Beep beep beep beep.. 

What is that noise? 

As my eyes flutter open, I am met with blinding white lights. Closing my eyes again I sigh. 

Where am I? 

Slowly adjusting my eyes to the lights I look around. A man lays with his head on my leg, asleep. His hand is gently led on top of mine. Small snores leave his lips as he sleeps and I take a moment to examine his features. 

His messy black hair covers his eyes, his white and grey checked shirt crumpled and stained as if he hadn't changed out of it for a while. He had a short beard that was messy and a small black ring decorating his right nostril. 

Sliding my hand from under his, I softly moved away, trying not to wake up the sleeping man. Lifting my head slightly, I felt the sharp pain and flinched. 

'Ellie?' the man whispered in a raspy voice, lifting his head up 'Elena. You're awake! Oh my god' 

A massive smile made its way to the man's face. As he brushed his hair back with his fingers, I could see tears forming in his bright blue eyes. 

He moved his hand to touch my face, causing me to flinch. 

'I'm -' I started in a groggy voice, cleared my throat before speaking again. 'I'm sorry, who are you?'
