Safe and Sound

The last thing I remember was getting a text from Becky, and then hitting something hard. Now I have no clue where I am. I look around and notice I'm in a large, white room. I look down to see that all my clothes are white also. My hair is cut just below my ears, and I notice I don't have a female anatomy. "Pretty nice, isn't it?" a voice behind me says. I turn around to see a tall, slender man dressed in a black suit and red tie. His brown hair was slicked back and he was clean-shaven. He reminded me of a businessman, although he lacked a suitcase. "Are you God?" I'm taken aback by my voice. The man let out a chuckle and walked towards me. As he got closer I noticed his eyes were glowing. " I'm afraid not. More along the lines of an angel." I nodded. "So you're my guardian angel?" He smiled. " You could say that." He began to walk and gestured for me to follow, which I did.

We walked in silence for a while before a question entered my mind. "Can I ask you something?" He smiled and nodded.

"What is this place?" " Your mind. You're asleep, in a coma, been out for days." I stopped walking. "But I've only been here for a few minutes." Smirking he said, "Time here is different than in the real world." I nodded understandingly. "How did I get here?" His smile faded as he looked at me. "You crashed into a tree while texting your girlfriend. It was pretty bad. You'll be sore for a couple of days." I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Becky's probably freaking out, along with my mom. I let out a shaky breath. " I really messed up this time, didn't I?" His smile returned and he laughed. "Yes, you did. Everyone's worried about you. But you can fix it, if you want to that is." I felt color return to my face.

"How?" " You have two options: You could stay here and live in the right body. No more bullies or being called names." That sounded really good actually. "Although," he continued, "you'll be alone. I won't be here. You can't see your family or friends ever again." I looked down at my white sneakers. "What's the second option?" "You could wake up." I looked up, confusion evident on my face. "It's that easy?" His smile grew bigger. " Yes. The choice is yours, choose wisely." As he finished speaking he slowly faded away. "Hey wait! How do I wake up?" I asked, although he was already gone. I remembered The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy had gotten home. I closed my eyes, and when they opened I could see a blonde headed girl staring back at me.
