Obsessed

Imagine waking up from a coma and you wonder what happened? Where did all of this happen? How did all of this happen, why did this happen to me? You are so confused, but little do you know it wasn't an accident.

Brakes squealing

CRASH!!!!!!!!

People running.

"CALL THE POLICE"

"WE HAVE TO HELP THEM, THERE IS SMOKE AND WE NEED TO GET THEM OUT BEFORE IT CATCHES FIRE OR SOMETHING."

"This is so bad, what do we do? The guy and the lady are out of the windshield, oh my gosh this so so bad, I have never seen anything like this before."

"See if anyone is in the vehicle and check to see if they are breathing."

"The lady isn't breathing"

"Neither is the guy"

"Wait there is a young lady in the back seat"

"SOMEONE HELP ME"

"What about the young lady, is she okay?"

"She is breathing but it is faint''

"Ambulance is on there way"

Sirens are going crazy, there's an ambulance, firetruck and police, people are standing around wondering what has happened, what went wrong and how did this happen? How did 1 car lose control like this? This poor girl.

"everyone back up and give us some room"

Officer: "Who seen what happened tonight?"

The officer was trying to figure it out and see what had happened. No one seen the accident all they heard was a loud bang and crash and seen a car smoking in a ditch and ran to help. The older lady and the guy were through the windshield and there was a young girl trapped in the back, we didn't want to move them just to be safe.

They try to figure out what happened but no one seen anything, maybe they lost control of the car or hit a patch of gravel, something had to of happened. There was tire marks all over the road so maybe they lost control of the vehicle or hit some gravel and then tried to stop. This poor girl lost her mom and dad tonight.

The young girl was transported to the nearest hospital. The police wanted to question her so they checked the following morning to see if she was awake and they told them she was in a coma and they don't know for how long. It could be months, years, days, hours. We just don't know how long.

Months go by and nothing changes, no one knows anything so they are just ruling it has an accident. No one knows when she is going to wake up.

They tried to reach out to family members but couldn't. Out of no where a gentlemen came running in the hospital saying his name was mike and that was his sister that was killed in that accident and that his niece is in the hospital. Her name is brittany down and she is 17.

"Someone please tell me if my niece is okay."

"Sir please calm down, let me get the doctor for you."

"Ok thank you."

Mike starts walking in a panic and freaking out, the doctor comes up to him and tells him that she is in a coma and he doesn't know how long she is going to be in one. He asked to see her and they said he could.

He walks in to her room "brittany I am so sorry!" This was never supposed to happen to you, I am so sorry."

He doesn't seem to be to shaken up about losing his sister or brother in law. The nurses and doctors find it strange how often he sees her but they think nothing of it because he says he is her uncle.

Weeks go by and still no change. Mike still visits her everyday.

months go by and still no change, his visits slow down but he still comes to see her. The police stopped checking to see if she had woken up after they ruled it as a terrible fatal accident killing 2. New articles were everywhere.

Mike comes to visit and brings flowers for her everyday, he talks to her as if he has an obsession. Is he really her uncle?

You wake up with no family, wheres my mom? Where's my dad? What happened? All I hear is some guy talking to me telling me he never meant for this to happen, he never meant for anything of this to happen. I am unconscious wondering what happened to me and how can I hear everything going on around me. I am freaking out and don't know how to handle this.

What am I talking about I am in a coma right now and don't know what is going on around me. I hear the nurses talking saying "wheres this girls family?" "poor thing doesn't know she doesn't have a mom and dad anymore." How are we going to tell her this when she wakes up?" "Is she even going to wake up?"

Of course I will wake up, I can hear you guys, I hope you know that! Just wake up Brittany. Wake up!

Days go by and this strange man still comes in to see me but I don't know who he is or where he is from.

"Did he do this to me?"

"If I wake up am I going to remember any of this?"

"Who is he?"

All I can here him say is you shouldn't have been in that car, all I want is you, no one else can have you but me." I tried to make that happen, you were supposed to be with your friends or at home! Why did you have to get in the car with them that night, WHY! Please wake up, its been so long and I need you, you are mine for the rest of your life, you have no one else but me and that is how it should have been!

