I wish I could've stayed a little longer. I was in a coma for almost 5 months before they finally pulled the plug. Every day I would hear the same words from my father. "It'll be okay, I know I will see you again. Keep fighting," and every day I'd believe it. My brothers would come in and their sobs would fill the room. Aries would read to me, and fall asleep until they kicked her out. I just wanted to get up. I couldn't move my body, but I could smell and hear everything. The darkness that was behind my eyelids made silhouettes of all the people I remembered. Dad, Jaynie, my brothers, Aries, and.. Maciey. She never showed. I would listen for her voice, I would try to sense her cinnamon aroma, but for 5 months she never came to me. I got anxious and thought about her in someone else's arms. I knew we wouldn't last. Aries was right. It would end up badly. I didn't think it was this bad. I remember the last time my dad came in. "Look, Leonie, I love you very much and every day I promised your recovery. Today is your recovery. I'm not letting you suffer anymore, dear. I love you."

Then all I heard was static and the light was there.
