Frankie's Point of View
--
"We are almost there." Zach says.
"Ok." I pant.
"Are you ok? Do you need to rest for a second?"
I nod vigorously and lay down on the ground. Zach sits down next to me and plays with the grass.
"I'm sorry." He says.
"For what?"
"For leaving you."
"What leaving me? You were forced into it. And besides, I wouldn't have realized how much I cared for you if you hadn't been stolen from me."
Zach nods his head and gets up. He holds out his hand for me. I try to get up,but my body doesn't respond to my body. Is this what it feels like to be paralyzed? Having no control of your body?
"I can't get up.", I state.
I see Zach's eyes flash with worry for a second and then he picks me up like a baby.
"I'm not giving up on you that fast.", he grunts. He starts walking to some kind of field.
"Um... Are you sure this is the right way?", I question.
"Yep."
He continues walking and eventually lays me down next to some kind of patch.
"We're here.", he starts searching for something. "Come on! They were here last week! Just because it's fall doesn't mean they all died!", he frantically searches through the weeds.
The sounds slowly grow faint. I close my eyes. It suddenly got so much harder to breath.
In. Out. In. Out.
"Ah ha! Found one, Frankie! Frankie?"
In. Out. In. Out. In.
I feel someone open my mouth, slightly. I feel like I'm in a dream and my body is becoming some else's.
Out. In. Out. In. Out.
"Frankie! Come on! Swallow!!", I hear someone crying, someone from a very distant land that I was only part of for a brief time.
In. Out.
Why am I trying to breath again?
Zach.
The name sneaks up on me and makes my fading heart beat a little faster.
"Frankie! Come on Frankie! This is the part where you wake up! I can't do this without you!"
I start to breath for this person calling me.
In. Out. In. Out.
It is harder than ever, but I have perceverance. And Zach.
The memories become clearer than ever. Zach. Love.
"Frankie? Are you still there?! Can you hear me? Swallow!"
In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.
Swallow? What is that again? Oh yea. I focus on my tongue and feel something fuzzy on it.
I use all my energy to swallow. Feels weird.
In, out, in, out.
Breathing becomes easier.
In out in out in out in out in out in out.
Now that that's covered, I focus on opening my eyes.
Flutter. Flutter. Flutter. Open.
In front of me is the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Zach. Relief floods his face.
I get feeling in the rest of my body very quickly.
I reach up, put my arms around him and pull him down.
"Whoa-", he starts, but gets blocked off because at that moment I kiss him. He is stunned for a second, but soon returns the kiss.
Best kiss ever with the one I love.
This is not the end, it was never the end.
It's only the beginning.
I kiss Zach again.
