"Bailee!"
The name seemed to echo throughout the hospital.
My heart pounded in my head.
"You've killed your girlfriend!" My brain screamed at me.
I was panting. I glanced at the clock. It was four o'clock in the morning. My mind raced. We had left the restaurant at ten-thirty. I had been out for nearly six hours. I snapped back to reality.
"Bailee. Bailee!"
I didn't even realize that I was sweating. I tried to scream, but my throat was scratchy.
"Bailee." I croaked.
This time, I mustered up enough energy to cry out, "Bailee!"
A nurse with blonde hair rushed in. Hair like Bailee's.
Her nametag read, "Samantha".
"He's awake." Samantha called into the hallway, then whipped out a stethoscope.
She listened to my heartbeat until a doctor with blonde hair also walked in.
Hair like Bailee's.
"I'm Doctor Monroe." He held out his hand to shake.
I nodded, being too tired to lift my hand up.
He checked my eyes and said, "You'll be fine, Mr. Pierce."
I mustered enough energy to ask, "Bailee. Where's Bailee?"
Doctor Monroe frowned. "Come again?"
"Bailee Simmons. She was in the car with me." I struggled speaking the words.
Doctor Monroe and Samantha looked at each other.
"Well?" I asked.
Doctor Monroe chuckled nervously. Samantha gave me a sad smile.
I had enough of it.
"She's my girlfriend, okay?" I hollered. "She was supposed to be my fiancée, before everything went... wrong."
I swallowed hard.
"Please just tell me whether she's okay or not." I pleaded.
Samantha looked at Doctor Monroe.
"He deserves to know." Doctor Monroe whispered.
"Know what?" I cried.
Doctor Monroe took a deep breath and said, "It appears as if Miss Simmons has fallen into a coma."
"What?!"
