I'm open my eyes, hardly. I feel weak. I feel like I am bound to this strange thing i'm laying on. I don't know where I am. I see white walls, and a clear one. I try to move my head to the side. Why am I in a hospital? And why can't I hear anything? What is happening? Why are the nurses rushing in? I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't worry about me I'm fine. Let me be.

God, don't you get annoyed when people are so annoying? The nurses and doctors are checking my vitals. Like almost constantly. ZZZZAAAPP! W-what was that? That hurt. I said leave me alone. I'm FINE. ZZZZAAAPP! STOP! That hurts! My body feels nonexistent and W-oah. I see myself. What? What the hell?

My mom is crying, my dad is in tears and on the floor holding my hand. A-am I dead? I don't want to be dead. I'm a good person. I'm a good daughter with everything ahead of me. My internship, college, and my boyfriend. Where is my boyfriend? Why is he not here? If I'm dead, he should be here right? I read the doctors lips, and he has pronounced me dead. I'm not supposed to die now, wh-at happened? I don't remember... I can't remember. Please help me, someone.
Someone help me.
