My eyes fluttered open. Jeez, how long had I been out? Wait. No. Maybe I was dead. Maybe I was in heaven, with Jasmine.
I was staring at a white ceiling. I wanted to move, but I couldn't. I grunted, and I finally, with a large amount of difficulty and pain, I sat up. I was in a hospital room, and I was alone. Completely and utterly alone.
My breathing was ragged, like I had just woken up from a bad dream. I looked on the little end table by my bed, and there was a pile of flowers and cards. I squinted as I slowly and painfully reached over to the table, and I grabbed a simple white card. I flipped it open.
Leslie,
Please wake up. I won't be able to live without you. I've been praying–which is odd for me–for you, so you better wake up. Please come out of your coma. I've visit you every day, and every day I bring you a new flower.
Now I sound like a sap. I know. You wouldn't expect this kind of thing from your best friend, eh?
Now get better, and wake up.
Love,
Nyssa
Tears starting pouring down my cheeks. Coma? Flowers? Were all those flowers for me from her?
"She's not awake yet," a female voice said.
"Oh well. Let me see her." a harder female voice said.
The door opened, and I stared at who was there.
There was a nurse in her white uniform, Carlisle, and Nyssa. Nyssa was standing with a single white rose in her hands, tears streaming down her face. Carlisle gasped when he saw me, and Nyssa dropped to her knees. The nurse looked even more dumbfounded then everyone else.
Carlisle rushed over to me, and placed a hand on my forehead. "How long have you been up? Have you eaten? Do you feel dizzy?" he shot questions at me like there was no end.
"Uh, I just woke up, no I haven't eaten, and surprisingly, no." I said, my voice hoarse.
"It's a miracle." Nyssa whispered, but then she rushed over to my bed side. She looked at Carlisle. "Is it alright if I . . ." her voice trailed off.
Carlisle smiled. "Go right ahead."
Nyssa hugged me in the biggest bear hug I have ever experienced in my life. I hugged her back, laughing as she sobbed hysterically. Carlisle smiled at me, and I winked at him back, to let him know I was completely okay.
The day went on like that. Hugs all around, and of coarse, the nurses yelling at me to stop standing up and to rest. Finally, it was the end of visiting hours, and Carlisle was yet again checking on me.
"I'm still perplexed with how well your doing, Leslie." Carlisle told me that evening.
"I know. So am I." I told him truthfully.
"And we're here!" a booming voice called as the door flew open.
I gazed in the door way, to see Emmett grinning. I gasped in happiness as he came in, followed by Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Edward, Bella, and Esme. I tried to get out of the bed, but I gasped as there was a sharp pain in my head. Carlisle placed his hand on my forehead again, and pushed me back down in the bed.
"Stay still," he laughed.
Tears started trickling down my face. "You guys actually came."
Emmett snorted, well Esme replied, "Of coarse we would come to see you, sweetheart."
Alice smiled. "Jasper brought you flowers, but it looks like you don't need any."
Jasper seemed to duck away, but then he came out into the open, and he gave me a beautiful white vase, that was engraved with delicate swirls that were over lined with wisps of gold paint. And in the vase, was a single, but by far, the most beautiful pink and purple rose I had ever seen in my life.
"Oh, Jasper," I gasped. "It's beautiful. I'm speechless."
Rosalie laughed. "That's a first," she said jokingly.
Bella seemed to be hiding behind Edward, her cheeks rosy red. I smiled at her. "Hey, no need to hide."
"You mean you aren't mad at me for almost getting you killed?" Bella asked me.
I said, "No way! I'm not mad at all!" at the same time Edward said, "Bella, love, it's not your fault."
Carlisle sat down on the edge of the bed, still checking my vital signs. "Well, judging the fact that your all good, I think you can get free of your trap." he laughed.
I jumped out of the bed, but then, I lost my footing, and I stumbled into Jasper. He caught me with agile hands, and he laughed. I slowly staggered to Esme like a drunk, and I clung onto her.
"I think I need help; I've been stuck in that stupid bed to long." I muttered.
There was an odd stiffness in my legs. It was like my legs had been asleep for tree days! I hung onto her as she laughed.
"You'll be fine," Alice said. "You won't fall."
I knew I could trust her. After all, she was my future seeing sister. I slowly released my grip off of Esme and I walked over to were Alice was. I gave her a large half hug. She giggled, and she hugged me back; we were the same size tallness, so we could hug each other no problem. Then, without trouble, I walked over to Bella, and I wound my arms around her.
She half hugged me back.
"I'm not mad, really." I told her. "It was my fault. I got him angry."
She nodded. "'Kay." she mumbled.
There you have it. She didn't die after all! Yay!
Well, the weather is still being stupid; too hot to even go out and enjoy the sun. I need a tan, but if I go out, I'll burn to a crisp. (I'm as pale as a freaking vampire. :P Really.)
