"Doctor! Nurse! My baby is awake. Come quick" I heard a voice shout seemingly of my mom.

At the time the doctor came in, I had opened my eyes. I looked around noticing my surrounding. I was in a hospital. Who brought me here? I saw my mom who had teary eyes with a happy smile. I smiled weakly at her.

Then I looked beside her and locked my eyes with Noah, whose eyes were twinkling with happiness. I hate myself for doing this to myself. I didn't knew it would affect them so much. I thought they didn't want me.

But that changed when Noah told me everything about his ex- girlfriend and his parents. That how he was broken just like me. And when he told me the words ' I love you ' for the first time I just wanted to wake up and hug him for all my life. But I couldn't because I did damage to myself. That I believed in the words of his ex-girlfriend. I don't regret anything as much as I do about this. My chain of thoughts was interrupted by the doctor.

" Hello Ms. Zeisha. I'm your doctor. How are you feeling?" The doctor asked politely.

"I-I.." I wanted to speak but couldn't do so. My throat was very sore and speaking hurts.

"Wa-ter" I managed to ask with a croaked broken voice.

The doctor quickly nodded and grabbed a glass of water and gave it to me.

I gulped down the water quickly and cleared up my throat to speak.
"I'm fine doctor. But my head hurts." I muttered softly.

" It's because you hit your head pretty hard. It will surely go away soon with our medications. How's your wrist ?" He asked concernedly.

" It feels fine" I mumbled touching my wrist. Ouch. It hurts. But the doctor saw past my facade.

" Zeisha you don't need to lie. You were in coma for about one week because of that wrist cut. Would you like to tell me why do you self-harm?" He asked precautionaly. One week. I was in coma for one week.

I knew this question was coming. I knew I would be asked why I did this. I cannot tell them. I just can't.

" I don't want to talk about it" I muttered as I looked at my Mom's and Noah's Face. They were looking at me worriedly. But I couldn't look them in the eyes.The doctor sighed out.

" That's fine Zeisha. But we have to do something about your self-harming and an attempt to suicide. We have to make sure that you wouldn't do it again. You are being appointed a therapist. He is very good at his job. He can help you. I'm sure that you wouldn't have a problem with it?" The doctor muttered in a strict and firm tone.
