The blackness faded until I could see my eyelids. Ugh, I hurt all over! Slowly, I opened my eyes to see a plain white ceiling above me. Then, I heard rhythmic beeping to my right. I slowly turned my head in that direction and saw what looked like a heart monitor. Am I in a hospital?

I heard someone walk into the room and raised my head just enough to see them. The person was a nurse. She walked over to my side and started fiddling with a plastic bag that had a small amount of clear fluid inside. When she was done the bag was full again. When I tried to move I groaned and the nurse turned towards me, smiling, and said, "I'll be back soon with your family, okay honey?"

I slowly nodded my head then winced in pain. Why do doctors and nurses always call people either honey or dear? Then she left the room. She returned about ten minutes later with my parents and Lina following her. I held my weak arms out, noticing that there was a device attached to one of the fingers on my right hand. They immediately rushed over to me and hugged me. I winced even though I was smiling.

Then I asked, "What exactly happened to me?"

My mom replied, "You had a heart attack darling. You are really lucky. Your heart had stopped beating for a couple minutes and they were able to restart it while you were in the ambulance."

"Mom! You know not to call me that anymore." I cried out. Then I said, "How long do I have to stay here though?"

The nurse replied, "Just for two days honey, we need to observe you so we can make sure nothing else happens. After that you can go home as long as you have plenty of rest. You also won't be going back to school for at least a week so you can have your rest and also so you don't get stressed because that could instigate another heart attack and that would be devastating." Seriously? Why does she keep calling me that?

"Fine." I grumbled. They all smiled at me. My mother smoothed back the hair on my forehead and kissed my brow. I inwardly groaned in annoyment. I'm not a baby anymore, stop fussing! They all left the room promising to return tomorrow. I then closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Do you guys like the story so far? What do you think of the different perspectives per chapter? What do you think will happen next?

Also, If you think i'm being sexist for the nurse's gender, then what gender do you picture when you think of a nurse? You are exempt from this question if you have ever been in the hospital because then you will be picturing your nurse from then.

And I am sorry my chapters are so short. I only want one perspective per chapter, and I can't seem to be able to make long chapters for some odd reason so you will just have to stick with short chapters, sorry.
