Begin Again

Chapter 22

Selena’s POV:

Knowing my daughter was safe was a huge relief—but knowing I was out of it for a few days wasn’t. I knew Kaylie was worried about me—shit I know everyone was worried about me; whether I would wake up or not.

Waking up made my head feel a lot of pain, and knowing I couldn’t remember Justin’s name made me sort of upset, but as soon as he said his name, my brain started working again, and the memories started flooding back—even painful ones.

In my mind, I knew I was driving for some reason, I just can’t remember why. All I can remember was that I was mad and frustrated at something—or someone.

I looked around my room, and noticed it was drowning with flowers and stuffed bears, and balloons. Luckily my room was huge—my parents must have gotten me a private room. It was big enough to fit at least 10 people. I know that would come in handy knowing all the people that will come visit me.

The doctor talked to me just a few more minutes before walking out, leaving me time to think. He told me not to over think, or my head will explode.

I kept trying to remember what happened that night of the car crash—and why in the hell I was dreaming Justin told me we could finally have a family like I’ve always wanted.

I heard two knocks on the door and Justin came back in with a smile on his face and my parents and Kaylie followed in behind him.

“Mommy!” My beautiful daughter squealed; seeing her face, and seeing her physically was enough to make my entire day.

“Hey baby girl.” I smiled.

My dad helped Kaylie onto the bed with me, making sure she didn’t mess with any of the wires and she cuddled up to my side.

“I missed you mommy.” She sniffled.

“I missed you too baby.” I smiled kissing the top of your head.

“You were hibernating too long. I’m glad you’re done now.” She said looking up at me. I chuckled at her. I mean, I rather her think I was hibernating than almost dead any day.

“We all missed you honey.” My mom stated.

I looked over to my parents and they looked like they were about to cry and I shook my head.

“Please don’t cry.” I said. “I’m awake and fine ok? If you cry you know I’ll cry.” I added on and both my mom and dad nodded their heads.

Both my parents came over to give me a quick kiss on the forehead before another knock came on the door, and Pattie came inside with Gracie and Jazzy.

“SELLY!” Gracie said using my nick-name she used to use when she was younger, and sometimes use now.

“Hey Grace.” I smiled. I gave her a hug and a kiss best to my ability while lying in bed, and did the same to Pattie and Jazzy.

“I’m glad you’re okay Selena. We really missed you.” Jazzy smiled.

“I missed ya’ll too.” I smiled. “Where’s Demi?” I asked, wondering where my bestfriend was. To be honest I thought she would be the first one here—before my parents and Justin both.

“She’s on her way; she just had to run a quick errand.” My mom smiled and I nodded my head.

“Mommy, guess what!” Kaylie smiled and I looked down at her asking her what she was so jumpy about.

“I talked to Mace, and he said he wants you to call him once you’re done hibernating. He said it’s very important.” Kaylie said emphasizing the word ‘important’.
