Psycho Case

Day 2

The next morning, a nurse wakes me around 7 and brings me a tiny breakfast, it is composed of a piece of bread, jam, and a big glass of water. I eat in a hurry, then pull on a jogger, a green pullover and I brush my teeth. I search through my backpack, there I find an elastic and a hair brush. I brush my hair quickly and put my hair together in a ponytail, some hair locks fall out but it somehow gives a nice effect. After getting ready, I take out the block note and pen I made Spikey bring me yesterday and sit down on my bed to take some notes.

Right after finishing my notes, an old lady with pink hair enters my room. I assume she is my grandmother about what I heard from her personality. As soon as she sees me sitting on the hospital bed, she runs toward me to trap me into a big hug. "My dear lollipop, how could this possibly happen?" she asks with an agitated voice. The pink haired lady sits down on the side of the bed and looks me in my eyes trying to find out something even I don't know anything about. "I don't know Grandma, it just happened" I say with a way too rude and cold voice. She ignores my tone and pursues "I just talked with the nurses, they told me you need to stay here for a few days... So... you really don't remember anything?" she asks with an inquisitive look. I shake my head "No, sorry". Surprised, she asks "Then how did you know I am your Grandmother?" I tell her that Barbara told me a bit about her, Margareth nods and looks relieved. "At least you don't seem hurt, and I see you still got the same strong character... My dear, I need to go to Fitness to stay in condition, I will come back to see you this evening, alright?" She gives me a caress on my head and leaves before I could agree or say anything. For some reason I don't really like this lady, she just seems too much. I get the feeling she hides something from me, gotta find that out...

A few minutes after my grandmother left, the black haired doctor uh Jack, enters my room, he walks towards me to shake my hand and wish me a good morning.

"I got the results of the blood tests from yesterday, everything seems in order in that point of view, no infections, no diseases or organic problems that we could detect." he smiles to me, "there is just a MRI left to do and if the results from those scans are negative, you can go home and you will just need to pass by for some controls the next weeks." He asks me to follow him so we can go to the radiology department.

After all the scans are done Jack tells me they will get the results of the MRI during the afternoon. He leads me back to my hospital room, when I enter my room Barbara is already there, she sits on my bed holding a sketchbook and a pencil. She got that big amazing smile on her face and said "I told you I will bring you your drawing tools first thing today!" I nod my head, she is incredible. "Spikey..." I say acting shy, then I sit down next to her on the bed, she hands me over the sketchbook. "Don't just sit there you dummy, draw something to see if you still have it in you!". I take the pencil from her, open the Sketchbook and think about what I could try to draw. After thinking a bit I look at barbara and smile, motivated, I put the pencil on the paper and get started. After a quite long time I finished my work and turned around to show it to Barbara. I find her sleeping on the bed, I smile, then shake her gently to wake her up. She looks at me, asks me if I finished and pulls the Sketchbook out of my hands, looks at my work and starts laughing. "See! That's my girl! You still got it in ya! That looks exactly like me, and you even managed to make me look prettier than in real life. And you made my chin way smaller! I love ya!" She pulls me against her to hug me while laughing, her happiness radiates on me and I start feeling good.

Barbara and I have been talking and laughing for hours, time passed so quickly that I was surprised when the blond nurse entered my room with lunch. Suddenly Barbara jumps up "What is it?" I ask her. "I am late for work! I had to open the store!" she looks at her phone and turns pale "I have to leave, I will pass by this evening, if my boss didn't kill me by the..." On those words she leaves the room, letting me sink back in my sad and lonely thoughts again. I take a lot of time eating lunch, the food just doesn't taste right now.. The nurse comes back after a while and wonders why I didn't eat everything. After telling the nurse briefly I'm neither in the mood to eat or to talk about how I feel, she leaves the room again. I cringe on my bed and stare in the emptiness. What would I do right now if I hadn't lost my memory? Even that, I don't know... I am looking at my sketch book, it is begging me to draw something. I think for a few minutes but nothing comes to mind. It is easy to draw things you know, but as soon as you need to draw something that doesn't exist it gets harder to find ideas. I lay down on my bed, wanting all this had never happened, that I could remember something. I can't even look forward to going home... How is my home? What does my room look like? I feel like getting to see my room would help me in my quest on finding clues about my identity. Maybe I could even retrieve some of my memories! Suddenly I get back some motivation, I stand up and look out of the window. I need to get out of here as soon as possible! Should I just walk away? I put on my sneakers and my jacket, then, I grab my stuff together to put them in my black backpack, then I walk toward the door of my room... The door opens, Shit! I throw my backpack under the bed and do as if I was going for a walk in the corridors. It is the doctor, Jack, that opened the door, surprised to see me standing right in front of the door, he says "Oh, hello Caitaline, where were you heading to?".
