5 It's not me!

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I heard a monitor sound like the ones Hannah would use when she was little. I looked around my neck barely moved, as it was the same with every other bone in my body. I didn't feel the same, not anymore. In front of me, a small TV stuck to the corner of the wall playing the news. "Truck accident on a peaceful street, driver had a heart attack, cat saves young girl's life, but dies" What? I moved my eyes, processing what I heard. I died, so how am I?- The door opened a man, mid-twenties, walked in. I recognized him. He was that English guy!- umm "Mr. Forlesther?" I mumbled, incapable of controlling my dialect. I gasped in shock. As the man looked at me over his glasses with a smile. "Yes?" He raised an eyebrow and looked my way. "How do you know who I am? I believe this is the first time we meet" His face got serious, and I just searched anything around the room or on him for an excuse. "Y-Your robe" I stuttered. "Your name is-" "Oh yes! I tend to forget hospital habitats quite quickly" He smiled. "Ms. Amy, you do not seem to have any relatives...do you have any friends?" I hesitated. I didn't know. My head pounded like crazy, and I didn't know what to say. "My name..." I muttered. "What?" He looked at me. His eyes were filled with a look that I couldn't quite place in any category. No emotion maybe. Or wonder lingered in his head. I didn't know. I  couldn't read him.

"Amy Lanster, 19, a college student, part-time novel writer, and I quote, surprisingly famous for your age." He began reading off his clipboard and licked his thumb to flip the page. "You live in a share house with two other girls, and that's it." He looked up, then over his glasses, and at me. I found it bit annoying, but I let it be.

He checked all there was to check about me and then stood at the foot of the bed. "If there's anything you need just press this button" he said, pointing at a remote at the tip of my hand. "OK" I nodded vaguely as he looked into my eyes. "What?" I asked. "Huh? What?" He stuttered as he shook his head. "No, nothing" He smiled, and left.
