CHAPTER 15- BAD THINGS CAN LEAD TO GOOD THINGS?
FLORA'S P.O.V
It had been a week since Noah has been in the hospital and he was getting discharged today. He had told me the good news about a few days ago and I had been so happy for him. The only thing that made me upset was that he was going to be able to hear everyone’s voices except mine. I had tried for years, looked at ways that I could start talking again but because of that unfortunate night, this had happened.
I had just gotten out of class and was walking to my car when I got a text message.
3:40pm, Noah; where are you?
3:40pm, Flora; Just got out of school coming to you.
3:41pm, Noah; I already got discharged, come to my house.
3:42pm, Flora; Okay, see you in 15 x
3:43pm, Noah; See you x
I got out of the school car park and made a left turn to Noah’s house. I stopped at the red lights and as soon as it turned green, I stepped on the gas hurrying to go see Noah. Just as I had passed the line and made it to the middle of the road a car came from my left and hit the car from the middle.
I felt the car flip and turn a few times, my arms shielding my face and me screaming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard beeping before I had the strength to open my eyes, the heart monitor going at a steady rhythm just like my breath. I looked around me, realizing that I was in a hospital room, out of the places in my body that hurt, my throat hurt the most. It felt like in was on fire that I just wanted to rip it out. I looked outside and saw that the sun was setting.
I heard commotion outside my door, and then a second later the door that was to my left opened and my mum came in with the doctor behind her. I started to cry when I saw her and she started to cry as well. She ran to me, hugging me while trying not to squeeze me too much and stroked my hair. I cried into her shoulder and she cried onto mine. She pulled away and wiped both our tears away.
“I was so scared.” She whispered, “That I’d you loose you too.”
I tried not to cry and looked at the doctor instead, wanting to know what the damage on my body was. He came forward and smiled at me. What was to smile at? I was just in a car crash.
“Hello Flora, do you remember what happened during the crash?” He asked me and I thought hard and widened my eyes when I remembered me screaming. I was just about to sign to my mum that I had screamed but couldn’t get my right arm up because it was in a cast. Holy shit. Broken arm?
With my left hand I pointed to my mouth and made a talking motion.
“Just as I thought.” He replied to my hand gesture, “Because of you getting scared during the crash, that triggered you to talk again and your arm should be fine as well, just broken nothing serious.” I started at him wide eyed. I can talk again? Just today I had been upset about Noah not being able to hear me.
I pointed to my throat and he nodded, understanding that I was in pain. “Because you haven’t talked in about 5 years and the first thing that came out of your mouth was a scream, it is normal for your throat to hurt, it would probably pass in a few hours and then you could slowly start to speak again."
He smiled at me and went out of the room. I looked over at my mum and smiled broadly, I was going to be able to talk again.
Just as my mum was about to say something, Noah came running into the room. I was supposed to be at his house a few hours ago.
