I want to ask, but the words don't come. My mother steps forward, her face softened by relief as she leans down to kiss my cheek. "Honey. You're awake. Thank goodness. We were so worried when you didn't wake up." She breathed and more questions flooded my mind. Why wouldn't I wake up? "Mom?" I attempt to speak, but it comes out as nothing more than a ragged croak.
"Oh, sweetheart, it's okay. You're okay!" She lightly brushes my hair from my forehead, before holding my hand, the one that's not strapped to my chest in a sling.
I try again to say something-anything that would assure them I'm fine. But nothing makes it past my lips. My throat feels like sandpaper, scratchy and raw.
My mother must see my struggle because she offers reassurance, "You've had a tube in your throat for a few days and the doctor said you would have a little difficulty in talking after they moved it.

The sterile smell of antiseptic mixes with a faint hint of flowers. What the hell can't I remember how I ended up here? I remember everything, vividly.

the entire room suddenly freezes, turning to look at me. Concern was plastered on everyone's face. My cheeks flushed on their own, what NO was missing "Why are you looking atlike that? What happened? Did I go for a run and fall?" Josh's eyes widened and I watched him take a deep breath and look at my mother before looking back at me.
My father walked over and sat down on the bed as my mother wiped away all tears. Something bad happened, ht must have to have them fly all the way from Europe. If my mother can't look atthen maybe I shouldn't know. My father leaned in to kisson the forehead be it madegroan as new pain traveled through my body. Everything felt stiff.
"We thought we might lose you," he says softly, a touch of fear breaking through his smile. I blinked up at him trying to put puzzle pieces together just as the door to my room flings open. "You are awake!" Tom smiles atholding a bunch of flowers.
