After 5 days

Ugh my head is pounding .... I couldn't remember anything. Sometimes I get so pumped up, I get a headache. I get woozy. I get dizzy. I like that feeling, I don't know why.I got a headache right now and you wouldn't know it. It's just a pounding. Back of the head. That's the thing. You get used to it. When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts. I didn't feel physically sick. But mentally. My mind was twisting in so many ways. Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life. The one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.

There were days when I was unhappy, she did not know why,--when it did not seem worthwhile to be glad or sorry, to be alive or dead; when life appeared to me like a grotesque pandemonium and humanity like worms struggling blindly toward inevitable annihilation. Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive-it's such an interesting world.

There must be a convey of guardian angels working twenty-four hours a day looking after me. Like the night I first got to Duskwood and ran away furiously and that I drove down in the middle of woods, waiting for the nightmare to be over. It didn't happen. I could swear they were keeping me alive just to see what I'd get next, I'm glad they feel that way. I'm trying to help them a little more this days. Do you ever look at the sky and think, I'm glad I'm alive? After I heard System of a Down, I thought, I'm actually alive to hear the shittiest band of all time. Which is quite something when you think about it. Of all the bands that have gone before and all the bands that'll be in the future, I was around when the worst was around.

So close to each other. We existed moment to moment, never knowing who would be the next to leave the world. I was still in it, barely, and as I looked up from the ashes, everything around me seemed so sweet and so beautiful. The trees. The stars. The moon. I was alive -- and I was glad I was.

I woke up to the sun rays lighting the room and saw a doctor checking my blood pressure.

Doctor Linden : Oh Miss Agent... U finally opened your eyes..

Layana: Ummm how much I slept doc.. ¿

Doctor Linden : Hahaha... You didn't open your eyes since five days...

Layana: Can I meet my brother?

Doctor Linden : Yeah sure...

After 5 minutes I saw group of familiar faces entering the room. I sat on the bed and Richy sat beside me and he held my hand ...

Richy : Hey are you feeling ?

Layana : Feeling alive haha

Richy : Even in the hospital bed your sense of humour will be the same ...

Layana: I am not the weather that will change..

I said winking at him to which he winked me back..

Aaron: Hey baby sis will you explain what happened??

Layana : I was returning to Phil's house sudden I saw a high speeding vehicle approaching me.. In an attempt to avoid the crash my car got hit by the tree and I passed out..

Alan: You don't remember that someone stabbed you?

Layana: Nopppe nothing like that, I felt the pain when I woke up....

Aaron excused himself and left the room

Dan : Oh detective now you take rest.. You might have lot of pending muders to accomplish..

Layana: Yeah best driver I need sleep

Everyone burst out laughing.. Everyone left leaving me all alone within the four walls of the hospital room to rest..

Life is so much better when you have everyone one by your side who loves you. In fact, nothing in the world can ever compare to the feeling of loving and being loved. My mother always used to tell me that when push comes to shove, you always know who to turn to. That being a friend isn’t a social construct but an instinct.

People say that we are lucky just because of the people we have in our lives, yet they have no idea just how much we prayed. And for that we say we are not lucky BUT WE ARE BLESSED. Angels also come in human form and when we’re lucky to run into them and even luckier to have them stay in our lives, every fibre of our being gets stimulated. Hence, leaving us feeling indebted to them. It’s an overwhelming feeling to have someone who cares so much about you. But is encouraging when you eventually appreciate having them around you. I’m so lucky to have friends who have become my family .

How could I be so lost, In a place I know so well? How could I be so broken, In a friend circle so together? How could I be so lonely, Surrounded by so many? How could I be so unhappy, Surrounded by so much beauty? How could I be me, When even I remain a mystery? Why I felt that they are hiding something?  Why Aaron left like that without uttering a word?  Did I miss something?
