Chapter 68: Trying
________________________

Black.

That's all I see.

black, Black, BLACK!

I fuckin hate black.

It brings back too many memories.

When I first resisted Aaron, he locked me up for five days in the basement. A dark, scary, frightening.... Pitch black basement.

Orange? Yellow?

But my eyes are still shut. Wait, no. It's like when the light is shining on you in the morning and it burns even though your eyes ARE FREAKIN SHUT!

FUCK, THIS HURTS!

Grip. Someone's holding my hand.

"RYDEL, GET THE DOCTOR!!"

Footsteps run out of the room.

Soon a crowd of people walks in.

I can't make out any words. There's too much going on.

"everyone, quiet. She getting stressed due to her surroundings."

I guess that's the doctor.

It sounded like a whisper to me, still.
But I can tell it was actually yelled.

Yet, it hurt. Everything hurts.

"Doc, lynch: room 304 is now awake."

I hear tons of footsteps leave the room. They all leave slowly; probably unsure of whether to leave me.

I don't mind. I just wish it was ME seeing her.

"Don't worry, sis. I'll tell her you wanted to see her. You're not exactly awake, but I know you."

Vanessa.

I hear her footsteps leave the room.

The grip tightens. Ross.

I want to speak. Let him know that I want him to see her. His best friend. My sister.

"Look, Laur. I know you may not love me, but I love you. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't even let you talk."

Drop.

A tear. On my hand.

He's crying?

"I-I'm sorry." He takes in a deep breath "I won't leave you. I mean, of course I want to see riks, but it can wait. Right?" He asks himself

I need to tell him to see her.

Cmon Laura! You can do this! For ross! For Rikki! For the ones you love!

He puts his head down; leaning over the bed, I guess.

"Go."

He shoots up.

My eyes won't open, but I know him. It's kinda what he always does.

"Really?"

I can't find my voice again.

Instead, I find the strength in my hand.

I rub his hand with my thumb. I let go.

He understands. He stands up and slowly walks out.

Then, of course, he runs back.

"I love you"

And he kisses me

I know it's simple, but I actually think it was pretty sweet and touching. Don't you think?

A little Ben & Amy (The Secret Life Of The American Teenager) for you up there.

Guys, this doesn't go towards all of you of course, but I feel like some of you barely comment. I understand, but I like to read your comments and see how your reactions are. Suggestion, predictions, expectations? I want to know.

Thanks!
