Trapped

Chapter 24

Violet POV

"Any headaches still? Dizziness?" Dr. James asked me. I tried to ignore the fact that this building had had so many bad memories held here. Knowing that the whole time that I was dreaming of my time with Conner I was just unconscious under this roof sends chills through my body, along with the freezing temperature of the office.

"No, the headaches stopped a few days ago." I answer him. He nods with a smile on his face, obviously happy with the results of my post-comatic life. If only he knew what is really going on.

I've never really had any type of drama go on in my life. Before the accident my life souly revolved around school, sad I know, but true. Now all of a sudden I am thrown into this Syfy like, fantasy issue that my brain created. Also, now that Mathew, who is best friends with Conner; the other victim of the accident, moved into Ryan's class and were talking about us, the four of us are now some how connected.

With everything that has happened I could probably write a whole book about it.

"Okay Violet I think you are progressing very nicely, do you have any questions for me?" He asks me and I think for a second,

"Do you know of any psychologists near here?" I ask him without second guessing myself.

"What for?" He asks me putting down his clipboard and looking back to me,

"Well Its just that I had this dream. Well it was actually more of a made up reality I guess because it was continuous throughout the whole time I was unconscious. I was just thinking that maybe I could go see someone who could help me understand what it all meant? Like why I had the dream that I had?" I tell him and he nods before taking a piece of his note paper and writing down a number on it as well as an address.

"There is a women who does hour sessions two days a week. It's about twenty five minutes from here but from what I have heard she is well worth the drive every week." He smiles and hands me the note. I thank him before picking up my bag and making my way out of his office to meet my mom in the lobby.

"You all set?" She asks me and I nod as we make our way to the exit. As we enter the hallway that leads to the door I feel my world come to a halt as I see Conner walk through the door.

Conner POV

Finishing up a paragraph on my essay, I scroll slowly up to the top to take in how much I have really typed. At this point the paper is twenty five pages long. I know that that is a ridiculously long essay but I have a feeling that after I edit it and chop out anything unnecessary, it'll knock it down a few pages. At this point I'm just spitting out everything I can remember from my dream, letting my fingers do most of the thinking. I'm still contemplating whether I should include the fact that it was all a dream or end it when Violet didn't wake up. Either way it was going to be an awful ending.

Checking my watch I shut my laptop and grab my jacket before heading out the door. Im actually kind of excited for my first check up after the accident, because this time I know for sure that I will be delivering good news. My headaches have subsided and my back isn't as sore as it had been the first day after my release from the hospital.

A few minutes pass by of trying to maneuver my car around all the assholes who somehow managed to get their licenses when I finally pull into the hospital parking lot.

I hop out of my car and check my watch again before opening the door handle to the building, right on time. His last appointment must have just ended.

I looked up from my watch when I entered only to have my feet halt right in their place. Violet was walking down the hallway about twenty feet in front of me with her mom. She looked beautiful as ever even in her sweatshirt and leggings that she had worn to school today. As soon as our eyes connected I managed to re-connect my feet to my brain and started walking forward.

Its weird to think that it was only just this morning that we had done that lab together. She is so much like how I dreamed she was that its almost a tease, like the universe is saying "Oh what a shame, too bad she doesn't know you!" continuously in my face.

I'm extremely grateful though that she had volunteered me to be her partner because all feelings for her aside that would have been extremely awkward if I didn't have a lab partner.

I don't know what came over me, maybe it was the fact that she had been so kind to go up to me today to help me out, or maybe it was that I'm so tired of just living with the dream memories of her, but whatever the reason may be, as soon as we got to an acceptable distance apart from one another I opened my mouth,

"Hey...Violet" I said and prayed to God it didn't sound half as bad as it did in my head. Oh God she probably thinks Im just one of those guys who thinks a girl has a crush on them after they talked one time. What have I done now-

"Hey Conner, thanks again for helping me with the lab today" She breaks my thoughts with a...blush? Did I just make Violet Shoemaker blush? Good thing Im in a hospital because I might actually need to run some tests to see if hearts are supposed to beat this quickly.

"No problem!" I say back, trying to not sound too excited. She smiled back to me once more before leaving out the doors. I watch her through the glass for a second as I keep walking forward myself to only bump into the door into the lobby.

"Fuck" I spit as I rub my now throbbing head. Thank God this door isn't see through or else every single person in the lobby would have seen that.

I awkwardly open the door and try to suppress my grin as I walk into the waiting room.

"C'mon man, don't you have any other homework you could be doing?" Matt says to me over the phone but I just ignore him as I type away at the last page of my essay. I decided to end the essay with Violet and I curled up next to each other in bed. That was the last time she was responding to me during the dream so I figured that would be a good time to end it. Well that, and its thirty three pages now.

"I just finished it dude, now all I have to do is edit the shit out of it. Its probably all spelling and grammar mistakes. I literally didn't even give any of the words a second look." I laugh but I just hear him sigh on the other end, "This is due tomorrow Matt. I have to do it tonight." I further explain,

"Yeah yeah yeah, you just need to realize that I never want to hear you complain about a long essay that you have to write ever again." Matt laughs after he finishes and I join him,

"So how is Cassidy?" I ask him. Cass and Matt have been having a thing for the past year, shes a Freshman in college though so I guess that's why they never made anything official but who really knows.

"Great actually! She's preparing for a shit load of exams though, I feel really bad when she calls me because she just sounds exhausted. I told her that she didn't need to call me that often if it really meant that she had to force herself to stay up but she said she looked forward to calling me, which is fine with me!" He laughs and I smile for him,

"That's amazing dude, I still don't know why a genius college English major is wasting her time on a High School senior but.." I pause and hear Matt laughing on the other end. "nevertheless I am happy for you" I finish and mean it.

"Thanks man, how did your appointment today go? You all good now?" He asks me and I smile again at the memory of bumping into her,

"Yeah its all good, doc said I was fine. I bumped into Vi there."

"Really? Did you guys have the appointment at the same time or something?" he asks,

"No, she was just leaving as I was coming in, I said "Hi" and she thanked me for the help on the lab today, nothing too big but definitely made my day better." 

"Whipped" He spits, laughing,

"Says you mister "she looks forward to calling me every night" You're one to talk." I finish and we both just end up laughing.
