Hard Enough

Awaken

Amora's POV 

 My throat hurts, why does my throat hurt? When I open my eyes, I am still in the hospital which means they saved me. No! I didn't want to be saved. A tear falls gently down my cheek and then I push the nurse's button. To my surprise nurse Faith walked into the room with a surprised look on her face. She walked over to the bed and put a hand on my shoulder.

   " Welcome back, Ms. Cartos." She spoke in a soft voice. I went to talk but forgot that I had a tube down my throat. Pointing at the tube nurse Faith got where I was going with it. She took the tube out and left the room, as she left she said she was going to get me a glass of water. Nurse Faith came back in with the glass of water and handed it to me.

   After a long drink I spoke softly, " I didn't want to be saved. I should have died with them. You should have let me die!" I said getting louder. 

   " When I found you, you were barely alive. Our job is to try and saves lives to the best of our ability, not let them die." nurse faith responded. I looked down at my body, I felt weird all over. 

   " How long have I been here? Wait, where is Liel? Is he okay? Oh my god, why did I do this I should be with him!" I said ripping the IV out of my arm and trying to get up but Nurse Faith pushed me back down to the bed.

   " Amora calm down! Liel is fine your aunt is going to pick him up from school now. You will have to calm down or I will have to restrain you. Okay?" she said holding me to the bed. When I nodded she slowly released her grip on me. 

  " Can I get some water my throat is so dry and hurts alittle." I struggle alittle to get my words out. With that nurse Faith hands me the water sitting on the table. Taking a sip slowly because my trembling I try not to spill it on myself. My throat felt like there were a million little papercut being exposed to alcohol as the water went down. After a minute I clear my throat, " How long have I been out for?" I asked not really wanting the answer.

" You have been out for 12 days. The doctor didn't think you were ever going to wake up." She said looking at the ground. Just then I heard a voice from the hallway. Automatically I knew who it was.

   " Liel!" I yelled

   " Sissy!" I heard him say. Then I heard his feet run across the floor. He came running into the room and jumped up on my bed hugging me, crying. I held him closely and kissed his cheek. He pulled away and just looked at me as tears fell down his face.

   " Bubby it's okay I'm here. I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking. I'll never leave you again okay. We have to stick together."

   " I thought I lost you like mommy and daddy. I thought you weren't going to wake up. I was so scared sissy. Please don't leave me again?" He said hugging me again putting him head on my shoulder. 

   " I won't leave you again, I promise." I said putting my arms tightly around him and held him. My aunt walked through the door with a weak smile. 

   " I told them you were going to wake up. I just knew you would, you're strong." She said leaning down giving me a hug.

   " I'm so sorry. I..." I went to say but she stopped me.

" You don't have to explain honey. All that matters is that you are still alive." she said, then she walked out of the room to talk to Nurse Faith about when I could leave. My guess is a week or two. Do to my suicide attempt I'm sure they are not just going to let me leave.
