STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

An Unpleasant Truth

I smiled as I found myself in our garden. Then, I saw a woman in a white long dress, smiling at

me. I stopped in my tracks. A stranger, yet very familiar.

“It’s not your fault” she said.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, totally bewildered.

“My death” she smiled again. “It wasn’t your fault”

“I don’t know you” I said. It sounded rude but it’s half-true. She smiled again. Then, it finally hit

me. We had the same smile and the same eyes!

“M-mom?” I asked. But she was already gone. Instead, a man was now in her place, a faceless

guy.

“Stay alive, Kitten” he said. “Stay alive”

I blinked and he was gone, too. A blurry of images and scenes flashed before my eyes rapidly,

making my head spin. I tried to move, but my arms felt heavy, it’s as if they were locked at my

side.

I gasped then woke up. I saw a white ceiling as I opened my eyes. I frowned. Where am i? then, I

heard a creak. I turned my head to the side. Sooner or later, a woman in white came in.

“Oh, you’re awake” she said, smiling kindly.

“Am I in a hospital?”

“Yes” she answered.

“What am I doing here?”

“You don’t remember anything?” she asked, alarmed.

“I’m. . . confused” I answered truthfully. She smiled again, looking relieved.

“It’s normal. You hit your head pretty hard. The confusion will ease, just give it time”

I turned silent as she set to work.

“How long have I been here?” I finally asked.

“You were brought here yesterday” she said. “I’ll inform the doctor you’re awake”

Later. . .

“. . . . .I’m actually surprised your body endured. . . .”

The words floated in my mind. I still feel so confused. My head hurts everytime I try to think. I

can’t even understand what he’s saying.

“. . . and I believe your boyfriend will be back later” he finished. “He-“

“My head hurts”

~o~

Drip. Drip. Drip.

It was continuous. It doesn’t really bother me. Contrary, I felt comfortable with it. At least it’s

not confusing. I found myself somewhere here and there, I’m not really sure. All I know is that

I’m letting some nonexistent wind take my body or was it waves? I don’t know. I don’t want to

think anymore. I just went to rest and rest and rest.

I stayed oblivious to my surroundings. I’m not sure what’s happening around me OR if

something’s happening. I don’t really care anymore. I felt peaceful right at this moment. That’s

all that matters.
