She's all His

Chapter Five| Who cares I felt dead and a box

Dedicated to KendallRowell

*Sadie*

It feels like forever in this darkness. Like being asleep but not. My ears are ringing and I feel numb, I can't focus on anything. Am I going mad? Who am I? Where am I and how long have I been here?

What happened? Who are these people who's voices I can hear but can't respond to? The questions are endless as my mind wanders. I feel like I'm falling but am stable at the same time. What is going on?

I tug at my hair in frustration. These people keep calling me Sadie, that must be who I am. I'm now listening to a voice I have heard before and it's almost soothing. He tells me "Sadie, the doctor said there is a chance you never wake up, or if you do you won't remember. Please Sadie wake up, you have to wake up, I need you. Its been almost six months since you've been in a coma."

"Please Sadie, if you can hear me, try to wake up. We miss you, and need you, I need you." Crying was all I heard after that. A new voice joined in "Oh Ryder, don't beat yourself up about it, she's a strong girl, she'll come out of it" the crying died down "I don't know Josh, I don't know how to feel, I don't know how to say I'm sorry" this seemed to strike a nerve, I screamed. "HELP ME!"

I fell to my knees and sobbed. A tug at my heart brought horror to me as I heard the once beeping heart monitor turn into a flatline. I was frozen completely as I heard the frantic and panicking screams of people. "1..2..3..clear" there was an electric shock and my body jerked. "Again" the electric shock spread through my body.

I suddenly felt like someone was chocking me, not letting me get oxygen. I finally found some words "I'm sorry" I heard some movement and then some things being pulled from me. My eyes widened at the feeling of being able to breath again. I gasped as I saw something move. Sallee.

"Sadie you need to go back everyone needs you, go to them, do it for me Sadie" I gently nodded my head and she took my hand. "Goodbye little sister, you don't have to worry about coming back here for a long time" for some reason her words brought me comfort. "Goodbye Sallee, I love you, and mom and dad" she nodded her head. "Now go" was all she said and I felt like I was falling into water. The darkness was back but I didn't feel numb anymore and the beeping of the heart monitor once more beeped in my ears.

"W-what?" Someone said in confusion "she was just taken off life support how-why is she still alive?" Another voice said I thought 'who cares, I felt dead' but I couldn't talk. I tried to move but it felt like I had weights on every limb. I suddenly felt the stiffness in my body and I opened my mouth just a bit.

"She just moved" someone said "no your just imagining in Ryder" I'm guessing Max said. I felt my hand being grasped and someone whispering in my ear. "Sadie, squeeze my hand" his voice clicked in my head, Josh. I tried but I felt weak, but that didn't stop me. I squeezed his hand until I heard him say "ow, ow, ow, okay Sadie you can let go now" but my hand kept squeezing until I heard the satisfying crunch of his hand.

"I know I didn't imagine that" the corners of my lips turned upward into a sinister smile. I slowly opened my eyes and let them adjust to the lights. I looked around and saw Josh, Max, Ryder, Vincent, and Doctor Hill. They were all looking at me in shock. "Is this how y'all are going to greet me after what six months of being in a fucking coma?"

I ask them all, when nobody answers I just shake my head in disappointment and slowly unhooked the cords from my body. I gently pulled the IV from my arm causing it not to be a bloody mess. I look at Vincent "where's my clothes?" He seems to snap out of his trance and leaves the room only to come back after a few minutes with my clothes and hands them to me. I gave him a brief 'thanks' and went to the bathroom to get dressed.
