Her World

Chapter Thirty

Chapter 30

I could hear the low murmurs of voices but no matter how much I tried I could not prise my eyes open. Why couldn’t I open my eyes? I was starting to panic, I tried to move any part of my body but found that nothing moved. I was numb.

Even though I could open my eyes, I felt someone move and sit down next to me. There was a slight pressure on my hand so I knew whoever it was must be holding it.

“Please wake up Marie” The soft voice sobbed, it was strange to hear the worry in their voice something that was rare. “I should have protected you, I know that but I couldn’t. I know we haven’t gotten along that great and I know there are many things that you may or not know but I just want to let you know that you will always be a sister to me. I’m so sorry for all those years that I hurt you and let you down but when you wake up I’ll be the best sister ever. You can bet on it” Melissa whispered, she sounded so sincere.

 Even though we haven’t got on great I wanted to open my eye and tell her that it was going to be okay. She had kept things from me but when I really needed her these past few weeks she has been there. I wanted to hug her and tell her that I forgive her. I tried once again to force my eyes open so I could see her but they wouldn’t budge.

My hand felt cold and the pressure was gone, I found myself missing and wanted it back. Her hand in mine once again, I wanted to feel close to her.

“Come on, let her rest” Noah calm voice entered my mind.

“I should have helped her, that’s what I’m meant to do. Big sisters protect their little sisters” Melissa stressed before she let her sobs loose, I could hear Noah cooing her and before long the shut door leaving me along in the darkness of my mind.

I don’t know if I have fallen asleep or even if that can happen with my eyes already shut but I felt another hand press down on mine which made me come back from my dream world.

“This should of never of happened to you. I’m so sorry, everything happened to suddenly and before I knew what was happening you were falling before my very eyes.” This beautiful voice was like music to my ears, I had missed him.

“Please don’t die on me Marie. You can’t leave me too, everyone leaves. For so long I had stopped being me, letting anyone in. I would always just be by myself, no friends no nothing, it was better that way. Every hello ends with a goodbye and goodbye is one thing I was fed up of saying. When I was moved to your school, I had already decided to not make friends, to not let anybody in but then I saw you. The innocent brunette who caught my eye.” He stopped and took a deep breath before he carried on.

“I knew there was something different about you, I couldn’t stop myself from wanted to get to know you, to be with you. I know it this sounds like something the bad boy would say but I don’t care. Marie you make me smile when I don’t want to, you make me laugh without even trying. Your beautiful and so true, and the first moment I saw you I just fell in love with you” The last part was nothing but a whisper but I heard.

I knew that if I had my eyes open right now I would be crying, crying because someone actually loves me for me.

“I would give anything you hold you in my arms again and to hear you say that you love me again. Anything” Jake voice went hoarse, I didn’t want him to cry, he’s got to be the only person in this world that I never want to see hurt.

Every little ounce strength I had left in my body I forced them open, I wanted to see him again even if it was the last thing I did. The tight lock that was holding my eyes close released, as soon as they open they shut stringing from the bright light of the room. I tried once again this time blinking a few times to get used to the bright white room.
