After I opened my eyes to find myself in our house, our room, and on our bed. My eyes filled with tears as I remembered Nick, my sweet, sweet Nick.
I got up to put on a robe and go downstairs. When I came down I stopped on a stair that creeped from when Nick once fell halfway down. He broke the wood underneath the white-pale carpeting and we had to replace the entire stairwell after getting the board fixed.
Once my eyes laid themselves on this one human being, my heart swelled up and more tears came. How in Gods name did I forget about him? The thought quickly vanished after realizing that doesn't matter anymore.
It felt like I floated to his presence. His eyes were softly shut and he was tangled up in a blanket on the couch. The muffled sound of the tv didn't draw me away from him. The only way I knew it was on was by its light flickering on and off his face. I tried to hold back the tears as my hand softly placed itself upon his cheek. His eyes opened and that's when it hit me hard. I know his eyes like the back of my hand.
