Beeping Machines

With one last look on the mirror, I pick up my house keys and lock the door heading through the stairs, Instead of using elevator. I get to down stairs to the parking lot to get my car.

Fortunately for me my school isn't far from my apartment. It's a fifteen minutes drive from my apartment.

Arriving at the campus, I walk to my class which is English major, I'm pretty excited about it because it's my last subject before I start my internship which is tomorrow.

"Emma" I hear a voice breaking me from my thoughts, I turn to see Jessica running my way, as she gets closer.

"Hi, how are you?" she asks while smiling back at me.

"Not so good, babe" I tell her shaking my head.

"Hangover?" she asks hitting directly to the point.

I nod...

We walk into class and take a seat in the middle roll beside each other.

I hear my phone buzz from my back, I reach over to it taking it out of my back.

A message pops up from my phone screen.

" Let's grab lunch after class, Jessica" it reads I shake my head at her idiocy for sending me a message whilst she's sitting next to me.

"Sounds good" I whisper to her.

With a light chuckle she nods her head.

Class went by smoothly and I absolutely loved it.

"Come on, let's get something to eat," I nod my head as I began collecting my bag.

I stare at the road waiting for the robot to change allowing us to walk across.

"Now I'm going to get you a bloody good greasy food substance with a strong cup of coffee." Jessica hooks her arm through mine as we cross the street.

As we got into the cafe and it is buzzing, while reading the menu I suddenly lose my appetite.

I really don't know what's happening to me these past few days I've been losing appetite each time I feel like eating.

Jessica seats across me as she shifts her gaze over the top of the menu. "Did you decide on what you would eat?"

"I will order just salad" I say.

"Girl!, you need a greasy something" she says.

"It's still greasy" I let out a small chuckle.

"Oh, well" she mutters.

A few seconds later a waitress comes back with our order, and as soon as our food was set on the table, Jessica digs into her as if she was about to die of hunger.

"Come on, eat" she says with food full in her mouth.

I let out a light laugh "I will join you" I say.

But before I could dig in my food, a certain wave of pain appears in my head.

I try standing up so I could go to the rest room, but my feet couldn't move at all, I suddenly felt dizzy. This time the headache is unbearable, I felt like everything around me was moving in slow motion when I fell to the ground.I try to stand straight up, feeling dizzy again. But I stagger back down.

"What's, going" I could hear, Jessica's voice and feel her touching me but I had no strength to reply her.

I felt myself getting sleepy, drifting off when I heard sounds of sirens and Jessica's screams.

"Stay with me, Emma! Please, listen to me and fight! back, please"

I wanted to tell her how much I was in pain but I couldn't, was this death for me?

If it is death, I don't want to die like this, I can't leave everything behind.

I wake up feeling exhausted and sweaty, I try to clear my eye sight but everything is blurry, all I could hear are the sounds of beeping machines.

Am I in the hospital?

I could hear sniffs as if someone was crying but couldn't make out who it was.

I tried moving my right arm but I couldn't, I can feel pain through it an something attached in my skin it must be connected to the monitors.

"She's going to be okay honey" A husky voice speaks and it sounds like my dad.

But why are they here? I could hear my a woman crying that must be my mom, but why is she crying am I dead? Could a be in a dreamless sleep but why can I hear them and why can't I move?

I waken to the sun shining brightly through the room, I blinked a few times and realise that someone was standing next to me but I can't seem to notice the figure, but by the appearance of it it's a man because of te height and the body.

That's when I hear a deep voice.

"Emma?"

I blink a few times until I see everything clear again.

"What happened to me?" I ask with a shakey voice.

"Don't move, Emma"

"B-but who are you" I ask narrowing my eyes.

He sighs "Are you sure you don't remember?" he says.

"Where, am I ?" I question again.

"You are in the hospital" he says.

"But why am I here?" I ask with a confused look.

"Stay right here, I will be back" He said.

My mom walks in the room with my dad wrapping his arms around her.

Beeping machines invade my ears and I look down to see different tubes coming out of me.

I'm still in the hospital....

"Mom, Dad" I say.

"Oh, Emma" my mom walks gingerly towards me and wrapping her arms towards me.

Wrapping me tightly in her arms and crying.

"Mom, I can't breathe" I whine.

"Oh, Emma, I'm glad you're awake, honey" She says.

The door creaks open revealing Jason and Jessica.

"Oh, sweety, I'm so glad you are awake" she repeats.

"Mom, I'm okay" I say with a soft voice.

"No, you are not Emma, you've been sleeping for 4 days now" Jessica busts out in tears.

"4 four days" I fly up to a sitting position, which is the wrong move to do, my head spins and I slip back in my sleeping position.

Everyone nods in response at the same time.

"What happened to me?" I ask

The room is filled with an awkward silence.
