A/N: I figured I would just update sooner rather than later. Sorry it took so long.
Living In a Haze
Chapter 3
She felt someone stroking her hand. Softly pleading for her to open her eyes.
Her eyes began to flutter. " Elizabeth, can you hear me"?
Opening her eyes as they adjusted to the lights, she looked at her surroundings.
" Where am I"? Her voice hoarse.
" You were in an accident, I brought you to the hospital".
Turning her head to the unfamiliar voice, her brows knitted in confusion.
" Who are you"?
Shock marred his features. " What do you mean who am I".
Feeling frustrated with the whole confusing situation, she snapped . " I mean who the hell are you, do I know you or something'?
Surprised by her outburst he decided to go get the doctor.
" I am going to go get the doctor, maybe he can explain".
All she could do is nod.
When he was gone she was able to really look at her surrounding.
She was in the hospital, but why?
Groaning as tried to sit up. Her hands examined her body.
Ribs were wrapped up tight. Head was bandaged.
" What the hell". She whispered.
Just then the doctor came in along with the unfamiliar man.
" Hello Elizabeth, I am Dr.Carter and your in Mercy hospital".
" What happened, why am I here"?
" Can you give us a moment, I need to examine her".
" Of course, I will be right outside. The man said.
Once he was gone , Dr. Carter started asking questions.
" What is the last thing you remember"?
Elizabeth began to panic. " I don't know , I can't remember anything other than waking up here".
" What's wrong with me"?
" Well when you were brought in it seems like you suffered some head trauma, from the accident.
" Looks like you have amnesia , it could be temporary".
Shaking her head in understanding, she asked about the man who brought her to the hospital.
" He said he is a friend of yours and found you on the side of the road".
" So he could tell me who I am". Elizabeth said with hope.
" I suppose he can, would you like to see him"?
She nodded.
After speaking to the doctor he came in.
" The doctor say's you can't remember anything".
" No I cant , but if you know me maybe you can help me remember".
Sitting next to her bedside, he took her hand in his.
" Of course I will help you".
Removing her hand out of his hold, she looked at him curiously.
" Wait a minute, how do I know you are not lying. That your not just some psycho that found me"?
Smiling , he did he best to reassure her. " Your name is Elizabeth Webber and I can prove it to you.
" I know right now you have no reason to trust me, but you must know I would never hurt you".
Raising an eyebrow at him she asked " What kind of proof do you have"?
" Well there's pictures I can show you and documents".
" Could you really do that"?
" Absolutely, just give me time and I will get you what you need".
Walking towards the door he turned and said " Just get some rest. I know things are confusing, but I am here for you. Trust me".
Just before he could leave, Elizabeth called out.
" Wait I don't even know your name".
Facing her while holding the door open he responded.
" I'm Ric, Ric Lansing".
