Coma

Walking out of the club, drunk, all wasted, New York’s giant lights turning blurry, it was first daylight’s sparkles, Olivia was walking next to me. Niall’s party was damn a good way to forget about Elliot, my cheating boyfriend. Olivia was just saying words I couldn’t understand when suddenly I tripped off the sidewalk and fell to the main road. While I stood up and tried to understand what happened, I noticed that Olivia’s loud laughs turned into screams. Everything happened so fast, I couldn’t react quickly enough. “WATCH OUT!” Her words were the last before I noticed a very bright light into my face and then everything went black. Slowly, I started hearing noises around me again, still everything blurry, is… is Olivia crying? What is she saying? I cannot even recognize her face among of all the blurry faces around me… I lost conscious again. >>>“ The patient that came at 5:56 am, fell immediately unconscious, her vitals are bad…please miss, stay out of this area, we need all the space available to help your friend…. please calm down. -Please tell me she’s gonna be fine! -we still don’t know the amount of damage but we are doing our best, please remain calm miss or I will let the security get you out, we are in a hospital and you should remain calm. -FINE! Said Olivia helplessly, then she sat down on the steel bench in the corridor. A lady came to the reception and asked about me. This lady was the one responsible for my accident. “I am looking for a patient who came a while ago, she has been hit by a car, I… I am the one responsible for this. Please tell me how she’s doing? -The lady there came with her, the nurse pointed at Olivia, she is now in the O.R.” The lady came next to Olivia, who was crying, she sat next to her. “ I am sorry for what happened to your friend there, I really didn’t mean to harm her, but she came into my way and I couldn’t push the breaks on time.” Olivia looked at the beautiful girl next to her, her eyes puffed, her nose red and bigger now from the crying, hugged the girl and started sobbing. “She is my best friend, I don’t trust anyone like I trust her, she… she was drunk… I know, this isn’t your fault. But hold on, I know you! Do I? You look familiar.” The girl pulled away from Olivia and gave her a weird face, the girl had a beautiful shade of hazelnut hair color, beautiful green almond eyes, full lips and beautiful figure. “OH MY GOD! You are Linda Griffin! Aren’t you?? Kate, my friend, the one you hit… I mean the one who had the accident with you, she is your biggest fan! She wishes that she may meet you and get inspiration from your family!” The Griffins, one of the 10 top rich families in New York city, and one of its biggest investor and one of the most companies that flow cash back to the U.S. government, so it had power, money, economy control. But judging Linda, she seemed a cool person, someone this rich may have sent one of her servants to take care of situation, but she was present and she is caring for what happened and taking full responsibility. Linda was for sure uncomfortable from this chat, but then she steadied herself. “Well, hopefully your friend gets better soon, I will make it up for her… Plus I will pay for all of her hospital fees. I am really sorry for what happened, I will come to check up on her personally whenever I can. I will let my personal assistant get your number and then he will contact you to let me updated.” The drunk Olivia was startled, she thought she was daydreaming. She has never heard anyone this rich talk directly to her. “Now I have to go, I am sorry for all of this again! -Th…thanks for your concern!” When Linda left, the doctor came out of the O.R., she ran to him directly. “HOW IS SHE? -We have stabilized her blood stream. But she didn’t pass the critical phase, we might be afraid of her getting into coma if she doesn’t wake up in the next few hours because she had a concussion in her head and a broken rib. -Oh My Poor thing…. She had many dreams to achieve, this wasn’t planned. Can I see her?” >>>> Baldwin, three years ago. On a girlies night, I spent the night with Marie, Samantha and Dilan, I used to compete with Marie at high school, we were both toppers, but now here we are, 19 years old girls who hang around together, but seriously now, I cannot imagine my life without these girls. We prepared my house, romantic yellow lightbulbs, Sam brought white flowers, Dilan took care of the food and pastry, Marie and I took care of the decoration, I was responsible for curtains and sheets and preparing the room for our lovely sleepover and Marie was responsible for the movies and games later that night. I made sure my brother won’t disturb us so I sent him to Theodore’s and Marie’s, they are family, however I didn’t want our night to be ruined. “So Dilan, you are a Virgo right? On the Internet, it shows that the perfect match for a Virgo, is….a Capricorn! And your worst is Aquarius. -Just like my brother! I know you have a crush on him since forever, I teased her, Dilan blushed in approval then switched to a more serious mood, mostly sad. “But I am not his type, he used to date that witch Sophia, I am nothing like her, yet I am not crazy to act and take the first step and risk it… -Honey, what would be love without taking risk, adventure, falling for someone and sharing your feelings with him! Its all about the dangerous passion in the relationship! I implied. -Look who’s talking about love and yet, she hadn’t been with a guy since 6th grade, as for me, Love when you find peace, calmness, someone you find in your darkest nights lighting up your mood… I found my peace with Pascal , he is my favorite person and my hero, after my brother Theo for sure, but I really admire him. I won’t bore you with my relationship talk since you’re all single.” Marie joked around and we all laughed, then she continued “Let ago this talk and tell me your zodiac Kate! -I am a Gemini, what is my best match and what is my worst? -Your best match is a Libra, and your worst is a Scorpio. Do you know any Libra? -Nope, not any guy I know. Well, so, to spice this night a little , who’s up to a dare or shot game?” The ladies all cheered up with one scream. We all took 3 to 4 shots before we started. “Sam, dare or shot? -Dare! -Call your mom and tell her you’re pregnant. -Hell no! I choose shot! -Double!!!! We all said in the