Until There Was You

Lexi

Chapter 17

*Lexi - 3 Weeks Later*

God its hurts so bad. So much for heaven, I scoff to myself. My body is so heavy and it hurts to breathe I am warm though, I wonder where I am? I am so tired now, maybe I should rest a while.

I am getting so tired of this darkness and the god awful buzzing sound. Why can't I move? If this is death I feel cheated, I am suppose to feel bliss and peace. I try to remember something, anything but it all starts feeling so heavy again and the buzzing is getting louder. The darkness consumes me again, taking control and I can't fight it. I don't want to fight it.

'.......here with you so he would and let me tell you Pretty Girl, he bloody stinks.' I know that voice. Pretty Girl, he only ever calls me Pretty Girl. Come on Lexi think. Ha I remember something, my name is Alexis Anne Cross and I a nearly 19, take that darkness.

'Pretty Girl you need to wake up now. Liam is falling apart, he misses you so much. We both do, so come on let me see them lovely blue eyes Pretty Girl. Please....'

NATE! The voice is Nate. Liam? Oh my god Liam, My Liam. I remember everything now, my Mother, Mike, Liam and the dinner. The argument, I said some really cruel things and left him then.......nothing. Where am I? I want to see Liam, I have to tell him how sorry I am. I try to move, I really do but it's so hard and it hurts so bad. The darkness comes for me again but this time I try to fight it, I swear I do but I lose and the blackness takes me.

I wake again, I don't know if you can call it awake but that's what I am. I can hear the steady beeping of a machine but nothing else. No talking this time, where has Nate gone? Has he left me like everybody else? I wouldn't blame him really, I am used to being alone. I try to open my eyes but they just don't want to no matter how hard I try. My fingers hurt too much to even think about trying to move them, and there is an awful pain shooting down both arms. My head is numb though, i suppose I should be grateful really if the rest of my body is anything to go by.

What happened to me? Was I in an accident? I feel like I have been chewed up and spat out and then ran over. I just don't remember anything after leaving Liam's house in tears. I feel something soft brush against my fingers and I want so bad to reach out and touch it.

'Lexi, please wake up. It has been over a week since they said you would and I am scared Lex. I am so sorry for everything I said to you, I never meant a word of it. I never got chance to tell you that I Love You and to see if you said it back. I do Lexi, I Love You so much and I just want you to come back to me.'

It's Liam, he is here and he's crying. He Loves me, nobody has ever really loved me yet this amazing man does. I want to tell him I Love him too but my body won't respond. Why can't I move, please let me move. I don't want to be in the dark anymore, I don't want to be alone. I try my eyes again, praying they open but get nothing.

'Mr Coltan, your Mother is on the phone demanding she speak to you this second?' A soft female voice tells him and he sighs.

'I am coming now, thank you.' He replies. He is leaving. No he can't leave me, come on Lexi wake up now. He is leaving you, god damn it.

My eyes open slowly and everything is blurry but I can see his back as he reaches the door and I can hardly believe I did it. I want to cheer and shout but my jaw hurts so much and my throat is like sandpaper.

'Lia.....' I croak, please god let him hear me.
