It's dark.

I want it to stay that way...

I want to remain numb...

To never face the truth...

To never have lived...

It's cold.

And the pain returns,

fear crawls it's way back into my heart. I don't want to face the light... But wait, maybe I'm dead? I guess it's better this way... Sorry I've been such a dissapointment, mom...

Beep...

I hear it.

Beep...

Sound.

Beep...

But I don't want to open my eyes...

Beep...

Because I know I'll find myself to be alone...

Beep...

As I've always been...

Beep...

Why couldn't I just die?

Beep...

No... that would have been too easy...

I don't deserve the relief of death.

I still need to face the truth...

Open your eyes, Sonia...

Open them.

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep...

The sound is getting faster...

Beeeeeeep....

This is the end...

"CHARGE!!"

 I feel a shock in my chest and my heart attempts to restart.

They yell it again, sending another surge of electricity into my heart.

It works... Why... I don't want to live anymore...

Beep...

Beep...

Beep...

It's regular again... my heartbeat...

"Gaara, calm down!!"

"GRRRRARRRGHH!"

"Gaara!"

"If she dies YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN WITH HER!! You hear me??!"

"Relax, Gaara! She's alive!"

"Then why won't she wake up?!"

"Gaara..."

He starts to cry. "What if she never wakes up..?"

"She will..."

"..."

Gaara... wants me to come back? I don't understand...

Suddenly all my memories return, attacking me. I feel like I'm drowning. I have to get out of my mind... I have to open my eyes...!
