"She's alive but barely. I can feel a weak pulse. Call the hospital."

I'm alive. I think. My head is throbbing. Everything hurts.

I tried opening my eyes but it hurt too much so I just laid wherever I was. I felt myself being lifted up onto something and wheeled.

"Is she going to be alright?" I heard a woman say.

"We can't say ma'am."

I know that voice. But I can't place it.

"Get in. You can ride with us."

I heard sirens and figured it out. I'm in an ambulance. That means I'm alive!

I used all my strength and opened my eyes. I was staring at a paramedic and someone was sitting next to me. They were holding my hand but I couldn't see it was because the paramedic person was blocking my view. All I know is the their hand was soft and warm in my own.

"She's awake." the paramedic scream at his partner who is driving. He looked at me next.
"Ma'am can you tell us your name?"

I was blank for a second but then I managed to all but whisper out "Freya Adams."

"Good. How old are you?"

"18."

"Okay can we call your parents? You're legally an adult, you do not need then ma'am."

I immediately went into a panic and started shaking my head no. He seemed to understand because he told me to calm down.
"Is there anyone you'd like us to call for you? A friend?"

I shook my head no again. My head started feeling heavy and my eyes closed.

"Hey Freya stay with us..." I heard him say before everything faded into black.

I don't know how long everything was dark. I do know that I woke up in a hospital. I've been awake for a few minutes and no one's noticed. Probably because I'm alone. How lovely. Sense the sarcasm? But it's better this way, being alone that is. It spares others from being inconvenienced and burdened my me.

I stared out the bare window. The bright light hurting my eyes seeing as I was unconscious for who knows how long. They should really put curtains up on the damn window.

Suddenly I heard the door open and I looked to see a nurse walk in. She looked shocked to see me awake because she nearly dropped what was in her hand.

She walked over to me and smiled.
"Ms Adams. You're awake. Let me get the doctor."

Before I could get a word out, she was gone quicker than she came. A few minutes later someone came in along with the nurse.

"Freya Adams. I'm Dr Josephine Locke. I am one of your doctors. Do you know where you are?" the young doctor said looking at me and smiling. Why do these people smile so much?

"Uh hi. Yea I'm in the hospital I take it." I said looking at her. I shifted up a little so I wasn't laying down but sitting up so I could see her better.

"Good do you know why you're here?" her hand moved on a tablet she held. It had a cover with an emblem in it, looked medical from where I was.

"Yes." obviously I knew.

She nodded and typed something before putting the tablet down and looking at me.

"Why am I still alive? I thought would have died." morbid I know but it was a question burning in the back of my head. Why am I alive?
