AN: Sorry about the long wait. I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue, but here I am now. I'll try to update as much as I can. I know this is short, and they will get longer. I promise. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter! Please leave feedback in comments and if you see a mistake just let me know. Thank you!

We were heading outside of the hospital when then the security guard stopped us. "Mam, may I see your permission to leave the building?" My mom took the slip out of her pocket and handed it to him. He nodded and returned the paper, "Have a nice day, glad you're okay Annie." How did he know my name if he was just a security guard. Did everyone know me here?  I shook it off, Adam must of called and told them I was leaving of course. As soon as I took a step out side, it felt like a new world and nothing could stop me. Usually in this case my heart would be beating extremely fast of excitement but there was nothing at all. Really, how is this possible at all. I don't understand nor does anyone else though. 

 My mom couldn't stop looking at me and if she stopped it was to make sure there was nothing awkward going on. She looked so much older than to what I remember, maybe this hospital thing has caused a lot of stress. The same can go for my dad, he had actually grown out a beard. "Where did we park the car now," my dad asked.

 "Uh, I don't remember actually hear, maybe if I press the unlock button we can hear it, " my mom said. She pressed the unlock button on the remote connected to the keys. We all heard a beep and saw a flashing light. We started to head towards that way, and there it was my red MINI Cooper. I wonder why they brought that instead of the minivan. I knew that since I just got out of the hospital there had to be regulations of me driving for a bit, so I didn't even bother to ask. My dad actually insisted of driving, and my mom to sit in the back with me. "We are cooking your favorite meal to night honey, spaghetti."

"Really? I thought you guys hated spaghetti," I replied.

 "Well, tonight I will and I know that I will love it as much as I love you. Also we have a guest coming over tonight, I know that you might want it to just be us. I thought it was the least thing we could do after all he has done," she replied.

  "Oh no, really it's okay. Well who is it though?"

  "Doctor Adam, he's been very stressed and has been at the hospital for so many hours watching over you. I think he really deserves it, that's no problem is it?"

I knew it, if there was a day my mom wasn't so kind I would probably be dead. I showed a little smile. "No problem at all, I mean he is the only reason I'm alive still." She began to start talking to my dad again so I got out my phone to see what's been going on in this world. I was surprised my parents kept the service on my phone. I looked though my text messages and there was a number I've never recognized before. I mean I don't remember much though so it might be someone I met before my accident. 

 We finally arrived to my house, I didn't even bother to take my stuff inside and I ran up to my bedroom. I was actually surprised to see everything was in the exact spot that I left it in. I looked through my closet to find clothes that actually might fit me. I picked out just some skinny jeans that use to be way to tight, but now fit like a glove and then a green t-shirt.

 I went to the bathroom to go put some product into my hair so it wouldn't be frizzy. There was a picture of me from this year hanging up in the corner of the mirror. I took it down and I looked so different. I use to hate my body, but now I realize how much I miss it. I put the picture in the top drawer and slammed it hard. I heard the door bell ringing, realizing that it must have been Adam. As I was coming down stairs to greet him, my mom was in the middle of saying my name. "I'm here, I'm here. No need to yell." I looked around but didn't see anybody in the welcoming room. I walked into the living room and everyone was sitting down. They were all talking but as soon as they saw me, they were quiet. Alright, just make it more obvious that you were talking about me. 

 "Well this is, awkward. Hey Annie, I guess you think that we were talking about you. Well you're right. I was telling them that I put the research on your heart on my own time and will not be affiliated with the hospital. I was making sure that was okay, because the hospital does not know about it, which is illegal." 

  I looked at my parents and they looked at me. My mom finally said something, "Honey, I think it is a good idea. He will need to see you more often probably, but it's for the best. It's your decision though, so if you need time to think it's alright."

"I want you to know, I respect your answer. It won't be dangerous and I'll make sure nobody knows anything, except for you and your parents. So that means you guys can't tell anybody either," Adam said.

"Well, I would like to know myself. So my answer is, yes."

"That's good to hear, now let's not worry about it too much and eat this amazing meal your mother made," Adam replied. We all headed to the dining room, the plates were all laid out and the spaghetti with garlic bread were in a bowl. I sat down right across Adam, I then got a plate of spaghetti. There was only short conversations about the adults' professions so I just listened it.

After an hour passed, he was gone and my parents were cleaning up. I headed back to my room to go lay down. I turned on my phone and decided to text my boyfriend, Josh. As I was about to send the text I started to thing. Are we even still a couple, I don't know how long I was in that hospital. Also people move on, but we never technically broke up. It was already late, so I knew there wouldn't be a reply. So I texted him, "Hey Josh, you're probably surprised to see this text. I got out of the hospital today and it would be really nice to see you soon. Goodnight, text me when you can!

A few minutes later, I fell asleep. I woke up around three o'clock from a nightmare. Someone was chasing after me. I couldn't make out a face or remember it. Is this how I got in this whole situation? I took out my journal and wrote it down. I proceeded to go back to sleep and slept fine for the rest of the night.
