Saturday, Day 6

I didn’t want to wake up, but something wasn’t right. There was a strange beeping, an unfamiliar bed, and the smell of disinfectant. I didn’t know where I was, and I didn’t like it. Then I remembered.

My eyes snapped open and I immediately regretted it. The light stung my eyes. I looked around but I couldn’t really make out much. My brain felt woolly, and my vision was blurry. I was safe though. I could make that out. I was no longer lying in a school corridor with a murderer crouching over me.

Bits and pieces of what had happened after came back to me like fragments of a dream, but I realized all of the strange snapshots were actual memories. I remembered watching fluorescent lights go by over me as I was wheeled on a gurney. Nurses and doctors leaned over to look at me, but talked over me, not to me. I tried to speak to them, to make them notice me, but something was covering my mouth. I tried to lift it off, but a nurse stopped me, saying I had to keep the mask on. I didn’t understand her and tried to tell her that I wasn’t wearing a mask. That this was really my face. Only “No,” came out. The nurse assured me that I would be okay.

Nothing else was very clear after that. I remembered things. Sensations. No clear images. Stuff happened. Stuff was done to me. That much was certain. It was frightening. Even trying to remember it sent a chill through me and my mind shied away.

My eyes adjusted enough for me to recognize where I was. I was propped up on a hospital bed in the school’s clinic. I was hooked up to an IV and there was a monitor attached to my right index finger. A tube blew oxygen into my nose. My back throbbed and everything ached. Mom was by the bed, slumped over with her cheek again my hand. I didn’t have much strength, but I twitched my hand to rouse her.

She lifted her head and saw my eyes were open. “Sarah, you’re okay, honey. You’re safe,” she said. Her eyes were red and swollen. I shook my head and reached out to her.

“Don’t cry,” I slurred.

She swiped at her cheeks and gave me a shaky smile. “I won’t anymore. Promise. How do you feel?”

I frowned. “Like I’m floating but there’s a hook in my back, keeping me tethered. I don’t like it.”

She reached out and stroked my forehead. “I’m sorry, honey. It’ll get better as the effect of the anesthesia wears off.”

I sighed and let my eyes slide shut, sinking into the bed. “What happened?” I asked.

Her hand froze on my forehead. “Don’t you remember?”

I grimaced. My throbbing back made the memory easy to recall. I forced my eyes open. “Someone stabbed me?”

She nodded. “Yes, do you remember anything else?”

I wanted to close my eyes and sink back into sleep, but I made myself stay awake. “I didn’t recognize him.
