Is this what it felt like to die?
No pain, no feeling, nothing. I tried to fight off the heaviness upon me, trying to force me to collapse.
I recited my prayers in my heart, and kept urging my body to keep working.
It could have been hours, or seconds passing. I heard faint noises, as if someone was calling my name.
The noises got louder, as if someone was turning the volume up on a television. ''Sara!'' I head a boy's voice call out. ''Sara, don't worry, were almost at the hospital!''
I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. It was the worst feeling in the world. I wanted to tell the person that I was alive.
I was slowly starting to regain my awareness, the numbness slowly draining out of my body. I could hear the blood rushing to my head, pulsing through my veins. I felt someone pick me up, and start running. I still couldn't open my eyes, so I had no idea where we were going.
I heard more people talking, my brain not being able to process what they were saying.
I must have fell asleep, because I woke up in a big, bright hospital room.
I tried sitting up, but there were too many wires attached to me, I couldn't move. I looked around, and I saw Shoug, Amal, and Yousef all on the couch, watching me.
Their eyes all lit up when they saw me open my eyes, and they all quickly rushed by my side. Yousef went to go call the doctors, and Shoug started crying, her mascara running down her face. Amal quickly came to hold my hand, asking if I was okay.
Soon, three doctors in crisp white lab coats flooded into the room. One of the male doctors walked towards me, getting out his clipboard.
''Sara Al X, correct?'' He said in a thick British accent. He was tall, around 6'5, had grey hair, and had big thick glasses, similar to Ray Bans, but much more sophisticated. I read his name tag. Dr. Wolff.
''Um, yes. That's me.'' I said, my throat feeling dry.
''Well, Sara, You have been in a coma for two weeks.'' He said, and my mouth formed a big 'o'.
''Two weeks? How had I been unconscious for two weeks? What happened?!'' I frantically asked the doctor, my breathing pace quickly picking up. Yousef quickly came and stood next to me, trying to calm me down.
''Well, it seems as if you were poisoned, and your brain shut down in order to protect itself.'' He stated simply.
I remembered when I was at Rama's party, and Boshra went to get me something to drink. What was in that drink? Had she done this to me? Or was it Rama? All these questions were buzzing through my head, causing me to feel a sting of pain.
''Where is my dad? Where's Fahad?'' I asked, looking at Yousef, Shoug, and Amal.
''Your dad's on his way with Mariam, Fahad and Aziz. Everyone else is on their way as well.'' Yousef said in a soothing voice, trying to calm me down.
''Well, we'll give you some time to rest, and you can go home in two days.'' Dr Wolff said, and walked out of the room.
Shoug came to quickly hug me, tears dropping on my A&F tee shirt. Then she went to Amal, quickly pulling her out of the room. ''We'll be outside, tell us if you need anything!'' She said, elbowing Amal in the stomach, and she quickly followed Shoug out of the room.
I heard the door click shut, and then Yousef turned to me, his eyes sparkling in joy and relief.
''I'm so glad you're awake, I missed you so much.'' He said, grabbing a chair and coming to sit next to me.
''Yousef, what happened?''
