Chapter 4 Life Takes a Quick Turn On Me

Claire's Pov

I walked around the dark room for hours. I shouted for help. My voice echoed around the room if it was obvious that I was all alone.

I reluctantly rested on the floor and closed my eyes. Suddenly I saw a bright light.

I opened my eyes and saw myself on a hospital bed though I couldn't see clearly.

I became confused and yelled.

"How did I get here? What am I doing here?" I asked Curiously.

"Calm down Claire! You've been in a coma for almost a week now!" a voice yelled.

When I heard this I became terrified. I couldn't believe it. How come? So the few hours I spent in that dark room is equivalent to a week in a coma. oh no I whispered to myself.

I couldn't make out the person who just told me about being in a coma. So I struggled to open my eyes when I finally opened them. It was the doctor.

"What do you mean by that? How is that possible? I just had an accident yesterday? This isn't possible at all!" I yelled continuously drawing the arts of other doctors and nurses.

Suddenly I saw my parents rushing to the ward.

"Calm down please! Only her family will be allowed into the ward! The doctor yelled.

"I'm her dad, please let me in! Is she ok? I heard she's in a coma. Is she going to be fine? My dad's voice echoed from outside.

"Please tell me my daughter is fine! Say something doctor! Is she alright?" My mom yelled

"She's fine now! She just recovered from a coma! Wait, are you Mr and Mrs Smith? The doctor asked them curiously

Yes I'm Edmund Smith and this is my wife Felicia Smith these! These are ng daughters! My dad replied.

Wow! Well I am Doctor Rogers , I am so honored to meet one of the most popular families today.Although it's an unfortunate event that brought us together." The doctor whispered as he opened the door for them to enter.

I could hear voices of many people all yelling at the other wards and outside by ward but my dad's voice was the only one I could recognize.

As my parents and sisters got into the ward the doctor whispered to me.

"Ok what about the rest I still see threw people outside should I let them all in?" He asked me curiously.

"Yes please." I replied with a low voice.

Suddenly, my friends entered the ward. I could barely see them till they got close to my bed. Their voices echoed around the ward as they whispered amongst themselves.

"What happened Claire? How did this happen?" We've been worried sick for a week now and we already declared you missing!" My dad yelled.

"Yes Claire when we came back home you were not there! We patiently waited thinking and hoping you'd return but you didn't return! We declared you missing after two days! The police searched for days with no sign of you till we heard about the accident.

Someone directed us to this hospital. He said this is where they took the two patients to! Who is the other patient?" My mom whispered.

"Talk to us big sister!" my sister Violette added.

"Please don't pressure her! She just recovered from a coma in an hour . A little pressure will affect her nervous system. The doctor warned.

"I'm not saying anything because I don't have anything to say to you!" Three of you stabbed me at the back! I called you my friends. I didn't know you were my enemies in disguise!" I snapped at Ciara, Matilda and Eliana.

They stood there staring at me, tears rolling down from their tears. I didn't care about their tears because before the accident what I saw made it clear to me that no one could be trusted.

"What are you talking about Claire? Whatever we did we did it to make you happy we didn't plan for any of this to happen?" Matilda whispered.

Yes Claire! We've been friends since we were in middle school! We wouldn't do anything to harm you! Ciara added as he wiped the tears out of her eyes.

"They're right! So please forgive us." Eliana added.

"Shut up all of you! I know you fake three musketeers! Just pray nothing happens to my daughter! I've earned her severally to stay away from companies like this but she wouldn't listen now look where it landed her! My dad snapped.

"Calm down sweetheart, remember what the doctor said. We need to take it easy with our daughter! She just got out of a coma and she needs rest! Claire sweetheart who is the other patient. I just remembered a handsome guy was the one who told us about the accident and the hospital you were rushed to! He's too sweet, do you know him?" My mom yelled.

When she said this my mind went to only one person. But I refused to accept that it might be him.

"Mom, I don't know him!" I replied reluctantly.

My mom smiled and whispered.

"You don't have to be shy! If you know him, tell us we won't bite! He's very handsome. He said his name was Dave Don Carlos. My mom whispered.

Immediately I heard the name. It didn't just affect my whole body. I began to convulse, my eyes shaking very fast.

"Look what you've caused I told you not to speak about that Devil's spawn of a guy! I don't like him at all! There's something strange about him. I can't place my hands on him! What's wrong with her doctor? My dad yelled.

"You all must have said something to trigger this! What could that be? If you all want her to get better, treat her like an egg! Whatever issues you have should wait till she fully recovers! She's in a convulsive state right now! Let's pray she recovers! The doctor yelled as his body language expressed uncertainty.
