We All Bleed Blue

The Accident

The bright orange glow of the sun shining through my white curtains is what woke me up, my eyes struggling to adjust as I look at the ray of sun on my carpet thinking about all my assignments, I had due today.

I stretch my back, hearing a few cracks, before swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and then proceeding to sit there and stare at the beautiful ray on my carpet.

'3 assignments and a dream' I think to myself sighing and laying back down, playing with the hem of my shirt 'come on you got this Sam'.

I look around my bedroom, admiring it.

The white sheer curtains and off-white walls, my baby blue and light-yellow bedding, my 3 beautiful plants hanging in the corner above my white desk which was holding my school computer.

I roll off my bed walking to the left side of my room standing in front of my obnoxiously large mirror surveying how awful I looked in the morning.

My messy brown hair framing my round face and covering one of my dark brown eyes.

My slim pale frame only covered by a plain white tank top and pink and white stipe shorts.

I walk into my bathroom that I was fortunate enough to have in my bedroom, although small it was perfect for me, it had a shower, toilet and sink, as well as a few extra feet to move around.

I stand at my sink and wash my face with some cold water debating if I should have a shower or not.

I check the time on my phone "....8....30.... No shower it is" I say aloud to myself dashing to my closet throwing on some boyfriend jeans and a plain white shirt.

I run downstairs grab my bag and quickly put on my slip-on white vans running out the door.

I get into my car but it doesn't start, I punch my door hurting my hand "YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME" I yell getting out and slamming the car door.

'Looks like I'm running to school' I think, internally sighing.

And with that I begin my 10 minute run.

I stop running, panting uncontrollably, my lungs burning and my heart thumping so loud in my ears.

I look across the road at my school and smile "I did it thank god"

I take 3 steps onto the road stupidly not looking to my left until it was too late.

Everything went in slow motion, the car screeching my world stopping.

The rain that day had made it hard to really see much but the lights from the car which followed me into unconsciousness.

It was dark and cold wherever I was, just me and darkness for what felt like forever.

So it came as a surprise the bright white light at the end of this dark, lonely tunnel.

I stand from where i'm sitting and slowly.. cautiously walk towards that bright light, my feet quiet and my breathing uneven.

The closer I got the more the light blinded me, I shut my eyes and reach out to the light feeling like the floor from under me had opened up and I was falling.

I try scream but nothing comes out my eyes shooting open and the bright light still blinding me.

Only I could hear beeping now and I felt something in my throat causing me to cough.

I hear someone yelling for a.. Doctor? I try squinting to see past the bright white light and slowly but surely a hospital room starts to slowly appear and all my memories come back to me of what happened.

Someone comes into view, a boy with black hair and green eyes? maybe its too hard to see its so bright and i'm so tired, maybe ill just close my eyes for a second.

"I got you" is the last thing I hear before succumbing to sleep.
