How could I have died?
779Please respect copyright.PENANAOBuyLTDB9J
That thought continued to repeat in my mind as I lay on the ground, crying.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ8prXQI18
I knew that it was going to happen,
779Please respect copyright.PENANAyiJIGnMxxw
But I didn't expect it to be so soon.
779Please respect copyright.PENANABEzomsYMap
But that was the thing about death;
779Please respect copyright.PENANA8g9B1M2LNc
It was usually unexpected.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAtwHrFPlYIk
As I cried, I began to feel warmth on my hand.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAKtUPVFm73V
I dismissed it as heat from the tears,
779Please respect copyright.PENANAZY8OXIesOK
Until I felt the same warmth on my forehead.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAywQHwMu3yM
Suddenly, everything around me was slowly getting covered by darkness.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAemYE38Y13i
"What's going on?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANACVfNSLBexT
"Someone help me!" I yelled as the darkness began to surround me.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAKIz1vCAvSl
I inched away, trying my best to escape it,
779Please respect copyright.PENANAeCYEW8a7z7
But it was useless.
779Please respect copyright.PENANACQu1PPTYcS
In the blink of an eye, it engulfed me.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAgYvRmoHvMC
"He's waking up," I heard a female voice say.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAyXqvP95vOo
"Finally, my son has come back."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAEcMn47sTjj
My eyes fluttered open and I was instantly surrounded by bright light.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAPWEL03hadW
I blinked rapidly to adjust and looked around.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAjXjxHz5Ui1
I was back in the hospital room.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA6koeukiJl8
"What happened?" I croaked out, trying to sit up.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAj2bZMDtEwb
"Don't sit sweetie," my mom said, gently pushing me back down.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA8VkDAluPiH
"You were in a coma Leo."
779Please respect copyright.PENANALp3XfjC4MY
My eyes bulged for a moment as I looked from her to the doctor.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAWOXueq98SP
"Is-is that true?" I stuttered.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAQbxe5KaGkf
"I'm afraid so; you were gone for almost six months."
779Please respect copyright.PENANA6XZ8oXrL0n
Six months?
779Please respect copyright.PENANAUGVpDPsmUy
How was that possible when I felt like I had just woke up after a short dream?
779Please respect copyright.PENANAxW79KlH7EU
But I pushed that thought aside as I looked around to find the clock.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAi9WzrZJui4
It was well past 3 o'clock and Alice wasn't here.
779Please respect copyright.PENANADWoE9f2yyt
"Where's Alice?" I frantically asked.
779Please respect copyright.PENANA7WRTyeCZT0
"Alice?" my mother asked in a reminiscent tone.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAqZcHVBiSlC
"She stopped volunteering here," the doctor said, looking at his clipboard intently.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAqyIyJXZbho
"What? Why?"
779Please respect copyright.PENANA4JCeU4Zipw
"She said she couldn't take it. Seeing you in bed for six months must have been too much for her."
779Please respect copyright.PENANAwA5jAKmFx6
As I heard his words, I felt tears pricking my eyes.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAspedfrLQ7g
I didn't feel betrayed by her for leaving;
779Please respect copyright.PENANATmKoz05K1J
Instead, I felt like I had betrayed her by allowing her to see me like this.
779Please respect copyright.PENANANn43It0ffh
That thought filled me with the need to find her.
779Please respect copyright.PENANAD3a1r8w3EA
She had done so much for me,
779Please respect copyright.PENANACwQjprJpoW
And the least I could do was to show her how much she had changed my life.
