"Paul, it's been hours! Why isn't she awake yet?"
"Luna, let her sleep for a little bit longer. She needs time to heal."
"Is she going to be okay?"
"We can't predict anything, Luna."
I shuddered in response after hearing Paul's small and trembling voice, making every part of my body alarmed to life. The whole world in front of me was the epitome of darkness that sucked me in; only sounds of footsteps, incoherent mumbles, and sobs were in my sense. My mind kept playing the broken cassette of my misery, which seemingly was so glad to waltz happily over my sanity.
"It's my fault! If I didn't have this crazy plan to reunite them again, she wouldn't... wouldn't— Oh, Moon Goddess! Please forgive me! My child, please wake up soon. I'm so sorry! So sorry!"
Words blurred into some fits of heavy sobs, causing my heart tighten its grip on my chest. Warmth pooled in my eye, connecting with the darkness that still surrounded me. I was trying so hard to reach for even the dimmest light inside this darkness; to tell that I was fine and I was going to be okay eventually, just like what I did in saving myself after the first rejection.
Even though, it was a complete failure.
"Heidi." Selena's soft voice shook me awake from drowning in the pit of tangled thoughts. The soft voice that I found soothing and encouraging me to overcome anything on my way.
The voice of a friend.
"I'm sorry for forcing to take control of your body and make you unconscious and weak. I'm sorry that I'm such a greedy person to never consider your feeling, and instead putting my feeling over yours. I'm sorry that... I'm sorry that I fight for our mate w- with- without—" Sobs were echoing in the deepest part of my mind, while making a harmony with the ones which were entering my ear and mind. The tears were knocking my eye socket threateningly, making me aware that they would run down my face any minute now.
It's okay, Sel. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm fine, and I'm sure I'll be fine.
"N- No, Honey. I shouldn't have put my feelings all over you. It- It's just that... I lost it. I lost it when he and his idiot mouth found some excuses in rejecting us. To save you? Really? I couldn't believe it! I just... I just..."
"Look! Paul! She's crying! Oh, my child! Wake up, Darling! I'm so sorry!" A pair of trembling, yet warm hands suddenly clutched my left hand tightly. "Paul, she's listening to us! Check her, please!"
Another pair of warm hands engulfed my other hand and squeezed it, as if giving some silent encouragement that everything would be alright once I opened my eye. But, a strong urge to just curl up in the darkness and avoid whatever going my way was nearly bursting my heart into pieces. I just wanted to hide deeper and deeper, allowing myself getting drowned in the pit of darkness and forgetting everything.
