     My eyes flutter opened.  I was immediately blinded by the bright light.  Groaning I closed my eyes tightly.

     “Hey, you are awake.”  Someone called from beside me.  I tried to open my eyes slowly before fully adjusting my gaze to the bright light and my eyes fell on Adrian who was towards my right sitting on a chair near the bed, I was in.  I slowly moved my gaze towards the room and it took in the surroundings.  I could strongly smell disinfectants around me.  I was in a hospital.

     “Here have this.”  He said while handing me two pills and got up from the chair and poured me some water from the stand near my bed.  And added “I will call the nurse to check up on you again.” He said while smiling.

     He actually smiled at me?  I thought after today he would be my arch-enemy.  After few minutes he came in with a petite woman behind him assuming she is the nurse, I sat up straight in the bed.  But I immediately regretted my decision, my head started pounding insanely, I let out a huge groan because of the sudden inflict of pain.  The nurse was immediately by my side and checked me.  She flashed a torch straight at my eyes and I immediately flinched.

     “You hit your head pretty hard.  But I guess you only got a mild concussion.  I will give you some more pain killers and you have to take rest for minimum of two days and don’t stand under the sun for two long.  If you have constant pain in your head even after two days you can come again and let yourself be checked.”  She said and left the room leaving Adrian and me alone again.

     “Are you feeling ok now?”  He asked his voice thick with concern.  I nodded my head.  There were a few minutes of awkward silence between us. 

     “Shall I drop you?”  He asked and again I nodded feeling extremely uneasy around him even after I knew who he was.  But I heavily doubted he even remembered me.  I got up from the bed slowly without irritating my head.  Once I gathered all my belongings with the pills, we made our way towards the parking lot.

      Once I was in the safety of his car, he turned on the heat and the radio started humming softly.  I told him I lived in the dorm so he was slowly revving his car towards the direction of my dorm.  I kept looking outside the window and we just stopped for few minutes because of the traffic.  He kept drumming his fingers against the steering wheel.  Even the mild sound of constant drumming was like noise blasting in my head.  I didn’t know how to tell him politely to stop it considering the sentence I kept playing in my mind was very rude.  I didn’t want to offend him considering he helped me this much.  So, I moved my left hand towards his fingers and I placed my hand on top his firmly to stop his action.  His head shot up to my hands on his and he snapped his eyes towards mine too quick to notice.  I shook my head and pointed my other free hand to my head.  He understood what I tried to mimic to him, he quickly mumbled a sorry and I retreated my hand from his. 

     “Adrian.”  He said suddenly causing my head to snap up to his, we were still stuck in the traffic.

      “My name.  Yours?”  He asked.

     “Amelia.”  I said without even thinking.  I shouldn’t have said my real name.  Shit.  I cursed internally.

   “Your last name?”  He asked in a surprised tone.

    I knew he will find out if I tell him my last name.  Because he was half way through to complete the puzzle.  I raked my brain for a possible last name.  I knew if I take longer the possibilities of him finding out was not far away.  So, I blurted out the first name which came to my mind.

     “Wilson.  Amelia Wilson.”  Wow, I definitely know how to lie.  But what bothered me so much was why did my mind directly went to Zach’s last name and second of all why the hell did it fit perfectly with my first name.
