Half A Heart

Alive

Everything around me was white and I didn't know where I was.

I saw someone approaching me.

Mum,I screamed as I ran to hug her.

My jewelry, she hugged me back.

Welcome home,she smiled letting go of me.

What..what do you mean,I stammered.

You are home now,away from the wicked word,she smiled.

No,it can't be.

I can't be dead.

I looked at my skin and it was glowing, my clothes were all white.

I looked back at my mum who was smiling at me not caring if her daughter just died.

No mum,I have to go back,I pleased.

Why,she asked confused.

I can't leave,I can't leave Reid,I cried.

I..I love him.

My mum smile quickly change into anger.

You are going no where,I have waited to be with you,she held my hands pulling me with her.

Please mum,let go,I tried to push her hands away.

We continued like that until something happened.

Someone else appeared behind her.

I couldn't see who it was but I knew that it was someone.

Why do you struggle with death,the voice asked.

Because the people I love need me,I answered back.

But I love you,my mum cried.

I know mum,but you will always live inside me,I smiled at her.

Suddenly my mum and the unknown person started walking away.

Where you going,I called after them.

They didn't reply as they continued to walk further away from me.

I watched as my white surrounding started to fade.

Mum,I cried.

Carol POV

My eyes opened in a quick motion.

Was that a dream or did that really happened.

I looked around and everything was looking different.

I turned to my left and I saw Derek beside me.

I placed my hand on his hair hoping to wake him up.

He slowly lifted his head to look at me.

His eyes were wide as he stood up quickly making the chair to fall back.

Carl,you are alive,he cried.

I looked at him confused.

The doctor told us that you couldn't make it,that your heart had already stopped beating,but I didn't want to believe, I didn't want to give up,Derek cried hugging me tightly but not enough to hurt me.

I tried to speak but nothing came out.

Derek handed me some water and I drank it.

How long was I out,I asked when I found my voice.
