Keia's POV
"And I need you to know that
We're falling so fast,
We're falling like the Stars
Falling in love.
And I'm not scared
To say those words
With you I'm safe,
We're falling like the Stars
Falling in love.."
I felt my eyes open on their own accord. I didn't feel anything, I didn't know anything. I was just alive.
My vision took sometime to adjust but my ears didn't. I heard a beautiful voice singing in my left. It had so much emotion. But it didn't sound like James Arthur himself. It sounded like an entirely new voice all together.
I faintly moved my head to see this singer. I couldn't see clearly at all, but I could discern the source of the tune.
He had an instrumental playing on a Bluetooth speaker on the nightstand and a guitar on his lap that he was pretending to play. His eyes were closed as he was so absorbed into the song.
I finished the last line of his song softly, "...falling in love."
He immediately heard me and stared at me for a moment, in disbelief.
"You're awake. "
"Yeah, I guess I am," I said softly . I felt light headed and peaceful. I didn't really understand what was happening.
He took one of my hands and held them in his much larger ones. It made me think: are guys freakishly large or are women surprisingly small?
He shed a tear as his warm hands brought heat back into my body. I shivered pleasantly and looked at him with a small smile.
"Last I heard from Michael was that Cyrus the Shark doesn't cry," I said. " Which makes sense since you can't cry underwater. "
"Well, I've been beached for sometime now. I hoped I would find a new ocean." he said. If I wasn't so weak, I would have blushed.
He leaned in and we shared a small kiss. I suddenly felt stronger with his lips on mine.
I pulled away first and looked him in the eye even though concentrating on a single figure hurt my eyes.
"Cyrus, I'm so sorry. I really don't know how I could this to you. I'm so selfish. Can you ever forgive me?"
He smiled and said in a whisper, "I forgave you the moment you decided to live."
" Huh? "
"You were dead for four minutes, Keia. Then, somehow, your body started functioning again. You've been in a coma for two months."
" Two months. It feels like two days. "
"You're the only one who feels that way. Even Quinn's worried sick. She told us..about the last time..."
He looked away. I sighed.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just thought it would make you worry."
"Then do me a favour," he said.
" What? "
"Don't delete my angry voicemails so that you can always feel this guilty every time you think about killing yourself."
