I sat in the hospital room, my eyes fixed on Melia's pale face. She lay motionless, surrounded by beeping machines and wires.
I held her hand, my thumb stroking her fingers, willing her to wake up.
Days blurred together as I waited for her to come back to me. I barely ate or slept, unable to tear myself away from her side.
Her aunt Rosy came and went, bringing her food incase and she wake up. I felt helpless, like I was losing her. I couldn't lose her.
"Baby please wake up," I whispered while staring at her bruises.

Her aunt blame me fully and I'm taking the responsibility.
Suddenly, her fingers twitched and I sat up.
Bomboclatt
"Melia?" I whispered, my voice shaking.
Please mek a wake she a wake up
Her eyes fluttered open, and she gazed at me, confusion etched on her face.
She stared at me as if I was a stranger
Maybe I am, I've turned into a stranger.
"Babes a mi eno," I said, my voice trembling with fear of her forgetting who I am.
She looks at me, her expression remained blank.
"Who...who are you?" she whispered.
"Wah?"
"Who are you?" she asked more clearer and louder.
"A joke yah mek b?" I asked and she looked out our hands. She pulls her hand away and tried sitting up.
I got up and tried helping her but she pushed me away.
"Please don't touch me?"
"Melia uh just wake, no fuck round me head," I said
"Look you might know my name but I have any clue as to who you are so stay away from me.....What am I even doing here? Shit, I hope I didn't miss a test," she said while trying to stand.
"Hey easy, you can't do that," I said and she sat back down.
She looked at the IV cords before looking around the hospital room.
"You were in an accident," I said and she closed her eyes.
She holds her head and I stepped closer to her. I stooped down and she looked down at me. Her eyes softens and I spoke.
"Melia you graduate from college. You currently a stay wid you aunty, Rosy. Uh a work a di place way she did set the link fih uh get. And mi a uh man," I said and she looked at me.
