Song: God only knows by For Kings and Country

After all the nurses and the doctor checks me out they leave the room. When the door opens back up I am not that shocked to see my mom but I am. What the hell...I glare at Andy. "You called my mom...I'm not a little kid I can take care of my damn self."

She looks at him and then back over at me. "Sophie...Oh my goodness you...you are awake." She rushes over to hug me as if she has cared about me all these freaking years. Ok...maybe she has and my mind just likes playing tricks on me but still. "Sophie you really...."

I cut her off not caring what she really...has to say, "mom just don't...I don't feel like hearing it. I know...I fucked up this time like always...but apparently I keep doing something wrong because I am still here."

"Well....apparently it's just not your time to leave this world just yet...God has plans for you and he is not done with you yet."

"Since when do you believe in God?"

"Sophie!!!"

"What...and since when did you ok some strange guy to watch over your daughter...seriously mom he could be some crazy psycho do all kinds of weird shit to me while I'm out of it." I glance up to see Andy still in the room.

This pisses my mom off. I watch as she looks up to Andy with sad eyes. "Andy...can you please excuse us...I need to talk to her alone."

He smiles back at my mom and then looks down at the floor. I watch as he gathers up all his belongings. "No problem Jessica...I got to be going anyway, see you tomorrow."

"Yes...and Andy....thank you."

"You're welcome."

When he leaves the room, I know I hit a nerve by the look she gives me. "Look her missy...that man has been nothing but nice to you. He takes time out of his day just to come by here to give you company."

"Yeah...well I didn't ask him too. Who the hell is he anyway, seriously he could be the crazy one and you think I am?"

"You are not crazy Sophie...and he is just a kind soul that took an interest in you."

"An interest...what some kind of sick love thing going on...by the way without my consent." I snap back at her.

"Stop it...just stop it...I am not going to argue with you and I am not getting into this dammit. Andy works here. He was also in a coma a few years ago and he thought he could help you wake up if he came everyday to talk to you. He truly has a kind heart...hell his whole family does. So stop all this BS...we should be thinking of what to do now."

Well I guess it worked...him talking to me...singing to me. I'm awake...hallelujah...praise Jesus...I'm alive. I don't mean to be rude it's just I have been trying to escape this world for years now...every since the voices started getting bad and the visions...I just want it all to end but I know they are still there. I don't hear them at the moment or see them...but I know in the back of my mind they are still there.

I look at my mom and roll my eyes and just shut my mouth because there is no since in arguing with her. She has always managed to get the last word in. She starts talking again and I pretend to fall back asleep. But she keeps on talking until she is done with what she has got to say. I feel her come closer to me and lift the blanket to pull it up over me and she bends over to kiss me on the forehead. "I really do love you Sophie," she whispers.

I wait for her to leave the room before opening my eyes back up. But it's not too long after that that I actually fall back asleep.

The next morning I wake up with the sun shining through this one part in the curtains. I want to get up and close it but again my body doesn't want to work right. I grip the side rails on the bed and pull myself up. Once in sitting I debate on moving over to the edge thinking of what happened last night. I hear someone talking in the corner of the room. I already know that voice when I look up to see Emily sitting there.

"It's good to see you my friend." She smiles at me.

"Emily...oh my goodness...it's so nice to see you again."

"You too...it's been a while...you let him take over again."

"I'm sorry...I will try not to let it happen again. Do you forgive me?"

"Of course I do...so what are you thinking about...getting out of that bed are you?"

"Maybe...the sun is just too bright. I can do it."

"I don't think you should...you fell yesterday and that cute guy just happened to be here to catch you." I watch her stand up and walk over to the door. "Doesn't look like he is here to catch you today though." She laughs.

"I don't need him here to help me out...I can do this my damn self."

"Dear lord...you are so freaking stubborn. That is why I love you." I look over in the other corner and there is Ava leaning up against the wall.

I roll my eyes at her. It's nice to have them here with me. I continue to try to get out of the bed, placing my feet on the super cold tile floor. I ease my way into standing while still holding on to part of the rail. The moment I take the first step, I crash landing on my side. "Dammit to hell why does this have to be so freaking hard." I call out.

Both of them look at me like I should have known better. I know I'm stubborn. I pull myself up into sitting and lean up against the bed. Shit it's not like it's that far to walk....just a few steps and my feet just don't want to corporate. I glace to the door that comes swinging open and there is a nurse with Andy right behind her.

"Oh my goodness...Sophie you need to press the buzzer....honey we would have helped you." Her arms come around one side of me while he helps from the other side.

