Where am I?
“”
I woke up from the pain in my head. I felt like someone threw a hammer on my head and someone is spinning the bed. I opened my eyes and everything was blurry around me.
I heard beeping and small chattering.
When everything was clear, I looked around me.
Where am I? I thought.
“Vanessa, you are awake!” a lady said. I stared at her before I
remember who she was. Mrs. Cohen.
Than, a hand squeezed my hand. I looked at the person who
squeezed my hand. Jason.
“How do you feel?” Mrs. Cohen asked me. I turned back to her
and opened my mouth to speak, but nothing can out.
She snapped her finger and a maiden came in, bring a cup of
water. She pushed it on my lips and I hungrily drank it.
Than, she asked again, “How do you feel now, honey?”
I forced my voice out and said, “My head hurts.” I put my hands
on my head and it hurts like crazy. I was feeling dizzy too.
“Oh, you got stitches on your head, do you remember?” Mrs.
Cohen said. I pushed my eyebrows together.
“Do you remember anything from last week?” Jason asked and
squeezed my hand.
I pulled my hands away said, “Last week?”
“Yeah,”
“No, what happen?” I asked.
I thought hard and tried to remember what happen last week.
Jason looked at Mrs. Cohen.
I tilted my head and thought even harder, trying to ignore the
hammering pain. Than, everything came – what happened. I shivered.
“That was last week?” I asked.
“Yeah.”
Than I asked, “Where am I?”
“We are in the city’s best hospital.” Mrs. Cohen said and grinned.
“Does my family know about this?” I blurted.
Mrs. Cohen frowned and said, “No,”
My parents probably think I am perfectly fine, right now.
I shook my head, Why would I be thinking about them, when they
made me do this?
“Can I be excused, I am very tired and I want to rest.” I asked.
“Sure honey,” Mrs. Cohen said right away and she walked to the door.
“Sleep tight. Ring the bell if you need me.” she said and walked out the door.
I stared at the ceiling and blinked for a few moment.
Why wouldn’t the pain go away?
I asked. I massaged my temple, but it hard every second I
touched it. I laid there on the bed, just staring at the ceiling before my eyelids dropped.
~~
The next time I woke up feeling like my head was bang on the
wall a thousand of times.
I could feel the world spinning and my heart beat fast for no
reason.
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep . . . beep, beep . . . beep, beep
I focused my eyes to open, but the brightness of the world was
too bright, so I closed my eyes again. I opened them again, trying to
let my eyes adjust. It was bright, morning. I squinted at the window,
which I could hardly see, because my head hurts everytime I move.
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep . . . beep, beep
I angled my eye so I could look around the room. The room had a
lot more machine than last time.
My head spun again. I felt like I want to pull out all of the wires to
stop the beep’s. It was annoying and it was making my head spin more.
Than I heard footsteps coming and soft whispering outside in the hallway.
I angled my eyes to look at the door and it was 100% closed. I
didn’t know how I could hear all of the whispering, but
I just could. It just came to me like it was natural.
“- was weird. Honey, she was acting up 3 days ago. She started
growing her long nails.” a high pitched voice said and I knew it was Mrs. Cohen’s voice.
“Did you locked the door and kept this room safe? You know
other people can’t see this, especially the nurses.” another voice
said, I knew it was Jason’s.
“Yes, everything is under control, let’s check on her.” said Mrs.
Cohen. The door clicked open and it review Mrs. Cohen and Jason.
Jason looked like he had never slept for ages. He got big bags
under his eyes and his eyes looked dull and it looks like it wants to
sleep. Mrs. Cohen on the other hand, looked like Miss Sunshine.
“Ahh, Vanessa, how’s everything?” Mrs. Cohen said and sat
beside to grab a cup of water for me. She pushed it to my lips and I
drank thirstily. I pulled away when I was done and she put it down.
She made the bed to a sitting pose.
I looked at down at my finger nails and knew that they were
talking about me.
Did I acted up and my nails grew longer???? I thought and
swallowed.
“Vanessa, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at your nail like full
of disgust? Your nails are beautiful.” Mrs. Cohen asked and gently
took my hand and patted it.
“Was I the one that you guys were talking about?” I asked. Mrs.
Cohen stared at me for a moment.
“What do you mean, honey?” Mrs. Cohen asked and put a smile
on her face. I could tell it is a fake smile.
