They slowly flood the room as they begin to wheel me out "what did my mum say, will she be ok with this" the doctor looks at me "yes, she said do anything to keep her alive" I close my eyes "alright let's get this over with" and they wheel me out if my room to a dark room with lots of mechinery I keep my eyes closed as I do not like machines "here Toreli, I'll put this on"the surgeon carfully puts a breathing tube on my mouth and nose to put me to sleep and lifts my head up to put it around my head I hiss in pain "sorry, it'll be over soon" and i drift off to sleep.
About 3-4 hours later I slowly open my eyes and finding lots of eyes on me, I sit up forgetting the pain then remember, lifting my arms infront of me to see the difference barley anything then my legs, nothing one of the surgeons hugged me "oh my god, your alive can you walk" I look at her then slip off the bed and slowly make my way to the far side of the room then walked normally the doctor came in "try and skip" I widened my eyes at his sudden appearance then skipped nothing at all, no mechinery noises, gears clicking, cracks, creaks nothing, I check to make sure I'm breathing I place a hand to my heart and gasp "I'm alive" I whispered "I'm alive, IM ALIVE, IM... alive" I couldn't believe it then there was cheering and clapping I hugged each surgeon in turn and thanked them befome heading out. They doctor talk on the way "for safety reasons we can't cover your neck, I'm sorry about that" I look at the floor "its fine" its silent the rest of the way.
I see my mother down the hall in the waiting area in a wheelchair and her arm in a cast "mum" she looked over at me "oh my baby" a nurse pushing her towards us I carfully hug her tears streaking her face "you don't look different apart from your neck" I sigh "no matter I'm still the same" she smiles. The doctors give us one last major check over before dismissing us.
Early the next morning I got up and ready for school walking out of my room to my mothers shocked shocked expression "your... Going to school" I look ar her funny "yeaaaahh" she goes back to making her coffee "well I wouldn't go back to school for like a week" I walk to the bathroom "I think I'll be fine" my mum giggles "if that biatch at school annoys you, bash her" I laugh and put my hair over my neck to hide the mechinery I walk out and look at my mum "I'll order a taxi" and start to get money out my purse but my mum stops me "no hun, I've already done that " I hug her "thank you mum, your the best" she pats my back "try not to tell everyone what happened" I sigh "ok, bye love you" I walk out the door and get in the taxi and drive to school.
