Chapter 3
Her head was hurting, she felt that she was having the worst hangover in all her life, but slowly she began to remember that she hadn't drink anything, she had instead used drugs again.
"How could I been so stupid?"
She asked herself, and then she realized the weir sounds around her, as her senses began to pick up more sounds, she noticed that she had something in her arm, so she decided to open her eyes.
Michiru was just going inside the ICU to check on her patient when she realized that she was finally waking up. Knowing that her patient could get scared and feel nervous, she moved quickly to her side, just in time to see Serena open her eyes.
"It's okay, don't be scare" she told Serena.
"Where am I?" she was really disoriented
"You're on the hospital, in the ICU. Do you remember what happened?" Michiru asked.
"I was on a train, and then I don't remember anything else"
Serena lied, she remembered all too well what had happened, what she'd done, she just didn't want to talk about it.
"You suffered an overdose four days ago. Someone found you in the train and called 911. The paramedics saved you and then they brought you here to the hospital; once here I treated you. Your body was having a severe reaction to the cocaine"
As Michiru explained everything, Serena realized how far she had gone, she couldn't keep doing this, run away from her problems by using drugs was not an option, and after all this time, all she had been through, she should know better.
"What's your name?"
Michiru had been wondering that for days, after her patient had been brought to the ICU, one of the nurses went through the personal belongings, but she hadn't found any ID, so until now, she had been simply Jane Doe.
"I'm…my…name is…Sabrina"
Why she'd done it she didn't know, but it seemed like the right thing to do, it felt like the best option too.
One the things that had caused her problems most of her life was her name, people knowing who she was everywhere she went, not having any privacy or liberty had been one of the mayor problems since she was a teen. And right then she had the opportunity to leave all that behind, so she decided to take it.
"When can I leave?" Serena wasn't going to risk being found out.
"In a few days if everything is okay. Do you have a place to go?"
Michiru was worried; she didn't want to let her leave without having a place to go.
"Yes, I was on my way to visit some friends when it…" she was ashamed of what she had done, she knew better than to do drugs.
"When you gave yourself an overdose, would it okay if I ask why you did it"
Serena thought about it for a moment and she decided that this doctor seemed as someone she could trust.
"I needed to get away. I…didn't know what else to do" It had been a long time since she had been this honest with someone she didn't really know. "What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, where are my modals. I'm Dr. Coby Michiru" As she had learn since was little, having been raise in Japan, she bow down to complete the traditional way of introducing herlsef.
"Nice to meet you Doctor Coby. May I ask something?"
"Sure" Michiru told her.
"Where are my clothes and my bag?" she didn't wish to be naked except for the hospital gown she was wearing.
"Don't worry, all your personal belongings are in a bag under the bed. I know how uncomfortable you must feel, but once you are transfer to a normal room you can dress with a pajama if you have one here"
"And when am I exactly going to be moved to a normal room?"
Serena was anxious, the sooner she could leave the hospital the better.
"The head doctor of the ICU would be here to see you in about" She checked her watch before answering "An hour , maybe a little bit more, he'll check you'll okay and if everything is alright then you will be moved to another room in the morning. Now I suggest you rest, you need your strength to recover. I'll see you tomorrow, have a good night"
Before Serena could object or complain Michiru was gone, leaving her with no other option but to wait for another doctor to clear her to be able to leave the ICU, and she kept wondering have long would she had to stay in the hospital.
