The Medic

Back again

Everything hurted.

Like hell.

My head pounding.

My breathing slow.

I was alive.
I was bloody alive.

I couldn't move.
Everything was sore.

I felt like I would die of thirst.
So I was definitely unconscious for a while.
I carefully moved my head.
Just a bit.

Yep still hurted.
Fuck.

Suddenly I realised someone was talking.

I could hear someone.
What was this?

König!

I could hear König.
I felt how my heart was beating faster.
What was he saying?
I needed to concentrate.

Fuck I can't understand anything.
Focus!
I took deep breaths.
Come on.
I needed to hear his words.

„I miss you so much Maus. Please come back."

What?
Come back?
The fuck.
I'm not dead.

„Please I need to tell you how I feel. I diddnt had the heart to tell anything to my family. They would be so sad."

Sad about what?
I'm here!
Right here!

„Soap still hasn't spoken one word. He hates himself so much. We need you Maus."

Johnny....

I could feel Königs ice cold fingers on my face.
Stroking a strand of hair out of my face.

I could feel it!
I felt it!
I could see the bright light through my eyes.
I was here!

„Shit. I should have told you sooner"

Was he crying?
I slightly rolled my head to the side.
I blinked ever so slightly.
Getting used to the bright light.

„Could you stop whining? I'm right here you idiot."

My voice was rough and barely audible.
But I could see how his head snapped up.
I could barely see him.
Everything was still super blurry.
A small smile played on my lips.

„You won't get rid of me. Can't leave without telling you that I love you too can I?"

I was stammering the words.
Why the fuck was it so hard to speak?

„Scheiße! Maus...you're awake"

„Of course I am."

I huffed.
I blinked even more.
I could now see his face even better.
He looked wasted.
As if he hadn't slept in weeks.

I could see small tears run down his face.
He grabbed my hand and squeezed it slightly.

„Stop crying! Damn you act like I was gone for forever"

He shook his head.

„This woman goes into a coma for two fucking months and comes back with an aditude"

I coughed and shook my head.

„Excuse me! Is it your accent or did you just say TWO MONTHS?"

I tried to sit up but I couldn't.
I had no strength.
And König held me down.

„Are you insane?"

„Well yes obviously. What do you mean two months?"

His face shifter between pure happyness and worrie.
