I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA.
Two Months later
Alex's P.O.V.
The first thing I notice when I wake up is that everything sounds muted. Like I can hear things, but it sounds as if I am under water. I also realize that I can't remember my own name, or how old I am, or anything about my life. It scares me that I can't remember anything, like I've lost a part of myself.
I open my eyes and see three people peering down at me. Two women and a man. I frown up at them; who are they? I see their mouths moving but their voices are muted.
"What?" I ask. I can feel my mouth moving, but I barely hear the words come out. This scares me more than anything, because without the ability to hear I feel helpless. One woman whose black hair is cut into a pageboy speaks again, presumably louder as I can make out the words "honey" and "feeling", but other than that I don't hear a word. I frown deeply. "What?" I'm so confused right now as to who I am and who these people are and how I got here. I start hyperventilating and start to sit up. It's only then do I notice the needle in my arm, placed on my forearm, near the inside of my elbow. I rip the needle out, crying out in pain as the metal slides out of my raw skin; and I see a drop of blood poke out from where the needle once was. I try getting out of my bed, but I saw the other woman call for someone and two tall men immediately come into the room and manage to get me back on the bed. A second later I feel a sharp pinch, and then everything goes black.
When I wake up again, I'm alone in the white room; and the needle is no longer in my arm. I sigh and rub the crust out of my eyes. I feel exhausted even though all I've done is sleep; I guess going crazy on everyone takes a lot out of someone. It's at that moment that I become aware of the dryness of my throat, it's getting to become uncomfortable. I look around, but don't spot a pitcher that could contain drinkable liquid, but I spot a wooded door that I take to be the bathroom. I hope the water here is clean, but then again I don't really care. I slowly pull the blankets back and sit up, fully aware of my stiff limbs. I get to my feet, then immediately fall to the floor. My legs seem weak from lack of use, which makes me question how long I was here for.
I manage to get to my feet again, and am smart enough to hold onto something as I make my way to the door. After what feels like forever, I get to the door and fling it open. It is a bathroom, which seems startlingly bare, with nothing but a toilet, shower, a sink and a mirror. When I look into the mirror, I see myself for the first time. I seem very skinny, with light brown skin, black hair that goes down to my butt, and light brown colored eyes. I try to imagine the name that goes with my face. Maybe Kelly, or Jessica, or Lilly? I don't know, but I hate not knowing my own name. Anyway, I go to the sink, turn on the tap and bring my lips to the faucet, sucking up about a gallon on water.
As I'm drying my face off, the hospital room door opens and seven people walk in. Three of the people I recognize from the last time I was awake, but the other four people are total strangers. When they walk in and see that I'm not in the bed I can see the worry in their faces. I walk over to them and when they sense me coming, they turn around and relief floods their faces. The woman starts talking, but of course I can't hear her so I just stand there like an idiot, trying to figure out what I should do. The doctor, I'm assuming she's a doctor, pulls something from a bag she's carrying, a white board and a black erasable marker. She then writes something on it and turns it around for me to see. "Do you know who we are, Alexandra?" it says. So that's my name, Alexandra; I'm probably called Alex for short. She then erases the words and hands me the board and marker. I look at it for a second before writing the word "No" on it and turning it around for them to see. I can see the disappointment on their faces instantly.
She takes the board back erases it, and writes something else on it, turning it back around. "I'm Dr. Wilson, I'm the one who has been taking care of you these last two months." I'm frozen for an instant. I've been sleeping for two months? What have I missed? Dr. Wilson helps me over to the bed and I sit down. From there, the people are able to piece together some of the puzzle pieces that are missing from my memory. My full name is Alexandra Marie Cameron, Alex for short; I was born on February 14th, 1993 in a small town called La Push, Washington; and I'm currently sixteen years old. My parent's names are Timothy and Jean Cameron and I have three siblings; two older brothers named Jared, who is nineteen, and Justin, who is seventeen years old, a little less than a year younger than me; and I have a younger sister named Leona, who is thirteen years old. I also learn that, in the fall, I will be a junior in high school, and I have three best friends named Julie, Cam, and Tami.
Leona also tells me that the reason why I'm in the hospital is because both her and I were in a car accident two months ago. We were headed home after I picked her up from school, and I started to go after stopping at a stoplight when a drunk driver ran a red light and plowed straight into us. His car hit our car on my side, so I took most of the damage and got two broken arms, a broken leg, internal bleeding, bruised ribs, and some head damage, hence the memory and hearing loss.
It's hard to cope with at first. The thought that I will have to use hearing aids for the rest of my life. Mom says that having to wear hearing aids is nothing to be ashamed of, that a lot of people have to get them in order to hear. I try to stay strong and not cry, for them. It's weird how close I feel to them. I mean, sure they're my parents, but I don't remember them, so they're more like strangers to me. But, in a way, I feel as if I can trust them. Let's hope that I'm not wrong.
A/N: What did you guys think? So I'm officially a senior in high school, which is crazy to think that I'll be graduating in a year. If you're in school, what grade will you guys be going in to? Please review!
