The next morning has been better than usual. There were so many people coming to see me and telling me things no one else knew. I could use this as some sort of superpower. I wonder if Kenzie will come see me. Maybe she will say something she never said before. Maybe when I wake up I can use it against her. Riley still hasn't come to see me yet, I wonder why. Should I get worried, I never saw what happened to her, maybe she is hurt too. My mom came in casually throughout the morning and told me things too. Like “Please wake up” or “If you can hear please show me some kind of sign.” I wish I could tell her that I could, but I don’t think that was possible. Then I heard the door shut quietly, like they were trying to hide the fact they came.
“Hey Kylie I’m really sorry about this… I don’t know what I was thinking. You probably won’t forgive me and I’m okay with that.” It was Kenzie, I can’t believe she came. She sounds scared, I feel bad for her, a little bit… I know I should forgive her but It’s going to be hard.
“I wish I never started dating Hayes, because life was so much easier without boys. It was just me and you, I liked it that way. I miss you a lot I wish we were still friends, Too bad you aren’t ever going to hear this again.” I can agree with that. I wish I could tell her something, I’m getting tired of not being able to respond to anyone.
“Why did I do that to you? I can’t ever forgive myself especially if you never wake up.” That got me thinking about the word “never” we used to always say to each other “never say never” when were friends. All of a sudden a jolt of electricity went through my body and I couldn’t hear her anymore. I was in my head or something. I was a ghost and looking at my past memories with Kenzie when we were little. The good days and the bad. I saw everything in just a blink of an eye. Then, I woke up and I could see Kenzie sitting there crying, I could speak I could do everything. I moved around a little bit and Kenzie looked at me surprised. She ran out as fast as she could. My parents came shuffling in. When they saw me awake there eyes lit up and It felt like everything was going to be okay again, until I looked down at my arms and legs. I saw burns on my pale skin, it looked scary. I touched one and it stung like a thousand bees stinging my skin at once. I looked at my mom and she looked scared, because she couldn’t do anything to help me. They came and sat by me and told everything the doctor said to them, even though I heard it all already. When they told me I couldn’t surf anymore, I started to tear up. They knew I was going to start crying if I heard anymore, so they sat there in silence. After about 10 seconds the doctor came in to put medicine on my arms and legs. It stung for awhile then I got used to it. I had a major headache, and I was really hungry I don’t know how long I was sleeping but It must’ve been too long.The doctor asked me if I had any questions, I tried to force a sentence out of my mouth.
“How long was I asleep?” That’s all I could manage for now.
“Well don’t be frightened by this but it has been about a month. We fed you through a tube so you wouldn’t starve and we had a machine pumping your blood.” Wow… A whole month I sat there speechless no words came to my mind. It’s like I was hibernating for the winter, except it’s summer. I missed a whole month of summer because of Kenzie. I can’t believe she would do that to me. The angrier I became the worst my headache got. I tried to calm down and take a nap.
The next week was going to be hard, but I will do anything to get better. The doctor wants me to stay in the hospital for a few more days to make sure I’m okay. The hospital food is disgusting so my mom goes and gets me frozen yogurt at a famous cafe. It’s called Marty’s Famous Frozen Yogurt. It’s decorated with yogurt scoops on the walls with a pale pink and blue paint. There are 2 chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and a bar for the adults. You can order all kinds of foods not just Frozen Yogurt. My mom also goes to subway because subway is my other favorite place to eat. I get the same sandwich every time I go; bacon, turkey, american cheese, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It’s not a lot of stuff, but I love it.
