Painful Life

Life Worth Living?

Chapter 9

Numbers

I woke up to hear the Monitor beep one long continuous noise. I got up from the chair I was sitting in to look over my body. It was weird. I could look into my own body! I saw my rib cage and my heart. It wasn't moving. It was just slowly loosing its glow. It was slowly turning gray. I felt doctors and nurses flow past me. I looked at my forehead and saw something weird.

Numbers.

I had numbers on my forehead. It had a 0. I wondered what it ment. I turned to look at everyone else. They didn't have any numbers... I only saw mine. I felt something burn my at my toes. I looked down to see my feet burning up like paper in a campfire.

"Clear!" The doctor yelled and shocked me 3 times until I responded to the Monitor. The burning stopped and disappear. my feet came back.

I looked at my heart burst to that glow again and beat. I looked at my forehead and saw the numbers refresh to 5.

5?

"Almost lost yourself?" I heard a familiar voice ask.

"Klara?" I turned to see Clara walking toward me.

"Yep..." She looked down at my body and then at me. She sighed and walked away from the bed.

"Come on.... This place is depressing..." She walked into the wall and through to the next room. I followed her and saw her laying on the bed.

She was in a coma too.

"Its been a year since I've seen my fiance." She sighed. I stared at the ring on her finger. Her spirit and her body.

"I haven't lived for 2 years. Being stuck in a coma for this long makes you worry.... Makes you feel left out.....I found out a week ago that my fiance..... moved on and is with a girl named Anna." I looked and saw that she was crying a bit. Then I relized.

"....wait....Kyle?" I asked. She starred at me.

"How'd you know?"

"I-.....Guessed" I lied.

I starred at her body and relized. Her heart was the same as mine, and she had numbers on her forehead. 4.

"Hey you have-"

"A 4 on my head? I know. You have one too."

"What does it mean?"

"How long we have until we're... gone...."

I stopped.

I had 5...days...

"Don't worry. Its better than this place." She sighed.

I walked back to my room and sat down with Klara.

I looked at Hunter that sat next to me. I placed my hand over his and leaned my head on his shoulder.

I felt his heart beat and it made me feel safe and warm.

"So, Alice will be fine. She's stable, so call us if anything happens."

I felt a cold change when the nurse walked in. I looked at Hunter and saw a change.

He had met that love at first sight.

He felt cold and locked off.

He fell for the young nurse.
