I Want To Live

Chapter 5

       Why did I jump in front of that car? I heard the doctor talking to my mom. The man in the car was badly injured.

       His name is Quinn. I never saw his face. Apparently he was calling his wife and driving at the time when I jumped. He tried to swerve around me but it was too late. He ended up injuring himself more and me less. I hope he's okay. I could never live with myself if he died.

      My favorite nurse came in today. Her name is Liza. She treats me like is awake. She tells me when she's going to stick a needle in me or if something was going to hurt. Other nurses don't do that. I do feel pain, but they just think I'm just a corpse with special care.

      My boyfriend came to visit again. He came in right as Liza was leaving. She pulled him aside a said I could still hear people's conversations and should stop have conversations with me. If I had control of my body, I might of smiled. But I didn't.

     Draco thanked her and came over to my bedside. He grabbed my hand and absetmindly massaged my fingers. He didn't say much. Suddenly, he pressed a kiss to my forehead. He sucked in a breath.

     "Is it my fault? Did I make you do this? Why did you jump in front of that car?" He sighed.
      
      "Are you even listening? Give me a sign. Please, I need to know you're there." He waited.

     I want to. Believe me, I do. I'm trying so hard. My fingers twitch. Draco gasps. He runs out of the room, shouting for a nurse.
  
     I did it. I finally moved! I tried to do it again. Draco and Liza ran in. Liza went over to my heart rate board. She smiled.

     "Her heart rate went up a little, when you said she moved her hand. But that doesn't mean anything. She's still in the coma." Liza stops, considering what to say, and continues, "I'm sorry."

      Draco squeezes my hand and gets up and leaves. I didn't want him to go, but I would feel defeated too. In fact, I do feel defeated.

      When will my life become normal and easy again?