Betty: Sorry sir visiting hours are over.

"I was just leaving"

Who is this guy and what did he do to me and my parents? Just wake up brittany! I am so scared to wake up and not remember any of this!

I don't recognize his voice at all, I don't know how long I have been in this coma, just wake up!!

How is all of this happening to me? How come I feel like I am awake but I am not actually awake? I do not understand this at all. Why did this have to happen to me? Someone please help me!

Days go by and nothing changes. All of a sudden I am awake and I am confused. What happened to me? I start to freak out and take out my IV. The nurse comes in and she can't calm me down. I eventually realize I am awake and I am out of my coma.

What happened to me?

The nurse replied "you were in a terrible car crash, it put you in a coma"

For how long?

"5 years"

WHAT? I"VE BEEN IN A COMA FOR 5 YEARS??? How is this even possible? How did this happen? Who can I talk to?

The nurse tells me I need to get some rest and they need to run some test.

I've been resting for 5 years, I think I am done resting, now please go get my parents, call them, do something!

The nurses look at each other and then I realized they were the ones talking to each other saying how are we going to tell her that her parents died in the accident.

"Were my parents with me in the accident?"

The nurse replied yes, sweetie they were.

"They died didn't they?" I heard voices when I was in a coma and heard you guys talking about my parents." How did the accident happen?

I am so sorry, we weren't thinking and that was unprofessional for us to do. I am so sorry. All I know was it was an accident, It was just you and your parents. No other cars were involved and you guys hit a tree.

"I was hearing this guy talk while I was in a coma, do you know who he is or who comes to visit me?"

Ah, the strange man. Yes he says he was your uncle and that you didn't have any other family besides him.

" I didn't recognize his voice, maybe its because I was in a coma for 6 years, I don't know. Are you able to get a hold of him?"

The nurse said she can try but he comes and goes at night time. I can' believe this happened and we hit a tree. I don't have my parents and I don't know what else to do? Do I have any friends? I didn't even know how old I was, The nurse said I was 17 when I came in here. So that means I am 22. All these years have gone by and my life is gone in a blink of an eye.

The nurse comes in and tells me they got a hold of "mike" which I guess that is what his name was, I don't recall having an uncle named mike, but maybe I got some memory loss, I don't know. But she said he was coming down. I am so nervous and scared because to me he is a stranger, everyone is a stranger to me at this point.

The doctors and nurses do some testing and a ct scan to make sure everything looks ok. They said that I was not supposed to wake up and that I am lucky to be alive. I honestly wished I wasn't because I lost my parents that day/night.

Mike comes in and I was so scared because I didn't know who he was, he didn't look familiar to me at all but I didn't let it show because it could just be the fact I was gone for 6 years. My memory if blank and I can't remember anything.

"How are you brittany?

"Im ok giving the circumstances. I guess I am here."

"I thought I was going to lose you forever"

"Well I am here."

"Im so sorry about your parents. Michelle was a good sister and mother. To bad for timothy as well, I am so sorry."

"Can we not talk about my parents please?" I already have a lot on my mind about whats going on, I don't want to think about my parents."

"Sorry sweetie, I just miss my sister. Its been 5 years. I know this all seems unreal and crazy to you, I know this is a lot to take in. They are going to keep you here for a couple more days to make sure all the testing comes back ok and that your health is good as well. Then I will take you home."

"Where is home, I don't feel like I know you enough or well enough. I have been in here for 5 years and this has been my home. I don't know you enough, I don't know anyone at this point. I don't even know my nurses and I have been here for 5 years."

Now brittany, I would never lie to you about any of this. This is hard for you and I understand because its been 5 years and your brain and your mind is all over the place and I understand that.

I don't remember anything or anyone and I have never been so scared to leave a hospital and go home with a stranger. At least to me he is a stranger. When will I get my memory back? When will all of this go back to normal? When will anything go back to normal?

I ask him to leave and told him I would like to get some rest because to much is going on at once. I can put everything in my brain at once, there is to much going on.

"Ok dear I will go but if you need me just have the nurse call me and I will be here. I am never leaving your side again. Everything is going to be ok. We will figure this all out. Try and get some rest and I will be back, goodnight."

