As I sat in my hospital bed with the stale smell of cleaner my close friends and family gathered around me weeping and begging for me to come back. Before I close my eyes I see the face of my boyfriend the last feeling I remember his hand holding my hand the heat of his body warming mine with droplets of his tears hitting my arm and hand and then evrything faded out of existence.
Everything was dark I felt so numb my face was wet with tears and the only noise that could be heard were my sobs begging just to see my boyfriend, my best friends, my mom, and all my siblings but now I know I'll never see them again as I open my eyes in sad realization I see a bright light slowly growing brighter I hear screams of pain and soothing words being said in Responce "it's ok darling it'll all be over soon we will have our baby girl in our arms in no time, just keep pushing" I heard a deep voice explain that's when I realized the tears were still streaming down my face but my sobs didn't sound like my own they sound like the cry of a baby's but the noise was in synch with my unsteady breath they had to be mine but it sounded so unfamiliar
I craved the familiarity of the hospital bed I once lied in hooked up to the IV and the heart monitor I missed the things I thought I never would. I missed waking up early to go to school I missed my teachers monotone voices droning on about homework or an up coming text I missed the whining voice of my baby sister and the yells of my brother when he would die in his video game
What I missed most was my moms cooking and my sisters giggle when I would tickle her I missed my brother pooping on the coach next to me to watch pretty little liars which he secretly liked. I missed the way my boyfriend would hold me and the taste of his lips I miss how my two best friends could always make me laugh when I thought I would never laugh again god I miss all of it but it's all gone. And now I'm being reborn soon to forget all of my past life soon to forget the pain, love, happiness all of it. But that's the problem I don't want to I want to hold on to every memory I have of them all I don't ever want to forget them because I know they will never forget me.
