Chapter 7, the distance

As I fall asleep I see him its Dawn, as I walk close to him he starts to fade away from me I try to run to him but he was too far he then disappeared, I stopped running I looked around to see where he had gone but he wasn't there, I then sat down folded my knees to my chest then wraped my arms around them i laied my head to my knees then closed my eyes.i then woke with tears falling from my eyes, i open my eyes I could feel the fresh breeze blowing toward me I looked out to the window to feel the ray of sun flashing down on my face I then looked around the room, "did he visit me?" with that in mind I hear the doctor coming into the room to check on me, "doc, I was wondering did anyone come visit me last night?" I asked the doctor, he then looked at me "I'm not sure I can ask the front desk nurses if you like!" I then nodded, "thank you, so how am I doing today?" I asked him, he then held his check board, "well your blood flow is looking normal can you try moving your toes for me?" he asked as he checked my feet, I then tried to move my toes it only moved a little, he then held my hands and asked if I could move them they were moving normally, "ohk, Ms. Nanase we would have you do some physical activities to work your legs its slowly showing some movement but were going to try start with helping you sit up to just give your legs some movement, ohk" he then made the bed recline up, then he helped me move my legs to the side of the bed, he pulled out a stool just so my legs don't make me fall with there weight hanging from the bed, I hear a knock on the door, "come in!" I yell to let them in, I see Anna and Alan walk in with a basket with a get well balloon on top, "hey guys!" Anna then runs to me with her arms out getting ready to tackle me, "wait… Anna…. Stop!!" with that she slowly came then hugged me, "I'm so happy I didn't dream last night that you were awake, I'm soo happy to see you!" with her crying on my shoulder, I looked to Alan, "wow you grew a little bit your just as tall as Anna and Me, did you drink a lot of milk during the Christmas break?!" I say with a smirk, "haha… Alexia the first thing you say when you see us walk in haha," we laughed, he then put the basket on the table he then hugged me with Anna, "ooh… you guys are really heavy I'm trying to work out my legs," with that I see the doctor just looking at us, "sorry doctor!" they say as they let go of me, " its quite alright I understand but be careful she's still having a hard time moving her legs, well Ms. Nanase ill check the nurses to see if someone did visit you last night ohk," he said as he walked out. Anna and Alan then took out the basket, I could smell food "what's in the basket?" with a curiosity to my voice Anna then smiled, "its your favorite!" she says as she opens the basket, Alan brings the table over, he then carried me to the long couch to enjoy breakfast with them, they then set the table, as the food came out I saw; fish cutlet, steamed white rice, chicken soup, lumpia with clear wrap, some side salad. As they sat down Anna on my left and Alan on my right, I felt sort of weird then asked, "so are you two going out?" with that I hear both of them cough "ach… ach," I then looked at both of them, "what I'm just curious ?" with that Anna and Alan started to stuff my mouth with cutlet and rice to shut me up, I then looked at them there faces blushing, "you know its alright with me I mean you two look great together!" with that they looked at me with a smile, " really!" they say together they then looked at eachother, "wow so I am right huh?" they then looked down then to me, " well uh…"Anna mumbles, I then leans forward to get a drink, Anna then stopped me, "ill get it for you, you need to try not to over work your self," with that she poured me tea, "aaah, that tasted great, thank you," Alan then gathered the empty dishes and top wares he puts them into the basket, as they finished clearing Alan then helped me to my bed, "thank you," "no problem I hope you get better Anna and I will come by after school to check on you!" with that Anna hugged me before she left she then gave me a yellow lily to cheer me up, as they walked out I see the doctor come in, "hello doc, so did any visitors come in?" I asked, he then shocked his head, "from What the nurses said, no one came in after visiting hours, I'm sorry Ms. Nanase," he says, "its ohk I think I was just dreaming," I tell him as he exits the room. I then just looked out to the window then fell to sleep, I then see a bright light filling the darkness I then see someone walking up to me, "its you!" he holds my hand with one hand then he held my face with his other hand with a warm touch he then slowly moves my hair to the palm of his hands I look down, " oh I guess its still white," I say quietly, he then says, " it suits you, even your eyes it brings out who you really are!" with that I looked up at him I notice he looked very familiar, "have we met before?" he then smiles, "it depends did we meet?" he then puts his hand on my chin he then comes close, as he came close i shut my eyes, as i opened them he was gone and i noticed that i had awoken, " oh… what a weird dream!" I get up, I looked to the table beside me i poured a cup of water I then drink, then looked around to see if anyone came, i then felt someone laying next to me, I looked down to see, "oh.. Mom!" I say as i groomed her hair i see my mom resting on the bed I then get a blanket from my extra covers I then covered her, I then move the sheets from my legs to see if I could flex my feet, its slowly moving, I then hear the door knock, "oh come in," I say as I covered my feet, the doctor then walked in with my dad, " oh baby your awake, sorry if we woke you!" he said as he walked toward me, " its ohk dad, I woke up right before you guys came," I say, he them kissed my forehead, "well I'm glad you are awake!" he then turns to the doctor, " so how's her condition so far are we able to bring her home to