Cold. That's all I felt, cold. I was expecting to feel a lot of pain. Like excruciating pain that consumed every part of you, but I didn't.

Despite the coldness, I felt quite peaceful. I had a perfect view of the stars and moon.

I always loved the moon.

She always came back at the end of every day. Whether it was a good day or a bad one, I could always count on the moon to be there. Same with the stars. They were always there.

I like to believe that when we die, we become stars.

I hope I'm a pretty star.

It was getting hard to breathe.

You would think that when someone is about to die, they look back on their life with happiness and feel joy about the life they lived.

I don't.

I can't help but feel like I didn't get a chance to live at all. My whole life consisted of me working my ass off in school to get good grades so I could become a doctor and make my parents proud.

Now as I lay here, about to die, I can't help but think about what my life would have been like if I lived for myself and not my parents.

Regret was now coursing through me as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

At least now I'll get to be with the moon.

When I opened my eyes I was met with a blinding white light.

Am I dead?

I slowly blinked my eyes, getting accustomed to my new surroundings. I groaned as I regained feeling in my body.

Why am I still feeling pain if I'm in heaven? Peaceful my ass.

"Oh good, you're awake," an unfamiliar voice spoke.

I looked around, trying to see where the voice came from. That's when I realized I was in a hospital room. I spotted the person next to my bed.

He had brown curly hair and emerald green eyes. He seemed to have an accent of some of sort, British, I think. He gave me a small smile as he looked down at the phone in his hand and quickly typed something.

"What happened," I questioned. My voice came out dry and raspy. The man reached to my bedside table and grabbed a cup. He gently placed his hand behind my head and lifted it so I could wrap my lips around the straw coming out of the cup. My throat instantly felt better as the cool water made its way down.

"You were in an accident. A car crash actually." His voice was smooth as he spoke. My eyes widened at his words.

A car crash?

"How come I don't remember anything?" I questioned.

"The doctor said you hit your head really hard which caused you to have a concussion. Said it's not uncommon to suffer from amnesia as well."

Makes sense.

"Was anyone else hurt?" I questioned, my heart beat started to grow quicker as I waited for his answer.

"The other driver has a few cuts and bruises, nothing to major," he answered. I sighed a breath of relief. The man chuckled. 

The door slid open and a nurse entered with a tray in her hands.

"Your vitals are great," she commented, "are you having any pain?"

"Yeah, a little."

"I'll give you some medication that should help," she smiled.

"Thank you." 

I looked at the man as the nurse picked up the syringe from the tray and injected it into my IV. I found myself really looking at him. He was beautiful. He seemed to have this glow to him. The way he moved was almost angelic. I quickly looked away as the nurse put the empty syringe on a tray.

"What's your name?" I spoke to the man.

As soon as the words left my lips, he grinned. He picked up his jacket that was draped over one of the chairs in the corner. Right before he left he turned back to me, with the grin still on his lips.

"I would like to think you already know."

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as my eyes started to close due to the pain medication.

How in the world would I already know?
