I wake up in a strange place with people circling around me waiting paticently hoping I wake up, I now know I'm in the hospital people just don't understand that I've been through things like this before. People can be very over sensitive at times like these, especially my mother.
I sat up and looked at all the people around me either sleeping or day dreaming because they don't notice me until I cough and clear my throat.
"Somebody get a doctor." my mother said rushing over to the side of the bed. "They said you wouldnt wake up for awhile. I hoped that wasnt true so I asked if we could wait, I knew my daughter was fighting."
I looked around the room once more taking in all the features before turing to my mom "Where's Charles." dead, watched my mothers face turn from a loving mother to a dreading parent. I could sense something was wrong with the question, I needed to know what happened. Is he dead, am I the only one who woke up?
