The Waking Hour
"Is he going to be alright?" It was her melodious voice. I opened my eyes to find my rescuer in a pink dress with black heels standing right in front of me. I also realize she was talking to a man dressed in a funny suit, a doctor. "Yeah, he just got a little bruise, that's it. He will be all better in a week or so." He responded so casually, like if the "Lady" and "The Doctor" knew each other for years. I fell back to sleep. Not because I wanted to but because my brain shut me off automatically. I would spend every day of my life staring at my hero but my brain would say "No! It's time to rest." Who cares about my rest! She was all I had.
I spent everyday the same way; I would wake up, eat, see "Ms. Lady", go back to sleep, and do everything all over again. It felt good it felt in a way relaxing and I was in peace. "You are going home today" Ms. Lady said the third day of my staying in the hospital. -Okay, okay, I know it sounded like many days had past but to me they were eternal with her. "Yeah, I know, Doctor came in as told me to sign some papers." I responded with a sad face. " Yeah, Charlie said everything looks good and you should be fully recovered in no time!" She smiled and gave a little hop. "Charlie?" I said wondering how she knew the doctors name. "Well you see, I know Charlie since we were young, you could even say I know him better than anybody else." She smiled again and explained everything with a teaching face. "So is he something related to you?" I wondered fearing the worst. " Yup! He sure is." She giggled. "Is he important to you?" I asked even more desperate to know the killer news. "Yes he sure is!" She sighed a little. "Do you love him?" I gave up and just went straight to telling her. "Of course I do! Who wouldn't love their younger brother!?" She answered with a seriously confused face. She looked funny and I felt relieved. "Yeah... everybody...loves...their...older brother." I said with a relief tone.
