This is a sneak peak to one of my newest storys. I'm putting it here for
now so people will hear about it faster! Look out for more!
Erica stared around the empty room. The machines that were keeping her alive were beeping, and forcing air and medicine into her body. Her vision was blurred as she tried to make out where she was. She closed her eyes and let them swell up with tears. She couldn't remember anything. Nothing about why she was there or why she was attached to all these machines. She heard foot steps enter the room and people talking behind a curtain. A man approached her and fiddled with a few buttons on a heart monitor.
He looked down at her and spoke softly. "Erica, can you hear me?"
Erica opened her eyes slightly and nodded.
"Good. My name is Dr.Rhine. I'm the doctor that saved you after your accident." He said putting a hand on the bed.
Erica was confused. She didn't know what he ment. 'I was in an accident...?' She thought.
Dr.Rhine walked over to the curtain and guestured for the people behind it to step forward. A group of men and women walked into the room. Some of them were in tears and others had to turn their heads. Erica figured they must know her. A woman stepped forward and grabbed Erica's hand. She began to speak, but tears filled her eyes and she turned away.
A man, about 21, 22, walked to the bed and kneeled down next to her. "Erica, my love... Can you hear me?"
Erica looked over and nodded again. She didn't know who he was, but he seemed to know her well.
The doctor looked around the room and picked up his charts. "I'll let you guys visit for a while. I'll come back with some more information about her condition." With that he walked out of the room.
Erica turned her head as best as she could with the constricting neck brace holding her head in place. She knew something happened to her but she couldn't remember anything, or anyone. Erica looked at the man still at the side of the bed. She didn't understand how these people knew her.
Everyone was speachless for a minute then one woman stepped forward. "Erica, it's me. Lindsay." She looked like she had been up half the night with her friends in the hospital waiting for her to regain conciousness. "Do you remember me?" She asked looking down at Erica.
Erica shook her head as best as she could and looked at Lindsay with a very confused expression.
Lindsay bit her lip and turned her head to cry on the shoulder of another woman. This one had black hair and also looked very tired.
Lindsay looked at the woman with black hair and turned away. "Stef, maybe you should talk to her."
Stefanie looked at Erica and began to speak. "It's me." She stopped and looked at Lindsay again. "It's Stefanie. Do you remember me...?"
Erica closed her eyes and began to cry as she shook her head.
Stefanie nodded. "Thats what I thought." Stefanie looked at the man kneeling by the the bed. "Donavon, get up. She doesn't know who we are."
Donavon glared at her and held onto Erica's hand. "She will remember us. She just needs some time." Donavon looked at Erica with sad eyes.
The rest of the people in the room began to cry as they knew the friend they once knew was never going to be the same again.
Erica thought to herself as she heard and saw the people cry, 'Who's Erica?'
