**Beep**
**Beep**
**Beep**
My head was pounding as the most irritating sound in the world was going off next to the left side of my head. **Beep** I growled as my hand went flying to turn off the alarm clock, I was going to murder whoever put this thing in my room. **Beep** my hand came in contact with a metal railing as my eyes shot open in shock of hitting a railing that should not have been there. **beep** the instant I opened my eyes; I squished the shut as fast as I could. All my windows must have been open because the light was so bright. **Beep** I growled as I tried to open my eye again, but failed as I covered my eyes. **Beep* as I growled louder
"I'm never drinking again" my entire body was in pain, head felt as if it had been split open by a metal pipe and I felt as if I was going to vomit.
"Annie!" I felt a soft hand grab my wrist with two fingers "Annie are you awake dear?" I growled and tried to roll over, but stopped as my wrist and legs felt as if they were being held down "Annie if you can hear me don't make fast movements" I opened my eyes to see a very freaked out looking Mary, but had to shut my eye's cause of the bright lights above me.
"Mary, it's too bright" I managed to grow out-load, as second later I heard the sound of blinds be closed above my head
I opened my eyes slowly to see that I was in a small light blue room that had two doors. There was a television mounted high up on the wall. **Beep** I turned my head to see a monitoring device that was making the reached beeping noise. **Beep** it was my heart rate and I jumped in panic as I turned my attention back to Mary that was pressing a button on the bed repetitive very fast. **Beep** the sound was getting faster as I my breathing started to pick up. I really hated being in hospital, doctor offices were fine, but not hospitals, just the thought that someone could have died in this room freaked me out to know end. **Beep** I tried to get up, but Mary pushes me down as I struggled.
"Annie I need you to calm down" as she looked to the door directly in front of me "I need some help in here" as he moved her hand to press a button.
"Mary what's going on" I tried to get out of her grasp, but she just held me down as the door opened and a man came running in.
"How long has she been awake" I blinked as I looked at the doctor's face it was John as he took a flashlight and shined it in my eyes.
"About a minute, I came in to check her vitals and she started growing and says it was too bright so I closed the windows"
"Annie my name is Dr. Aaron Johnson; do you know where you are?" I was confessed and glanced at Mary who was looking at me concerned "Annie, can you hear me? If you can hear me please answer the question"
"I... I.... In a hospital" I choked out, my mouth was very dry
"Good Annie," he smiled at me "do you remember how you got here?" I looked at him confused by the question
"Josh didn't Luke tell you what he did?" I was really tired and I didn't feel like being asked questions "Mary can you get me a glass of water, I'm so thirsty" they both looked at each other, then down at me.
"Annie, my name is Aaron Johnson, I have been your doctor for the last eight months" I looked at him confused
"What? I don't understand, I just meet you a few days ago." I looked to Mary "Tell him! Tell him what happened, he has lost his mind" I felt a hand on my shoulder holding be back, as Mary looks at me like I was going crazy.
"Annie," I looked over at Josh "this is your nurse Mary-Beth, my name is Aaron Johnson, we have taken care of you for the last eight months" I shook my head I didn't understand why he was telling me these lies "Annie, you were a car accident on your way home, eight months ago" he looked at me as tears started to fall down my face
"No, that's not what happened" I tried to move, but that was pointless "my birthday was eight days ago"
"Annie calm down, you broke your collarbone and it punctured your lung, your head also received a very hard blow which caused a lot of swelling in your drain." Josh said, calmly as I continued to struggle
"You're lying, why are you lying to me, you know what happened, I want to speak to Luke now!" I screamed at them as I tried to struggle against the restraints
"Annie, we have already called your parents to tell them you have awaken"
"No I don't want to speak to my parents, they're horrible people for selling me off to Luke and Max.", I said very angry "I want to speak to Luke, that bastard going to pay for putting me in the hospital"
"Mary-Beth can you get me a dosage of Thorazine to calm her down please" Josh said as she walked out of the room "Annie, I'm not sure who Luke is, but we will find him for you" Mary came back in "we're going to give you a sedative to calm you down, okay"
"No you will not! I want you to get Luke or Max in here now!" I screamed at him as the pushed a needle into my IV bag "Josh I was with you last night, why are you acting like this? I meet Susan your wife, you taught me how to dance and called me a bitch" A cold substance slowly started flowing into my vain and I tried to fight against the tube in my arm.
