Hope's POV

I woke up gasipng for air feeling my moth dry as i looked around i was in blue hospital gown sitting up through my window something passed quickly i stood up unplugging the tubes heading to the door i unlocked looking in the main hall i saw a lady turn the corner i run up to her , i tapped on her sholder she looked familiar though turning around

" Mom is that you " i asked with a teary voice , "its me sweetheart , come give me mama a hug " she said to me. its hard without you with me i know darling but i am always here with , you still got a life to live and i know you are stronger than you think she hugged tight as i cried in her God i missed her so much she ended the hug as she walked out of the door '' Mom please don't leave her " i cried to her as i started waking up from my dream , someone kept flashing bright lights in my eyes blinding me

" Hi my name is Zandhil , i am the doctor in charge of you am going to ask you a few question to examine you , do you remember your name , i replied with a nod as he kept asking me i looked around trying to figure out where i was he answered me as if reading my mind , you are in the Royal Ottawa hospital in canada " what ? in canada how did i reach?" i remember being in a refugee camp how the heck did i travel here who gave the permission i started loosing it as i screamed . The door to my room opened as Ngabo entered , i gasped with pure shock and run up to him bumping , he held me in hug for a good minute i couldn't believe who i was seeing my uncle was here with me ,The doctor walked out giving us privacy

" How are you feeling right now ?" he asked telling to go back to bed as i sat there , " I am okay just thirsty " i told him as he told me to wait inside he grab a bottle of water for , A nurse entered with a tray of food and a glass of water as i gulped it down telling i wasn't to hungry she forced me to eat a few spoons that i need it to recover , her name was Riya she seemed nice and easy to chart with i felt comfartable around her , she told me to get some sleep i lay down relaxing falling a sleep directly i was to tired to even wait for him .

I woke up to the sound of two people charting , My uncle and Riya i smiled as i sat down Riya got it as clue to leave , he sat on the chair right beside me saying " finally you are awake " he said to as relived , he filled me up with everything and how scared he was about me not surviving the surgery . he told me they were going to discharge me in the morning and we hed to the hotel to book the flight back to Rwanda i frooze as i couldnt believe what he was saying , in my mind everything was a mess i can't go back , i wasn't ready yet. He left me to go get changed , right there i decided i would escape and leave the hospital.

I kept thinking about how I will escape not knowing where I was as I only knew which room I was in I managed to steal Riya’s card as she brought in a tray of food, it was dark outside as I looked in the window

Left only three hours to go i rest my head on the headboard as I counted till I was so sure they all left i stood up from the bed, i pecked at my window door to make sure no one was in the hall I opened the door slowly not to alert anyone looking right to left I held my dress robe tight to my body as I felt cold my heart was racing so fast as I went through the hall passed the reception and saw the stairs and run down heading there reaching the bottom I heard a sound running to the nearby door and hid there it looked like a storage room, the security guard walked around with a flashlight, I waited there until I was sure he left proceeding to come out on the count of five I opened the door running to the entrance.

I run to the door marked “Entrance “ thankful the guard didn’t close it then i turn right and run for my life i know i looked crazy with a hospital gown in the streets but people here didn't even turn to look at me i stopped when i realized i was far away from the hospital took a turn the left heading in a strange alley seeing a guy smoking fear creeped in me and i started thinking this was a bad idea to have left in the first place i was in a foreign country i wouldn't know how to communicate with anyone here i sat down near a garbage i was freezing to death i didn't have anything to keep me warn as scary as it was i feared going back home than staying here in the streets it was far safe here I layed down there in the pavement and fell a sleep
