Chapter 7:

Sleep paralysis. My brain was awake but my body was stuck. I couldn’t move no matter how hard I tried. Half dreaming/ half awake and I tried so hard to just wake up. I heard beeping in the distance. All I saw in my head was darkness. After struggling for what felt like forever finally I jumped up terrified.

I rubbed my eyes and took a look around. What the fuck. I said in my head. I was surrounded by machines and there was a tube shoved down my throat. I was clearly in the hospital but what the hell happened? There was no one in the room other than me.

I thought as hard as I could trying to uncover what had led me here. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep with Luke dreading the idea of leaving him. I was thinking as hard as I possibly could about what happened but I couldn’t figure it out.

Just then, my mom, dad, and Gia walked in the room all hand in hand. I couldn’t speak so I just darted my eyes towards them.

“Oh my gosh. Sutton?!” My mom threw herself to my bedside and started bawling her eyes out kissing me gently.

“I’ll go get the nurse!” My dad ran out of the room as fast as he could.

Doctors and nurses looked me over for what felt like hours. They removed the tube that was in my throat and they talked but it was mostly about me and not directly to me. I had never been so confused in my entire life.

Finally, a middle-aged man with a mask and a seagull scrub cap introduced himself to me as Dr. Grebs. He was the doctor handling my case this entire time. Dr. Grebs made me follow directions and asked me questions about what I remembered, what happened to me, etc. I understood everything he said and followed all the directions I could but I had no answers about what got me here. I told him the last things I remembered, falling asleep with Luke beside me the morning I was set to leave Coopersville. Every time I talked my throat felt like I had swallowed nails. I could speak but my voice was so hoarse and quiet.

“I’m going to go get your family and bring them in, Sutton. I’d like to talk to all of you.” Dr. Grebs smiled and then walked out to gather them. I was really looking forward to finally understanding what was going on. I wondered where Luke was and if Reagan knew about any of this.

“So Sutton, your case is extraordinary. We have done many many tests and you appear to be completely healthy. You have a slightly irritated throat which is expected because of the tube. The laceration located on your temple has healed remarkably.”

I lifted my hand and felt a large scar that I remembered before. It was from when Luke crashed into me on the bike. Although it did feel bigger than it used to.
