It had been a week since I woke up from my coma.
752Please respect copyright.PENANArdESA6OUF1
And as I stood in line at a flower shop, I couldn't help but to reminisce about the last week.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAKVarHMyjjK
I had spent the whole week begging the doctors and nurses to tell me where Alice lived.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAwYKChqPV5E
And after I received her address, I began a new cycle of begging;
752Please respect copyright.PENANAIGXwL11iHo
This time for the chance to be discharged early.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAHAUGFpa3sE
After spending days pathetically asking, they finally allowed me to leave a few days earlier.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAXVEosWF6jY
I couldn't describe how great it felt,
752Please respect copyright.PENANAXPrF4pzgiH
Leaving the one place where I was told I would die.
752Please respect copyright.PENANANHd78eEAPa
I gave the cashier enough money and walked out with the flowers.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAXjhJj0Wvy2
A small smile fell on my lips when I saw my mother waiting for me in the car, smiling at me.
752Please respect copyright.PENANA0zJp4CFayb
Ever since I had left the hospital, the way she treated me had changed dramatically.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2J7WSl8t2
But my brother and father were another story.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAhxo0XsoTvI
"Ready?" she asked me.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAbCfylfzulJ
I nodded as I put on my seatbelt and took a handwritten card that I had spent many hours writing.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAY4WSxZMuLd
I didn't know what to say;
752Please respect copyright.PENANArJuXzAoiDP
I was just so grateful that it felt like there were no words which could do justice in describing how I felt.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAxeZLbhE1da
No too long after, we arrived at the house which matched the address I was given.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAZHYpSSpoU7
I took a deep breath before leaving the car,
752Please respect copyright.PENANAXAmOtRknxM
Feeling my heart pounding as I got closer,
752Please respect copyright.PENANAfDlYRXJinj
Hoping that she would be there.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAqfWXTbOHo3
I rang the doorbell and waited.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAL0iHYOtX5i
A middle aged looking woman opened the door with a large smile; a smile which reminded me of Alice.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAHczmUN1Ke2
"May I help you?" she asked, looking at the flowers and card in my hands.
752Please respect copyright.PENANA545uooCQeg
"Is Alice home?" I asked her nervously.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAepSZNygTeR
"Yes, may I know your name?"
752Please respect copyright.PENANAGAefqWcQ9G
"Leo."
752Please respect copyright.PENANAqx4BzRuZj6
I was looking down at the ground when I smelled a familiar perfume, causing me to look up.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAKktPhq8kVY
"Do I know you?" she asked puzzled.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVVQl0kvY
I felt my heart get heavy with disappointment.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAk0OV14vRqQ
"It's me, Leo."
752Please respect copyright.PENANATigNp7g5u5
How could she not recognise me?
752Please respect copyright.PENANAcsSIBsp7mk
"I only know one Leo and he doesn't look like you."
752Please respect copyright.PENANAquSkBnVefg
I saw tears begin to pool around her eyes before she looked down and wiped them away.
752Please respect copyright.PENANAzttwjGSJ0k
"But Alice, it's me."
752Please respect copyright.PENANATIjhO6MRqo
"Please just stop. Leo's gone. The doctors told me there was a very small chance that he was going to survive."
