EYES [a Phanfic]

recovery.

I finally break free from the paralysis.

I curl myself up, thinking the eyes will burn and hit my leg on some sort of bar. 

My heart skips a beat.

I yell a bit from the unexpected knock to my leg.

I feel a touch on my shoulder and jolt my head to the side to see my best friend standing there.

My heart is pounding.

My eyes meet his.

...

It's ok.

I'm ok.

They don't hurt.

I'm just being paranoid.

I finally come to my senses and sit up.

"Dan, how are you feeling? I really hope you're ok, I'm worried"

The words are trying to come out of my mouth, but are spilling out in awkward ways.

"I- i'mmm.... wh-.. what happ-- I mean... I'm fi- ... I'm good, yeah. What happened?"

"There was this man, and a lady..."

"Wow, real descriptive, Phil"

"Well, you know! ... you just got hit in the head really hard..."

I hold up my hand to feel a damp bandage around my forehead.

A familiar face waltzes into the white room.

"Louise, there you are!" Phil says, in relief.

"I'm sorry, I had to do woman stuff!" She states back.

"Could you all just tell me what happened" I blurt out with a bit of annoyance.

Louise sighs and starts to explain what happened.

My heart beat becomes more rapid as the memory starts to replay in my mind.
