Delia wakes up in the hospital

My eye’s flicker. People are surrounding me. Lots of white coats and blue scrubs. ⁣⁣

“Hi, Delia, I’m Doctor Mitchell, this is Dr. Smith. I’m your surgeon and he’s consulting on the case.” ⁣⁣

I clear my throat and feel pain. I whisper, “Where?” ⁣⁣

“You’re in the hospital dear, you’ve been in an accident.” ⁣⁣

I close my eyes and remember riding in the car. We’d left Rose’s dance recital and were on the way home. I remember the lights coming toward us showing no signs of stopping. ⁣⁣

“My family?” ⁣⁣

Both doctors look around my face but not in my eyes. Something bad happened. ⁣⁣

“You’re doing well, your vitals look good.” ⁣⁣

“My family?” I say again. ⁣⁣

Dr. Mitchell looks at Dr. Smith and they both frown. ⁣⁣

“A social services worker will be in soon,” Dr. Mitchell replies.⁣⁣

What the hell does that mean?
