PART 2 - CHAPTER 138 JESS

The first thing I noticed was the sound-sharp, relentless beeping. Then, the smell-disinfectant, sterile, like I was trapped in a box of chemicals. My eyes flew open, and all I saw was white-bright, blinding white-

a ceiling I didn't recognize. I tried to sit up, but my body wasn't cooperating. My arms felt like lead, weighed down by something. I was stuck, trapped.

What the hell?

Panic hit me like a freight train. My chest tightened, breaths coming in quick, shallow bursts. Why couldn't I move? What was wrong with me?

"Jessica, relax," a clear and clinical voice snapped into my foggy brain. I blinked, and there was a woman leaning over me in scrubs. She looked too calm, as if none of this was as messed up as it felt. "You're in the hospital. Just breathe, okay? Deep breaths." Hospital? Why was I in a hospital?

I tried to say something-anything-but my throat felt like it had been scraped raw with sandpaper. The sound that came out was a pitiful croak.

"Don't try to speak yet. You've been through a lot," she said, pushing me back down when I tried to sit up again. "You've been unconscious for a week."
