I felt a little squeeze in my hand

"Aria?? Aria?! Are you awake??" I asked and stood up from my chair, never letting go of her hand. And again, I felt a little squeeze in my hand. I brushed a piece of hair out of her face, but she didn't open her eyes. I gave her a careful peck on her cheeks, avoiding all the tubes, wounds and scars, and ran outside the room. I walked through a corridor untill I saw one of her doctors pass by.

"Doctor! Doctor! She's awake! Come, quickly!" I said as I turned around and walked back to her room, with the doctor following me. I stood next to her bed and grabbed her hand again.

"She doesn't look awake to me" the doctor said as he looked to Aria, who was still laying like she was dead.

"Okay, maybe I overreacted, but she squeezed my hand!" I almost yelled because I was so happy, but the doctor just nodded. He did a few tests on her, like shining in her eyes with a flashlight and stuff like that. When he was done he just shook his head.

"I'm sorry man, She doesn't respond to anything. Nothing has changed. I think it were just muscle contractions you felt. I'm sorry, but she's not awake yet" he said while he put the flashlight back in his pocket.

"No, no that can't be! I asked her something, and she responded! I'm sure!"

"That can't be true, I'm sorry sir. I think it was just coincidence. I'm sorry, but I have to go to another patient now" he said and then walked away, leaving me with nothing but questions. I was sure she resoponded to me. Tears started to stream down my face again. I'm surprised I still have tears left to cry after these days. My eyelids started to feel heavy and I rested my head on top of Aria's legs on the hospital bed, letting out loud sobs.

"Aria, please wake up" I cried out as I rubbed circles on her hand. I closed my eyes and cried out every tear I had left, not bothering if anyone could hear. After 30 minutes or so, I almost fell asleep, dreaming about Aria and me in my appartment, untill I suddenly felt and hand resting on my back. I opened my eyes and shot up from Aria's legs, looking around, but no one was in the room except for Aria and me. I wiped away my tears and rubbed my eyes to make my vision clear again.

"Ezra" I heard someone wishper with a hoarse voice. It was the voice I was aching for all the time. It was the voice I thought I would never hear again. It was her voice. I looked at her, and saw her eyelids were lightly seperated. She had removed her breathing support from her mouth and she had a little smile on her face.

"A- Ar- Aria, you're- you're awake" I said, a little bit speechless. She closed her eyes again and nodded softly.

"Aria, I'm so sorry, I-" I said but I got cut off by her wishper

"Ezra don't"

"Aria, Don't shut me out, let me explain-"

"Stop it Ezra" she wishpered again but this time she opened her eyes. I just looked at her as a tear escaped my eye again.

"Stop apologizing and just hold me. I need you" she wishpered again, and that were truly the most beautiful words I've ever heard. More beautiful than all the 'I love you's' she ever spoke.
