I opened my eyes and saw white. A lot of white. And a really bright light, that was again, white. ‘Is this heaven? Heaven smells a lot like saline solution.’ I looked down and saw that I was in a hospital gown and lying in a bed. ‘Phew, not heaven.’ I noticed that my arm was in a cast and I had bruises all over my hands. I also noticed that it hurt to breathe, a lot. I surveyed my arm and realized it was broken. ‘Well that’s gonna hurt in the morning. Wait, it is morning. How is it morning? Where the hell am I?’ It was at this point I decided to look around.

Ashley was sitting in a chair to my right, fast asleep. She looked so cute. Actually she looked like she hadn’t slept in days. Still cute though. To my left was a window and oh look, it’s light outside. And the sky is very blue. Oh and there’s a bird sitting on that tree. It’s such a pretty bird. Woah okay why am I talking about a bird? I looked back over at Ashley. I wanted to talk to her, so I could figure out what was going on. But I couldn’t seem to sit up very well. I looked up and saw they had three different bags going into my IV. One of those is probably some pain killer of sorts. I hate pain killers. I hate hospitals. The last time I was in a hospital was in third grade. I was riding my bike and went face first into a ditch. They brought me to the hospital because my helmet had snapped in half. I only had a mild concussion though. But it was still really scary.

Anyway, back to how I can get Ashley awake. But she looks so cute sleeping. Oh here’s a nurse coming in.

“Miss Carlin, you’re awake.” Well no dip Sherlock. “How are you feeling?” Like I got run over by a truck?

“I’m ok. Can someone tell me what’s going on?” The nurse checked the clipboard at the end of my bed then looked up at me.

“You were in a car accident three days ago.” What?!?
