On The Outside Looking In {DISCONTINUED}

Introduction

I get it.

I understand if you want to skip this story.

It's nothing special, only about me.

You may find parts of it a little cliché, but my whole life feels cliché.

Do you have any idea what it's like to wake up and not even know who you are? To not know where you are? To not know how you got there? If you do, then you understand. That's what it was like for me. I was terrified and that was only two weeks ago. If I'm being completely honest, I still am scared. At least the shaking has stopped now. 

I should introduce myself, huh? It's only polite.

The name's Ebony. At least, that's what I was told when I woke up. Right now, as I am typing this probably awful introduction, I'm still sitting in a hospital bed in Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia. I'm crazy bored and waiting for either Tiye or Isaac to come and keep me company. Oh, right, they're my best friends. Or so I was told. Like I said, no memory. It's made this whole situation awkward in more ways than one.

I'll give you the short version of why I'm sitting here, in a hospital. Well, the short version of what I was told. I was in a car crash, in a coma for a year, dead for half an hour, then woke up with no memory two weeks ago. Simple. I don't understand why my friends have made such a big deal over it. Then again, I feel like we used to be close. Well, I used to be close with them. Just between you - the reader - and me, Tiye and Isaac don't exactly see eye-to-eye.

I'm writing this story in case I forget again. I don't want to, but I feel like I might. It's eating away at me. The thing is, even though I'm alive again, I have this nagging feeling that it won't last as long as my friends hope. The other reason I'm writing . . . I like it. It calms me, stops me from feeling like I'm going insane. If I only have a while left, I'm going to write down what happens. It'll help people understand what it was like to start from the beginning. I have no idea how long this story will span. I have no idea if I will even be able to finish it.

Again, I understand if you want to skip this story.

It's nothing special.

It's only about me.
