"Lily honey move for me again."
Her heart started beating faster.
"Keep talking to her she is coming back." Said one of the doctors
"Lily baby listen to me wake up for me."
~~~~~Lily POV~~~~~
I was floating in darkness.
I kept on hearing my name.
I kept on ignoring it.
I was scared of waking up.
I was terrified of the world.
I couldn't wake up yet.
I needed peace.
But I kept on hearing my name, for once I paid attention to it.
"Lily please baby wake up."
Huh? Is that Adrain?
What is he doing talking to me?
"Lily please wake up I need you."
He needs me?
He kept on talking to me and I felt my self floating toward the light.
Half of me wanted to go the other half didn't.
"Lily" I hear his voice.
It was so desperate.
I went to the light.
"Lily honey please move again for me" Adrian whispered.
I then let myself go and I floated toward the light and the next thing I knew was there was bright light all around me. I couldn't open my eyes, not like this.
I couldn't tell them so I moved my finger and point it at the light.
It seems they got the message and turned it off.
I felt a hug.
It was from Adrian.
Why was he here?
I opened my eyes to make sure it was him. And it was.
I pointed at the doctor's post-it and pen.
The doctor looked at me with a strange look and gave them to me.
Because of that look, I wrote down "I'm mute" to the doctor and gave it to him.
After he read it, he was shocked and apologize. I just gave him a small smile indicating it ok.
I then look at Adrian. He was a mess.
His black hair was all over the place.
He had dark rings under his eyes.
Which made me think was he not getting any sleep because of me?
"Go away Adrian gets some sleep."
I wrote and gave the post-it to him. His face fell a bit.
"No." He said strictly
Oh, um now I feel bad.
"I'm sorry." I wrote down
"No I'm sorry I just don't want to leave you alone," he whispered and hugged me again.
Oh.
I pointed at my stomach.
"Oh, are you hungry."
He looked at me.
"Babe can you try to talk to me try to use your voice, "I begged her.
She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Sorry, Adrian but I can't I haven't spoken in 10 years." she wrote down on a post-it.
Oh.
"Lily you have to speak again tell me why you stopped."
She gave me a look and shook her head.
"Sorry, it's personal."
"Lily you can trust me."
I didn't get any reaction I guess I have to prove myself.
~~~Lily POV~~~
It been a week since I woke up.
Adrian never left my room.
His mom took care of me which was a suprised since I didn't know her and she didn't know about me.
It seems after I passed out my "dad" tried to kill me.The doctors told me all of the injuries I have.I even had a bullet wound which shocked me.
I didn't want to "talk" to anyone so I wrote a note to the doctor to not let in people in.
Even though no one knows I'm here.
My "father" was the only family I had.
And now I'm all alone.
I've gotten really depressed.
I'm all alone now even if i was treated badly at least I had someone.
Now it is just me against the world.
I wasn't able to eat I didn't want to do anything.
I don't even know why I'm here.
Why didn't Adrian just leave me there he doesn't know me.
