Chapter 10: Finally Woken
I opened my eyes. I sat up quickly and looked around. I was in a white room. The walls and floors were a vibrant white because of the blinding light. I looked to the left of me and saw Leslie lying on the floor next to the bed. I look myself over. Bandages were wrapped around both my arms, blood seeping through them. It took me a bit to realize where I was. I just couldn't figure it out. Why was I in a hospital?
I looked to my right and there sitting in a chair was Sebastian. I then started to think to myself. Was the past year just a dream? Did any of it happen? I then questioned my sanity. Then something happened I wasn't expecting. My left arm, well my fingers on the left hand. I could move them. I haven't been able to move or even feel anything in that arm in years.
I can't help but think now. How am I here? How did I end up here? It didn't accrue to me until I felt the stabbing pain in my stomach. That's when it all came back. Everything that happened in STEM. So this past year was all in my head but the year before we were in STEM. So have I been asleep for that long.
"Xanderia..." I heard the most perfect voice call my name.
I look over to my left side of the bed at the floor. I couldn't help but smile. "Hello" I said with a very hoarse voice.
Leslie sat up, then stood up. "When...when di-did you get up?"
"Just now." I answered the best I could.
"And...your arm?" He asked.
"I can move it." I told him.
"It...It worked! Sebastian! Wake- wake up!" He yelled for Seb to wake up.
Sebastian groaned a bit and stretched. He looked so tired. It's almost as if he just got to sleep this whole time. He looked over at my way and sprung up from the chair. He was at my bedside as fast as I've ever seen him be.
"Oh my god. You're awake. You are finally awake. The doctors said you were gone." He started going on.
I looked at him confused. "What?"
Sebastian look at me, then sat down next to me on the bed. "You have been in a coma for a year."
"Come again?" I said in disbelief
"After STEM, you wouldn't wake up but you were still breathing. I picked you up and grabbed Leslie. We walked out of the hospital alive. Ruvik is no more and I've been taking care of Leslie. He insisted that I fix you so you have been her for about a year. I would take Leslie home when he would fall asleep so he wouldn't have to stay here for a whole year while you were out." Sebastian explain what was going on.
"So what you are saying...is that I was asleep for a year?" I said as my voice got more horse as I spoke.
Seb nodded. "Leslie in all technicality never left your side. He came and sat with you for hours just staring at you, hoping you would get up."
"He...waited for me? For a year?" I started to tear up.
I turned to Leslie and stared at him. He waited for me. I was very happy to see his pulchritudinous face. This whole time I thought we were in trouble and it was all in my head. My perfect prince Leslie. How I love him so much. I never know how much he loves me and cares for me until that very moment. I couldn't help but to cry.
"Xanderia...d-don't...cry...don't cry..." Leslie climbed up on the bed and held me close. Just being in his arms is a blessing. He so warm. It feels like he's been eating. He's not so boney anymore. Speaking of food.
"I'm hungry..." I said in Leslie arms trying not to cry.
"Alright. Let's get something to eat. You have to be careful on how much and how fast you eat miss." Sebastian told me. "Also, before we go. I have to sign a few things to get you out of here."
I nodded. I watched Sebastian walk out of the room. It so nice to know everything was alright. None of it was real. Just what happened last year. Then this. I'm glad to see Leslie here. He looked very handsome, tired a bit but handsome. He most likely still having nightmares. He smiled at me. I've never seen him so happy. His smile melts my heart.
Sebastian came back into the room with a wheelchair. "Alright. Let's get going."
Leslie got up off the bed and carefully lifted me up. He put me in the wheelchair and pushed me. We three were going down the hall. It was brightly lit. I hurt my eyes a bit. We turned left and went through a door. The lobby aria was alright. Lots of people waiting to see whatever doctor. Then finally we were out the door. The fresh air was so lovely. The trees blowing with the wind. Flowers blooming all different colors. Everything was just beautiful.
We walked over to the car. Sebastian helped me into the back seat of the car. Leslie sat next to me. The seats were a leather texture. It pretty much smelled like a new car. Sebastian sat in the driver seat.
"Is this a new car?" I asked.
"Why yes it is." Sebastian answered as he turned the car's engine on.
"Thought so." I said to myself. I leaned against Leslie.
"It's good to have you back Xanderia." Seb said and we pulled out of the parking lot and started to the road.
I smiled. I been through so much with Sebastian and Leslie. Through the moment I met him, Sebastian was always a father figure to me. I look up to him. He really is a hero, despite what he may say. Leslie I've known forever it seems. I love him so much and I'm glad he is mine. I feel like the luckiest girl ever. It's so wonderful to be with my family.
