Michael POV

“Michael... Michael please wake up. I can't take it anymore! I can't... I can't take your silence anymore. I'm suffering Michael. I forgive you for the hurtful things you've said to me. I don't blame you for that. If it wasn't for my screw up you'd still be here talking... laughing. Don't make me blame myself for another. I won't be able to live with it. Even if you don't wanna see my face after you wake up..it won't matter...”.

“At least you'll be alive and well... Please...just wake up”.

My eyes shot open, breathing heavily through my nostrils.

Akeilia.

I shut my eyes due to the brightness of the room.

Akeilia.

I said, but realized that it wasn't from my mouth. I tried to open them, but they only trembled. They feel weak. I feel weak.

I opened my eyes again blinking a few times, waiting for my pupils to adjust.

My legs...Why can't I move? I tried to look at them but it's difficult to see down there. It hurts my neck.

I look all over the room for Akeilia...Or anyone.

Where is everyone?

I shut my eyes for all the memories of what happened to me keeps flooding back. The accident.

How long have I been like this?

I have a strong feeling that there are more that I should remember.

Why the hell can't I move? Or speak?

I tried to raise my body but it didn't move? Am I paralysed? I can't be.

I found myself panicking. Breathing heavily, trying to move again. My hand budge. Just one of them. Why just one?

I look at the other, then I realized there's a plaster around it. I'm now trying to move my feet.

Shit!

It's no use.

How long have I been here?

“Michael”. I look at the direction of the voice. By the time my eyes reached, whoever it was wasn't there, but the door was open. Even though I wasn't sure if it was open or not. I hope I'm not going insane.

I put my focus back to my body.

C-Come on!

After about a minute or less I stopped, resting to go again.

“Michael!” Mom?

“My baby”. I look to the direction of her voice. I see her rushing towards my bed. Followed by.. Wendy, then some more people. I don't see Leon or Monique.

It's good to know I'm not dead. Even though I could be dead, because I have no idea of what death feels like.

“Thank god your awake”. Mom gently rest her hand over me crying. I look at everyone. Smiles on there faces. Everyone taking turns of hugging me, smiling and rejoicing. Buy the look of this, I must have been here a very long time.

I frown.

Why does Sara have a bandage around her head?

I'm looking at everyone here. Every single faces, but just one important face is missing.

Where is? I tried to say, but still no words. I suddenly feel how dry my throat is. Mom must have seen me trying to speak. I saw her looked at my mouth.

“Somebody get me a glass of water!” She ordered while sobbing.

I can't even open my mouth to speak. How am I gonna open it to drink.

Is Akeilia ok? Or moreover...alive?

I swallowed terrified.

Soon Shantel brought the water to my mother.

“Can everyone give us a moment?” Mom said while looking at me.

I don't like the look on her face? Did something happen?

Of course idiot. You met in an accident. She's your mother. She fears for your life.

Everyone started to leave. Debra, Sara and Wendy didn't move. “Can I stay? Please?” Wendy pleaded? Mom look back at her.

“Alright dear, but no other”. Mom said before looking back at me. Sara and Debra expressed shock. The three ladies looking at each other.

What happened?

Debra and Sara look at mom, then me before walking off.

“I'm gonna open your mouth for you. Prepare yourself to swallow. I'm gonna give you a little update about yourself”. I frown. Update about myself?

“Wendy can you manage to raise his head?”  Wendy walk bedside the bed. She slid her hands behind my head. Due to the softness of the pillow her hands were able to go behind it easily.

Mom parted my lips, which feels really odd. She poor a little water in my mouth. I swallowed as soon as it hits my throat.

“You must be wondering if your dumb.. but your not. You were in coma for over two months. You most likely won't be able to talk for a couple hours. It depends on how fast your brain reacts to your body”. She smiled at me. I see why she's such a good doctor. Just the softness of her voice and her expression is soothing.

She started to brush my hair backwards. Speaking of hair, my face feels...bushy.

“However, you had internal bleeding”. My eyes widened. What?

“But they were able to stop it. There were no broken bones inside, thankfully. But you have a broken arm”. That explains the plaster around it. Shit internal bleeding? That means I actually touched death's door.

Her face suddenly went sad, she look down with a sniff.

“Also..Your legs were completely fractured...You won't be able to walk again”. No. That cannot be true.

“You won't be able to do the things you used to...I..I can't believe this”. I swallowed trying to process what she just told me. My heart pounding loudly.

“Son I'm...I'm kidding”. She started to laugh and so did Wendy. I shut my eyes in relief. I swear I was going to have a heart attach.

“You really got him there”. Wendy remarked.

“Told you I would get you”. She look at me with laughter in her eyes.

It took you this long mom.

“One of your leg was broken. It has already started to heal. It'll be fine in a few months”. When I was a kid, she usually tried to frighten me, but she never succeeded because her way of frightening someone sucks. She promised me that one day she would. I have to say, she succeeded. I need my legs.

She fed me some more water before she stand. Wendy did too.

“Don't think your gonna stay in bed all day young man. Your gonna have to start exercising that arm and leg. But first we're gonna have to get you out of the plasters and I'm gonna clean you up. Your face looks worst than one of a leprechaun”. Really? I can't believe she just compared me to a leprechaun.

Why haven't she said anything about Akeilia?

One thing I know for sure is that she's alive. Mother wouldn't be so cheery if she wasn't. The moment I'm able to speak I'll ask her.

It's gonna be embarrassing having my mother looking at my private. She better not mention this to anyone anywhere.

Just give your thoughts about this chapter.👍 thanks.
