Another Soul
I tried to sleep and many hours passed by, I don't have an idea on what time is it but I heard deep breaths on my right. I think someone is sleeping beside me, I tried to move my shoulders and it worked! I hope that this person wakes up. I heard the familiar voice groaned and kept silent for a couple of minutes.
"It's me Lena. Are you asking what's happening right now?" I want to nod, I want to say yes but I couldn't! Thank goodness she understands me even if I don't say a thing.
"It's the 7th day of September 2018. It's your 3rd month after your car accident. Your eyes were opened, I'm staring at your hazel brown eyes. It's so beautiful" My eyes were opened?! BUT WHY CAN'T I SEE A THING?!
"Maybe you're asking why you couldn't see. That's because you're blind right now" Blind? September 2018? Am I in my present life?? I see.. This is the consequence that I got, because of my time leaping shit so I became blind. "But don't worry, you only have this temporary blindness. Your vision can still come back, you just have to stay away from stress." Thank goodness Lena, you really know what am I thinking.
"You stressed out and your vision became poor before you were hit by that mini truck. You're in comma for about three months. Mrs. Ivory, Van and I didn't gave up on you, we know that you're also fighting for whatever is happening in you right now. You just have to be strong okay?"
"And I'm sorry.. For running away"

Days past by, my eyes still can't see a thing but my body is improving, and I can now speak fluently. Mom said that after my accident Lena didn't left me in the hospital alone. She's the one who's whispering in my ears when I was in my time leaping shit or my oh so called dream?
"You have visitors Sum" Mom said hearing the door open. Everything is in an awkward silence, who are these people visiting me? Why aren't my family speaking?
"Sum.." I heard Ellen's voice sobbing. "I'm really really sorry. It was all my fault.." I smiled and motioned my hands saying come to me. As I feel that there is someone beside me, I know it's Ellen because I heard her sobbing.
"You don't have to say sorry okay? You and David are really destined for each other. Even if you make this world upside down, you're David's home. And I forgive you and Dave." She's crying and saying thank you to me. I know it is really hard for me, but I can't change the fact that they are meant to be and I don't want to be their hindrance anymore especially that Lena is here by my side.
"David I know you're here too. I know you can't compose a word, but I forgive you too. You really hurt me a lot and you've been a jerk but I'm still thankful for everything because you made me realize who's the person that I truly love and loves me too." I didn't hear a thing but I felt a hand on my head, yeah that's Dave.
After an hour the couple bid goodbyes, mom and Van also left to buy me food that I want so the only person that I'm with is Lena.
"Uhm.. Lena.." I heard a book being closed and hear footsteps near to me.
"Why Sum, is there something wrong"
"Not really.. I just had a very weird dream"
"What kind of dream?" She asked, I feel her body close a little bit that I could smell her sweet scent. She's listening to me attentively, I can feel it.
I told her everything in my dreams but I left the story about us. Maybe there is a perfect time on telling that. After hearing everything she said that maybe it's all because of my comma and the next thing she did is nothing. We had an awkward silence in the room, I could feel that Lena is thinking of something.

LENA'S POV
2014
The day before our graduation, I'm here in the library crying. I couldn't tell my feelings for Sum, why would I? She's dating David and I have to move away in other town to pursue college.
These books behind me knew everything about my feelings for Sum, how much I admire her and love her with all my heart. I wiped my tears when I heard that there were students entering the library. I pretended that I browse books so no one could notice that I cried. I went to the last bookshelf in the library and saw an unfamiliar book. I get the book and analyze it's cover. It's covered with dusts so I wiped it using my hands. The book entitled Souls that Leaps Through Time, as I opened the book I didn't see anything written on it. I check the pages and my eyes closed because of the light coming thru the book. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? I dropped the book and tried to cover my eyes with my arms but it surprises me seeing my arms were fading as if the book sips myself into it. And in a flash..
I woke up in my bedroom seeing Nancy and Ellen beside me chatting. That's a really weird dream, but how did I end up here in my bedroom? Nah, I'll just ask these two.
"So are you ready for tonight?" Nancy asked me, she looks like she's excited for something. Did I miss something important today?
"Ready for what, I really don't understand?" I told her, well I really don't have an idea from what they are saying. The two look at each other and giggled as if I'm joking with them.
"Did you hit your head or something?" Nancy asked and Ellen hit her arm.
"You're going to confess your feelings for Sum" Ellen said smiling at me.
WHAT THE HELL?
