When Fate finally awakens for the last time. She was still in the same bedroom she remembered she was once in. She didn't know how long time had passed this time. What threw her awake was the same dark mans voice she had heard last time she was dreaming in the same state like this, and this time it told her.. " when you awake everything will be different and what you loved will be gone."
She was calling out for her nurse Kara that she had once before. But another lady walked in one whom she hadn't ever seen before. She was old also around the same age as Fate. Although Fate had no idea how old she was really was, cuz she had been asleep for so long.
It was only two weeks after the funeral of Stephen that Anna Lynn got the call that her mother had finally awaken again. Anna Lynn was still in grief over her dad dying and wasn't sure she was up to the visit that day, as much as she wanted to reunite with her mom, she felt she couldn't handle it, how was she suppose to tell her Stephen, her lover and faithful husband for so many years had died just two weeks prior. It would be heartbreaking for both of them so she decided she would wait a few days, let her mom be in peace for a while, before she would tell her the devastating news herself.
But things don't always work out the way you hope, and little did Anna know Fate when awoken was calling out for her husband.
"Stephen!" " Oh Nurse can you let Stephen know I have awoken. I miss him so much and how long have I been out this time?"
Hectic to answer any of those questions the nurse simply replied back with a question instead. "Fate, it's been over ten years almost eleven years since you hit your head and fell down the stairs. No body knew if you would wake up or not this time, do you remember falling?"
That's when the flood of memories filled Fate's head, Yes! She did remember the fall. And ten more years! She felt as if God must be testing her, but either way praise God she was awake. She was yearning to see Stephen again, and her daughter Anna Lynn and Noah. But when the nurse came back in she had bad news.
" Fate I am so sorry but Anna Lynn and..." she paused "Stephen can't make it in to see you again. I am so sorry." She was about to walk out after giving Fate some anxiety medicine to calm her nerves when Fate stopped her mid way.
"Wait, did they tell you why?" She was nervous now, maybe they had all moved on, maybe Stephen had moved on and forgotten all about her. She would be devastated if that were so, she was hyper ventilating now, so the nurse gave her some oxygen to help with her breathing.
" Anna Lynn did not tell me why she couldn't make it, she must be really busy, for I am sure she will come soon, though." Was all the information the nurse wanted to give Fate.
" Well, did Stephen tell you why he wasn't coming?" She questioned.
The nurses old eyes began to flood with tears, and Fate knew then something was wrong. I mean Why would she be crying? And then seconds later it hit her like a freight train slammed right into her. This wasn't about Stephen moving on, no this was about something worse, she could feel it.
" Oh! You have got to tell me. Is he...okay?" She was staring down the nurse then started begging basically " please. Please. You need to tell me what is going on. I have to know now. Please don't shut me out. I have been ill for so long, please."
" Fate, I didn't want to tell you this, I was hoping Anna Lynn would be the one to tell you... but Stephen... he... passed away two weeks ago in a bad car crash."
"What? No....No! This can't be. I didn't even get to say goodbye to him." She was bawling, she couldn't stop crying if she wanted to. " I think, I think, you should please let me be I need to think, you have done enough now, please leave." She told the nurse.
Her heart was broken. Her life shattered.
She spent that whole night up on anxiety medicine crying until she finally cried herself to sleep. That would be the last time she would sleep for she never awoke after that ever again.
Right before she fell asleep though she took one of her journals lying on the table and she wrote one last entry.
