The day has come that it will be revealed. Athena's bandages will be removed today and all of them were excited at the same time scared and nervous on what will the results be. They've all been waiting for this moment and all they want is for it to turn out right.
Cheryl didn't sleep that night. She couldn't sleep because her mind was filled with possibilities that might happen when those bandages come off. There is a part of her that is over the mion and wxcited about the thought that her daughter might see again. But there is a part of her that is totally terrified and scared. Scared of what is going to be the reaction if ever Athena might see them again. Would she recognize them or not and she can't get her head around it.
She can't handle the possibility that when the bandages are removed, she would look at them like a blank paper. Even though she can see, her memories and moments they shared together had vanished and that she would look at them knowing them as strangers and that really scares her.
"Okay Athena, I'm going to remove the bandage now." Cheryl leaned back to Simon making him put his free arm around her while the other arm is carrying Eric, who is surprisingly nervous at what is going to happen.
As the bandage is being unwrapped around the girl's head, the heavy breaths were getting released. They were all nervous as they paid close attention to what is happening in front of them Holding their breaths as they wait impatiently for the reveal.
Athena's P.O.V.
Feeling the bandage slides down my face, I kept my eyes closed. Honestly, I'm so scared right now. I don't know what will happen the moment I open my eyes and somehow, I wanted to stay in this position and just keep my eyes closed because I never wanted to get hurt if ever it didn't worked and I have the feeling that I've been hurt too much already.
"There, now open your eyes sweetheart." Its the moment of truth. I took a deep breath before slowly opening them praying to the Heavens that this would work and somehow my prayer is being answered as I saw bright light with blurred colors and as I blinked my eyes, everything gets clear.
"Baby?" I slowly looked up and saw a man and a woman with a little boy with them right in front of me. The woman has tears in her eyes as she walks up to me and it made my heart beat fast, I don't know why.
I open my mouth to speak but was cut off when the doctor approached me and shone a light on both my eyes making them burn.
"I think everything is okay. We still need to monitor her eyes. I suggest that she should wear glasses so she can see better. She can be discharge tomorrow. So, thats all for now. I might leave you to it." He says before leaning forward and stroked my hair giving me a wink. And with that he walked out.
"Athena?" I turn and saw the little boy making his way to me and I just looked at him. He had a small smile on his face as he tried to climb to the bed and sitting close to me.
"Can you see me now?" He whispered and somehow my heart skipped a beat as I stared at him. He has a small pout on his face while playing with the hem of his shirt. And I can't help but to look at him in awe.
"Yea..." His head shot up looking at me and I just gave him a small smile but then the next thing I knew was his little arms were already wrapped around my neck. It took me by surprised that I didn't hig him back. But something inside of me sparked and I found myself hugging him back.
"I missed you so much." He says as he pulls away giving me a kiss on the cheek before he hugs me again. I looked up and saw the man and the woman in tears as they watched us making me confuse.
The little boy pulled away and looked up to me with a beautiful smile playing on his lips. He giggles and took my hand.
"What's your name sweetheart?" He paused and the room went quiet. I don't know if I said something wrong or what because the look on the man and the woman's face is quite confusing. It was like I said something that shocked them.
"You don't remember me? I'm Eric, you're my sister." He whispers as his voice shakes and for some reason I felt guilty.
"Hey, sweetheart I'm sorry." I stroked his brown hair and placed a kiss on his forehead before touching his cheek that made him look up to me.
"I tend to forget stuffs" I gave him a small smile and somehow he returned it before launching himself to me, right then I was having a hard time to breathe because of the impact.
"Eric, baby uhm. Let us talk to your sister." Eric pulled away at the same time, I let out a cough and took in a deep breath.
"Princess, are you okay?" I slowly looked up to the man as he offered a smile before placing a kiss on my forehead.
"Uhm..." I was trying to be polite at the same time I don't want to hurt their feelings. I just want to know who is who.
"I'm Simon princess, I'm your father and this is Cheryl your Mam." Mam...It feels and sounds familliar. I looked up to the woman righ in front of me and she has tears in her eyes.
"Hey my angel." She started as she sat down on the bed facing me. She then stares at me, memorizing every detail that made me do the same thing to her.
As I set my eyes on her, I was amazed by the beauty of this woman or should I say my mother. How her beautiful brown locks tumbles down on her shoulders. How she dresses, everything about her is beautiful.
"I missed you so much. God, I love you." She took me in her arms and held me close to her. So close that I can feel her heart beat against mine. Slowly, my arms wrapped around her back andI felt her relaxed in my arms. Soon, I felt tears damping the hospital gown that I'm wearing.
"Are you okay?" I asked out of concern. She pulled back but kept her arms around me before placing kisses on my face and then hugging me again.
She then pulled away and looked into my eyes makes me had the chance to stare at them too. And I was amazed by those brown pools. They held a meaning that is so powerful and such comfort.
"I missed those blue eyes. I really missed you my Bella Bear." She placed a deep koss on my cheek before taking me in her arms again.
Right then, I know that they cared for their daughter. They loved her truly with their own heart. And now, I'm scared because I don't know if I would gonback to what I was before. I'm scared of what's going to happen next. What will happen to my life, Now that I don't have a clue on what my life really is.
I'm still LOST...
