Syana Walsh moves to a new school after a tragic event takes place. Which causes her to become mute. She and her family had to take signing lessons. Her parents want them to run from what haunts her. Though she is terrified that it will come back. S...
I hear voices. But I can't see where they are coming from. I'm always hearing voices. They keep saying come back to me. It sounds like it's crying. Another voice I hear seldomly says you deserved this.
Did I deserve this? Everyone kept saying I did. But is it really true?
I look around when I see a light. Everything is now white. I sit there for a minute trying to get my eyes to adjust. I have gotten used to it being pitch black.
"Syana!" I hear. Who is that?
"Syana! You are awake." I hear again. Then I feel my hand being touched. The voices sounds so real this time.
I start seeing stuff that's not white. I see a tiled roof. Am I in the hospital? I look around and I see Reece, Jai, and dad standing around staring at me. I'm not dead. How am I not dead?
I feel an itch in my throat so I start coughing then dad hands me a cup and I drink it's contents. Water.
"What am I doing here?" I whisper.
"You sliced your wrists." Jai says sadly.
"I know, but why am I still here? I died. I made sure I did." I say.
"I was there Syana. I was there." Reece says.
"You saved me." I say. Why did he save me? "You saved me. I didn't want to be saved. Why did you save me?" I question him.
"I saved you because I love you Syana. I can't lose you." He says. I look down at my wrists and they are bandaged up.
"I'm going to go get the doctor." Jai says.
He leaves then comes back in with a guy. He's the doctor.
"Hello Syana. How are you feeling?" He asks.
"Good I guess." I say and sink back into the bed.
"Well, we have been keeping a check on you and your wounds are healing great. Tomorrow you will be released and sent to another hospital to help you." He says.
"I don't need to do that." I argue.
"You need help." Dad says, he grabs my hand and squeezes it.
"No! I am not going." I raise my voice.
"I will make a deal with you. I send you there for just a week then when you get out, you go see a therapist one time every two weeks." The doctor says.
"I don't want to go." I mutter.
"Syana, you really need to go. It will just be a week." Reece says.
I look up at him and he looks broken. Why does he look broken? I hate that.
"Okay." I softly say.
"Alright, that's good." The doctor says then leaves. It gets quiet then I realise mom's not here.
"Where is mom?" I ask.
"She really wanted to be here, but she had to be at work." Dad says.
"Oh." Is all I say.
"We need to go get you some clothes." Dad says. I nod my head then Jai and dad leaves Reece and I in here alone.
Reece sits down on the bed then grabs my hands and cuff them in his own.
"I am really sorry. I was trying to find a way where we could be together without any problems from him. Either way it went, there was still problems." Reece says. "If I wasn't there, he was going to take you and you was going to let him. Why?" He breaks.
"I had no fight left in me. I didn't care anymore. I had done lost everything. Everyone hates me." I say.
"I don't hate you. I am in love with you Syana. I can't see my life without you and I have never felt this way about anyone. You changed me. For the good." He says.
"I am in love with you also." I mutter.
Reece leans in and softly touches my lips, then he starts kissing. I kiss back. I have missed this. I have missed him. But how do I know what he is saying is true? He was really cold about it when he said everything he said to me that day.
"Where is Kyle.....?" I ask.
"Well, after I beat him he was unconscious. So, when the police and everything got there, they took him. He won't be messing with you ever again." He says.
"How do you know?" I say.
"I just know." He says.
The doctor walks in with two little cups. He strides over to me and hands both cups to me. One has a pill in it, and the other has water in it.
"What is this?" I ask.
"That is an anti-depressant. Today is the day you start taking those. Tomorrow when you leave and go to the other hospital, they will be having you take those everyday and when you are released you are to still take those." He says. I nod my head then pour the pill in my mouth and drink the water to wash it down.
"When you get out of that hospital, I want to take you somewhere. Somewhere special." Reece says once the doctor leaves.
"Where?" I ask.
"It's a surprise." He says. I nod my head.
"Why do you want to be with a freak like me?" I ask with tears welling up in my eyes. I really want to know, I have so much baggage that comes with me.
"I see potential in you. When I first laid eyes on you, I knew you had something bad happen to you. You may have a lot of flaws, but I love every single one of them. So what if you have scars? I don't care about that. I love every bit of it. If anything, everything that you have gone through makes you ten times better. You are brave Syana. You have gone through a lot, and you are still here." He says. By now, the tears have spilled out of my eyes.
"But I tried to kill myself." I mutter.
"Yes, you did. But you are still here. You are still here because you wasn't ready to leave. You still had fight in you whether you knew it or not." He says. "I love you and as long as you will let me, I will always be here."
I reach up and I press my lips softly against his. Our lips start moving in sync. I just wish this moment could last forever.
But, great things always has to end so new moments can come along.
