Chapter 3
He is a really nice guy, that Butch. I'm just sitting and drawing some pictures, on some paper, I got from the nurse. Not really thinking I just ended up drawing flowers. I was a bit surprised at how it turned out. I had no idea, but I seemed to be very good at it. Maybe I had been an artist before I lost my memory?
I glanced up at the clock and noticed, that it was almost that time of day, when Butch came around. A little while passed and the door opened, and in came a big black thing. It turned around and it was just Butch with his guitar case.
He put out the chair next to my bed, with the back of the chair facing me and sat down leaning on it. "So I have a few songs here, that I could sing for you. Just choose whichever one you'd like." He handed me the notebook and I began scrolling through it. Every two pages had a whole song on it. Title, artist and lyrics. After a little bit of looking and deciding, which out of three songs I liked the most, I ended up with the one close to start.
"This one? You sure? This is a duet though." Was it really a coincidence that I chose that one? I didn't seem to mind though "We'll just sing together. Is that a problem?" I asked still as cheerful as before. He stared at me a bit before saying "Nonono, it's no problem at all. I just didn't expect you to want to sing too"
He took out his guitar, tuned it and began reading his notes on the song. It didn't take very long, which was bit odd, but I didn't pay it any mind. And then, we just began singing. Not sure how long, but I'm sure it was loud enough to wake the dead. It was so energetic, so fun. It felt like my heart was gonna beat out of my chest.
Out of nowhere my chest began hurting, and I coughed up blood. The last thing I saw before I passed out was Butch. And then I was swallowed by the darkness.
When I awake, I am in a field of flowers. It was so wast, and might even have gone on for miles. Looking around it seemed to be all around me. I was sitting on a blanket under a big tree. Next to me was… something. Some silhouette of a person. But for some reason I wasn't afraid. I actually felt happy.
The figure then spoke to me "So, what do you think? It's beautiful isn't it" I didn't even think, but I just answered "It's wonderful!" It was like I was in someone else's body. I wasn't in control, yet it was speaking and moving. "I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes and no peaking before I say you can."
I close my eyes and the sound of the wind hitting the flowers disappeared, and was swapped out for panicked voices, flashing lights and a high pitched noise. I was back in the hospital. 'Was it all a dream?'
One of the nurses come over to me and shout to a man "She's awake! Her heartbeat is stable!" I was so confused. Nothing made sense. What was going on? As my eyes adjusted I could see that it was Laura and a doctor I hadn't seen before.
"Laura… What happened? Where is Butch?" I asked. Laura sat down next to me, placed a hand on my shoulder and said with a sad expression "We aren't sure. But, what we know is that Butch ran out from here yelling that you had passed out and something about blood. When we came in here you were out like a light. But everything is alright now. You can rest easy"
