Destiny's Kiss

I was submerged in darkness. I had no senses, but I could hear things. I could barely hear voices; it sounded like they were a mile away, hidden somewhere in the darkness. Or maybe they were just memories. Maybe they were just things that I was replaying in my mind. Do I even have a mind anymore?

“A savior will be there, when you are feeling alone…”

I could hear the sweet melody so far away. But oh joy, could I hear it.

I tried to move my arms, or wiggle my toes. Do I even have a body anymore?
I felt like I had been in the darkness only minutes, but at the same time, it felt like it had been years.

The sounds and voices started getting closer. I heard someone quietly crying. It made me feel so scared to hear the sobbing. Where am I? I need to get out of here? Am I dead? Someone please help me…

I felt something gently squeeze my hand. They were saying something, I couldn’t hear what. It sounded like muffled whispers off in the distance. Their sweet voice soothed me; it made me feel so safe.

I felt again the tightening on my hand again. I tried to move my hand to show them, whoever they were, that I felt their persistent squeezing. I heard muffled yelling, and sounds of someone shuffling in the distance. I tried to get closer to the sound--if it was possible for me to be running, I would be right now.

The sounds were getting closer now; I was trying so hard to find them. I could finally hear the sounds right by me. It sounded like they were right next to me! I felt so excited to be so near them.They were like my beckoning hope.

And then…a bright light appeared—it blinded me. A second later everything was swallowed up by the brightness.
________________________________
The brightness was still there, but it was slowly fading. I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to make them focus. I could see blurry shapes, but nothing clear. I blinked a few more times, trying desperately to focus. It was so scaring not being able to see. Why can’t I see!!!

I blinked one last time and I could see everything clearly. The problem is, I had no idea where I was. My senses were slowing returning, and I could feel that my body was ice cold. Then again, I wasn’t wearing a jacket and it was 40 degrees out.

I was defiantly cold and shivering profusely. I sat up from the cold surface I was laying on, trying to figure out where I was. It was dark, but I could make out the back of two seats in front of me. I peered down—I was in the back seat of a car. The seats are leather; that’s why I was cold. Whose fucking car am I in, though? And what fucking happened to me to make me pass out?

I felt a throbbing pain in the back of my head. I reached my hand back to feel it; there was a huge knot. Did I fall and hit my head on something? Every part of my body ached and throbbed. It felt like I was being punched extremely hard in both my kidneys, my heart was racing, and I felt nauseous. I had no energy left; I could barely move.

I got up the energy to lean forward a bit to see whose car I was in. I saw a familiar face turn around to look at me.

“Hey Ashley, she’s awake.” His deep voice was the one I could hear through the darkness.
“Hey. How are you feeling?” Ashley’s voice was quiet.
“I feel like my internal organs are slowly shutting down. What the fuck happened to me?”

I gazed out the small window and could tell we were driving on the road that came from the bridge. Did I jump off? Did I even make it to the bridge? Holy shit, where’s my car!?!?

“Well…you got super drunk and decided to drive here to try and kill yourself. Your car sped past me right as I was pulling up the end of my driveway. I turned out and sped off after you. When we got into town you tried to ditch me, and I’m pretty sure you thought you had. Andy…Andy said he knew where you were going. He gave me directions to the old bridge you were on. We found your car parked up the ways a little bit, and when we got closer, we found you trying to climb up to the top of the bridge. You were half the way up when your foot slipped and you fell backwards, landing on your back and slamming your head into the concrete. You hit your head so hard you passed out. Andy ran onto the bridge, picked you up and brought you to the car.”

“Holy shit.” Those words were all I could say. They had saved me…Andy had saved me. If they wouldn’t have found me who knows what would’ve happened to me. I almost killed myself--I could be gone right now. Memories started rushing back, and I realized I had taken a whole handful of Tylenol. “Hey guys. We need to get to the hospital… I took a whole handful of Tylenol before I left my house…”

My vision started to blur again; black splotches invading. I felt woozy; like the world was becoming foggy. Everything was slowly fading away. I could see Andy looking back and talking to me, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying. The blurriness got worse and worse, until everything faded into black.
