Talia's POV:

The first thing I thought when the light vanished was...

Why can't I just open my eyes and why can't I move?

It seemed like I am still stuck between life and well nothing, after everything went white I started hearing things

I could hear my brothers crying, Rocco begging me not to leave him and how he needed me, the twins trying to make me move, Lorenzo apologizing over and over again

Why couldn't I do anything, I was forced to lay silently, A constant irritating beeping noise from beside me every couple of seconds was driving me insane

If this wasn't torture then I honestly didn't know what was

In a way I was still asleep, my body was asleep, I couldn't move or talk or open my eyes but I could hear things sometimes

A million questions was flooding my mind

Where was I and what was wrong with me?

Someone was talking softly beside me, why did it sound like my brother?

I tried desperately to move my hand but eventually they stopped talking leaving me on my own

I wanted to scream No don't leave me please but nothing happened

Maybe I was going to stay like this forever?



A bright light in my eyes made me wince, who put a flashlight right next to my eyes?

 I was going to slap them, I just wanted to go back to bed now

Above me I could see was a white sort of sky above my head, the only thing that confused me was why the sky divided into squares like a ceiling?

Was I dead, did I go to Heaven, why did it look like that?

The beeping rang through the air more constant this time and I wanted to stop it really badly 

My head hurt and my throat felt really dry

I wanted to know if I was dead or not but I couldn't tell...


Someone's hushed voice from near me made me sigh, was in a sort of dream and hearing someone talk to me again

I just wanted to go home!

My eyes slowly start to flutter closed again, I was really tired I just wanted to sleep

"Talia?"

I force my eyes open, revealing Rocco standing at the door, huge eye bags under his eyes was really noticeable, it was like he hadn't slept in ages, I wonder why?

I lazily watch as he races to my side instantly, he was talking fast and it made my brain hurt, I just wanted to go to sleep...

"Your awake!"

"Are you okay"

"Do you need something"

"I am going to get the nurse"

"Say something"


"Turn off the light" I croak as I almost instantly drift off back to sleep



Rocco's POV:

This was stupid, I never should of come here.

I grab my helmet and stand up away from the hospital bed flocked with different kinds of machines

It had been 2 weeks since Talia was in a coma, I really thought she was going to wake up last week but she didn't...

Soon I was going to have to prepare myself for the realization that she may never wake up

This was worse then someone dying, they were their but at the same time they weren't 

What I really wanted to know was could she hear me, I hoped speaking to her would help her wake up

My hand reached for the door and as soon as I gripped onto the cold handle a small sigh from behind me startled me

I turn around and instantly my heart drops, she was still lying still...

 every little bit of hope that had just built up in my body melted away

How stupid was I for thinking she was going to randomly wake up?


Talia's eye lashes flutter slightly and I race to her side instantly, was she starting to wake up?

Two gorgeous mismatched eyes stare into my own dark blue eyes curiously 

For a second I can't breathe and the world seems to stop

Was I hallucinating? 


"Your awake!"

"Are you okay"

"Do you need something"

"Say something"

"I am going to go get the nurse"

I could barely hear myself talking over my heart, which was beating loudly


"Turn off the lights" she croaks quietly

The first thing my sister says after waking up from a 2 week coma is 'Turn off the lights" 

And then goes back to sleep...




Lorenzo's POV:

Eventually I had to go back to work, everything was slowly going back to normal apart from the fact Talia still hadn't woken up

Two fucking weeks was how long it has been, 336 hours she had been away from me and it was killing me

Rocco had come home a couple of days ago but he spent most of his time at our clinic or somewhere on his motorbike 

He was going to have to start going to school again soon but I didn't have the heart to tell him yet

I still blamed myself, I had lost Talia again after I promised myself I would take care of her, after I had wished for a second chance, how did I mess it up, how did I lose her again?

The one thing I regret the most was hitting her, something I promised her would never happen again, but I was the one to do it

My phone vibrated on the desk and slowly I pick it up, it was Rocco's number...

Why was he calling me?

"Hello?"

Two words came through the phone that I thought I would never hear 

"She's awake"
