I felt paralyzed. I couldn't move i couldn't speak, i couldn't see. And the little beeps of something that sounded like a computer monitor was the only thing my ears could allow me hear.
I felt week with an enormous amount of heat spreading through every bone in my body only for me to try moving my arms, but fail.
Wondering were i was and why it felt like I had been horded with pipes, I heard an unfamiliar voice fill the room along with slow approaching footsteps. "Have you noticed any signs of consciousness? "
"No" Another voice rang from beside me. A little less lively, and broken with a sing-song like twinkle to it but quite familiar.
"If she does so much as, move a finger... "
"I wouldn't hesitate to call you or any other nurse near bye ". There was a brief pause. Just before i heard the door click.
I felt limp every were. My breathing raged, and my eyes heavy. Slowly it came on to me, the smell of antibiotics and blood tonics, the clinical stench that made my stomach twist and my brain register that I was indeed in a hospital.
I felt a soft grip on my left hand .
"Baby you have to wake up okay." I would recognize that voice anywhere "it's been hard. Really hard...you're all i have left. And i can't lose you baby. Please you have to wake up."
"Mom I'm here " I tried saying but all that came out was a puff of air, my lungs felt dried and it only burned to use them.
"Mom- "
"Dian! Oh God my baby! "she screamed "nurse! Nurse! She's awake! "
Next thing i hear is heavy footsteps storming into the room .
"She, she moved her fingers !" My mother yelled causing my nose to crunch up just the tiniest little bit from the major migraine the volume of her voice was causing.
"And you are very certain? " The same feminine voice from earlier spoke.
"Very! ".
There was a few moments of silence except for the constant mumbling of sweet words to me by my mother as she gripped my hand tight, not letting go. God knows i tried my best to call out to her but my voice just stayed stuck on my throat.
Slowly the light started coming up to me as my eyes fluttered open.
It started out blurry, then i slowly adjusted to the light and that's when i saw her.
Golden blonde hair sprawled in waves around her shoulders, round plum chicks that show evidence to her healthy eating and those eyes. Intense blue green eyes i managed to inherit from her staring down at me with sadness written all over them and dried tears just below her lower lashes.
She looked like she hadn't slept for days and even still she managed to still look beautiful.
"Mom" I chocked out, hoping dearly to God that she heard me. And she did.
"Honey!" Tears that i thought were long dried up began to flow down her face. "sweet heart "she cupped my face in her hands. "thank God. I thought i was going to lose you."
"Mom what happened? "she didn't speak and her expression gave me no answer either. "Mom talk to me, what happened? And how did I end up here? "
Her lips pursed, eyes tin and fists clenched, refusing to meet my gaze she whispered. "You've been out."
"Out?" It was my turn to frown.
"I thought I lost you."
"Mom I don't understand."