"Annie, my name is Aaron; I do not have a wife. Annie I need you to just calm down and let the medication relax you. When you wake up your family will be here and will talk more"
I was feeling tired, but it was not by my will, my body felt cold as I tried to struggle against the medication that was seeping into my veins. I was out within a few seconds and there was nothing I could do to fight it off, but give in to and wait for the drug to run it cores and leave my system. I remember as my eyes opened I felt so drizzly and so confessed to what is going on? I felt hands on my body before I was able to focus on the people face. It was my mother; she was standing crying her eyes out as I just looked her. My father stood behind her with a big smile on her face as Benny sat on the chair trying to see around them,
"Oh Annie, I am so glad you are awake, we've been worried sick about you every day" my mother said as tears poured down her face as she hugged me awkwardly, senses I was still restrained to the bed
"Mu... Mom..." I tried to say, but my throat was beyond dry
"What is it Annie, are you in pain, does anything hurt. Doctor!!" she screamed toward the open door
"Mom... I need a drink" Her faced turned from worried to surprise and started frantically waving her hands around as she went in search of water, my dad stayed beside me with a smile on his face
"How do you feel kid" I shrugged
"My head hurts, and these doctors are lying to me" he looked sad
"Annie, they're not lying to you" I shook my head in disagreement
"Yes they are you and mom accepted the money that Max brought with him and sold me off to Luke"
"Annie baby, Max has been gone for over ten years" he looked so sad and my father was not the man to show many emotions
"Dad, it happened I know it happened it was only a few days ago on my birthday"
"Annie your birthday was eight months age, you had a car accident on your way home from Joel's house sweetie" I shock my head in disagreement as my mother came back in with a water bottle followed by John or the doctor I guess
"It is good to see you awake again Annie, I just hope we are able to talk without the use sedation" he smiled and I glared at him, they were lying to me, I just had to trap them in their own game
"Doctor what is wrong with her why does she believe her birthday was days age and is saying impossible things" he nodded his head in agreement
"We believe Annie is suffering, PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder" he glanced down at me "Annie went through a very traumatic event, and sustained a lot of head injuries"
"We know all about that disorder, doctor is it going to go away, I mean she is going to remember what has happened and be normal" my father said a loud tone of voice
"Yes, sometimes this disorder is short lives and people go back to 'normal' shortly after symptoms appear, other times it takes longer, but I hold confidences Annie will pull thought this with flying colors" he smiled down at me
I stopped listening as I notice Ben sitting patiently in his chair holding a large paper in his hand smiling at me. He stood up and laid it on my legs as my parents walked out of the room leaving me alone with him. I knew Ben so sweet and innocent would not lie to me and would agree with me that they all were lying. He climbed up the bedside and was sitting on the edge grinning up at me with his cute little dimples that reminded me so much of Max.
"Annie I have missed you so much, I drew you a picture to make you feel better" he showed me the picture of my lying in the bed looking like I was sleeping with a very sad-looking Ben holding my hand standing next to me
"Benny, it's the most wonderful picture ever" he glowed at my words and hugged me that caused little pain
"I'm glad you woke up, Macy has not been around senses you went to sleep" he pouted "but you are awake and now Macy can come back"
"Where did Macy go Ben?" my moment
"Daddy said she had to go away, he said she won't be back for a long time"
"Did that bad old Max takes her away?" he looked at me confused
"Max our older brother? I thought mommy said he was dead?" he looked shocked "did Macy die!" he screamed and looked so sad, I didn't mean to make him upset
"No Macy not dead, but where did daddy say she went?"
