As soon as Jasmine came into the house u could feel her presence, she had a sweet feminine air around her. Im not sure if my hair was on end because I hadn't been around another women other than Florence for over a month and all my senses were none functional or I was attracted to a girl I couldn't even see either way that didn't stop me from listening to the smooth sound of her voice.
How long does it take for a girl to visit her dad the doctor laughed merrily.
Im sorry dad you know I get occupied with work she giggles. You need to start controlling your job and not let it control you the doctor said jokingly. I really presumed Jasmine was someone special but never his daughter! She sounded beautiful of that even made any sense.
I hear the sound of the chairs being pulled out So she starts the doctor clears his throat I felt bad for him he responds to her subtle gesture.Dad you can't bring in every patient you feel bad for you have enough trouble looking after yourself, yet alone someone else! I know but he's no trouble at all and he'll wake up soon just you wait and see, do you have any idea what that Christian guy was going to do with him? I don't even want to think about it he sighed.
I blacked out completely while they ate to be honest I can't put my finger on it, whether I blacked out or just fell asleep. Morning came and Dr Michael was in a good mood, he whistled around the house singing praises to God, before he ate breakfast he sat by my side and read a passage to me.
"For I know the plans for your future, plans of good and not evil, to give you ..." I couldn't remember the rest or the exact bible verse he had read but I grasped the concept quickly.I lay on the couch and thought about what I'd do when I woke up to be honest I didn't know firstly; I was clueless to how long I had spent like this, secondly I didn't know where or what Florence was doing. What if she'd moved on if certainly be intruding. If she had moved on I guess I told her to, right?
I tried to persuade myself and say I'd be happy if she had moved on but that would be the biggest lie ever as I'd be totally devastated!I turned if my thoughts about Florence and directed all my energy in trying to move my arm and my life literally flashed before my eyes I rolled of the couch and blacked out on the floor.
I didn't wake up until the next day, my head was banging, I tried to concentrate on what was going on around me. I heard Jasmines voice and Michael's then I heard the front door close swiftly, I took it as Jasmine probably leaving for home.
A hot flannel on my head made flinch I couldn't be sure whether it was physically or just mentally it had been so long since I last detected anything other than pain. It felt so good I had to admit.I don't think you can hear me jasmines voice said unsurely, Michael had been the one to go out I thought to myself " well my father thinks you can so what the hell, it must be super hard to be stuck like this I can't even imagine" she said gently, she was right it was hard and absolutely dreadful! She lifts the flannel from my head and my eyes flicker open, your... your awake she stammers.
So I am I say desperately trying to see through the foggy vision my eyes were giving me, I struggled to sit up fighting the familiar feeling of another blackout. I wouldn't budge pain seeped down my spine as I made another attempt "arggh" I grunted in pain. "Are you okay?" Jasmine asked her time now one of complete distress, "I'm going to call dad sha says rushing to the kitchen, my cousin had cleared slightly, I need to get up I say to myself, trying again might cause me to blackout I thought considering my options.
I went with option number two try to move a different part of my body, I wiggled my toes they moved without resistance I sighed in relief I wasn't completely disabled anymore. I try moving my legs and the pain in my spine flared up again "shoot" I say out loud. "Look your clearly in pain Jasmine says softly maybe let your body figure itself out instead of forcing it to jumpstart!" She held her phone to her ear and waited for Michael to pick up, he's not picking up she sighed "where'd he go I ask genuinely concerned for my saviours wellbeing, I have no idea she says, the worry on her face said it all i definitely had something to be worried about.Was he driving? I ask, no he wanted to take a little walk problem is i have no idea where to! Well you go look for him I'll be fine I say with a smile. Alright she says reluctantly.I felt sleep takeover the moment jasmine left and let it consume me.
I woke up to the sound of Jasmines voice she sang beautifully, the pain in my spine was gone but my legs felt as if they were being chopped off. I decided to pray before opening my eyes and trust that there was indeed a hope for my future even if my current situation said otherwise. Jasmine drew the curtains open and the sunlight seeped in it had been so long since I had seen the sun, I tried to sit up my spine was in tact but it was impossibly painful. Let me help you Jasmine offered I felt like a helpless child and hated it. She walked over and helped me sit up she smelt like lavender, It ached sitting in the couch the whole day with my eyes and mouth working at optimum level and still being able to do nothing, but Jasmine kept me company and I appreciated that.
