It feels like I have been running. There is a burning sensation in my right arm and my head is hurting like never before. I hear some distant voices.
I try to open my eyes and I see white everywhere. My eyes become teary and suddenly I see it all blury and vision clears.
I can hear my friends and Dad talking in hushed voices. As soon as dad sees that I'm awake, he walks over here and asks, "Hey. You're awake. I'll go call the doctor."
I close my eyes and try to regulate my breathing. I hear some footsteps and open my eyes.
I see a person wearing coat - probably the doctor. But why am I here ? I have got a wedding to plan. What am I doing here ?
The doctor asks me a few questions and I try to answer them by nodding or shaking my head. I can't seem to open my mouth.
After the doctor leaves, Dad comes and sits on the bedside table.
"Honey, do you remember what happened ?"
I try to speak but the words get out are a bit jubbled so I shake my head.
I try again and this time a whole comes out. "I remember asking Aaron to accompany me to the flower shop but nothing after that."
Wait. Now that I try to remember it, I think I heard a scream.. Aaron's.. My eyes go wide with recognition while dad speaks,
"You got into an accident"
"Dad, where's Aaron ?"
Now that I pay attention I see bags under his eyes, his eyes are distant and seem to hold a lot of sadness - probably because of my situation. But where's Aaron ?
"Honey.. by the time an ambulance got there you were both knocked out. They got you both in surgery.. They.. they couldn't.. couldn't save him."
Something inside me twists. As if the whole world fell apart. I can't seem to notice my heart beat anymore. But then I realise,
"You're joking ! I know you and Aaron are pranking me. You're taking revenge for the prank I pulled last week, right ?"
He doesn't answer so I ask again, "right ?"
Silence. I've always hated silence. Suddenly a tear slips from his eyes.
"Dad, please say something !" My voice comes out desperate but I am. I am desperate to hear he's okay , that he's just joking, that... he's alive.
"He's gone, honey. I'm so sorry. They couldn't save him." His voice sounds broken.
But I couldn't focus on that. His two words go through mind like a chain. He's gone. He's. Gone.
I hear someone scream 'no!' and I realise it's me. Tears run down my eyes and I start crying
'Kara'
A sob escapes me and I realise that I am crying. I have never cried in my whole life.
'Kara'
I was always strong. No matter what the situation. I was the backbone of this family, my group of friends.
'Kara, wake up'
I had never cried once in my life. But I can get used to the numbness it gives me.
'Honey, please wake up'
Dad's voice brings me down earth. I open my eyes and see a pair of dark brown eyes staring into mine.
It was just another nightmare. He envelopes me into a tight hug and kisses away my tears, by which I realise I have been crying in my sleep. Again.
"It's okay if you don't want to go to work today. I can tell Echo. He will cancel your meetings." Dad proposes.
"It's okay. I'll go. If I start cancelling my meetings because I had a nightmare then we'll have close the company."
"Then I'll go and make you some breakfast. Get ready."
I smile and make my way to the washroom.
