Two Broken People

Chapter Ten

Lucas

I paced as I heard stuff being thrown to the walls inside our shared bathroom.
"Ugh, Alyssa! Open the door!"
She didn't listen, she just kept throwing stuff and yelling.
"Alyssa."
"Why would you think I'd ever cheat on you!" The door swung open and she slapped me again.
"Huh! Huh! Lucas!"
"Lucas!"
"Lucas!" I shut my eyes as pain struck through my body. I was breathless, I couldn't breathe at all.
"Lucas, move your fingers if you can hear me." My eyes opened as I woke up to an unfamiliar place, it looked like a hospital room. There were flowers all over the room and balloons too. I looked over to the doctor.
"What the fuck!" I sounded different and slurred as if I was drunk.
"Lucas, you've been in a coma. You fell off the balcony of your condominiums 3 years ago. I will contact your family and friends."
3 years? Where's Alyssa and the babies?
"Excuse me, what year is it?"
"2016"
Time is moving backwards?
"Lucas?" I looked over to the woman standing on the side of me. She had such a familiar scent, I knew her.
"Mom?"
"Hey sweetie, how are you?"
"What happened?"
"They said you were sleep walking and fell off the balcony."
"Where's Jasmine?" Was she still alive? Was I living a different life?
"Honey, she's dead. She died a long time ago."
"Oh." I sighed. Maybe just maybe, God was giving me another chance.
"Are you okay? Do you need me for anything?"
"Just water and a cheeseburger."
"Okay, I'll be right back. I'll send your friends in here."
As she left out, Dillyn and Will came walking in.
"Hey bro, how you feeling?"
"I'm straight, honestly."
"Well, can you walk?" Will asked.
"Do you remember how to walk?" Dill joked.
"I don't know" I looked at their shocked faces as I seriously said.
"Damn man."
"That shit is crazy, so what happened?"
"They said I was sleep walking, but I remember I was dreaming about something similar to what they saying."
"What dream?"
"While I was sleep, apparently a couple years ago. I had a dream about Jasmine, I was standing on the balcony and at first I was all for it. I cried and she begged me not to jump. Then, she changed. She pushed me over the edge."
"And why were you there in the first place?"
"I was really in love with that girl and I felt like I couldn't live without her."
"Was Jasmine ever pregnant?" They looked at me strange than my moms came in the room.
"Alright, I need time with my only baby. So get out."
She handed me the food but it ended up falling to the ground. I got extremely angry as I watched my food fall. My fingers couldn't even hold my food, nor did I have enough strength.
"It's okay Lucas. We can always get you a smoothie."
"I'm straight ma, thanks."

I woke up examining the room again, I was still at the hospital. I could remember who my friends were, my family and other people I just had love for. I couldn't remember how to walk, write or even use my body properly. I probably forgot how to have sex. I chuckled at that. My mind was probably playing tricks on me, so I got up and pushed my legs off the edge. Moment of truth, I hopped down, my ankle twisted and I landed on my face. I literally stayed on my face for 20 minutes until my doctor came to check on me. I had a crook in my neck, my whole body hurts and I was heartbroken. I really couldn't walk, I felt the tears build up and I couldn't let my doctor see it.
"You have physical therapy, for 6 months. They'll teach you how to walk, write and move the way you once did before." I smiled, I'll be back to my old self in no time.

Alyssa

"Move away, I literally want nothing to do with you anymore Kenneth."
"Why not?"
"You're not what you seem to be, your fucking crazy and I mean what I said. Move."
I pushed my door open than pushed it closed but his foot stuck in the door. I quickly pushed on the door harder, in the process I triggered the alarm. It rang loudly as everyone in my condominium came out to see what was the commotion. Kenneth soon looked at them then pulled his hoodie over his head and ran down the hallway. I quickly shut my door and locked it. I secured all my windows than got ready for bed. Kenneth wasn't one of my patients though, we were in a relationship. Until he got aggressive and once I saw his true colors. I was completely done with him. I got tired of him pushing me against walls and abusing me verbally. I just couldn't take it anymore.
