Remembering The Pain - And Learning To Heal
Do you love me?
I woke up lying down. I was in a white room; or what I thought was a room. I couldn't really make out any walls, but I know I was on a floor.
"Come on can't you save him?!" I faintly heard in the background. Standing up, I look around for the source of the voice. I could swear I heard Andy...
"Ash..." I whip my head around to find the person who said my name. It's not Andy could it be...
"Ash. I need to talk to you." A tall winged figure appeared before me.
"Th-Thalia?" This couldn't be real. I must be dreaming. Thalia couldn't be here...
"Yes it's me Ash. I need to ta-"
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME THALIA? HOW COUuld you leave..." I broke down and started to cry.
"Ash. Ash babe listen. We don't have much time. I really need to talk to you." I looked up at her through blurry eyes.
"What is is hun?" I barely whispered.
"Ash, why did you do this to yourself?"
"I don't know Thalia! I was in the shower... I wasn't even thinking. I didn't know it had happened until it was too late..." The realization hit me. "Am I dead?!"
"Well of course not Ash don't be silly! I couldn't let you die when you have someone back home who still loves you."
"What? Who loves me?" Thalia cursed herself.
"I wasn't supposed to say that..."
"Who is it Thalia?" I said standing up so we were at eye level. I raised my hand to it tangled in her long hair.
"It's Andy you idiot! Can't you tell? He's loved you for years!" She yelled at me, breaking into tears. I was shocked. How could Andy love me? Well... He really tried to take care of me...
"Wait." I said pulling her face up to look at me. "How do you know?" She looked away from me and drifted upward.
"I have to go now Ash."
"No! Thalia don't leave me again! How do you know he loves me? Thalia come back!"
"Bye Ash. Treat Andy right..." And she was gone.
Sobbing...
"Andy? Is that you?" I grumble.
"Ash!" Andy's body shot up and he wrapped his arms around my neck to hug me. The second he made contact I felt a sharp pain shoot through my neck and face.
"Aah!" I winced.
"Oh Ash I'm so sorry!" Andy hurriedly apologized and jumped off me. "Oh Ash I'm SO glad your ok! You've been asleep for 4 days! The doctors said it was a 50/50 chance you'd live and... I'm just so glad you back!"
"Four days?" I mumbled.
"Oh yeah. I've been so worried!" I looked into his big blue eyes and got buttlerflies in my stomach. Could what Thalia said be true? Or was that just a dream... I need to know. I need to know what I'm feeling...
"Andy... Do you love me?"
"Come on can't you save him?!" I faintly heard in the background. Standing up, I look around for the source of the voice. I could swear I heard Andy...
