I'm sorry it took me a while to update, I've been busy with a geography assignment. But I'm done now so to make up for it, I'm putting up 2 chapters! ^^ Just so you know, it wasn't a oneshot, the story will be continued. Please enjoy!

It was so dark and cold, I knew I was alone. My thoughts were gone, I had no memory in this state, but for some reason, I could hear a woman's voice saying, "It's okay to cry Diego". I didn't know what to do. I was stuck in total darkness. I never thought, only existed. It felt like forever. But sometimes I heard that voice, speaking to me.

"I really miss you Diego, I miss the smell of your coffee always brewing. I miss your stupid cheesy grin"

"Why won't you wake up? You promised you'd be okay"

"Please Diego, your kitten needs you, you wouldn't want to disappoint your kitten, would you?"

"Diego, it's been so long, I really need you. I can't live without you"

"I'm sorry Diego, I should have come with you, maybe then you wouldn't have been poisoned. It's my entire fault!"

I didn't know who was saying that, but it was painful. I heard this voice every day, and every day, it broke my heart. Without fail, that voice was there, no matter what. I came to realise that I was in a deep sleep, and there was somebody there, someone who cared for me, somebody, waiting for me to wake up. I tried, God I tried. I did everything I could, but I couldn't wake up. Then one day, the voice never came. Why? Why was the voice gone? It had never failed to turn up, never. It made me strong to know somebody was there, but now, the voice had left me alone. Maybe it got tired, or maybe it's sick. Anything was better than the probable reality.

It felt like an eternity since I last heard that sweet voice. But somehow, now was different. How was it different? I didn't know. But it was good, whatever it was. It was great. What was it? Then I realised, I could smell. I could smell coffee. I felt something tug at my mind, something powerful. What happened next shocked me, and everyone there.

I saw shocked faces, staring at me. Somebody shouted, "He woke up! My God, it's a miracle!" I watched as people dressed in white ran in to see me. Then it registered in my mind that I was in a hospital. These people were doctors. I managed to say something, "Coffee". A young intern who was checking on me, passed me their paper cup of cheap coffee, but at that moment, it was the most amazing brew of my life. I downed it quickly, eager to let the black heaven flow through my body once more. I grimaced as I saw the many people staring at me. Then, as they realised my discomfort, they all rushed to go back to what they were doing.

Once I was alone, I had a good look at myself. I tugged at my hair, my white hair. I felt something on my face. It was smooth, and cold, and made of metal. I thought it was some kind of mask. That must have been some damn powerful poison in my coffee, I thought bitterly to myself. A doctor came in at that moment to speak with me.

"Good morning Mr Armando" he said, staring at me like I was some kind of freak. "You have been in a deep coma for five years now" I nearly had a heart attack. Five years! Is that even possible?! What's happened in such a long time?

The doctor began to speak again, "I understand you were a close friend of a woman called Mia Fey". Once again I nearly had a heart attack. Oh my God Mia! My sweet kitten! How could I have kept you waiting for five years?

The doctor looked sad, "She would come and visit you every day, without fail. She always spoke to you, it was heartbreaking to see her cry every day for you to wake up" I felt so guilty, even though it wasn't my fault. My poor little kitten, so scared and alone.

I saw him shift uncomfortably in his seat. It was then I realised something was wrong. This would be about the time that she would come, I was almost certain. "Where is my kitten?" I asked. He looked at me glumly and said, "She was murdered a couple of years ago. I'm terribly sorry Mr Armando". I felt my whole world come crashing down around me in that instant. "Kitten, my poor little kitten. I wasn't there for her. It's my fault you're gone".

At that point, I started to cry; I was alone, and kitten was gone. I felt the tears pour down my face, but I couldn't see them. At the sight of my tears, the doctor jumped up. "My God! You're bleeding!" I stared at him blankly, I couldn't see this blood. I could feel the tears on my hand, yet they were invisible to me. I gave him a curious look, "I can't see it. It must be my tears". He stared at me in disbelief.

In my world, the colour red doesn't exist.

Well, that's chapter 2 up, 3 will be up as well, so please review. It gives me motivation to continue it.
