Chapter 4

Chapter 4

"Hey wake up you ungrateful child" I know that voice, it's Gregg's. "You've been given second chance and you were gonna waste it on sleeping, come on wake up."

"Am I dead yet?"

"No you're not, you wasted 2 days is what you did. I told you, sleeping means 2 days off."

"I thought they unplugged the machines?"

"They will do it next week, I told you, you'll have two weeks. You manage to go through the first week. Now you have one more week to go."

"man, what do I have to do this time."

"Stay plugged for the next 16 days." And he disappears again. This guy I swear. So im still alive for now.

I rushed my self to the hospital. I go to my room and found Dianna there.

"You, you disappear on me after saying all those stuff, how could you!"

"What? I thought you unplug me so I went off to die in peace. Turns out when I wake up, I'm still here! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was gonna tell you on the rooftop." she drag me out of the room "How did you know his laptop passwords?"

"Dianna, the only answer you're gonna get is—"

"because you are him."

"Yes, I am! are we on the same page now?"

She step closer to me and put both of her hands on my face, and she gaze into my eyes.
"You really are him aren't you? but how?"

"Yes Dianna, I am Him."

"This is crazy."

"Imagine how I feel.16 days, that's all I'm asking. I promise you I will wake up." I hugged her tight not wanting to let go.

*******

Few days passes by. I've been hanging out with Dianna a lot. Sometimes we go to the hospital to watch me. I'm starting to get used to it now. 12 more days to go and then I'll be back to my own body.

I was sitting next to my body in the hospital. So this is how people see me huh. In a coma, strap into so many wires and tubes. God I look pathetic. After a while, Dianna came in, and I hugged her.

"Hey" suddenly I feel that suffocation in my chest, I think I know what's about to happen.

"Dianna, call the nurse now." My breathing gets heavier and heavier,

"wha—what? hey- what's "

"NOW DIANNA!" as soon as I said that, the machine started beeping. I feel myself becomes heavier, and I was unable to support myself. I fell to the ground knelling down, holding my chest. Nurses came with the crash cart, they opened up my shirt and press two iron electrical charge thing down on my chest. They counted, Clear! It hurts, it feels like my heart was about to burst. I can feel what my body feels. Seeing how I reacted to this Dianna come rushing on to me.

"Are you okay? Omg" then suddenly,

"Who are you talking to?"

"What? Him."

"Him who?" what does this mean? They can't see me. The nurses can't see me? Does it mean that im really about to die.

"I don't think they can see me now Dianna, I don't know how."

1, 2, 3, Clear!

"Gahhhh" I shouted on top my lungs. Tears started running down her face. I hear a voice in my head, it was Gregg's. yes im sure of it.

"Remind her, Matt." That voice says.

"Dianna, no matter what remember 12 days. I beg you." she drew her arm out to hug me, but suddenly it just went through me. She can't touch me anymore.

"Matt it's time." I feel a gravity pull down my gut. It almost made me sick. Dianna looked away for one second. And then the pulls happen. Suddenly I am back in that room. I left her puzzled like that. Please down give up on me Dianna. Please.

"Gregg, what just happened." I asked him as he made his way into the room

"You ran out of time Matt. From now on, you'd be invisible. Your current body is belonged to somebody. And it has to be returned."

"What do you mean? I thought he doesn't exist?"

"He does, and now you're back to your own self. Therefore nobody can see you."

"How do I know that Dianna won't give up on me?"

"We just have to wait and see. Matt I hope you survive , I really do."

"Me too."
