I awake to the sound of a heart monitor beeping as it does in holby city which makes me wonder where I actually am. I don't know what to do or what to say but all I know is I am no longer at my audition. Suddenly a very cautious looking nurse enters the room staring at me wondering how I'm awake.
"So you must be Jade then."
Well um who else would I be. God I thought nurses were 'meant' to be smart.
"Uh yeah I am."
She sort of looked at me like I was an idiot but I actually don't care.
"So what happened to me?" The nurse started to search for a answer to tell me without overwhelming me too fast.
"You um hit your head in a audition and you have suffered severe brain damage. Sorry you had to find out like this." Wait find out what. What is she talking about oh damn this can't be good.
"Can I just get out of here and dance again?" I replied like that because she must of thought I was a baby but no not any more can't she just tell me what this means for my dancing career please.
She looked at me with guilt in her eyes and then she just jumped out and said...
"You won't be able to dance again because of the brain damage. You might be able to walk but it is unlikely you can dance ever again."
Inside I sort of just froze. I cannot believe the rubbish coming out of that gob can she actually be being serious? Shortly after my mum and dad walk in with a teddy bigger than me and a giant balloon saying "get well soon" which actually makes me feel even worse than I did before. "Hi love how are you?" My mum sort of said it as if she knew exactly how I felt but didn't want to make me feel even worse than I did before. "Alright I guess."
