Annie’s POV The first thing I heard was the beeping.Slow, steady, and unnatural.Then came the smell of antiseptic, cold metal, and something faintly floral beneath it. My eyelids felt heavy, glued together, but I forced them open. The ceiling above me was white and sterile.My throat burned when I tried to swallow. My head pulsed, like someone was driving nails through the inside of my skull. I didn't know where I was, or why my body felt like it had been broken and stitched back together.A woman in blue scrubs appeared at the foot of my bed, her face kind but weary. "Miss," she said softly "you made it." Made it? The words sounded strange, as though they belonged to someone else.She noticed the confusion etched on my face."You were in an accident," she continued."You've been unconscious for two days."My brain stumbled, trying to gather the scattered pieces: hotel lights, rain, a sharp turn, and a scream that might've been mine. Andthen nothing."You made it," she repeated.