 I feel s so freaking useless...All I wanted to do is take like six steps over to the window to shut the damn thing.

"If you wanted to work out you should have said so...we could go down to the therapy room." He shoots me a crooked smile with a wink of the left eye.

"Oohhh....Andy you are my hero..." Snickers Emily. I glare at her but I don't say anything. I wait for the nurse to leave and of course he stays behind.

"So do you want to try therapy today?"

"Yeah....therapy...Sophie...I bet I could find things for him to work on." Ava bursts out laughing and then Emily chimes in. Both are cackling like crazy. "

Shut the hell up." I tell both of them and Andy gives me a look. "Shit...not you sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud."

"Would you rather for me to leave...I mean you can stay her bored to death all day."

"Seriously...that was not intended for you. I...I was just talking to myself."

"I already know about the voices...it's alright if you talk to them with me here."I look over at Emily and then back towards the window where Ava is sitting in the chair before looking back up at him.

"My mom told you."

He nods his head.

"Great...just freaking great. My mom by the way doesn't understand anything. She has never believed me so why should I believe that you do?"

"Look...I'm just here to help you out." He pulls out the wheelchair. "Come on let's get out of here."He reaches over me and helps me stand just long enough to sit back down in the chair. Then he opens the door and wheels me out. We go down the long hallway and he is right everywhere I look are older people. I have got to be like the only one that is so young up in here.

We come to the room and I watch a few people working out, doing different things. He wheels me around to a pair of parallel bars. "Well let's do this."

I just look at him as if he is the crazy one. "Now you want me to stand?"

"You managed to get out of bed...surely you can pull up on these bars."

I roll my eyes at him but do it. Maybe if I can get walking...I can get out of here. I place both hands on the bars and pull myself up and make my way down the bars and then turn and make my way back.

"Wow...impressive...you will be back to normal in no time."

Normal...I don't think so. I will never be normal I want to tell him but I don't. I turn and go back down a few more times before I decide to let go all together. I go slow but then feel like I can do it...so I do. I go back down and up a few more time and glare at him with a smirk on my face.

"Should we try some other things?"

"Sure why not." He shows me the treadmill so I get up and go slow. I walk for like five minutes and I am already ready to give out.

"You ready to go back to your room?"He walks over to get the wheel chair.

"I think I can walk if that is alright with you?"

"Sure...if you feel like walking all the way back." He walks by my side.

Halfway down the hallway I see Emily and Ava watching. Ava rolls her eyes and then sticks out her leg as I am walking past her causing me to trip and almost falling over. Arms come around me, stopping me right before landing on the cold tile floor. "What the hell...seriously grow the fuck up." I hiss at her.

"I didn't do that...by the way."

I close my eyes and grit my teeth. They are doing this on purpose and it is really starting to piss me off. "I was talking to myself again...I'm always tripping over my own feet." Maybe he will buy it.

He doesn't say anything as he opens the door to my room and helps me back into the bed. He then hands me a tray with food on it and opens the lid. "Yum...that looks really good."

"If you say so...you want a bite?"

He smirks. "I already ate this morning...but thank you anyway. So I am going to get going. If you need me or one of the nurses please buzz them alright and I will swing back by later if that is alright."

I watch as he leaves the room and the two of them start to giggle... "I think he likes you."

"Yeah...yeah...yeah...why did you have to trip me...seriously grow up."

"Ok...it was a pity move...but come on it got him to catch you. He really likes you by the way."

"And...just because he likes me doesn't mean that I like him."

"Yeah...alright we will see."I take a few bites and then push the tray aside. I close my eyes for a brief moment and drift off to sleep.

When I wake up a nurse is in there checking things out. "Good afternoon Sophie...I brought you lunch."

"Thanks."

"Do you need anything before I leave?"

"Uhm....actually I could use the bathroom."

"Ok...do you need any help?""

I think I can manage." But she stays in the room to make sure I can. I take the few steps and open the door and close it. I'm sitting there looking at the shower and think that it sounded so nice. "Do you think it will be possible to take a quick shower?" I ask her, barely cracking the door open.

"Sure..would you like some help?"

"I think I can do it." I jump in and wash my hair then my body. God the water actually feels amazing.

When I get out and open the door the nurse is gone but someone else is sitting in the chair.

"Mom....hi."

"Good afternoon...you look amazing...you are getting around so well."

I nod my head.

"How has your day been?"

"Fine I guess...can't wait to get out of her."

"Yeah...about that..."
