-----------------------------Malik's P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------
Darkness was all around me and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t escape it and the pain was agonizing. God why does it hurt so much. What the hell happen anyway? I gave up on trying to escape the darkness a while ago and I heard so many things like my mom's desperate cries for me to wake up and my dad and Darnell telling me that they were there and that I would be with them soon .they even told me play by play about the games I missed I could hear music probably my mom's doing. I felt doctor poking and moving me sometimes. I also heard my friends clowning around being dumb and I think I heard Mya crying and I which I could reach out and touch and tell her I was ok but I couldn’t and it was f*cking frustrating and I don’t know how long I’ve been out of it but not once did I hear from Asia. Once I heard dad saying she wasn’t coming and that hurt I would be there in a flash for her but I guess it was one sided.
I wanted to scream because of the pain but my body wasn’t working it was like my body and mine brain just wasn’t connected. I heard my door creak open then closed. I heard footsteps and then a chair being scraped across the room. I wait but whoever the person was didn’t say anything for a while.
"Hey" I heard them finally say shyly. I was surprised that it was Asia maybe she did care after all. "I know what you're thinking 'so you finally decided to show up uh'. Hell yeah that what I’m thinking among other things." I’m sorry I was just scarred" She gently grabbed my hand like I would break “I miss you so much" her voice broke” god Malik why did you have to be so stupid" I felt her lay her head on the bed" You promised" even though I couldn’t see her I could tell she was crying" You promised you'd be safe" she whispered.
I felt like sh*t more than I already do more then I will when I wake up, whenever that is. I just had to be stupid and I knew I shouldn’t have been hanging out with those assholes but I didn’t think it would get out of hand. I heard a beeping sound going rapidly and I realize it was my heart. I had to relax and focus on waking up. She didn’t say anything and after a while I felt her kiss my forehead. I couldn’t let her leave not yet. My body started to feel lighter and the noise seem to be louder and closer than before. I tried to use my voice but nothing was working. I heard the door open and I forced my eyes open, them only opening slightly.
"Asia" I said my voice raspy from not using it and it hurt like a b*tich to talk but I didn’t care.
She turned around "Malik?"
----------------------------------------------Asia's P.O.V--------------------------------------------------------------
I was completely dumbfounded. I hesitantly walked closer to him, he tried to sit up but I quickly but gently pushed on his shoulder making him lay down
"Don’t move ok?" I whispered watching him warily. He looked at me through hooded eyes that he kept scrunching together like he was in pain" are you in any pain?" I asked looking over him not really knowing what to do
"Where have you been?' he croaked and cleared his throat and that made him wince. I couldn’t meet his eyes so instead I looked for water I found some on a tray and gave it to him in a straw. He weakly raised his hand in pitiful attempt to grabbed it. I raised the straw to his lips and after taking as much as he could he just stared at me. I put the water down and sat in one of the chairs. No one said anything and I just felt tension in the room. It wasn’t supposed to be like this we should be smiling and laughing and thanking god that he was awake
"I’m sorry" I whispered he gave me a blank stare” I was scarred I guess and I just couldn’t see you like this" I said my lame excuse of why I didn’t visit, it seem to just make matters worst
"I don’t care I would of been there for you no matter how I felt. I guess it shows I much you care"
"god Malik" I said standing up and walking over to his bed" of course I care my life has been hell without you" I said close to tears and he closed his eyes" I know I should of been here" I said. His hand slowing reached mine and squeezed it slightly
"I’m sorry' he mumbled looking at me his eyes seeming more alert
"For what" I asked confused
“For breaking my promise"
"You heard me?" I asked sitting on the side of his bed
"I heard everything I even heard Deshawn and Vincent singing to me for some reason" he said laughing lightly and then wincing in pain." how long was I out" he coughed and moved up the bed to get more comfortable
"About a month" I said watching wishing he would stop moving because I didn’t want him to hurt himself
"Oh' was all he said before he started groaning.
"What’s wrong" I said panic
"I-I don’t know" he stuttered and started groaning again"ahhhhhh" he shouted. I ran out the room trying to find and nurse or a doctor. A nurse came in followed by Dr. James
"It’s good to see your awake Malik" Dr. James said checking his vitals
"What a hell of a way to wake up" he shot back through gritted teeth
"We’re going to give you some pain medication to ease the pain ok"
"why is he hurting so much" I asked after I text dad and Ebony that he was awake knowing she'd tell everybody
"His body is just trying to catch up with its self from not being in use for a long period of time... there that should do it you might start to feel drowsy so just relax you'll need all the rest you can get" he said patting his shoulder
"When can I go home “Malik Asked?
"probably by next week after we run some test and make sure everything is how it’s supposed to be and I’ll talk to your parents about you going to physical therapy to gain strength in your bones “he said writing some things on his chart “if you need anything else let me know" he said walking over to me” I told you not to give up hope” He said loud enough for only me to hear. I smiled at him before he left
"Asia" Malik called out
"What’s up" I said walking up to his bed
"I want to go home" he said crossing his arm over his chest looking like a four year old, his eyes starting droop guessing the medicine was kicking in
I laughed “I know everybody should be up here soon"
"Oookay” he slurred his eyes closing and then he was out like a light
