dark path

coming back to life

Saint was feeling fear inside. Everything seemed abnormal. Maybe it was him who was mentaly sick. His therapist believed none of those nightmares are real and those are made by his thoughts or events during the day. But for saint they seem so real. Saint was deep in his thoughts. He couldn't sleep, he was sure this time he would see another nightmare. He was so tired and his eyelids were heavy but he was forcing his eyes to stay open. He decided to wash his face, went to the bathroom. He could hear sobbing, pulled the curtain away and saw zee was holding his knees in the bathtub and crying.
"P'zee what happened?why are you crying?"
"Nothing....."
Zee laid down and went under water. Saint pulled zee out of the water. Zee was sad, he could feel it but couldn't understand the reason.
"P'zee....."
"I'm ok saint. Just.......was I hurting you?I mean when I was rough......"
"No p'zee. Look I'm fine. I enjoyed it"
Saint smiled and kissed zee's forehead. Zee closed his eyes, saint sat behind him and started washing zee's hair. After bath zee fell on the bed and slept so fast and saint was still holding his eyes open, looking at zee.
(Next morning)
Sun was shining and zee opened his eyes slowly, saint was next to him but playing with his phone. Zee rubbed his eyes and poked saint's face.
"Oh morning p'zee."
"Morning....you haven't slept?"
"Yes I slept abit"
"Why your eyes are this much red?"
"I don't know......."
Saint leaned and kissed zee.
"I go to make a breakfast" said zee and went to the bathroom. Saint had headache from lack of sleep, threw his phone away and put the pillow on his face.
"I hate you saint"
With hearing that vague voice, he jumped out and opened his eyes. He looked at the clock, just 2 minute had passed.
"I hate you saint, why did you do that?.......I don't want to be alone......saint...."
Saint was still hearing them so he thought it was zee, zee was brushing his teeth when saint opened the bathroom door.
"Zee were you saying something?"
Zee was shocked and blinked fast.
"No I haven't"
Saint closed the door and ran outside. It was hard to breath again. He sat on the grasses and was rubbing his chest. The voices were still in his mind. It was like someone was whispering in his ears.
"Saint, are you ok?"
Saint looked back at zee and hugged zee tightly. Zee had no idea what happened.
"P'zee......please help me"
Zee's eyes widened. Saint looked so weak, broken. When zee held saint's hands they were cold like always. Saint was shaking, it was like he had wound somewhere but didn't know where.
"Saint listen to me! We must go to the hospital ok? You are not ok at all!"
"No........I'm good......I.....go to sleep"
"Do you have pills for this? I will bring them for you"
"I took it but it takes time to work"
Saint stood up and went inside, rubbing his chest, his heart was beating so fast. He went on the bed and fell asleep. Zee covered saint. He seemed sick like before, pale face,cold hands. Zee called saint's therapist to ask about his condition.
"He's living in two words. His nightmares and real world. He can't make them apart. Recently his condition was worse than before. He tries not to sleep and that can affect his mind. He has hallucinations, hearing voices which are vague. I wanted to help him but he denied and thinks nobody can understand him"
"Pills?does he have pills to control it at least?"
"Yes but just for controlling it. I prescribed it"
"Thank you"
Zee searched saint's pocket to find pills but there were no pills. He was disapointed. He couldn't help saint. He was hurt scared of losing saint, laid down and hugged saint. He was freezing.
"Don't leave me saint. I will hate you if you do that"
Saint was hearing same sentence in his head. Suddenly he felt there was no oxygen. He opened his eyes and saw doctors were checking him.
"He's conscious! Finally!" Said nurse
Saint could breath properly. His body was in pain, he looked at his right arm and hand. It was bandaged. He had no idea what happened. Doctor checked saint's eyes.
"He's ok. Saint you did best!"
"What?..........what.....happened?"
"You were in coma for 2 months"
Saint's eyes widend. Couldn't believe it.
