When you think of the word car crash.. most people would probably think something along the lines of drunk drivers, reckless, driving, stupidity, broken limbs, blood, death, crashing to your doom. When my mothers car that I had taken for a joy ride was spinning out of control making me feel like I was on some amusement park ride and flying off a wooden bridge I thought the same thing.. boy was I wrong was I ever... for me.. crashing my car meant something totally different from being flung into a river into my demise.. for me it meant being flung into a river and blacking out only to wake up in the 1960's thats49 years in the past 37 years before I was even born. I shouldn't have even been driving the stupid thing but I was slightly buzzed and wanted pissed at my from the drinks I had stolen from my mother while we were up camping to get back at her for screaming at me I felt completely stupid after thoygh I wasn't sure why or how this happened all I knew is I had no clue how to get back at the time and I was stuck in the past.. little did I know that getting stuck in the past would be the greatest and worst thing to ever happen to me...
I sat up on the hospital bed I had been here for three straight day's ever since they had found me on the side of the river bed unconscious the doctors still asking the same questions they did when I had first woken up me to afraid to tell them the truth. they'd think I was crazy and shove me in some padded white room. I mean who would believe a 15 almost 16 year old girl if she said she was from the future and got here from some time paradox from crashing her mothers S.U.V off a cliff while trying avoid hitting a beaver of all things. No one hell if I didn't know it was the truth I'd think I was a drug addict or something it's even how I felt. In the Three day's I had been stuck on hospital bed rest I had found out I was found washed up on a river bank I had cuts and bruises but nothing broken or seriously damaged I had no ID on me or anything else that it was July 1964 and I had some how not only managed to go back to the past I ended up In Tulsa Oklahoma. Which considering I was born and Raised in Canada and that's were I had my accident I thought was a little strange I also found out because I had no one to take care of me I was going to be placed in a foster family and that I really could not stand hospital food from this time It was basicly amazing jello and the worlds nasty smelling and looked slop it looked like a baby had puked it up. As for the Doctors what they had found out about me was I was found on a river bank unconscious I had nothing horribly wrong with me my name was Logan and I was disoriented also that there was no reports of any missing persons they also found out how much I really didn't like needles. I had also had a room mate for a short period of time the boy' had alcohol poisoning from a three day drinking binge .he told me all about the town and how the kids here were spilt up between lower and upper class the Greasers and the Socs the Soc's were stuck up rich kids that drove fancy cars lived in big houses flaunted her money and got away with everything were Greasers were the lower class that were loyal and stuck together came from barley nothing and got in trouble for everything. that was a lot different from my time zone, I mean we had rich kids and poor kids as well as ones that got away with everything and ones that caused trouble but we had a class for everything not just two classes money mattered but not as much as it did here things were more basted on your looks and interests and if you had more then one you could almost choose were you wanted to go but not always sometimes you just got stuck in a place. But now I would be placed in a group with out a say with out a choice Id be judge by my looks and money not who I was .
The nurse came in with a tray of food interrupting my train of thought she was the same nurse I had every day she was a bigger lady with bright red hair and freckles she looked like she could be Mrs. Weasley from Harry potter it always made me giggle I sat up slowly my gown itchy me all over I couldn't stand it I was starting to go insane from the itching
"can I please get out of this hospital dress its itchy" I begged scratching my self
"Mr and Mrs Reeves are bringing you some clothes" she said smiling she was always smiling it was kinda creepy I never knew anyone who could be that happy all the danm time she put my food down on my table still smiling and walked away/ I looked at the food it was basically baby vomit that made me gag from the smell of it then jello I took the spoon and opened then jello it was all I had been eating in the three day's I had been here I sat on the bed slowly eating it staring at the wall there wasn't anything to do in this hospital no Tv no books no nothing it was just a room i felt like I was going more insane I finished my jello putting the empty container back on the tray then I slowly and carefully stood up and putting a hand on the IV stand my legs were sore from my crash but nothing to bad I pushed My IV around walking around my room stretching my legs out a little till now I never knew what true boredom was I'd give anything to here a crackly voice teacher lecture about some old dude no one even cared about at this moment I didnt care I was going stir crazy in this room I just wanted out I groaned to my self thinking about how good fresh air would smell instead of the stale hospital air soon the door opened Mr and Mrs Reeves came in they were a nice older couple who had kids that were all grown up and off to collage and starting family's
"how are you feeling Logan?" asked Mrs Reeves
"I'm fine thank you" I said smiling
"I still can't believe that's your name" said Mr Reeves I giggled a bit at that I always found it funny him and almost everyone I had my name to wasn't very used to Logan as a girls name back then well I guess I should saw now Logan was a boy's name so it was strange to them I found it funny since I was so used to it Mrs. Reeves handed me a dress and told me to go change while they signed my release paper's so I could finally leave this place.I had never in my life felt so much excitement over something so small as being released from a hospital. I walked into the bathroom it was small bright white hand a shower and toilet and small sink with a mirror over it I walked up to the mirror I looked like a mess My skin was paler then usual I looked like the walking dead I had dark bags under my eye's from the lack of sleep my dark auburn hair matted in a curly puffy mess mangled onto of my head my lips dry chapped and flaky I managed to slip out of the gown with out ripping my Iv out which made me rather happy I had already ripped it out once it was someone the worst and most uncomfortable pain I had ever felt I ever so carefully slipped on the dress Mrs. Reeves had given me bright white cotton with splashes of vivid floral throughout. had scooped neckline trimmed in a bright tangerine my eye twitched as I stared at my self in the mirror I felt and looked ridicules in my mind wearing a dress on a daily bases was not something I only ever worse them in the summer or for an occasion or holiday never had I worn one that was bright white with bright colours I very rarely even wore white unless it was my white skinny jeans I sighed I knew I had no choice but to wear it this was the style now a days for most girls .hopefully they would take me shopping so I wasn't stuck with something so un like me and that made me feel even more off then I already was I tried to fix my hair trying to pull my fingers threw it and flatten it a bit but it didn't work it had gotten to far out of control and was mess It reminded me of a poodle I gave up sighing I ran the water and splashed it on my face I turned the water off and left the bathroom Just as I walked out the nurse came up to me a huge grin upon her face and unhooked me from the Iv it felt a little weird and stung a but but I sighed and flexed my fingers moving my arm around It felt so good to have that thing of and be able to move my arm freely she put a cotton ball on it and wrapped medical tape around it I smiled at her she smiled back cheerfully and patted my shoulder taking the Iv stand and walking out of the room
"that's so much better" I said dragging the so out Mr. And Mrs Reeves gave out a chuckle
"well let's go we have some shopping to do before we take you home I'm sure there lots of things you need like hair brush, shampoo, Make-up,shoes, clothes" said Mrs Reeves listing things off I smiled she put her hand on my back still listing more and more thing and we left the hospital I was excited to shop which was rare I wasn't a huge fan of clothes shopping maybe it was because my mom always put my style down and didn't like the same things I liked but with Mr's Reeves it was different she was sportive and loving it made me happy .
