...
I can hear a voice. Sometimes it calls my name, sometimes it asks me things and sometimes it just sounds like crying.
"Wake up..."
"Come back..."
"Open your eyes..."
"Tori... Please..."
I didn't even know I was sleeping. But I don't even know where I am either. It feels like emptiness, I feel like floating in water. There's no sound, any sound but the voice off and on.
"Wake up, Tori... Please come back"
There it is. Who are you, anyway? What am I to you? Why would you want me back? And where am I? You sound so desperate...
"For fuck's sake, Vega! If you're going to die, then die once and for all! Decide!... If you want to die so badly, then just fucking do it!.. I promise I won't interfere this time but... Do something, anything..."
I know a girl, she's used to call me that... She hates me and don't care about me, meanwhile I've tried my best to make her like me, since it was sure she would never feel for me what I wished most... The voice sounds really angry today. It hasn't said anything more after that. I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to upset you or anyone else...
"I'm sorry... I am so sorry... Please don't die. Please come back... I miss you"
Huh... I thought she was gone. I think the voice owner is a she, and I think I know her but I can not recall. Am I dying, you say? How? And... And what did you mean you wouldn't interfere?...
"Hey... It's been a hard week... Sikowitz put on a new play. Cat got the main role... I didn't even auditioned... She sends her hellos and that she would love if you could see her in the play too... I would love if you could see anything. If you could open your eyes..."
Cat... I remember Cat. She's so sweet and, well, different. I think she'll be great on the play. And you, you must be someone else who was in Sikowitz's class and since the main role was for Cat now I am 100% sure you're a gir but... You could never know with Sikowitz!
"Hey... Coming from school. Andre wanted to come, but his grandma started to hallucinate again or something... The woman is nuts you know? But don't worry, he might be here later. He'll stay with you tonight since I can't. I have this huge pile of undone homework due for tomorrow and it's my last chance to hand it over, according to Lane. He says I am lucky my teachers understood the situation. I say they are all can go far far away."
Oh, Andre! I miss him... I miss her too. You sounded a lot like her...
"Hey girl! It's been a while! I'm sorry I haven't been here as much as I wish but it is just kinda hard to see you like this, y'know?... We've been helping to your parents and Trina at home as much as we can. When Beck's reluctant to come too. He is going back to Canada after the summer. He doesn't feel okay with what happened with Jade... They're done, by the way. But I won't say anything more until you open your eyes girl... We all miss you."
I'm sorry Andre, I forgot everything you said after you mentioned her name...
"Tori! Tori! Toriiiii!"
"Cat! Shut up!"
"Oh, I'm sorry... I thought you said she could hear us, but what if she hear us on a low level?"
"Cat, don't make me take you out of here..."
"Fine, I'll be good... Hey Tori! Guess what? My brother is banned from this hospital, he can never come here. And Jade had to change my last name or the lady on the desk wouldn't let me in..."
"And I won't do it again if you don't behave"
What?
"Kay... Can I have a juice?"
"No"
"...please"
"Fine, I'll go get it from the vending machine. Do NOT molest her, okay?"
"Kaaay"
Ja... Jade?... What?
"Ok, she's gone... You know, Tori?... I... I don't know why you did what you did, but I think you were hurting really bad to do that to yourself but... Why?... You hurt us so bad too, doing it... We could have helped, we are your friends! Please, come back. We forgive you, but come back... We miss you, all of us and Jade more than no one. When she's not on the waiting room, she's getting food for your parents and Trina... Imagine Jade and Trina! We help cleaning the house or cooking sometimes... Oh! Robbie says hi! Jade said he couldn't come because she doesn't like him hehe... She's been by your side as much possible since..."
"There was no juice Cat, have a cookie"
"Okay!"
"What were you telling her?"
"Nothing!... I am leaving to rehearsal. Have fun! Oh, and if she wakes up call me! Take care Jade!.. See you soon, Tori!"
"See you, Cat... Okay then, we were reading Stephen King right? I swear this next chapter is going to blow your mind Tori. It is awesome."
Jade... It's been Jade all the time. The voice, her voice... I hurt them? What did I do?... Okay then, time to wake up...
Wake up, Tori... Wake up...
"I miss you..."
Open your eyes, Victoria Vega! Now! Move!
"It's been months... They... The doctors... They think you'll never wake up..."
God damn! Open your eyes, come on! Now!
"Please wake up, I am begging you Tori..."
No, please don't cry... Jeez! Where the hell am I? Why can't I move? What did I do that put me here!?
"I swear... I swear I won't make any questions if you don't want me to, but... Come back... I miss you..."
I'm so sorry Jade... I can't remember much... I am so sorry I hurt you, I would never do that on purpose please... Don't cry... I'm trying...
"... I love you... Please... I love you... "
What did you say?... Do you...
"Don't leave me... I need you..."
Forgive me, Jade, for whatever I did that is hurting you so bad... I love you too. I've always have...
