    disinfectant, and the ringing phone all assaulted my senses.


    I let out a startled cry, “Ah!”


    ‘She’s awake! She’s awake!”


    I gasped heavily, feeling as though the surroundings were suffocating me.


    ‘Chlo, are you okay? Chlo…”


    I turned to the voices and saw my mother’s tearful and anxious eyes. Lauren was by her side,


    supporting


    her arm. My father stood nearby with red–rimmed eyes.
