The sleep took forever. It was my first sleep for my stay here in this planet. I've never felt this great in my life.

Images flashed in my mind, happy ones. The times when I was still normal, when I lived in my own particle and the time I left it and found Andromeda, my reason? The prophecy told me, it told me that I would find my other half in there and that it would be my worst nightmare. As a kid I believed in happy endings, I loved seeing my ancestors fall in love and I want to feel it to, so I left without saying, little did I know, the moment I left the place, it was ruined, ruined by the reset.

Maybe it was pure coincidence, but I somewhat forgot about it when I found him, Solomon.

He was the light to my darkness and for the first time I laid my eyes on him, I felt normal and human.

I.. we fell in love with each other and we had a future ahead of us. That day was supposed to be the happies day of my life, our marriage. We planned to raise our own descendants and live, age, and die together, but it was snatched to us by the reset.

In every happy moment, there will always be a sad one. It feels too good to be true.

The images stopped and I felt water on my cheeks, I'm crying. It's overwhelming, knowing that at least I have a little hope that our promises would come true.

I felt stronger and the weakness was slowly drifting away. I'd love to be this weak forever, to feel alive again and live like a normal human being. I wished for that day to come but it was snatched by the reset.

I slowly opened my eyes and greated by a white ceiling, oh no, this can't be, I can't be in a hospital. This would be dangerous, what if they knew, what if they already knew. Oh god, please no.

"Hey Ally, oh my god I'm glad you're awake." Carl walked over and hugged me.

"Carl", I felt a little uncomfortable, like my whole body wasn't mine. I hugged him back and tears streamed down from my face, it's like I've been stopping it for years, yeah well literally.

"Woah, why are you crying, you hungry?"

I glared at him, what can I do, I can't eat and he knows that but not the real reason tho.

"Oh yeah, how stupid of me, I forgot that you have a very strict diet." He looked shy and embarrassed.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little bit shocked, what happened?" Well I already know, let's just pretend I didn't.

"Well, you passed out at my party you know. Not bad for a first timer." He started laughing.

"Carl, its not funny." But I can't help it so I laughed along with him.

"Well, the doctor said it was just from stress, so much stress that you slept for a week."

"What?! A week are you serious?" I can't believe it I slept for one week.

"Well, yeah, I was kinda scared tho, I thought you're gonna be in coma for a while or you have a serious illness, but my doctor made sure you're fine and told me to just wait for you to wake up." Wait...this is weird, I slept for one week and the doctor didn't sense anything suspicious about me?

"Really? Oh thank god, I'm kinda scared too." I said which is half true, what ifs were running around my mind, what if he knew and right now he is contacting the government to report me, what if he wants me for his own, what if Carl also knew, what if I was in danger and this is my end.

"Don't worry my cousin is great and one of the best."

"Your cousin? What? I don't understand?"

"Well, my cousin was the doctor and he was the one who checked you." He said while standing up to take some papers on the table.

"Can I meet him?" I asked, whoever this doctor is, I need to make sure.

"Yeah in fact he'll be here any moment, he just had a phone call a while ago, but believe me, he is totally insane" He said while hiding a chuckle.

"Insane? What do you mean?" I asked, my voice full of confusion and slowly, the fear was coming back.

"Well, he just stayed with you the whole week and told me it's for him to monitor you every now and then..." He looked amused.

"And what?"

"I just didn't expect him to stay here and cancel his flight for a patient, he never does that, he doesn't even know you."

"Well, maybe he's just kind." My heart feels like it's gonna explode from my chest, maybe this is my last day here, what if he knows and he will take me in the laboratory?

"And I didn't expect him to literally stay with you day and night, like look." He pointed out to my side and I noticed the sofa with pillows and a blanked in there, maybe I was too nervous to notice it.

"He literally stayed here and even slept here with you, sometimes I think like he has a hidden agenda, but he's a doctor and all I care about is your safety and I know my cousin won't do that." I blushed at the thought of someone watching me while I drool in my sleep for almost one week and I didnt even have the chance to at least take a bath.

Awkward..

"Oh you're blushing, don't worry, he's okay with that, based on what I know of course. And don't worry, Cara changed your clothes and gave you a sponge bath while you're asleep." And with that I felt relieved. Cara was Carl's twin sister and she had been nice to me like Carl, but she took another course so I became closer to Carl since we go to the same college.

Suddenly, I felt myself getting weak again, and a sudden knock was heard on the door.

"That must be him."

"Who? Are we expecting someone?"

"Yeah, my cousin, the doctor remember?"

"Oh great I forgot, sorry."

Carl slowly stood up and walked over the door, but I was more than shocked to see who the doctor is.
