and remembers information
I gaze as she starts to slowly shift and fidget, her chest moving faster as she inhales deeply as if sensing something familiar, and then suddenly her eyes pop open without warning. She blinks a couple of times, frowns, and sits up confused. My eyes patiently stay on her, as her own eyes grow into focus.
You?
I don't say anything just wait. She looks down and touches her stomach and then the ribs, but she doesn't seem to be in any pain. It's my turn to frown. From what I have been told and from what I could plainly see, she had been banged up pretty hard. My eyes gaze up as she touches her lower lip and hisses. Now that was a reaction I was expecting.
What the heck is going on?
Her voice is still a bit hoarse as she asks the question, her stare becoming frenzied and wild, eyes jumping in every direction.
I could ask you the same thing. Where on earth did you go? And what the fuck happened to you? You had me worried sick. Jesus Raven, you could have died.
I feel her anger and desperation, red, sticky fury vibrating from her delicate form. I watch in horrified disbelief as tears start to flow down Mel's face and I can't help but feel embarrassed by this little display of affection and worry. I'm like an unwilling passerby froze to the spot and being unable to move. The girl apologizes with a weak voice and then stares at me.
Were you at my house last night?
I once again ignore her question and just try to think about what I needed to tell her. I gaze at her calmly now. She still looks confused but I know that a part of her already knows the answer to that question. I'm positive she remembers my smell. It was just in the way that she took her first conscious breath after waking up. Her reaction. I watch as she clings to Mel for support and how tight the woman puts her arm around her. My stare turns more serious.
There's a lot I need to tell you.
Then talk.
She states with confidence and assurance that surprises me. Like she's open to whatever I was going to tell her.
Aren't you going to ask what about?
No, you're here for a reason. You know something so just tell me before you leave again...
I watch as Mel pinches her and to my surprise, she manages to roll her eyes. Even after all she has been through. How peculiar.
