"Whats it like being in a coma" William asked me looking me dead in the eyes. Shocked at his question, but still a little curious.
"Why Would you ask me something like that" I asked breaking eye contact.
"Because your in one. So whats it like" He said standing up from the bed. I looked back at him with a little fear in my eyes. Am I really in a coma. I think I would know if I was in one.
"I'm not in one though" I snapped back at William. He just sat there with a sad look on his face.
"You'll realize sooner or later" William said as he disappeared into thin air and everything went black, even my ice cream.
"WILLIAM WERE ARE YOU WILLIAM COME BACK" I screamed endlessly into the darkness.
"I'm in a coma aren't I" I say dumbfounded. Wouldn't that mean none of this is real and everyone's all right. A little happy at this, but still confused at the sudden realization of being in a very long sleep. I start walking until I hit a wall. As i'm sliding around on the wall I start thinking.
"Isn't being in a coma like sleeping and this is all just a weird dream or nightmare I don't know or care, but if that's true then I can manipulate it" I start to think of something that will help me see as my hand brushes pass a bump. No, A SWITCH. I flip the switch and I can see everything again, but its not my bed room sadly. However it is someone's room.
"Wait a minute I know this room" I say as I jump onto the bed and grab a stuffed animal off of the wall.
"I won this at the fair and....and this is Leon's room" I say looking around. If this is Leon's room then were's Leon. I sat down on the bed when I noticed the door opening. I jumped up off the bed as soon as he entered the room. As soon as his eyes set on me his face dropped.
"Zahaira? What are you doing in my room" Leon asked setting what ever he had in his hands down.
"That's all you have to say to me really" I say with my well known attitude.
"Well I mean..." Leon tries to say before I cut him off.
"Never mind that anyway I need your help or so I think" I tell him walking closer making the space between us smaller.
"W-why do you need me, MY, help" he asks as he starts breathing harder and stumbling over his words.
"Leon, i'm in a coma and ya I know that sounds crazy, but I am and I need out so I can see the real you" I tell him grabbing his hands and holding them in mine.
"Of course anything for you Zahaira" Leon stumbled trying not to make me able to notice it.
