Chapter 48

Why is it so dark? No lights. What's going on?

Please wake up. Please don't leave me. Wake up cara

Nick? Why is he telling me to wake up? Am I sleeping? I tried opening my eyes.

Ari! Please wake up! Please!

Tammy?

Their voices were very faint and I almost didn't hear it.

I struggled to open my eyes again and I could see blurry brown eyes. It's too bright!

"Ariane..you're awake baby." I heard him say as I opened my eyes wider. I looked at my surroundings and it was all white.

"W-where am I?" I whispered. My throat was parched. I was so thirsty. What's going on? I asked trying to sit up. He stopped me and made me lie down again.

"Shh.. stay still baby. Here.." he told me and gave me a glass of water to drink. I gulped it all in one go.

"Lie down. The doctor said you need to rest." He told me and he was much clearer now. His eyes were red. His hair looked out of place and his shirt was unbuttoned. He looked like he had not slept in ages.
