Sorry if bạn don't like the way its done but you'll just have to live with it. Um anyway enjoy. And I'm sorry if this is long. Cough rate cough please cough soory i got a bit of a cold
I sat up gasping and sweating. The moonlight shone through the window giving the hospital room a dim light. I remembered the dream as vividly as if it happened yesterday. I put a hand on my back and felt along the skin. I almost fainted. There was blood there and scrapes across my back. And just like that, the skin was smooth, all traces of my dream vanished.
I lay back down slowly trying to get back to sleep. I stared at the ceiling trying to calm myself. Okay so did that mean when I go to sleep I go to another world. But that doesn’t happen, my logical side cried. Then why did bạn have scars on your back, the fiction me said. I groaned and tried to get to sleep. For the whole night I tried to get to sleep without success. After a while I got up and hobbled over to the comfy chair using the furniture to help me. I looked out the window and suddenly I remembered, Colo. I would have to ask for her in the morning. I leaned back into the chair and thought about my family.
For the whole night I stared out the window, and suddenly I realised how alone I was. How everyone I had known and loved had truly left me. I would never hear mum hát in the vòi hoa sen I would never hear dad laughing whenever he made a mistake. Never again would I hear the scratching of Alexis’s pencil and never would I see Sarita tilt her head in confusion when someone đã đưa ý kiến a joke. I bowed my head and felt tears falling from my eyes into my open palm.
I watched the sun rise and watched as the light spread across the gardens below me. I barely heard the footsteps outside that no one else could hear.
Suddenly that đắng, cay đắng nurse walked in. She glanced at the giường and then at me. “Couldn’t sleep,” she said. I shook my head. I think I might like this kid. She didn’t come crying to me when she woke up like the other brats around here.
“Are bạn feeling alright? No head pains, sore limbs etcetera?” she asked me. Actually I felt fine except for being freaked out and everything, I added mentally.
“You see when bạn have a broken hand and a sprained ankle, you’re going to be in pain,” I đã đưa ý kiến in a mock matter of fact voice. I hesitated also after I đã đưa ý kiến that about to say something else.
“What is it,” she asked impatiently.
“I can sort of read your mind,” I said. I wasn’t going to keep it secret like in movies. She raised her eyebrow and looked at me as if I was insane. Great, she’s insane, Don’t try and cover up your sarcasm I thought .Can bạn hear me now Alyria she thought. She chuckled at her own joke and I rolled my eyes.
“Alyria if bạn just stay here I’m going to go and get the doctor”. Crap, she thinks I’m insane, think Alyria, think. I started laughing, “Oh my God bạn fell for it ha, ha, ha,” I laughed. I pretended to wipe away a tear. I was seriously pushing my luck with this.
“Yes the ngày I read minds is the ngày that Jesus goes to hell,” I đã đưa ý kiến in amusement. Looks like Jesus’ has gone to hell I thought.
“Why don’t bạn stop joking around in the hospital, people take things seriously,” she snapped.
“Why don’t bạn get a sense of humour?” I said. She scowled at me and stalked out of the room.
I felt really bad about being rude and for the whole ngày I sat there regretting what I said. I was having a crap day. I cheered up considerably when breakfast came, I felt really hungry, god dammed this was going to happen in both worlds. I pushed aside the regret and started thinking about the dream. As my thoughts turned to this my hand lifted automatically to my back trying to find the scars. Somehow I am travelling to a different world and place when I fall asleep. I could just not sleep, I thought. But then I’ll be tired all the time and they’ll probably give me something to knock me out anymore. I heard footsteps out in the hallway and I recognised Mr Marks. I sighed, what did the gods have against me?
There was a soft knock on the door and Mr Marks poked his head through the door.
“Alyria, can I come in?” he asked softly. I nodded and gestured for him to take a ghế, chỗ ngồi tiếp theo to my bed.
“Now Alyria what did bạn say to Miss Teredon?” he asked me softly. She must be having a tough time. I don’t think she meant to be meant to be mean to Miss Teredon; she doesn’t seem like the kind of kid to do that. Jeez that doesn’t make me feel better about myself I thought sarcastically.
‘I didn’t mean it, I was just tired and upset, I didn’t mean to offend her,” I đã đưa ý kiến ashamed.
“It’s alright Alyria she was just a bit annoyed,” he đã đưa ý kiến gently. That wouldn’t be a first he thought chuckling. I had to smile at that.
“Mr marks, what’s going to happen to me when I get out of here,” I asked seriously. He frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.
Hm, I wonder what will happen. I’ll have to ask Dr Smith tiếp theo time I see him.
“I can’t answer that properly for bạn but I think bạn will probably go to a foster family. It may not be from where bạn originally lived,” he added. I bit my lip and nodded. I closed my eyes to accept that and then opened them.
“So what psychiatric treatment am I getting today?” I asked in false cheeriness. He chuckled,
“Actually I got a surprise for you, I got bạn some books,” he said.
“Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, bạn are my saviour,” I said, clasping my hands together in false praise to God. He chuckled and pulled out a book from inside his jacket. I tried to read the cover but it was too far away. He came closer and handed me the book. It seemed to be a new book because it had a glossy cover. I wonder if she’ll like it I might have to return it. My eyes shone with wonderment. The book was called ‘the tapestry’ and it had a picture of a boy standing there holding a spear.
“Thank bạn Mr Marks, I really tình yêu it,” I đã đưa ý kiến grinning at him clutching the book to my chest. He smiled and then we had to talk about how I was coping and about the future. After twenty phút he left and I gazed after him. I was starting to feel really hungry, it gnawed at my stomach and I groaned. I felt like jumping up and hugging the girl who brought the food.
I smiled and looked down at the book. I flipped it open and started reading. It was a bit difficult trying to turn the pages with a cast on but I soon forgot about it. Immediately I was engrossed in the story of Max McDaniel. I didn’t notice all the time that went bởi until the sun shone through one of the windows hitting me in the eyes. Instantly I flinched. I pulled my head back and blinked a few times to get my sight back. I was about halfway through the book I realised so I memorised the page and put it on the bedside table. I sighed and leaned back against the cái gối, gối and daydreamed about a life in a book.
I was startled when one of the doctors came in and checked my chart.
“So how are bạn feeling Alyria,” He asked.
I wonder what’s for dinner. I guess I have to concentrate hear. Concentrate Luke.
“I’m fine, I was just about to go to sleep,” I đã đưa ý kiến trying to hint for him to leave. He nodded briefly scanned the chart ticked a few things and then left. I decided I might as well try and get some sleep. I got up and shut the blinds and crawled into the bed.
