Carter
I could hear everything around me. I heard the beeping. The doctors. I heard sobbing. I heard arguing. But I hadn't the strength to open my eyes just yet. I heard screaming. "She's moving!" And then I drifted away again.
It was dark the next time I had the energy to be semi awake. It was night time. I saw the clip board next to me. So I began reading up on what was wrong with me now. Apparently heat strokes can cause heart and breathing abnormalities. How fun.
I slowly got up. I detached the needles and tubes from me. I snuck around careful not to run into any doctors. It must be around 3:00 in the morning. I went straight to Ash's room. I didn't bother reading his clipboard.
I already saw all I needed to, to know what was wrong. His condition was still unchanged. He still laid there with death sprinkled across his features.
I sat at his bed side and grabbed his hand. I pressed it to my face and then tears surged forth. I began sobbing.
I couldn't stand this. I missed him. I loved him.
So I whispered it to him. "I love you." And I kissed his knuckles. Repeatedly.
And then something startled me. A voice I hadn't heard in so long. "So you're awake now too? I see finishing that mile didn't go all too well for you, huh?" I gasped and looked up at Ash.
To confirm that it was my imagination. And sure enough he sat there rubbing the sleep out of his eyes with his other hand.
"Sorry that was probably the longest nap I'd ever taken." he said attempting to joke.
And then I pulled him to me and hugged him. I hugged him so tightly because I was so scared he would let go of me. I needed to know that this was real. And then he held me tightly.
He was back.
see this is the part where I leave yall at a cliffhanger //a/n//
