The Notebook of Hope

7

Lizzie ran out of Josie's room and rushed in to her mother's office.

Doctor Josette Parker was talking to a patient when her daughter burst in her office making both of them jump up from their seats.

"Lizzie, why on earth are you barging in without knocking the door"

Without a word and the look on her daughter face she knew that it was about Josie.

"Oh my god, it's Josie"

The blond just nodded her head and ran out again.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry Mrs. Stivens but I have to re schedule our meeting"

She ran out her office passed her secretary.

"Jackie please show Mrs. Stivens out and book a new appointment, I need to see my daughter"

The lady was escorted out from the doctors office and was pretty mad for the intrusion that led it to cut the meeting short.

"Oh what kind of doctor just runs out of a meeting when a girl just burst in and scares me like that" the older woman bitterly says.

Jackie looked at her with a blank face.

"A doctor who's daughter has been unconscious for days and still trying to keep calm and take care of others while battling her own pain inside. Here is your next appointment, have a nice day Mrs. Stivens"

The older woman was speechless and just stared at the secretary. She downs the realization of what the younger woman said to her. Without a word she just nodded her head in understanding and walked out.

When Josette entered the room she noticed that her daughter was awake.

"Josie, my baby you finally woke up" she ran to be by her side and held in a hug. Tears of joy was running down her face as she noticed that the brunette haven't said anything and the two other girls were quiet.

"Josie" she whispered and looked into her eyes.

"Are you okey? is something wrong?"

The girl in the bed just looked at this woman who gave her a hug and was happy for her to be awake. She knew that she somehow knows this doctor that was sitting beside her but she just didn't know who she was.

A minute of silence the door opened once again and this time two older men was in the same room. Happy to see her as they approached her bed, both of them seemed to have been crying of happiness.

The doctor blocked their way to stop them to get closer to the girl and the two men noticed that something is wrong so they stopped.

The doctor once again turned to face the brunette.

"Sweetheart I'm gonna ask you some questions, okey?" She whispered and the brunette just nodded her head in agreement.

"Okey.. so what's the last thing you remember?"

The brunette took her time, trying to remember what she knows.

"I.. I was hit.. on my head and there's a little boy.. Pedro.. he looked scared" she whispered.

"Good.. atleast you remembered Pedro" the doctor smiled.

"Do you remember your name or how old you are?"

The girl looked down on her bed sheets.

"I.. I guess my name is Josie since that's what you been calling me and I don't know how old I am"

The doctor nodded her head.

"Do you know who those people are?" She guesterd the people in the room.
