I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't.

Am I dead? Goddamn it. I must be!

Suddenly I hear a beep beep sound you usually hear in hospitals.

Wait a minute. That means I'm alive. Right? Yes, I'm alive.

Pain jolted throughout my body when I tried to move. The room I am in, is completely silent. Well except for the beeping sound. The pungent smell of hospital disinfect invaded my nostrils. I slowly tried to open my eyes again. I'm squinting my eyes in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me. I looked around and took in the white colour hospital bedroom. There are two windows but they were close. I couldn't see whether it was night or day.

How long have I been in here?

I shut my eyes, trying to remember what had happened. Then it all hits me with a bang.

The schoolplay. Mevlüt. The gun. The police.

Ekim! What happened to Ekim?! My Ekim. Is she safe? 

I started panicking.  Out of impulse, my right hand travels to my left shoulder. I felt the pain there. Mevlüt must've shot me there. That bastard! I wish I destroyed his face. I tried to get up, but I instantly fell back on the bed. I groaned of pain.

Suddenly the door opened and the nurse came in.

"Sir, you need to lay down. You need to rest. You're still in pain." 

"How long have I been here? When can I go home?" I asked the nurse.

"It's been more than 14 hours. You can't go home yet. Hopefully tomorrow. And your left arm will probably take more than six weeks to recover. Of course you have to do a few excercise," the nurse answered.

"Your mother and brother were waiting for you outside, but they left. I told them to come back tomorrow, since you didn't wake up yet."

I was kinda disappointed. Wasn't Ekim with them? I didn't want anyone else. I just want to see her. I thought she'd be the first one I'd see. She must be worried about me.

But there's just something in the back of my head that says that she probably doesn't care.

No. Impossible! She was worried about me when I once was in the hospital. Remember when my father and I fell from the balcony? We weren't even together when that happened. She came to visit me that day. Feels like it just happened yesterday. It's only been a few months ago. I also remember confessing my love for her. She denied her feelings for me. She was a coward back then. And look how far we've come. We've been through so much to get where we are now. Nothing and no one can seperate us.

Honestly I'm so glad I found her. She was the missing puzzle piece in my life. I was lost within the darkness. But now...

Now I can actually see the light. With her by my side, I feel like I can actually breathe. I don't see my world falling apart like I used to. Before her I was just existing, you can say I was a living corpse. I hated life. I hated my father. Still do. I was mad that my mom wasn't strong enough for me and my brother. I wish she had the guts to leave my father. We suffered so much! But she was too scared. And I was mad at my brother who was blaming me for everything my father did to him. I was mad that he thought I didn't care about him.

At school I was fed up with these bullies as friends. I was fed up that I was dealing with a girl I didn't even love. Melisa. I never loved her. Maybe as a friend. Nothing more. I was a bully. I was completely radiating all the frustration out on everyone else by being a bully.
