Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 51: Watchful Eyes 

EMMA’s POV : 

My head felt so heavy.It took almost everything in me just to pry my eyes open.The first thing I saw was this white fluorescent light.The ceiling and the light didn't look like my room.

I must be someplace else.I was trying to remember if I had seen this place before.

My eyes then traveled to the white walls and window, and I noticed it was daylight outside.

Then I felt my ears started ringing.

I closed my eyes to drown out the noise until finally, I was left with only this beeping sound.

I looked to the source of the beeping and it came from a machine right next to me.

Finally I realized where I was, I was in a hospital.

I was lying on the bed and I had a tube stuck on my arm.

My body was too weak to even move or speak, so I just lay there and did nothing but breathe.

I felt like I was in a daze.

A part of me was thinking that I was just dreaming.

"Bill! She’s awake!" mom's voice pierced through the air.

I looked down and I saw her standing in front of the door with my dad.

They looked tired and worried as they came racing towards me.

"Emma? Emma, honey?" she said as held my cheek.

"Emma, can you hear us?" dad followed.

"..Mom.... Dad..." my voice croaked.

It took so much energy just to say those two words out loud.

"Oh, honey.We were so worried," mom was showering my face with kisses and tears trickled down her face.

"Oh, thank God," dad kissed the top of my head.

"What happened?" I breathed.

Mom and dad exchanged a look before turning back to me.Mom took a deep breath and said: "Honey, you were in a car accident,"

A car accident...That's right.I remembered it now.

After I turned off my phone, my foot was hitting the gas pedal to the floor and my car was speeding down the road.

I wasn't sure where I was going, but I just needed to get away from that clinic.My chest was beating so fast and my head was a mess.

Tears were blurring my vision, and in the midst of all that, suddenly I saw a little dog or a raccoon or whatever jumped in front of the road.

I was so shocked, the car swerved uncontrollably until it hit something hard and everything went dark.

I couldn't fully remember everything but there were flashes.

I saw an ambulance car and I heard the voices of Tiff and Carrie crying out in the background.

I saw images of the paramedics lifting me into the car.

I saw some lights and faces of doctors in masks.

And the next thing I knew, I woke up here.Mom’s hair was disheveled and her eyes were swollen and dark.Dad was normally clean and happy, but now he looked so old and tired.

"I'm so sorry..."was all that I could say to them.

"Oh, it's okay.It’s alright.We're just glad you're safe,"mom shook her head and squeezed my hand.

"Are you cold? Do you need anything?"dad asked.

"No..."I answered weakly.

"Bill, get the doctor.They should check her up,"mom instructed and dad nodded.
