35. That Hospital

 Eleanor

My eyes flitter open, the blury image of the hospital room falling into place. I glance around my room, half expecting to see someone sitting at my bedside, joy taking over their face because my eyes opened, tears dripping out of their glazed over eyes. But of course, that was just silly, I don't have anyone, my mum is cooped up in a mental health hospital, my father passed, and Louis grinded up my heart to mear dust that he then blew from his open palmed hand. So the sight of the empty chair should not have come as a surprise, yet in my delicate state of just waking up after god knows what, it was quite an upsetting surprise. I rack my brains, trying to think of something that could have happened, yet nothing leaps out of my mind. 

"Ah, morning Eleanor, how are you today?" a preppy nurse asks me, coming in, a smile planted on her elfin face, a tray of toast and what looks like pee but is most likely orange juice, in her hands

"I'm fine, thank you, what am I doing here?" I ask, questions whirling in my head as a sad look is passed onto me,

"Oh yes, sorry I almost forgot," her laugh ricochets through the air,

"Sweetheart, you've been here almost two years," she simpers, symapthy dripping from her sweet as pie voice

"Sorry?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows

"You have a disease called 'Transient Epileptic Amnesia', or TEA, every morning you forget most things in your short term memory loss darling,"

"So I can't remember things after a certain point?" 

"Basically, you were in an accident a while ago and it affected your short term memory, your long term memory is in tact, though can waver at times, but you have been significantly improving, so much so that however we are still unsure whether this will cure itself, we feel like you can go home now, and you will have regular check ups,"

"What was the accident?" I question

"You were in a car on the way to London, and you were hit by a drunk driver,"

"Is that it?" I question

"The driver nearly knocked you off the bridge, you were hanging there for nearly three hours before someone of sane mind found you,"

"Why was I going to London?" I ask

"To see someone apparently, that's what a friend of yours, Danielle, said," 

I nod, furrowing my brows as the final question in my head leaves my lips,

"Who hit me? What happened to them?"

A grim look takes the nurses face

"They were more fortunate than yourself,"

"Who was it?"

"Louis Tomlinson"

I get back to my apartment, Danielle helping me get used t my surroundings

"So why was I going to London?" I ask Danielle

"Cuppa tea?" Danielle asks me, avoiding me question, irritating me slightly

"Dani?" I frown, a pout growing on my lips

A sigh escapes her lips, a hand running through her hair

"Louis granny died, you were going up to see him and make sure he was okay, meanwhile he got pissed and did this to you, goldfish,"

"Sympathy is amazing Dani, thank you,"

"Always m'dear," she winks at me, a smile taking over her face

I am about to reply with something when the doorbell rings,

"I'll get it," Dani tells me as I explore my apartment that apparently i haven't been in for two years,

"ELEANOR," Dani yells

"Yeah?" I call, coming round to the hall, glancing at the door

I do a double take when I see Louis Tomlinson standing there.
