Something More Than Friends *Chapter Nine* I opened my eyes to

Something More
Than Friends

 *Chapter Nine*

I opened my eyes to find myself in a bright white room, all by myself. A blue, lightweight hospital gown covered me, and I was resting on a reclined bed that elevated my head and neck. How did I get here? I thought, rubbing my head which was currently throbbing with pain. My memory flashed back to Josh and me in his car. It all happened so fast, and each even that occurred was somewhat blurry. The strike of lightning; the speeding car; Josh throwing himself in front of me; then the horrifying crash. All I can remember after that was sirens. Faint, eerie sirens and flashing lights red and blue lights. After that, I just blacked out. Next thing I know, I’m sitting here all alone in a hospital room, isolated from the world. “She’s awake; I need medical assistance, stat!” I heard a voice call out. Before I knew what was happening, two middle aged women rushed into the room beside my bed.
 
One took my temperature while the other checked my heart beat. “All clear, Sheryl,” one confirmed to the other. “What’s going on?” I asked, confused. “Honey, you were in a bad car accident during tonight’s storm. The car that hit you took off immediately, but the police are trying to track them down as we speak. Thankfully, though, you made it out of there with only a minor concussion. You’re a very lucky girl, Brielle, because if it weren’t for the actions of that boy you were with, you could’ve been severely injured,” She explained. “Josh!” I shouted, in a panic. “Where’s Josh? I need to see him! I need to-” “Calm down, hun,” the nurse cut me off. “Some doctors are working with Josh right now. I can’t allow you to see him just yet, though,” I couldn’t obtain not seeing Josh right now. I needed to know if he was okay. “But you don’t understand, this is really important, I-”  “Josh is in a far more serious condition right now, and he is not allowed any visitors at the moment. I’m sorry,” She apologized. Teardrops rolled down my face, and there was no holding them back. I wanted answers, and I wanted them now. “Why? What are they doing to him? What’s wrong?” I attempted to question through my tears. “Oh, Brielle,” she began. Her voice sounded like she was dreading something. “You see, when Josh dove in front of you to protect you during that crash, his arm, leaning against the dashboard, was crushed by the impact. That wasn’t such a major thing, only sprained, but the major injury was to his head. His head got knocked around quite a bit, too, but far worse than yours did. The doctors performed brain surgery on Josh earlier, but he’s still out from the anesthesia. I regret to inform you that if the surgery hasn’t worked, this could result in a serious condition of memory loss.” Her voice was trembling, and my tears were flowing from by eyes now like rivers. What if Josh doesn’t know who I am?  I shook the thought away and asked the doctor if I could be alone. She respected my command and left the room after the other assistant, leaving me in a pile of tears and sorrowful thoughts. Somewhere though, through all of the tears and pain, I drifted off to sleep.
 
I was woken up an hour later by the same black-haired nurse that I spoke with before. I soon found out her name was Nancy. She informed that I had visitors, and in came my parents. “My poor girl!” My dad cried, rushing over to hug me. I hugged the both of them, and told them I was feeling alright. They were glad to hear that I wasn’t badly injured, thanks to Josh. Thankfully, both of my parents understood that this was none of Josh’s fault, and my mom even insisted on thanking him for covering me in the crash. Nancy informed them that Josh was available for visitors now, as well, but I told them I wanted to see him first, by myself. My parents agreed that was a better idea, then kissed me goodbye and took off to home. I hurried myself out of my bed, and stood onto the cold, tile floor. This is it, I thought. Josh might not ever know me as his Brielle, ever again. On the way to where Josh was staying on the floor below mine, I asked Nancy about his parents. She told me that they weren’t able to come see him yet, because they were out of town at an important business meeting. I think Josh is a little more important than a dumb business meeting, I contradicted. In front of an open doorway, which had the numbers 104 titled above the doorway, Nancy stopped and looked at me. “Now Brielle, no matter what happens, whether he remembers you or not, Josh will always love you,” she encouraged. I took a deep breath and wiped away the few tears that remained on my cheeks below my eyes. Walking into the room, my heart began beating faster and faster. Then, I saw him. Lying there, lifeless in his hospital bed and gown, sleeping. The top of his head was wrapped in thick white bandages, and I noticed a few small, faint bruises on the side of his upper face. Alert to the sound of me and Nancy’s footsteps, Josh’s eyes slowly opened. I held my breath, and stood by the side of his bed. He looked up at me, with a look of confusion in his eyes. I brought myself to the conclusion that Josh must not remember me. He doesn’t know who I am, I thought to myself, trying to hold back my tears. I couldn’t live like this. He needs to remember me. How could he forget all of our memories? Nurse Nancy walked out of the doorway, giving me the privacy I needed to take in all of this. “Josh,” I whispered softly, looking down towards my feet, while one silent tear slid down my face. “Josh, you have to remember me,” I spoke. Silently praying that his surgery worked. His head turned to the side for a moment, then back at me. He carefully grabbed my head, trying to make some sort of connection. His eyes looked up and focused on my face. He pulled my hand slightly closer to him, then looked into my eyes, and whispered, “Brielle.”
