➳ I'M alive. Somehow.
I sat straight up and felt indescribable pain running all through my body, but... I am alive.
Immediately, I started to rip off the things plugged into my body to keep me breathing while I was... in that situation. I used the machine next to me to help myself up and out of bed, and nearly tripped over a cord, but held on for dear life.
I stumbled away the rolling heart machine and used the bed for a while until I hopped from that to the door handle. I felt like a newborn deer trying to walk for the first time since it's probably been a while since I've been on my feet.
I have no idea how I am alive right now. My arms were wrapped up and I was sure there were stitches underneath, showing what I had done to myself. I probably lost a lot of blood, too. I can't believe what I did. Why would I do that to my girls like that?
I finally mange to twist the knob and the door opened, as I yanked it wide open, and caught myself before I could fall down to the ground. I stumbled outside and quickly realized just where in the hell I was. The Kingdom, but more darker than I've ever seen it before. It was like this giant black cloud hung over this once peaceful community, raining in places it should be sun-shining at. The mood had changed drastically here, and I didn't want to stick around for the aftershock.
Alas, I tapped my feet to the ground and tried to stand with ease. It was a tad bit better now, but I knew that I would have to practically have physically therapy again. I didn't have much going for me right now, but I will improve.
I heard small laughter off in the distance, which seemed to be surprising now that the Kingdom was so gloomy. People are standing around, but nobody has yet to notice me standing there — which was better for me to take in my surroundings before being hounded.
My vision finally rested over on Mollie, who was off in the distance standing with Aaron and Daryl. I didn't see Tory, but I didn't wait around when I called out for my oldest daughter. I jumped forward and called out, "Mollie!"
It took her a moment, but Mollie finally came around to turning her head around and her eyes settled on me. At first, she was completely fine — and that's when I started to believe that she truly pissed at me. I'm mad at myself, too, trust me.
However, her eyes started to widen and her face dropped when she saw me. Immediately, she turned her body around and started running towards me at full-speed. "Mommy!"
She appeared to be like a child again, running when her mother calls for her. Tears were already streaming down her cheeks, running off as she ran.
