I had barely gotten any rest that week after Nick had died. I laid in the hospital bed looking up to the dark ceiling covered by the dark shadows that came from the window, the only light that came through the window would be the passing cars on the busy road. I laid on the hard hospital bed while the room temperature was cold all around, I tried my best not to think about Nick's dark red blood that had gotten all over my hands from holding him for the last time ever that night. The thought of Nick still being there with me Alive, felt so surreal. I wanted to know what it felt like to be held by him again, just one last time with his presence with me would mean the world to me. But then again… Nick was my world, and without him, what was I? Maybe if i'm lucky I would be a star but without my world how am I supposed to shine? I felt a tear run down my cold cheeks that Nick kissed at one point in our relationship before his passing. I didn't even care at this point, I felt like I had nothing to live for anymore without Nick, He was the only one keeping me from my dark place… he was my light to my darkness. My eyes were heavy from the lack of sleep I haven't been getting, I couldn't sleep even how much I wanted to… then maybe for a couple of hours I couldn't feel this empty hole in the center of my chest that hurt so badly. At some point that night I couldn't cry anymore. Let's say I had no more tears to cry, I was too exhausted at that point… I didn't want to feel anymore, Nick was the only one that made me want to feel these types of emotions. Maybe an hour went by until I flipped to my side so now I wouldn't be facing the damn roof. My nose was stuffy and all I could hear were the beeps of the machines coming from the other rooms beside and in front of mine that I was currently in… It was starting to get annoying. But nothing could be more annoying than that time when me and Nick were in the car driving to a beach and Nick would say “Are we there yet?” like 10 times in the course of 30 seconds. But it was fine because I loved him and didn't really care if he was annoying at times because that's what made Nick, Nick… The person I once loved and cared so deeply about. My eyesight started to fade into darkness and as soon as I knew it, I fell asleep thinking about Sappy.
...
I woke up to low and quiet voices talking at my side, and at first I just thought it was people outside of my room, until I opened my eyes very slightly. The sun was blaring through the windows and then into my sore and wet eyes from crying the previous night. As soon as my eyes started to adjust to the bright sunlight, I noticed that Dream and my doctor were talking about something that I didn't know of because I had just woken up not even 5 minutes ago. I moved my left leg very slowly to the edge of the bed because that was my leg with my broken ankle. It seemed to catch the attention of Dream, he cuted the conversion and walked over to my bedside.
“Karl, you're awake! I've been waiting for you to get up.” Dream said looking down at me,
I Took a minute to respond since I wasn't fully awake yet,
“Yeah...What time is it?” I replied rubbing my eyes,
“Uh it is 10:48 AM.” He answered pulling out his phone,
“Ok thanks.” I said looking to my right because Dream was on my left. It was hard to look at him,
“So we can take him home later today.” Dream asked to the doctor,
“Uh yes! But when you do take him home, just make sure that he isn't on his ankle that much… he needs to make sure that he doesn't walk on it and we will provide crouch's so it's easier for Karl to move places.” The doctor said smiling to Dream,
“I will make sure of that… thanks.” Then the doctor left the room leaving me and Dream alone, there was a second of silence,
…
“So Karl… you get to go home later today.” Dream said taking a seat on the chair beside my bed with a faint smile on his face,
“That's good to know.” I said not facing Dream,