He says everything will be ok and that everything is going to go back to normal but will it? Will everything be ok? Will everything go back to normal? I don't think so. I don't even feel like I know him and I have to go home with a stranger in a couple of days.

How can I go from being in a coma to all of a sudden waking up wondering what happened?

Nurse comes in "How are you feeling"

I have been better I think. I mean its been 5 years so I don't really know how to feel right now. I don't even know my own birthday at this point. There is just to much going on right now and I just want to sleep. I can't handle all of this right now, can I wake up and tomorrow everything will be back to normal?

"I am sorry sweetie, I know this is hard and I can't imagine everything that you are going through. I can't tell you that I have been in your shoes but I can tell you that if you put your mind to it that you will get past this and go on with the rest of your life."

Thank you betty I appreciate it. I am going to get some rest.

As the night goes on, I try to get some sleep. I try to take my mind off of everything and let it all go but something just doesn't feel right to me. I toss and turn all night and wonder what my life would have been like if I had never been in that accident, would i be married and have kids? Would I have a boyfriend and own my own house? What could it have been. I lay awake through out the night and wonder why me? Why did this have to be me and my parents. How did I survive and my parents didn't. I wish they were here to help me through this. To help me better understand how it happened. It just doesn't make sense to me how we were the only car on the rode and we lost control and hit a tree. My parents were never bad drivers, my dad always kept up with the maintenance and everything. How could this have happened? Maybe I should try and get some rest, tomorrow is a new day.

Tomorrow comes and betty comes in and checks on me before her shift is over. She tells me the labs came back good and so did the CT Scan. But they will want to keep me for a few days as a precaution just in case something happens. That is fine though because I am not ready to go to a strange house with mike, I know he says he is my uncle but I don't remember him at all, my dad never said I had an uncle but maybe I should ask him when he comes back. It can't hurt to be safe, maybe him and my father never got along. Who knows but I will find out.

"Nurse can you call mike for me and see if he is able to come for a visit, I want to ask him some questions."

"Of course I can"

How can I say it without being rude you know? Should I just straight come out and say "hey why did my dad not tell me about you?" Or is it because I was in a coma I don't remember you? I don't know something just seems off, I wish I could remember everything else that had happened while I was in a coma but of course some things I won't remember and that is not a shock.

Betty: Alright dear he is on his way and I am leaving but I will be back tonight and I will check on you, Enjoy your day sweetie."

Thank you so much betty.

I have to have help showering and getting around till my body is able to walk again. I have been in a coma for so long I forgot how to walk. The nurse comes in and takes me to physical therapy to regain my strength and learn how to walk again. It's very hard but I can do this, I know that I can. It has only been 2 days since I have been awake so I know it will take time and mike will have to take me to physical therapy and also help me at home so I can learn to walk again.

"Hey sweetie, said Mike" "How are you feeling?"

"Its another day but I am here, I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Whats wrong"

" I don't mean this is the wrong way or a bad way, but I don't remember you or remembering having an uncle, I know I have been in a coma but I would still remember you, I would think. "

"Well sweetie me and your dad didn't talk for years on end. I didn't know I had a niece till the accident happened and I saw the news, I was here visiting you everyday, just talking to you." You are all I have left from your dad."

Brittany was confused but she didn't think anything of it. They got to talking about his past and where they grew up. She wanted to get to know her uncle more since she never got to meet him for 22 years. They talked for hours and then he helped her with her physical therapy. She was getting better at it but its only been 3 days and she is healing like a champ. Betty comes in and checks on her now that she is back and mike leaves the room. Betty looked at her and said I've been here with you the past 5 years and I remember the night you came in the hospital and he was freaking out saying you were his niece and that he was worried about you. He came every day for months then slowed down to a few times a week.

"We've never met before, I never knew I had an uncle until I woke up. He said him and my dad never got along and he didn't know he had a niece until he saw the news when my mom and dad died."

"Well sweetie I am always here if you need me and I am a phone call away." Just be careful said betty.

Brittany asked mike if he could get her a phone just to have one on her if she ever needed anything and he went and got her one. She didn't have any friends or anything so she made a facebook account and tried to make some friends while she was in the hospital.
