Twist of Fate

Chapter 7

Itt
I slowly opened my eyes, it seems to be night time already. I slept a bit too long, where is day? The door slowly opened and my heart began racing, thankfully it was only my mum, dad and day. Mum said she cooked my favourite dishes for me, my face instantly lit up. I also asked if she got me cake, she nodded happily. She showed the cake to me and it was my favourite flavour, orange cake.

Day
My heart was at peace seeing Itt like this, being his old self. I know he was a bit of a wild and playboy high schooler. Itt was going straight for the cake, but I told him in a stern voice to eat the food first. He pouted and stared at me in an angry but kind of defeated way, I smirked at his actions. Once he saw my smirk he began complaining to his mum, his mum only shook her head and told him that I'm right.

Itt
How could my mum take his side? But still for the cake I ate my food quickly then indulged my cake. I asked my dad when I'd be able to go home again and he said he'll find out. I asked day " I'm not in school anymore, right?" He replied yes. I then asked day, what work I do? He said I do car repair work in dad's shop. I nodded taking in all the information.
After spending time with me, mum and dad were leaving and day went to drop them off.
I said I also wanted to go see them off, for the sake of going outside. So day helped me onto the wheelchair and we went outside, both mum and dad hugged me goodbye. Suddenly I saw the same man waving to me while we were outside, though he was at a distance while
it was dark but i still recognised him. I instantly told day that I wanted to go back inside the room. That man wasn't scary but a I had a weird feeling about him. I just didn't want to have another encounter with him.

Day
I didn't think much of when Itt asked to go back, I figured he was just tired. So I pushed wheelchair inside till we reached his room. Where he turned on the air conditioner with his not injured hand, then switched on the tv while we waited for the food to arrive. Itt didn't really start a conversation, and neither did I cause he doesn't really remember anything. So in the room we sat and watched tv. A nurse knocked and entered and I took the food from her. She swiped her hand against mine while giving the food. I saw Itt's eyes just staring at the tv screen and I sighed. If it was the old Itt he would've burnt holes through the girl's body with his intense glare. I laughed off my thoughts and placed the food in front of him ready to feed him, after thanking the nurse with a straight face. The nurse said the doctor would come to do a checkup later, probably after mealtime. I nodded and shooed her away. I brought the spoon towards his mouth but he didn't open his mouth. I again took the spoon towards him, it seemed like he was just staring outside now through the window. I called his name in a low voice "Itt", no response then abit louder "itt!" I again got no response, instead his eyes rolled to the back of his head and fell into my arms. I immediately called one of the doctors to check him. A few nurses and doctors came to check him, while the doctor questioned what happened. I told the doctor how he was staring at a screen and then fell into my arms. The nurses stabilised his breathing as it had gotten more stiff. The doctor told me to wait outside, and I went out stressed. The doctor later came out and said he went into a vegetative state, meaning a person is awake but showing no signs of awareness. And when I called him he was coming out of the state, but due to his condition he passed out. The doctor said Itt must've been stressed about something, which is normal in his situation. The doctor informed that he's not contained consciousness yet. I thanked the doctor and entered the room with light steps. I gazed upon Itt, thinking I'm the one that is causing him so much trouble and discomfort. I held his hand with one hand and with the other, moved his overgrown bangs to kiss his forehead. I later put my head on his chest and slowly heard his steady heartbeat, while closing my eyes, thinking of Our situation.
