Trapped

Chapter 18

Conner POV

It didn't take a rocket scientist to understand what had happened to me, even before the doctor had come into my room. The white walls and floor cleaner smell, along with the machines and chairs. I had woken up from a long, long, dream. And I was in a hospital.

Being alone with only your thoughts to entertain you for weeks, you can figure a lot of things out. First of all, yes, it is possible to go insane with loss of human interaction and secondly, it is legitimately impossible for the whole world's population to vanish on you within an hour.

I don't think I ever came up with the idea that I had entered a coma, nor did I even remember anything about that bus accident, but I did have some thoughts about it all being a dream. The only thing preventing me from fully accepting this was the fact that I wasn't waking up from it.

But then I did.

As Dr. James explained everything to me it was like he was taking an axe and repetitively slashing it into my chest. My Violet, my baby, my world, had been completely made up by my brain to simply pass the time as I built up enough brain power to wake up.

The good thing is that Violet Shoemaker does exist. She is alive, and according to the doctor well again. The man had no mercy in telling me that she had also fell into a coma. I almost had a heart attack right then and there before I remembered that she wasn't the girl I fell in love with.

For all I know Violet could be a cold hearted bitch. A smart one nonetheless but it makes sense how easy it was for me to fall for her, I made her exactly who I wanted her to be subconsciously.

I can be released from the hospital tomorrow, considering its been almost a week since I have woken up. My father has been filling out paperwork for a few days now as well, my dad is honestly my best friend. My mom had died when I was so young I legitimately don't remember anything more than four memories of her, so its been just my dad and I for pretty much my whole life. He isn't the type of strict father either, nor is he careless but he fits somewhere in the middle and I appreciate that tremendously.

"So you really think you are ready for school man?" Mathew speaks taking me out of my thoughts and  back to this depressing reality. He is visiting me and sitting on one of the very uncomfortable looking chairs next to my bed. I feel bad to admit it but I completely forgot about Matt for a little while, so imagine my guilt when he came to visit me the second day I woke up.

"Yeah, I need to get back to reality you know?" I responded and he nodded,

"Hey dude I get it, you wanna forget this past month never happened, consider it done." He said smiling and I cringed inwardly. How could I forget the happiest three months of my life? 

"Well I don't want to forget all of it..." I said and he looked at me as if I just asked him an AP Calculus question

"So let me get this straight.." he started then leaned his elbows on his knees, "you want  to remember the fact you got into an accident and went into a coma for a month?" He asked and looked dumbfounded. Well when he put it like that it sounded kind of silly that I didn't want to move on from it, but he had no idea what it felt like to fall in love with an amazing girl, real or not. "Well I guess that's up to you though, if you want to remember it then by all means, don't let me stop you." He finally said when I didn't respond.

"So did you know that other chick who went into a coma as well?  Shoemaker I think her name was?" He asked while scrolling though his phone and I'm thankful for that because he didn't see my eyes pop out of my head or my heart start to beat a million miles an hour just from hearing her name.
