A Different World

I opened my eyes to the constant beeping around me and the hushed voices of two people standing over me. I tried to stand but my  head suddenly felt dizzy, so I rested my back, holding my head.

"Where am I?" I asked, hearing footsteps close to me.

"In a hospital. You lost consciousness."

I pressed my eyelids close, my head banging. "Where is...my mum? Is she here?"

There was slight hesitation, before the man answered. "Your mum didn't come here. It was your dad, and he said he has an important event to go to."

I finally opened my eyes and looked around me. Computers that continued beeping, a drip that was inserted into my body, and the doctor. A man who looked to be in his early forties was holding a snall notepad. I could see the nurse peering over his shoulder at me.

"What am I doing at a hospital?"

"You lost consciousness." He repeated, then handed the notepad to the nurse.
