Forget Me Not.

Chapter 3

6 months. 6 months and 7 days. That's how long she's been asleep. Everyday I would come to see her. I'll sit down and I'll massage her feet because I know how much she loves when I do that. If only I could hear her voice, her laugh when I keep pulling her toes. But it never came. Everyday I dreaded what was to come.

I changed the water in the new bouquet of forget me nots and stood by her side.

"How are you Zu? It's been 6 months and seven days and I still haven't seen those beautiful eyes of yours and that dimpled smile and even your annoying voice," I laughed. " Please wake up, I miss you." I sniffles and dragged a chair at the foot of her bed and took her two feet in my hands and began massaging. And that's when I felt it, that's when I felt the movement of her toes and heard a small cough. I never thought I would be so ecstatic to hear the sound of someone's cough like that. Even though it sounded really raspy and dry.

Zumiah's POV

It feels like forever since I've seen faces. For the longest while I've been stuck in my mind behind a closed door and I've been looking for the key for a very long time. The walls are plain white and the room is empty.

I miss my parents, my sister, my brothers. I miss my best friend. Day after day I hear voices, I know my family and the doctors are there but I keep hearing a male voice talking to me, telling me he has my favourite flowers and oreos. Sometimes when I hear he has oreos I try fighting to get up but I keep getting pushed back down. Today like any other day I heard someone came in the room.

"How are yu Zu?" It sounds like the same guy. " Its been 6 months and seven days and I still haven't seen those beautiful eyes of yours and that dimpled smile and even your annoying voice, " He laughed. "Please wake up, I miss you. " Then I heard a sniffle and dragging of a chair, and not long after I felt someone massaging my feet, most likely him. And that's when I found it, the key lying lonely by the side of the big brown door. I picked it up and turned it inside the lock and I hear a click and I was welcomed with white.

  I never thought I could have done that again but I managed to wiggle my toes and let out a small cough slowly began opening my eyes but when it met with the bright light I quickly squeezed it shut. Everything in the room almost reminds me of death.

"Zu? Doctor!!! My gosh it's finally happening, drink some water Zu" I slowly opened my eyes and took the peach coloured cup from his hands and took only two big gulps to finish it. That felt refreshing.

Zayden's POV

I was joyful. I pressed the button next to her bed and within 10 seconds the room was almost filled with her family and nurses. The nurses began checking her and I have her family a chance to hug her. When they were done I walked up to her with the biggest smile on my face but the words that came out her mouth made me stumble back.
