In The Eyes of Me

Chapter 10

My ears were ringing and I opened my eyes to a big light that almost blinded me. The ringing in my ears turned into rhythmed beeping. I turned my over, my vision was blurry, I could barley make out a woman in mint green scrubs. My mouth was so dry, it was like I hadn't drank any water in years. I opened my mouth to speak "h-hello" the woman looked over at me, it took a moment, then her eyes widened and her mouth fell open, it took a moment but she stumbled out of the room yelling "DOCTOR, DOCTOR"

I was told to sit and stay in bed until the doctor showed up and check up on me. I looked around the barren room "wish they would put up some poster's in this room" a woman dressed in a white coat walked in she was holding a clipboard with a anxious look on her face. She sat down in chair placed next to my bed, she looked up at with shiny eyes and said "dear do you know...how long you were a sleep" I did know but I wanted to make sure that I was correct so shrugged at her "You have been in a comatose state for six years my dear" I knew it half of my life wasted in a bed dreaming about what perceived as my life. I looked at my hands that  gripped the sheet that I have been covered with, I felt as though a damn was about to break and I tried to hold it back but...failed. Six years of emotions fell out of my eyes onto the bed sheets, I was crying and couldn't stop.

After an hour of sobs and screams I finally calmed down. The doctor told me I was to stay in the hospital for a few more days to run some tests and see if I was completely healthy.

One day I was in the room on a chair reading Peter Pan and staring out the window. The doctor came in and looked at me and smiled, she placed down a new pitcher of water on the night stand for me, She them began to take some notes on my chart. What seemed like out of no where I looked over and asked "Do you if a boy named Shei was under the same comatose as me?" She looked at me dumfounded about abrupt question "Well all I know is that there were multiple people from different countries that were also apart of this experiment" she replied. She looked at the chart and back to me "Why do you ask this?" she said "Because...I was not alone there, There was a boy by the name Shei Young and was there to keep me company, I don't know if I created him or if was real...I just wanted ask" She pondered for a moment and said "Ill look into that for you, in the mean time I came to tell you will be released tomorrow afternoon, your mother will pick you up" I nodded.

I stood in front of the mirror dressed in a basic outfit, a tee-shirt and jeans. I waited for my mother in the employees lounge. I was reading a magazine that was on the table "man fashion changed real quick" The doctor walked in with a socked look on her face "Do you remember when you were telling me about a boy by the name of Shei Young?" I was confused "yes..." she stalled for a moment "well we have found records of a boy by that name, apparently you two went under around the same time putting you into the same sever as him" my eyes widened and breathing stunted for a second. I couldn't believe It, the boy I had spent six years with was alive.

After mine and the doctor's conversation I went down to the lobby to wait for my mother. I waited for what seemed like hours when a woman walked into the hospital, she was a short and thick woman with black hair cut into a long bobbed style, she looked tired and stressed, of the stress aged her more then she should have. When she walked in she stopped, tears welled up in her eyes, laugh lines and crows feet peeked up around her face as she smiled through her tears "V-veronica...?" she stifled out as she walked towards me, tears began to appear in my eyes as well when she approached "Mom...?" I said. I ran towards her and embraced her in a tight hug, we were both crying. 

We both got into the car, it was silent, she didn't start it up we just sat there, finally she broke it and asked "did you dream, were you alone?" I looked at her and said "not quite, I told her about the life I had in the simulation and about Shei and the new worlds I made. For the first time I felt a new emotion that I hadn't felt in a long time...Love.
