I go upstairs and lock myself in my room.I just didn't want to do anything.I am so tired.I lay in my bed staring up at my ceiling.I hear a knock at the door but don't get up to get it.Another knock,more persistent.One last knock,furious now.The knocking stopped.My phone went staticky and I assumed Ben was coming through it.
He lays next to me.Doesn't say anything,just lays next to me.I hold his hand while still staring at the ceiling.I didn't have anything to say and apparently he didn't either.
I fall asleep laying like that.It wasn't darkness like I thought it'd be.It was whiteness.Was I dying?I honestly didn't know.
"You're going to be a great mother," dad's voice mumbled.
"And you're going to be a great dad," mom's voice came out.
I could hear conversations that happened when I was younger.
"Hi,I'm your auntie Sally," Sally's voice rang out.
It was my childhood.It was flashing past me.
"I'm Liu," Liu's voice echoed. "We're going to be best friends.I promise you."
Everybody introduced themselves to me and said how they were related to me.Some even told me they were excited to meet me.All went until Ben.
"I'm Ben.You don't know me yet,but I know you.And I think you're going to be beautiful.I love you."
I felt like I was going to cry,but I didn't know what to do.All I saw was white.No faces,nothing,just blank white space.
"Don't die,please!!" I heard Ben's voice plead. "You're not dying on me now!Pleassee." I heard his sobs.I tried so badly to comfort him.To say I was alive.But my body was stiff as a board,no matter how badly he pleaded.
I didn't know if I was dying,and I hoped I wasn't.