rest!" the doctor then asked me, "Ms. Nanase where you able to move your toes and feet?" he then moved the blanket from my feet he took his pen then rubbed it up and down my feet, " can you try move your feet for me," I then started to move my feet slowly up and down, he then nodded, " ohk, Ms. Nanase we will see tomorrow morning if we can try make you walk then when you start to slowly walk to the restroom then to your bed, till then ill be able to send you home ohk," with that my father agreed, " thank you doctor," the doctor then walked out of the room. My mom then woke up to see me awake, " hi mommy!" she then held my face , "how you feeling today baby?" she then notices my father in the room, "so what did the doctor say?" she asked my dad, he then shocked his head, "he said till she is able to walk to the bathroom then back to her bed then she will be able to go home, he said she can start practicing getting up for now till she is able to do it on her own," he Says to my mother, she then nodded, " you must be hungry?" I see my mom bring out a basket with home made sandwich she made; ham&cheese, turkey with tomato and white cheese, then tuna with spinach mixed in, "mmmm, they look delicious," I say to my mom as she gets a table for me to eat on, as I sit up my parents sitting on the bed in front of me, we enjoy the home made sandwich my mom made, "thank you mom for the food they were the best!" she then smiled, "I'm happy your appetite hasn't changed!" my dad says as he puts me water to drink, "here," he hands me the cup, " thanks," I drink then I lay back, I see my dad helping my mom get things together, "oh your leaving already?" I asked, they looked to me " we will be here in the morning your brothers home giving your aunt a hard time so we will be heading out, will you be ohk" they asked with worry, " I'm fine I'm a little sleepy too the food made me fool so ill be resting see you tomorrow!" I say as I see them walk out, I wave to them bye. I then let myself relax I then needed to us the restroom so I called for assistance, when they came they helped me to a rolling toilet seat then rolled me to the restroom toilet, they waited for me outside till I called to them, I also wanted to shower I then asked one of the nurses to help me as I wash my self since my hands were able to move and my upper body can move well and function right it was just my legs that needed to move, as they helped me finish putting on a new gown, one nurse changed the bed sheets with new sheets and new warm blankets, the nurse then rolled me out they then helped me on to the bed, I covered myself with the blanket, "thank you!" I say to them, with a smile, "no problem ma 'me have a good night," they say as they turned on the night light then turned off the main light, with a low glow of light shinning from the night light the Curtin of the windows open the moon light shining in the milky stars across the sky giving a beautiful colors of purple and blue, "wow!" I whispered, I then see a sudden glow of light coming from the moon I shielded my eyes from the brightness I then slowly look to see what that light was I then see a familiar figure the light from the moon shinning from behind the window, "it's you!" I say with a surprise on my face. It was so dark that the only thing I could see is the light from the moon and a familiar figure in front of me, "it's you?" I say looking to the person, as I sat up I looked to notice it was a the man from before; his long hair white, his eyes blue, he wears a gold band around his head and a beautiful blue gem around his neck, he wears a white gown, "my dear we finally get to meet face to face and not in your dream!" he says coming close, "my child, how I longed to see you once more!" I hear a woman's voice, I then looked behind the man I see that woman that I met in my dream her hair white eyes blue and skin pail like a peach she wears a gold band around her head and a blue gem like the man I looked to them, "am I dreaming or is this real?" I asked the woman next to the man. I looked to the woman with curiosity, she then came close and held my face then looked to the man, "may dear is she the one?" she asked the man, he nods then comes close to me, "it is a long time I see your hair has changed, and your eyes as well!" He says holding a bit of my hair he then puts his hand to my cheeks, "I felt this warmth before?" I say to myself as they held me, "it feels like home," as a tear comes down my face, the woman then smiled and whipped me tears, "I'm sorry dear we didn't mean to make you cry," she says as she whipped the tears away, I looked at them with questions, they then looked at me, "we will discuss this matter in another time but for now we need to know?" they looked to each other, "know what?" I asked, "the boy that you've been seeing do you know where he could be?" they asked as they held my hands, I then looked to them, "do you mean D…" they covered my mouth, "mmmmm...", "Shhh" they tell me "you mustn't say his name out loud when we are around!" they tell me, I then nodded "no I've been in the hospital for quite a long time in a coma so I don't?" I tell them, they then looked to me with worry, "you must be careful, he is your…" we then hear someone knocking on the door, I looked to the door then back to look to them but they disappeared, "we will meet later," I hear their voices echoing through the wind, I then see someone coming in the room, "hello doc." I say to the doctor as he enters to do a checkup, "how are you feeling today?" he asked, "I'm feeling a lot better after a shower!" he then nods "that's good, you should get some rest we will be doing some walking practices ohk," he says as he puts the checking board away, I then nod in agreement "ohk doctor see you tomorrow," He exits the room, I then cover myself with the warm blankets then look to the window where the moon is still shining I fall to sleep as the light from the moon fills me with warmth as I could still feel their presence.
