Zoella Pov
As I burst into Chloe's hospital room, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God!" The shock of the moment hit me hard.
Eva, right behind me, quickly asked, "What happened?"
I rushed closer to Chloe, my heart racing. "Did you see that? I can't be the only one who noticed!" I turned to Eva, my excitement bubbling over.
"What did you see?" she inquired, clearly puzzled.
I could see the confusion in her eyes, so I explained, "Chloe's finger just moved! Eva, do you realize what this means?" A huge grin spread across my face as I spoke. She took my hands in hers, her eyes lighting up.
"So, she's coming home with us soon?"
"Absolutely," I confirmed with a nod. Eva then looked at me with urgency and anticipation in her gaze. "Are you going to call the doctor, or are we just going to sit here?"
"Alright, Emm, I'm calling the doctor!"I dashed out of the room. I was over the moon that after three long years, my sister was finally coming home to us—well, to me, really. But then a wave of anxiety hit me as I thought about how to break the news to her about Mom and Dad. It's been three years since I last saw them, and honestly, I can't even picture their faces anymore. I don't have any photos to jog my memory, which makes it even harder. Maybe I could lean on Chloe for support, but I really don't want to burden her; she's been through enough already. I need to track down our parents, but where do I even begin without any pictures? Perhaps I should reach out to Alex for some assistance.
Just a few minutes later, the doctor walked into Chloe's room, accompanied by two nurses. He gently opened her eyes and shone a light into them, and I noticed her pupils reacted, even though her body remained rigid. The doctor then explained that she was in a state of hidden consciousness, but he reassured me that she would start responding soon. The fact that her finger moved was a positive sign, and I felt a flicker of hope amidst the uncertainty.
I felt this overwhelming urge to cry because, for just a brief moment, I genuinely believed she was going to be okay. There were fleeting seconds when I thought she might be coming home with me soon, and I held onto the hope that my sister would walk out of that hospital bed. But now, all I can do is wait, and the loneliness hits hard since I don't have any family around.
I can't even recall if I have any aunts or uncles to turn to for support. It left me feeling completely lost. I dropped to my knees and prayed, realizing that was all I could do in this situation without anyone to lean on. I thought about calling Alex for help in tracking down my parents because I knew he had connections, but then I remembered I didn't even have any pictures of them or a clear memory of what they looked like. Taking a deep breath, I tried to muster a smile, but it felt forced.
"Come on Zoe, let's go home," Eva urged me. I would have loved to, but I felt completely paralyzed in that doorway.
I heard a sharp intake of breath, like someone was desperately trying to get words out but was having a tough time finding their voice. At first, I thought it was Eva, but she was right in front of me, so I turned my gaze to Chloe's bed.
There she was, her eyes wide open, looking straight at me, trying to speak but unable to form the words. Suddenly, tears streamed down my face, and I had no idea where they came from; they just kept coming. "Chloe?" I was frozen in place, my hands instinctively covering my mouth in disbelief. It felt surreal, like I was seeing a ghost... a miracle, really; it was proof that my prayers had been heard.
I leaned in closer, needing to confirm that this was real, and it was. She looked so pale, her lips cracked and dry, and I could feel the weight of her suffering. In that moment, I would have gladly taken on her pain if it meant easing her burden; it was clear she was in distress. I shook my head in frustration and gently removed the oxygen mask from her face, but she still struggled to find her voice. I settled down beside her and managed to say, "I missed you," the only words that felt right at that moment.
