.
"But Mom, I don't think you understand. I really can't familiarize myself with any of your faces, our memories, where I lived, why I-"
"Son, stop your questions for now. The doctors said that its not healthy for you to be stressed out right now. After that concussion, I didn't even think that you'd ever live but God answered our prayers and here you are, alive and awake." Said my Dad, I could see the joy in his face.
"I see that you're now moving. The fact is that one of the worst case scenarios is that you will awaken from your comatose but you'll be paralyzed." Said the doctor.
"My case was that serious!? Wow, I really am VERY lucky to be alive. But anyways, what happened to me by the way?"
The moment I asked them why, I saw sorrow in my parents. They said that they heard me crying in my room, they asked me why I was crying and I didn't even respond to them. A few minutes later they were already eating supper and they let me be alone with myself for a while when an hour or so has passed, they checked on me to see if I was already okay but was shocked when they couldn't find me.
Then they searched my room and saw that I was chatting with my BestFriend(whom I couldn't recall his/her face) in Facebook. And it seemed like that we had an argument. When they were at the middle of reading our conversation, my sister found a rope of blanket outside of my window leading to our backyard. So they ran quickly to get in the car, the car roared as the engines ignited. They quickly started looking for me when they got into quite a traffic. So my sister went out of the car to see what was going on.
My parents waited for like 4-5 minutes in the car, and in the distance they saw my sister calling out to them.
"Mom! Dad! Its Luis!"
So that's my name.When they knew it was me, they got out of the car and saw...
I was causing the traffic.
They asked one of the locals what happened, they said that I was running straight not caring if someone was in my way but with tears in my eyes. I was running and running until I reached a traffic light and ignored it, it was signaled for go.Since the bus was so big and looked like it was in a hurry, it didn't see me and one moment later I was hit by the bus.
I was so surprised to hear that part.
Going back to the backstory, there I was, still on the ground covered in blood. They rushed me to the nearest clinic, hospital, or any medical service centre. They were very worried to know what was of my condition. After a few hours which seemed forever, the doctor came out and told them to relax a little bit because I was still alive but I was in a state of coma.
