Within

The voice

Claire hears a voice coming from her left side.

She can't open her eyes to see who is speaking but she can recognize the voice.

It is a nice voice.

She waits for the voice to speak again but it doesn't a different voice does.

This voice is also nice.

Suddenly, Claire has a sudden urge to open her eyes.

But she can't.

She tries and tries but every time she fails.

She hears a voice say they are going to go down to the gift shop and get Claire some flowers.

Than a different voice gets a little louder as they come closer to Claire and hold her hand.

This voice is comforting and gives Claire butterflies.

Claire sighs slightly and tries one last time to open her eyes.

She looks over at the voice and looks at him, his head is down and he is crying.

"Hunter?" Claire croaks out.

"Claire, oh my god I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

Claire hesitates before she smiles and says "yah"

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there are than before I knew it you were on the ground in front of me and i don't know what I would do if you hadn't of woken up and I'm-" Hunter rambles half sobbing.

"It's okay, I am fine" Claire says in a calm voice.

Claire runs her hand through her hair and realizes that once again her and Devon aren't going to meet for lunch because of her. But now this time he probably won't believe her. I mean who gets hurt this badly twice in less than a week.

Hunter sense Claire is stressed and asks "you seem stressed, is everything okay?"

"Yes I..." Claire barely says.

"No I am not, I'm far from okay. I thought changing would be easier, but now that I'm actually doing it, it's not"

"What do you mean by changing" Hunter asked with a confused look on his face.

Claire sighs, how is she going to explain this one. "I...ummm, I used to be really shy but recently I decided to talk more and I don't know it's really complicated"

"Oh" Hunter says as Claire's parents walk.

Claire's mom puts the vase of flowers on the bedside table and runs to Claire's side embracing her in a giant hug and her father soon follows.
