I hear muffled noises. I can't make out the voices. I can't make out the words. My eyes still closed like I'm sleeping. A pulse in my wrist, I suddenly feel two fingers finding my pulse. I jerk my hand out of the way. I hear a gasp. I try to open my eyes but it's just blurry. I get scared. My pulse races, beads of sweat drip down my forehead. A warm body wraps itself around me. My heart feels warmer. A smile appears on my pale face as I smell the familiar scent of chocolate.
"Hey, please wake up. We miss you. Olly has been really sad all week. He has missed a lot of lessons just sitting in the common room, twiddling a silver necklace in his hand. I asked him what it meant and he just stood up and went to the dormitory. I thought I heard crying from up there. He won't talk to anyone. I'm really worried about him. Please come back to help him and us. I love you Jana. Please." Austin was speaking as he stroked my hair. He kissed my nose, held my hand and sat in the chair next to my bed.
The doors burst open and two familiar voices echoed through the room into my small ears. "Is she awake?"
"Please is she ok?"
I recognised Ashley's voice and a butterfly was released in my tummy. I missed her so much. Luna in her dreamy voice calmed me. I wish I could open my eyes and see their faces again. I hope it's not the end.What felt like an hour later, two sets of heavy footsteps walked into the hospital wing. The boys voices sounded the same. Like they were twins.
One boy hugged me. One boy held my hand and sat down. I felt a droplet fall onto my cheek.
"Alex? Are you crying?" My brother asked him.
"Um. Yea. So what if I am. I bet you will. It's not nice to see your little sister lifeless. I don't know how mum is feeling right now. She must be dying." Alex replied to his twin Owen.The tear soaked into my skin just as another fell onto my hand. It broke me to know that my brothers were like this. I wished I could wake up. I want to be hugged to near death by my brothers. They will be my protectors and I shouldn't give them the reason to.
My eyelids fluttered open.
I could see light. I could hear everything. I could hear the heavy breathing if my two brothers sleeping.
"Alex," I whisper and shake his shoulder. "Owen?" I say louder.
Alex opens his eyes and smiles at me. He nudges his brother on the arm. Owens eyes open wide and his mouth drops to the floor. They both share a look and lunge towards me.Before I can say Quiditch I'm pulled into a bone breaking group hug full of tears from all three of us. My tears were falling like a waterfall. And they wouldn't stop.
"Jana thank God. You're actually here. I love you so much. I'll never let you go again." Alex said in my ear in between sobs. Owen said things along the same lines.
"I love you too Alex." I say. Now in a whisper "you're the best twin." He leans back and smiles.
"Don't worry," he says "I won't tell him".Ashley, Austin and Olly pull me into a group hug. Olly kisses me passionately as his way of saying I miss you. Although he did repeat that many times. I cried so much that day. I'm so grateful for life.
