It smells like medicine when I take a sniff. What am I doing?When I open my eyes, the first thing that strikes me is the white ceiling. My heart rate begins to increase once more. Is it true that I'm in the hospital? Am I going to die? It takes me a long to realise I'm fine. I raised my head and looked about. The room was painted white and blue, and there was an IV station near my bed from which I was receiving glucose.I couldn't move my hand when I tried to sit straight by resting it on the bed for support. Why couldn't I get it to move, and why does it feel so heavy? My right hand had a cast on it when I glanced at it. What became of my hand? My head hurt when I attempted to recall. My brain felt like it was filled with cotton, and my body was numb. It takes me a while to recall when I lost the use of my hands. My fingertips were tingling with pins and needles. They moved stiffly, and the way they shook indicated that I couldn't feel anything else."Amelia, when did you wake up?" M
Amelia's p.o.v;I was finally released from the hospital and returned home today. It seemed like nirvana as I was laying in my bed. No longer did I have to listen to that awful doctor's voice and advice, it felt good to be back at home. My mind wandered over the events of last week…"You had only been gone from the house for a week." Ash commented on me after helping me to lay on my bed."Even though it's a week, I really missed this place." And attempted to roll over, but remembered my cast hand and pouted my lips."You're going to loathe it soon," he joked."Why do you say it that way?""Because you'll be at home for another two months.""You're wrong. It's not two months. There is only one month left. The doctor indicated I may return to college in a month.""Oh, you're serious? I think you didn't know it yet.""About what?""Mom will inform you on her own. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so wait for it, sister. And, remember that you have a cast on your hand so be careful." And
Amelia's p.o.v;My alarm went off, and I awoke. To turn off the alarm, I searched for the phone where I hit my hand on the bed. I suddenly remembered my right hand's cast. Sh*t! I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the next two months. I sat straight and searched for the phone on the bed again. Since I'm going to be at home, I switched off the alarm and altered the settings. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. When did I sleep the night before? Did I sleep at all last night, or was this some sort of weird dream? I wasn't really sure how to feel about this whole situation. I had a pretty good idea why it was happening but that didn't mean I wanted to have an experience with it. I took a look around the room.Andrew performed admirably last night. It lulled me to sleep. Wait, I should remember this from last night because a lot happened. He consented to assist me with my book, played music for me, and assisted me in falling asleep. Things that I had assumed would never happen with hi
Amelia's p.o.v;After Two weeks of working with Andrew on my book every night,"AMELIA! GET UP!" Ash yelled in my ears to wake me up, but I feigned not to hear him by covering my ears."AMELIA!" he exclaimed again.I couldn't take it any longer and awoke, asking, "What do you want?""I've got a game today, come with me.""Don't make me laugh! How will I come with this hand? Are you teasing me? And why should I come with you?""Come with me, it'll be fun.""Do you believe our parents will let me accompany you?""I'll assist you slip out," he said after a moment's contemplation."What?""Yes, I'll assist you in sneaking out. Come along and watch me play.""OK, why are you so stubborn? Are you going to play a prank on me?""No. I didn't.""Even if I come with you, won't you leave me alone and go with your friends?""Let's deal with it later. First, take a shower and change into something good. You're reeking of sweat." And exited the room.After he left, I sniffed myself to know if he's r
In the hospital,"Doctor, how is the state of my hand? Is it healed?" While the nurse was putting a splint on my elbow and forearm, I inquired.The doctor answered, "After observing your hand, it appears that you have given it continual movement. That's why it took longer than it should have to heal..."Yes, a lot has happened. I couldn't stay at home after finding out my brother had a girlfriend.Mom inquired of the doctor, "Doctor, can she go to college? She's been bugging me all day to send her to college. Will everything be fine?""You are free to send her to college. Her hand is recovering well.""Then why do I need a splint?" I inquired."Because there are some tissues that still need to be healed."I grumbled and told Mom, "Mom! You must have heard him. I can go to college now, therefore you can cancel the leave extension."When we arrived at the house,"Why didn't you come to the hospital?" I inquired of my father.Dad, "I would have gone to the hospital, but my boss gave me an
At house, While i was eating my food at the dining room table,Dad asked me, "Did you pack your bag with everything you needed?"I said, "Yes sir. I packed it as soon as I got up." I looked up and answered him with my mouth full of food. "What time did you wake up then?" he asked again.It took me a second to remember why dad would have this question. It's probably because he thinks that I don't like to leave home for school. "Seven o'clock,""Please, take caution with every step you take.""Yes, dad.""If you're uncomfortable in college, don't be afraid to call me.""Yes, dad.""And…"Mom intervened and said to him, "Let her eat right away. Later, you can speak with her."Dad nodded his head and continued eating the food on his plate.He whispered to me, "You'd better not forget anything."Mom, "You appear gorgeous today. Did something good happen?""Nah, just a movie I watched last night.""Guess you liked it very much since you're grinning all day."I carried on eating while refl
Amelia's p.o.v;At home,Andrew knocked on my window, but I had already secured it from inside, so he wouldn't come in. I covered my head with the blanket and pretended to sleep. I eventually stopped hearing raps on the window after a while. I believe he gave up and left.Why is he entering my room right now? Does he wish to witness my pain? After seeing Andrew with his girlfriend in the music club, I have avoided him since then. I am aware that this is not the appropriate response given that, to him, I do not appear to be a friend. How am I supposed to suddenly change my opinion of him? Please don't approach me right now. Atleast, give me some time. It would be simple for me to move on from him if it were just a secret crush, but I love him. No, I won't confess my love anymore to him. I shouldn't be like this in front of him. He is no longer my unrequited love.I grabbed my phone and erased all of his photos from the gallery which I took secretly. I'm giving up my feelings towards you
Amelia's p.o.v;I saw Andrew and his girlfriend as I was leaving the college. I made an effort to get away from them by entering another way, but Andrew saw me and called my name. Damn!I approached him and gave him a phoney smile as I did so."Hi!"Andrew inquired me, "Hey! I've heard you left the music club. Why did you do it? What happened?""I joined the club to study the guitar, but now that I've learnt it better than before, I can't see any reason to continue, therefore I've left the club.""Senior Jacob also said exactly that to me. Why don't you give joining the club another thought?"His girlfriend spoke to him in his ears as he was asking me.Andrew pointed at his girlfriend and stated, "I forgot to introduce you both. She's Cathy. Catherine. My girlfriend." I answered, "Yeah, I heard that from the club," as I nodded.I gave her a handshake and introduced myself "Oh, and I'm Amelia. I'm glad to have met you."She stated, "Greetings to you as well. You appear lovely. I like y