"He said she had to go to big kid school in another state, and he saved a lot of money by you not going" I completely forgot that about college starting a few months after my birthday.
"Oh yeah I forgot, silly me" he smiled and jumped off the bed as a woman came into the followed by my parents
It was Mickey and I smiled, she had become a new friend to me a few hours before Luke attacked me. She didn't look like the same fun and wild girl that I had meat that was able to control Bobby. She looked older and so professional, it just wasn't her. My dad took Benny hand and walked out the room leaving me alone with Mickey and my mom.
"Annie this is Vanessa she is a therapist here in the hospital" my smile faded, as I shook my head "we think that it might be good for you to talk to her and she might be able to help you get your memory back" my mother said timidly as I nodded my head she turned and walked out the room.
"Hello Annie, my name is Vanessa, how you are feeling?" she was writing on a note pad as she spoke to me.
"I don't know, I wake up here to everyone telling me that I've been in a coma for months, but I wasn't, they sold me into an arrange marriage to my brother's friend Luke, who is a vampire prince" tears started to fall down my check "I was there for a week as I tried to leave and come back home because I didn't want that, had just gotten engaged to Luke the same day" I was crying herded at the thought of Joel "oh my god Joel, I want to speak to him can I speak to him Mickey" she continued writing as she shakes her head
"Annie, we need to speak first, then you may see your friends and family, but why do you call me Mickey?" I just shook my head
"Because that was your name, you were mates with Bobby who was Luke bodyguard and I met you last night at a poker party? We drank and laugh for hours with Susan. Don't you remember?"
"Annie, you obtained a head injury that caused your brain to swell for many months, and I believe during your time in the coma you heard the voices of everyone around you and your mind created a dream world to help you recovery" I shook my head no
"That's not what happened" I said crying
"It is Annie, would you like to hear what actually took place, feel it might help you remember if you learned the truth" I stared up at the ceiling as tears continued to fall, but nodded my head
"Well Annie, on your birthday you reportedly left a Macy house, a little before you were to meet at your then boyfriends house Joel" I interrupted her
"What do you mean by then boyfriend?" my heart fell
"Annie is the report correct to you?" I nodded "well ounces you arrived at his house, and this was an official statement from him and his family that saw the events" I nodded to push her flowered "he broke the news to you that he would be attending NYU summer program and started their full-time in the fall semester"
"No he was attending university in Seattle with me and Macy, you wrong" I yelled at her
"Annie, Joel was wait-listed than approve he is there as we speak attending classes, he could not deal with a long distance relationship so he broke up with you"
"No! He asked me to marry him! I said yes! He did not break up with me" I screamed
"Annie calm down else the doctor will sedate you again, and I would really like to finish what the report says again" I didn't even respond as she keep talking "after he broke the news to you, based on his family witness you became very upset and there was a lot of profanity that you yelled and stomped off got in your car and drove away"
"That's not what happened" I mumbled as tears fell down my face
"It is unfortunately; the report does not end there." She glanced down "based on the other drivers account you ran a stop sign, and was t-boned on the driver side causing your car to flip one in a half time" I looked at her in complete shock "the other driver obtained minor laceration, but no hospitalization" I felt little better that I didn't really hurt someone else "the young man was in EMT training and at the scene pulled your body from the wreckage" I watched her as she continued to read file of papers "he reported that you were cautions when he extracted you from the car and was screaming out for Max" she paused and glances at me "for him to help you, and then you passed out as emergency vehicles arrived, and carted you away. He is a town hero now because his action helped you survive by holing your head wound so you didn't bleed to death"
I sat there bawling my eyes out because I could not comprehend this. Max was still dead; Luke did not excite which made me cry for some strange reason. I couldn't be with Joel, Macy was off at school, and I've been stuck in a coma. All I could think is why did this happen to me, what I did that caused me to deserve all this. Mickey or I guess Vanessa held my hand as I just bawled my eyes out, tell I passed out.
