I opened my eyes and immediately closed them again. The glare from the lights above me were too bright for my eyes to handle. I blinked a couple of times and tried again. This time I managed to focus, but as I looked around me, I had no idea where I was. All I could see were machines and all I could hear was a strange beeping noise.

Suddenly I realised where I was, I was in a hospital room.

“But what am I doing here?”

“Noel, you’re awake?”

I looked to my left, my Mum and Dad were both sitting by the side of my bed.

“What happened? What am I doing here?”

“You’ve been in a coma darling.”

“What do you mean? A coma? How? What happened?”

As my parents began to explain what had happened to me I grew more and more shocked.

“You got into a car crash and because of your injuries there Doctors put you into a coma for a month. Your body needed time to heal, but there’s nothing to worry about, they have said you are fine now.”
