Mia's pov

Bright light filled the room, burning my eyes.

I slowly fluttered them open but shut them tightly closed when the light hit them only causing my head to throb.

I tried one more time to open my eyes and once I had opened them, my blurry vision then becomes clear and adjusts to the light.

I become aware of my surroundings and this didn't look like my bedroom.

I was in a white room, a big open window to my right.

The room smelt of cleaning supplies.

I looked around. I could also hear a beeping sound on a machine that stood beside the bed I laid in.

I looked to my left and saw a figure sat in a chair beside the bed.

The figure sits up and takes my hand in theirs.

"Mia...thank God you're awake." The voice sounds distant but familiar.

I try to speak but my throat is dry.

The person notices my struggle and gets up to get me a cup of water from the water tank across the room.

He gets nearer to hand me the cup and Ivan comes into my view.

I sit up a little and my neck cramps when I do so. I gulp down the cool water feeling an instant relief.

Ivan takes the cup from me and places it on the bedside table.

He sits down in his chair.

"Where am I?" I croak out.

"You're in a hospital room? How are you feeling?"

"Hospital? What happened?"

He frowns, "You don't remember?"

I shake my head, "No...no I don't. Is my dad here?"

"He left a couple of hours ago, he needed to go to work."

I lay my head back down onto the pillow, looking up at the ceiling trying to remember what had happened.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asks me after a short silence.

"I feel fine, I just have a slight headache. Can you tell me what happened to me?"

"Mia, you were out for like three days."

My eyebrows shoot up in shock, "Three days?"

"Yeah...three days." He repeats.

"Where's Emilio?" I ask.

"At home. He only visited you like once."

"And Boggi?"

Ivan shakes his head slightly, "After what happened, he just completely shut down. He's been distant ever since."

I shut my eyes closed, "God...I was hoping it was just all a dream."

"I'm really sorry about what happened."

"It's okay. Don't apologize for something you didn't do." I give him a tight smile.

The door then opens and a doctor pokes his head in the room.

"Knock knock." He walks in wearing a white lab coat and held a sheet board and pen in his hands.

"Miss Jansen, it's good to see you're up." The doctor says as he checks the monitors and writes down a few things on the note pad.

"Sit up for me." He says and I slowly do so with the help of Ivan.

"Thank you..." I mutter.

"Follow my finger." The doctor shines a light in my eyes.

"Vitals seems good. You in any pain?"

I shake my head, "No, just a slight headache."

He writes down a few more notes.

"Doctor, can you tell me what happened to me?" I ask.

He places the board under his arm and pushes his reading glasses on the top of his head.

"Loss of memory is normal, it will come back in no time, but Miss Jansen...you overdosed on plus minus 50 sleeping medication pills." I look at him in shock.

"We thought we almost lost you there for a second but just like a miracle, your heart kicked in just like that and you've been in a three day coma." He continues.

"Thank you, doctor..."

"No, thank this young man for being by your side since then." He points over at Ivan.

I look back at Ivan and I see a small smile on his lips, a pink tint covering his cheeks.

The doctor leaves the room.

"You stayed with me?" I ask in disbelief.

"I knew you would get better soon and I wanted to be here when you wake up...so here I am."

Without warning I throw myself onto him, giving him a big hug.

"Thank you..." I utter.