same time. -Dilan, dare or shot? Asked Marie -Dare. -Call Matteo and ask him out!” Dilan held her breath and she gazed out as if she is calculating the results. -FINE, I AM DOING IT.” Ringing…. I bet Dilan’s heartbeat was racing because I, who hasn’t anything to do with this, felt a rush of adrenaline through my veins, maybe because I didn’t find Mr. Perfect for me, yet I want to find him. My thoughts were cut out when I heard my brother’s voice. “Hello? -H…Hii Matteo! -Hi Dilan, is everything okay there? Is everyone safe? -Umm… Yes, everything is fine, we are all good, but I called you for another reason. -Oh, sure, tell me! -Are you free tomorrow at 4? -Hold on, what are you girls up to?” I looked at Dilan and pointed at her to act like she wasn’t near to us. “What girls, I am not with them right now, I came to …. To the kitchen and call you, and now you tell me what we are up to? -I am sorry, but I thought there is something because you don’t call me usually, anyways, I am free at 5 tomorrow as I finish my part time at Rocco’s, is this okay for you? -Absolutely fine! At Timmy’s at 5 pm? -Yep… meet you tomorrow then, are you bringing someone with you, like my sister or what Else? -No, just the two of us! -Just the two of us… he chuckled on the phone, good night Dilan. -G..good night Matteo.” And she hung up. Silence and surprise ran through the room, we weren’t expecting this! Suddenly, we were all off the bed jumping and screaming from joy. When we calmed a bit, we looked at Dilan who turned bright red from excitement. “Well, as if this isn’t the craziest night for my life, I dare you Kate to go to the subway, and kiss the first guy you meet there! Sam dared me. “Ouhhhhhh, are you to take this dare or double the shots? Declared Dilan challenging me. I looked at the girls surrounding me, took a deep breath, this was my first kiss we are talking about, But to hell with it!!!! “MARIE! BRING THE KEYS!” The ladies gang was ridiculous as f**k, we went to the subways in our pajamas, and the worst part, I was wearing Unicorn pajamas with a corn on the hat of it! The others weren’t wearing any better but somehow we managed to create our special theme together. Strangely, the subway was empty at this time, there was no one, even the security weren’t over there, maybe they switching shifts? As I walked into the subway. I found a tall guy, who was wearing long overcoat, I knew this figure. The guy was playing on his harmonica some notes, they were there. “Theodore” I said. The music stopped, Theodore looked at me with questioning and surprise. He was this tall hot guy with messy semi-mid length black hair, he had green eyes, and beautiful arched eyebrows and long eyelashes. “What are you doing here? Is everything alright? He asked me. Without hesitation, I moved closer to the boy, who was still standing at his place, his eyes were red and he wasn’t alright. “Are you okay? You seem sad. -I… I am fine, I am just waiting here for a friend, now tell me what brings you here at this time?” I was now focused on his lips, Go for it Kate, just kiss him and run, or not, just do it. With no more time, I closed the distance between the two of us, closed my eyes and kissed the guy while I put both of my hands on his chest, I was standing on my toes to reach him. GOD, he smelled gooood! I felt a gentle warmness on my back, Theo took the kiss in and played along with me. What a freak!!!! I pulled away immediately, I wasn’t expecting this! “YOU FREAK, HOW DARE YOU KISS ME BACK! YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO GIVE IN AND KISS ME! i***t! YOU SHOULD HAVE PULLED AWAY RIGHT AWAY! -What the f**k is wrong with you! You’re the one who kissed me at first, so you’re the freak, second why would I pull away the embrace of a cute girl… he checked me, then continued, in unicorn pajamas!?” I stopped my reaction and felt heat run through my cheeks, I looked him in the eyes and as if reality hit me back, I ran toward the girls who were near yet not showing up. As I reached them, they were dying with laughter, when they saw me, they just shut up and I dared anyone of them, if she wanted to talk about this, she will have to sleep at the rooftop, with no sheets to warm up. But as we reached the car, I started laughing too. “THAT IS A f*****g WEIRD SITUATION! -MY BROTHER KATE, WHAT THE f**k IS HE DOING THERE! Declared Marie. -You should see your face Kate! You were red as a tomato! Said Dilan. The rest of the night was just some more fun. This was a spectacular sleepover! <<<Meanwhile, back to reality, it was now 10 am. Olivia hadn’t slept a minute, and the cops were already here to investigate the accident’s details. Linda’s personal assistant was also here and he contacted her to come over and testimony what happened as well. "Good morning Ms., a blond cop with moustache said to Olivia who was sitting next to my bed. "Good morning officer, I am Olivia Kant, Kate’s friend and her collogue. -Excuse me, said the assistant. Can we hold up the questionnaire for a while, Madame in charge will be here in 5, so can we wait till then?” Few minutes later, Linda and a handsome guy, with brown hair and brown eyes, showed at my hospital room, and investigation went fine. The cops waited for me to wake up to ask me if I will press charges against Linda Griffin, but I wasn’t still awake. The cops left, but Linda and who seemed to be Roy Griffin, her elder brother, stayed in the room to communicate with Olivia. "Miss Olivia, I came with my sister to check on your friend, I am sorry to hear that she is still unconscious, said Roy, hopefully she’ll get better soon. But for now, I want to discuss the legal process of you not taking advantage of such situation and take our money for no reason, so Roger my lawyer will come in and let you sign a paper, that we are only responsible for your friend’s medical treatment, all of it, to be fair, and stick to the fact to drop charges. -Thank you for your kindness to pay our fees, but I am sure my friend won’t press charges, I cannot sign this paper, I am her friend. But if I know Kate, she is one of your biggest fan, and she sees you an idol of youth and success. Roy, stood in a position that he was concerned. He looked at me, my head wrapped, my neck wrapped, my body lifeless, just the heartbeat monitor beeping and blood streaming into my hand’s veins. "What did she study?”