“You were talking about me in the hallway, didn’t you?” I asked.
Mrs. Cohen turned pale and said, “You heard everything?”
I nodded and asked, “I was the one acting up??? And I was the
one growing long nails?”
” . . . Yes.” Mrs. Cohen said, “Because right now you are a full
werewolf. You have gone through the steps; acting up, growing
longer nails, growing you canines and having silver eyes.”
“Silver eyes?” I asked.
Mrs. Cohen nodded and she quickly rambled through her purse
and grabbed a mirror. She showed me her mirror and I stared at my
reflection. She wasn’t lying, I do have silver eyes, but they quickly went away.
“And because of the result, you concussion is healed. It wasn’t
major, good thing we could save you just in time before anything
serious happens.” Mrs. Cohen said.
“Dad also said that you could be leaving soon. You could spend
one more day in the hospital or you could leave in an hour, ones they
did all of the extra check – up.” Jason said and looked like he was about to yawn.
“Wait, before you do anything, here. Here, eat these medicines. I
know your head still hurts right now. Just eat it and it would be fine.”
Mrs. Cohen said. I shoved the pill in my mouth; I would do anything
to get rid of the pain. I threw a bucket of water in my mouth and I instantly felt better.
I deeply breath in and my mind clearly. I never felt so good in a long time.
“One question, how long was I in the hospital?”
“For about 1 month and a half.” Mrs. Cohen said.
I was about to make a reaction, but instead I asked, “Can I leave today?”
I wanted to get away from all of the ping’s and beep’s.
“Sure, I would tell them to do your leaving check – up.” Mrs.
Cohen said.
“I’ll do.” Jason said and walked out of the room.
Mrs. Cohen giggled, “You don’t know how much he wants you
wake and snuggle next to up.”
I blushed like the reddest tomatoes on Earth. I wanted to protest
that we don’t sleep together, when she interrupted me.
“Boy, you should see him. When we told him to go home, he
couldn’t stand to leave the building. What he did all day was drink
coffee and staring at you.”
I blushed even harder. This lady wouldn’t stop making me blush.
“He hardly even slept, he only slept for -”
“Mom, the doctor is here for the check – up.” Jason came back
and I studied him for a while. His does look super tired. He looked
like an old man this week.
The doctor did all of the check – up and in the next hour, we were in the limo.
I sat in the car, just thinking.
It’s good to have someone always by your side when you don’t
know what’s going on . . . . even if you don’t love him
Was that selfish? I asked myself.
The next thing I knew, a head plopped on my shoulder. I looked
down and saw Jason. I was about to shove his head off of my
shoulder, When I though of everything he did for me. I decided to do
something in return and I let him stay.
I studied him for a moment; since I have never seemed him sleep before.
I can see his blonde hair was a little out of place and my nose
was so close to his hair that I could smell the fainted shampoo and
the fainted hint of cologne from him. I blushed and being so close to
him was making me dizzy. I wanted to look away, but my brain
wouldn’t follow. My eyes could see his golden eyelashes, so long
and beautiful, from here. I could see them tangled up and I blushed
even harder. His nose was perfectly straight and his tan skin was like
a kiss from the sun. He was flawless even when he has bags under
his eyes. His mouth was slightly opened and I could hear his heavy
breaths. His fingertips slipped from his side and dropped onto my bare arm.
My chest muscle tightened and my breath quickened as I feel the
tingling sensation from his skin.
When we pulled in front of the house, I shoved him lightly, but he
wouldn’t wake up so I slapped him. He immediately woke up and rubbed his eyes.
“We’re there.” I said, looking away and got out the car without waiting for him.
I ran inside the house and looked around.
“Is there anything I can get you Ms. Cohen?” one of the maiden asked.
“Ms. Cohen?” I asked. The maid nodded and I sighed.
“Do you want a meal?” The maid asked and I realized how
hungry I would. I nodded and the maid quickly scurried away. I walked to the second floor – to my bedroom – and changed outfit. I
went down the stairs to see if my meal is ready and it is. I dug into my food hungrily.
I LOVE FOOD!!! I said and smiled to myself.
When I finished eating, I eat the silver pill and I immediately felt
sleepily. I went upstairs and changed into my PJ, when I saw Jason
was already asleep on the couch. I threw myself on the bed and
when I was warm, I fell asleep instantly.
