I blinked several times as i tried to make my eyes adjust to the bright light burning my retinas."Doctor, he's awake" i heard my mother speak, doctor? I'm in a hospital? But how...oh yeah....the accident.
It's all coming back to me now, i was with my girlfriend Violet in my convertible, we had just returned from a party and i remember stopping at the traffic lights, this guy driving...was it porche? I dont know...but i remember him challenging me to race until the next light....and i did then thats when the truck appeared....dear God....
"Mr Yearnings?" I hear my last name called, i blink and i see a face hovering above mine, its a female face, she looks in her mid thirties....she must be my doctor...ow my arm.
"How are you feeling?" She asks smiling, how could she smile infront of someone who just been in an accident.
"I'm a little sore, especially my right arm" i said, it really hurts, please don't tell me its broken. I hear my mother choke out a sob, her hand covering her mouth...was it that bad? Was i paralyzed or something? I wiggle my toes under the white sheet, everything seems to be fine though.
"I'm sorry but, when you arrived here, your arm experienced severe nerve damage so we had not choice...."
No...this cant be what I'm thinking right.
"But to amputate" she answers my thoughts, my heart drops to my stomach, it cant be.
"I have a pain in my right arm though, are you really saying...."i trailed off, my mother is a crying mess at this point, the doctors looks at me sadly.
"It's what we call phantom pains, I'm truly sorry" she said and she headed out of the room. My mother stands by my side as i traced my left arm to the spot where my right arm is supposed to be....its empty....i go up trying to find my elbow and nothing, they completely took off my whole arm, A tear rolled down my cheeks.
"Its okay honey, you just need time to adjust" my mother said...adjust? To what exactly?
"Get out"
"W-what?"
"GET OUT!" I screamed at her, my face covered with tears and probably a lot of snot.
🥀🥀🥀🥀 5 MONTHS LATER 🥀🥀🥀🥀
"....ve"
".....ave"
"Dave!"
I snapped out of my thoughts as i looked at the person calling me.
"Hmm?"
He looks at me with those eyes, the eyes that are full of nothing but pity and sympathy.
"Are you okay?", he asked...i nod at him and continue eating my fries, i had to relearn alot of things these past few months, learn how to write again, how to hold a fork, a spoon and a cup. School has been a nightmare, when i returned it was full of sympathy and comfort then the next month it started...the name calling, I've been called captian lefty, people making jokes that i took my arm to the dry cleaning and lost the receipt and thats why i wear long sleeved shirts and hoodies, that way they cant see the part i always hated about my new body, the little thumb stub forming out my shoulder, it looks animalistic and weird and i prefer to keep it covered.
"I heard Violet is coming back next week" my friend Sebastian says, Violet and i broke up when she found out i had no arm, she was lucky as she had a broken leg and a broken rib, i also heard the porche guy died on the spot, real unfortunate.
"Okay" i say finishing my fries, my friends and i well....we're not like before, they have things to do and well I'm just here, some dont even talk to me anymore it's just me and my friend Sebastian, i think he'll soon leave too.
