A few hours have passed... 

I was about to sleep when the door opened again. 

It's a nurse. 

She gave me a glass of water. 

I drank it. 

I felt myself get rehydrated. 

The nurse smiled and nodded at me. 

I nodded back and she left the room. 

A few minutes after the nurse left, Auntie J entered. 

"Can you speak now?" She asked. 

At first I let out a squeak. 

Then I finally spoke. 

My voice was a bit dry and weak, But atleast I could talk. 

"What happened?" I asked. 

Auntie J thought for a moment. 

"You got hit by a drunk driver while you were heading to school." She said. 

"Damages?" I asked. 

"Both arms. Cut off." She said. 

"Oh." I muttered. 

I looked at what supposed to be my arms, but found wooden ones instead. 

I teared up a bit. 

But I didn't let them out. 

No. 

"I guess I'll be living armless now." I said. 

I could see Auntie J's face, It's full of hurt. 

"I'm sorry this happened to you." She said. 

"Don't be." I said, smiling. 

"I'll get used to this eventually." I continued. She smiled back. 

"I guess you got your mother's personality." She said, chuckling. 

Wait. I built artificial limbs! 

"Hey Auntie?" I called out. 

"Yes, dear?" She said. 

"When can I get out off here?" I asked. 

She laughed after my statement. 

"Tomorrow, Dear. Why? Excited to see someone?" She said, Giggling. 

I blushed. 

"Auntie!" I said, giggling. 

"Haha. Well you should get some rest.

You'll need some energy tomorrow." She said, walking off. 

"Kay." I said. 

She left the room. 

Hopefully the limbs will work functionally.
