There was no one around, yet I felt a metaphorical set of eyes fall on me. I felt as if on the spotlight, the center of attention but I didn't exactly know how to react.
Grandparents? I wasn't sure if I heard it correctly. The sound of it kept ringing in my ears. This was all too sudden to be true."Harris?" Alex asked as he stepped through the door frame and entered the room, "What happened?"I didn't know what exactly I should be doing now but his concern towards my sudden pause made me overwhelmingly guilty.He put his hands on my shoulders. "Look at me," He said, and I reluctantly looked up. His eyes were burning with determination. "What happened? Are you okay?"I managed to shrug. "I don't really know," I finally said, "It just felt so sudden, as if I'd been hit by a truck.""I thought you'd be excited," Alex said, "I'm sorry. What do you want to do?"I knew if I said I didn't want to meet them Alex would get pretty disappointed and that would bug me. Besides that, I didn't know why I was acting paranoid. Sure, after waking up from a coma with no memories whatsoever, I discovered that I have lost my parents but have grandparents, but it didn't seem like a good excuse to be so shocked. The truth was slowly setting in and I just had to accept it."No, no," I started, "I want to see them."He smiled at me and shook me with his powerful hands. Then he took me to a waiting room near the lobby. While I was at the door, he put a firm hand on my shoulder and wished me luck. I was all alone after that. I leaned closer to the door and I heard muffled voices. I hesitated whether to enter or not. I hated uncertainties, not that I had experienced a lot and remembered them but because it puts you in a really vulnerable position. The moment I turn the doorknob and walk into the room, my life could go in completely different ways.Would Ines or Alex help me out if something goes wrong?I realized I had no one I could depend on. No freaking soul on earth would tend to me when things go wrong. Deciding it was time to seek new hope, I turned the doorknob and walked right in.
