Hospital Rule

As I started to wake up, I found myself in a hospital bed, with an IV stuck in my hand, and my head had a bandage on it. I rubbed my head to ease the pain. How did I even  get here? I asked myself. Then I looked around the small hospital room, and found a small information card on the side of the bed. I picked it up and read it, it said
~Year: 2025

Place of Region: Hamptonsville, USA
Name: Jennie Foregood
Occupation: student
Place of Occupation: Hamptonsville High School~
I didnt understand, what happened to my, why do do I have a bump on my head, how did I end up here. There were so many questions that were racing my mind that I was getting dizzy, and that wasnt a good thing. I called the nurse in to help me get up so I could get some air, but as she was walking into the hosptital room, she sort of gilded, not in a gracful way, but almost as if she was in somesort of daze. Her eyes had a stare to them, and her smile looked as if it would never go away. It was the stangest thing. Once she was in the room I ask her if she could help me up so I could get some air, and all she said did was open my windows. I figured it was no use getting upset over I was probably too tired anyways to walk. Before the nurse left I decided to ask her why I was here.
"Umm, excuse me. Can I ask you a question, why am I here, what happened to me?" I asked.
The nurse turned with her  creepy smile, still painted on her face and said " You had an accident, and the doctors are working on a solution"
"What do you mean 'accident'? And what do you mean theyre working on a solution, solution for what?! What happened to me?!" I began to scream, out of frustration.
The nurse didnt even answer me, she just glided away, as if she never heard me. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. I was tired, frustated, confused and scared out of my wits. That night I was quietly crying myself to sleep, when I heard something, it was a whisper. I turned to my side where the curtian divider was, and I peeked through slightly, and was suprised to see a face staring back at me.
The face was that of a boy who I used to go to school with, he left in the middle of our sophmore, no one knew why, we just knew that he left. It was quiet again, then he said something.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" he aksed
"I should ask you the same thing, and besides I couldnt tell you anyways, I still not sure how I got here" I whispered with a sort of sigh.
"Well, I'm here because of my parents, they sent me here, they thought i was sick or something, but whatever it beats school." he said
"But you know something that i heard, while your were still asleep, i heard the nurses say that you fell on you had and youve been in a coma for almost a week and a half" he said
I gasped, a coma, I was in a coma, hearing that made cry even more.
" Don't be uspet, just get used to it." he said
"What do mean, get used to it, now that i'm awake theyll be sending me home, right?" I asked
Even though it was dark I could see him shaking his head.
"You still haven't figured it out have you?'' he asked
Of course not I've only been awake for a day.
"You not going anywhere, no ones coming to come and pick you up to take you home. This is youre home now and from now on." he said
I didnt believe him " What do you mean?"
He turned to his side "Once youre admitted to this hospital, and you realize that things are a little screwy, not the way their supposed to be, you stay here and dont leave." he said
"But I still dont understand" i asked
" Look you were in the clear for going home, until you flipped on the nurse asking her questions. Now they know that youve seen things for what they really are and they cant let you leave becuase theyre afriad that youll tell people that its all one big TRANCE.  Now do you get it?" he said, sounding kind of agrivated.
I couldnt sleep a wink that night, I jsut kept replaying the events of the day over and over again in my head. I wanted to go home, but I know that I can never go home.
