Kay, heres another. Not quite as good as the last one; that remains my favorite. But here:
I woke up and saw a light above me. It was very bright and extremley annoying. I closed my eyes again, and I heard someone crying beside me.
"Michaela!" a voice cried. I winced; I wasn't used to sound. I heard footsteps enter what must be my hospital room.
"The Granbull is awake?" A different voice said in a professional tone. Ashley must have nodded because I heard the footsteps leave again.
Ashley. My friend. I opened my eyes a little and turned my head to see the Roselia, who was crying joyfully. I must have been out a while. "How long?..." I asked roughly. My throat hurt, and my voice was hoarse.
"You were out for a week. A whole week, Michaela! We thought that you were done; that you would remain a vegetable the rest of your life, hooked up to these machines. Oh, I'm so happy you're awake!" she cried. I think she might have wanted to hug me, but the doctor probably forbade her to. I searched my brain for what had happened. And winced. Oh yeah.
It was… that Rhyperior. That was it. He was attacking Ashley. So I stepped in. He knocked me out pretty quickly, but for some reason he kept beating me up. The last thing, before the pain of course, that I really remember was Ashley's scream. I looked down at my stomach; there was a partially scarred over gash running its length. Pain medication was amazing; I could only feel a slight, uncomfortable buzz.
My head hit the pillow with a thud, and my ears were buzzing for straining and using the energy that I didn't have. Ashley came to my bedside.
"After you jumped in, he knocked you out. He refused to stop beating you up, even when I brought the Doctor, who's a Golduck. He had to defeat that… that monster or he would have killed you! I'm amazed that you lasted so long!" she said, tears still in her eyes. I managed to smile at her somehow; it hurt. I moved my tongue around and found that many of my teeth were missing. Touching the sensitive gum brought tears to my eyes. Ashley saw.
"Oh, you're so hurt! I can't believe it. If I were you, I would have just given in and died. The pain; how can living be worth the pain, Michaela?" This was a good question. I thought about it a moment before coming up with an answer.
The pain was worth it because life was good. I may not have a family, but I had Ashley. I lost my best friend a long time ago; a Snubbul named Cole. Back when I was a Snubbul also. And I think I may have loved him. Scratch that, I loved him, and I knew it.
But apparently he didn't love me back. He found another girl, a (excuse my cussing, I can't find a better word to describe her) bitch named Ashley. Of course she had to steal the name of my best friend. It got really annoying whenever I complained about her.
Ashley the Bitch was one of those girls who lives to draw guys in, but abandons them quickly enough. I thought Cole was smarter than that; apparently not. And even after she had left one of his other friends broken hearted, he still went after her! But I never got to see what would happen. I know I should have stayed for when she broke his heart, but I couldn't stand it. So I left.
But I found a new life. I met Ashley the Roselia and we stuck together, finding we had much in common. And now; well, now I could never leave Ashley. She was alone except for me. My heart had been broken; I would not let hers be to.
But how could I explain that to her?
I wasn't sure, so I just kept quiet. She nodded when I didn't answer and sat back in the stiff chairs the hospital provided. I sighed, which ended in a hacking cough. The doctor came in and checked my heart, all the normal stuff they do, and said I would live. I smiled, despite the pain. I looked up at the light on the ceiling, which I had previously thought to be so annoying. But it symbolized something.
There was a light at the end of the tunnel, always. I lost Cole and had my heart broken, but I found a better life here with my friend Ashley. I was beaten up almost to the point of no return, but I was going to live. Always a light at then end of the tunnel. You just had to live through the tunnel.
