Endurance

Chapter FOUR

Darkness..

All I can see and feel is darkness.. I can't describe the void, but it feels like I'm in hell.. Or somewhere worse.. I've always been a coward of darkness, but this is much more..

I hear some muffled voices, doors opening and closing every now and then.. I feel someone's hand on mine. I want to open my eyes, escape this darkness, I want to say something, but I can't. I try to do anything, but I can do nothing..

I wonder where am I? or what's happening? who stands beside me? Am I really in hell? Does hell look like everything and nothing? Does it feel like someone stole your sight, and left you blind with a bare soul?

Have I been kidnapped? Have they put a cloth around my eyes to not recognize them ? To not see the knife that's held across my neck?

But it didn't feel like there was some cloth around my eyes.. It felt like I just can't see.. The darkness was consuming me.. It's not that there was a cloth stopping me.. It felt like my own eyes was stopping me..

I tried to focus on things around me, the voices, the movements, but all I could do was remembering what happened last. I know we were having fun in a gig, me and my siblings. I remember that I headed to the bathroom, I bumped into someone..

I remember his eyes. Two deep blue ocean orbs..

I then remember the blood coming straight from my nose, the worried eyes of Kate and Alex, and then again.. Darkness..

Suddenly I felt a peek of light. It was so little and felt so far away, but I decided to focus on it maybe then I would get out of here, open my eyes or something, whatever felt right. Soon enough I regained my sight..

The first thing I saw was light, light everywhere. Have I been promoted to heaven?

"She's waking up!" Kate's very familiar voice came from near me. My sight was blur so I squinted my eyes to see her.

I squinted more and blinked a lot until I finally saw Kate holding my hand and sitting near me, then I noticed that I'm on a bed, a very comfy bed but not my bed. I then moved my eyes around to see that everyone is standing beside me, mom, dad, Alex, and Kate. I looked around to see that I'm in a very white room, and by that I mean a white  four walls, white single bed - where I'm laying -, white two chairs on my right - which was occupied with Kate and a very worried Mom, both leaning to look at me - and a white sofa on my left where Dad and Alex were standing in front of it. The room was medium sized, and I think I'm in a hospital. I looked under the duvet to clear the fact that I was naked - because I felt so - to see that - Thank God - I'm decent wearing a blue robe that patients wears when in a hospital. My hand had this needle that attached to a tube and have some liquid in it - I hope it's water, I'm kinda thirsty - then I think again.. I'm in a hospital. I'm in a freaking hospital. Oh, great. Note the sarcasm..

"Hey! How you feel?" Dad said smiling sweetly at me, playing with my hair that was scattered on the pillow.

"I..I'm thirsty" no matter how much I wanted it to be normal, my voice felt sore, and I hated it.

Alex nodded his head as if 'I got it' gesture, and walked out of the door.

"How long have I been...sleeping?" I asked no one in particular, just wanting to ease their worried faces. I'm talking, see! I wanted to say.

"Two days." Kate said, still holding onto my hand.

"What?! Two what?!" I was shocked. Two freaking days of sleep. I tried to get up, but Dad held me mid way " Wow! Slow down." he said.

"I'm not sick, Dad! just let's go home, I want out of here." now I was sitting in bed, looking pretty pissed off. Of what! Don't ask I just really hate being sick and in a hospital.

Kate and Dad tried to calm me, bu there I noticed that my Mom was awfully quiet. I looked at her, our gazes met and I knew right then and there that I'm doomed with some sickness and I'm going to die. Mom's feeling is always right. when she worries, we all have to be..
