Am I Really Alone?

Chapter 13

Daniel's POV

Its been a week since the accident and Arielle has yet to wake up.

I've prayed everyday that she wakes up with her memory intact. Hoping she will remember everyone.

The police have been at the hospital every day asking if she has woken up yet.

But the answer always stays the same.

No.

I haven't been home at all this week and everyone keeps telling me to go home and shower or to eat something, but I ignore them.

The only person I'm worried about is my baby.

I look at her.

Her bruises are almost gone, which is good. But I just wish she would wake up.

I place my hand on her cheek.

"Please wake up baby."

Arielle's POV

Everything is so dark and I can't move.

What is going on?

Where is my family and fiancé?

I try to move again, but nothing works.

Where am I?

I try to listen to my surroundings, but I can't hear anything.

Then I hear it.

Footsteps and a door close.

I try to talk or scream, but I can't.

What is wrong with me?

Then I hear a familiar voice.

"You thought you could leave me, huh? Oh no Arielle, I'm coming for you."

My heart is beating fast and I can't escape this person.

I can feel the fear running through my veins as the tears fall from my eyes.

Then the person continues.

"You're dead."

Then a gun goes off.

POW!!

My eyes shoot open.

I look around and I'm in an all white room.

Am I in a hospital?

As if on cue I hear the heart monitor.

How did I get here?

I look down at my body and see my bandaged right thigh.

Then I remember everything.

The gun, Ryan, and the hand.

I have a massive headache.

I try to lift my hand to touch my head, but I can't.

Why?

I look over to see a sleeping Daniel.

I gently move my hand from under his arm.

Forgetting all about my headache.

I place my hand on his face and begin tracing my fingers along his now bearded jaw.

I smile.

I then run my hands through his hair and kiss his cheek.

I've missed him.

I hear a groan from him, but continue to play in his hair.

His eyes begin to flutter open.
