Young Love

Old life?

Silence. Then a loud bang of my phone suddenly screeched in my ears. My whole body tightened. I didn't know what was happening to me at that moment. I could feel a strong, firm touch. I think I wasn't even breathing. After a few seconds or minutes whatsoever, I gasped.

-Simon! Omg, baby, come here! Ayub help! Put him on the couch. I heard.

I was carried by someone. I was dropped on the couch I guess. I could feel a nice, soft texture under my back. 

-Honey, can you tell us what happened? My mum asked worriedly.

I got up a little bit, just to see their faces. Everything was too close to me, so I backed up, getting my eyes used to the lighting. Mi mamá was kneeling on her knees, in front of me. Sara was brushing my arm from the left side. Ayub was lumbering. Rosh placed herself on the chair. I was in shock. I didn't know how to explain the topic then. 

-Can I... get water first, por fa...? (please?)

-Of course. My mum rushed to bring me a glass of crystal-clear water. 

I took it fastly, but with my hands shaking. 

-Slowly. Take it easy. Ayub advised me. 

I returned a glass to mi mamá. I felt better, the water sobers me up. 

-It's just... I began. 

Willhelm, he's...awake. I finally declared.

-W...? Ayub started.

-What? Simon, what are you saying? What do you mean he's awake? Sara asked me, in total disbelief.

-I think he's awake from a coma, right? Rosh questioned openly.

I nodded firmly.

-OMG! My friend shouted after she covered her mouth with her palm.

-That's amazing! Ayub smiled. 

Isn't it? He added, confused.

-Yes, of course, it is! It's just scary too. I admitted.

-Scary? What do you mean by it? My friend sat next to me, staring. 

-I don't know what I want to say to him, or how to act around him. What do I even feel?

-Oh, man. Get yourself together. You two will be fine now if you don't act like a couple of idiots. He summarizes sarcastically.

-It's not as smooth as you'd think. I said a little harshly.

-Maybe, but you are willing to try, anyway, right? Ayub challenged me.

Ok, he got me.

I started to smile out of nowhere, biting my lip.

-I knew it! My friend smiled back. 

Let's start a revolution baby!

-YEAH!!! Everyone screamed, and we gave each other high-fives.

I stood up and kissed my sister on her cheek. 

-Are we allowed to see him? Sara asked.

-No lo sé. (I don't know).

-How do you know about that anyway? Rosh asked me.

-Felice called. 

-And how does she know? My sister joined.

I shrugged my arms.

-We can ask her later. I suggested.

-I will call her mother. Mi mamá informed us.

-Do you guys mind If I go for a walk? I questioned.
