Chapter 40

'Any change today?' A voice spoke.

Beep.

'Not yet.' This voice sounded broken. This voice brought warmth to me. Safety. Love.

Beep.

I needed to let him know I heard him. Reassure him I was still here.

Beep.

I tried to open my eyes again, but they still wouldn't open.

Beep.

I felt something soft touch the back of my hand.

Beep.

My hand! Maybe I can squeeze my hand, so he know I am here.

Beep.

I put all of my strength into it. Just one squeeze. That's all I need, just once and he would know I am here.

Beep.

A gasp.

Beep.

I did it! I squeezed the hand. It wasn't very hard but I did it.

Beep.

'Justine? Sweetie, are you awake? Open your eyes.'

Beep.

I'm trying. But they are so heavy.

Beep.

'Squeeze my hand again sweetheart'

Beep.

I feel so weak, but I give everything I have and squeeze his hand again.

Beep.

'Now open your eyes sweetie, open your eyes for me. Please, please open your eyes!' He was crying. I don't want him to cry.

Beep.

I try again to open my eyes.

Beep.

Nothing is happening.

Beep.

'Please open your eyes for me.' He cries.

Beep.

I desperately try to open my eyes for him. He shouldn't cry. He is my home.

Beep.

I need to open my eyes. It is so hard, but I need to.

Beep.

So bright. It hurts my head.

Beep.

I let out a whimper and shut my eyes again.

Beep.
