When I became conscious, I saw only white at first then I heard a voice saying she is awake.
It was my mom's and I could hear her call for the doctor.
I open my eyes gently, it stung from too much light.
I need not ask about where I was,  I knew I was at an hospital already. 
Hi sweetie,  mom said holding my right hand.
Hi mum. How did I get here? and how long have I been here?
You fainted next to your locker at school three days ago and you were rushed here.
Which means I've been here for three days?
Yes darling, but the doctor says you'll be just fine. She added.
Today is Thursday right?
Yes you're correct. She chuckled.
           My mother is whom you can call always smiling. She was never caught with a frown, she is either smiling,laughing, chuckling, giggling or screaming happy and if you've guessed yet she is rather fragile than fierce!
   I have spent spent 3 days In the hospital and I have no idea.
I have been in that black blank space screaming and getting back a echo of my voice for 3 days! What the hell!
I wasn't going to tell any of those things I saw or felt to my mum, I'd get her scared.
I didn't want to bother her.
She'd be really worried.
As I was lost in thought, Brenda walked up to the side of the bed where I laid.
Hi angel, how are you feeling? 
I'm fine Bee.  Thanks for checking on me.
Yeah, you're welcome. I was here yesterday but you were unconscious. She said.
Oh, yeah I guess I hit the locker quite hard.
Haha, sorry. She chuckled.
It's okay babes. I replied.
Octa? [as she does call me I short ]
Yes. I answered her almost immediately. What's up?
She fell silent at first and looked up at me.
I have something to tell you. Something very important.
