Careless ( A Mindless Behavior story )

Coma

Christina . . . .

I opened my eyes to find that I was in a dark place. I kept hearing someone call my name over and over again. I started following the voice. The closer I got, the louder the voice was.

"Christina!"

"Mom?" My mother... My fucking mom was standing right in front of me.

"Am I dead ma?" I said, with sadness and curiosity dripping from my voice.

"No baby girl, you've been in a coma for 5 weeks. But you will die if you don't fight for your life."

"No, I'd rather stay with you than be down there! Do you see what your 'sister' and her husband did to me?!?" I yelled and took off my hoodie. My mom didn't look the least bit surprised.

"That woman has always hated me as a child. I never understood. When we were kids, she used to always beat me up and stuff until one day I got tired of it and I beat her, badly. I knew she'd want to get me back.... I just didn't know she would kill me." My mom said, her voice trailed off and I could tell she was hurt. I started crying so hard.

"Don't cry Christina, you don't have to go back to that house. But you need to start standing up for yourself. I know about your little plan. Don't kill them. I know you're more bright , you'll figure out a way to get those bastards back. Fight for you life baby." She explained. I shook my head vigorously.

"No ma. I wanna stay here, you and papa are the only ones that have ever love me. No one loves me down there. Everyone hates me." By now tears were running down my face non-stop.

"You push people away Christina. Someone does love you. You'll find out who. Just stop pushing people away. Now, run towards that light over there." She said. I gave her a big hug as she kissed my forehead.

"Bye baby-girl..." She said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Bye ma.." I started running towards the light.

I opened my eyes to see that I was in a hospital room. I up slowly receiving a sharp pain in my leg. I yelled, but nothing came out. I looked in the corner and saw a boy with low cut black hair. He was slouched over in the chair ; probably asleep. I started clapping, trying to get his attention. He shot up out of his seat and looked at me with wide eyes.

"You're awake!!!" He said as he hugged me. I furrowed my eyebrows. Who is this ? He walked outside and came back in with a nurse.

"Hi Ms. Christina, you woke up earlier than we expected." She said with a smile, I opened my mouth but nothing came out.

"Ahh, yes. As we suspected you'd be mute. I'm guessing you don't know who this is." She said as she pointed to the guy next to her. I shook my head.

"Yeah, you have mild amnesia. You'll gain your memory back soon,hopefully, just don't rush it." She said as she looked between me and the boy.

"This must be your girlfriend?" She asked. He shook his head a simple 'no'

"Well, Christina. He's been coming here everyday and night. Sitting in that chair in the corner." She said as she patted him on the back. She walked up to me and whispered "He's a keeper" in my ear. I smiled awkwardly as she left the room. I looked at the boy with a confused face.

"I'm Craig... You don't remember me?" He said .
