Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Frank's POV

I nodded in response to the doctor's question as my brain shifted back to space mode while I watched him do his normal routine check-up.

"Any news?" I consulted, my tone emotionless.

"She's fine." He smiled, "The shock has passed, so she's all good. It's left to her to wake up on her own whenever her brain dims it fit."

"How about her memory?" Elvis interviewed, prompting the doctor to sigh.

"I can't say, it's a 50/50 issue. Medically there's nothing wrong with her brain but there's a possibility that it kind of shut down as a result of too much information and flashbacks," He explained.

"But on the bright side, it might just be a way for the brain to absorb the much information it received, resulting in the temporary shut down. So there's a possibility of her still retaining her memory. Like I said it's a 50/50 issue, it's all left to her." He ended as he wrote some things down on the clipboard he held in his hand.

"Alright Doctor, thank you so much," Tenda voiced in a low tone, as we were all bothered by what he had said.

"No problem," He answered and exited the room.

"She will be fine," Fahvour spoke, and pacified Elvis who struggled to pull himself together.

"I think we all need to breathe, why don't we go out and have some fresh air?" Blake suggested as he wiped a stray tear that dropped to his cheek.

"Y'all can go, I'm not leaving her side," I declined.

"Come on bro, you need to stretch those bones," Ifeanyi called, as he glanced at me.

"No I'm good," I retorted, adamant.

"Alright bro, be strong," Harmony said and clamped my shoulder in a friendly manner on his way out after his stare lingered a little on his bestfriend who was laid stoic on the hospital bed.

I was then left there in silence, back to staring at the love of my life as she slept. Even in that state, she still appeared beautiful, while I looked like a mess sitting there with my butt numb.

I laughed hysterically at the irony of the situation before I began whispering things to her in hopes that she could hear me.

"You know I love you right? I love you with everything in me. If I could trade places with you I would in a heartbeat because I know you are strong and can overcome this pain I'm feeling, but I can't."

"The agony of seeing you like this is so unbearable. Even till this instant, you are still the most beautiful girl I have known and will ever know."

"Since that second I stepped into your home and saw you, I knew you were the one. Yes, we were so little then but I had an inkling it was you and no one else. Are you getting what I'm trying to say? I can't live without you."

"Please babe wake up, wake up love, I miss you, we all do. Your parents are in the waiting room outside with your mum crying and your dad aiming to comfort her while shedding silent tears."

"Elvis and the gang all left to get some air, they were here some minutes ago. I'm sure you heard them, plus you also heard what the doctor said, it's all up to you to wake up. You are fine now, yes you are. Nothing is wrong okay? it's your decision to make, please babe wake up."

"I hope your memory stays with you, I can't bear having you back and you not knowing me, it would kill me, please babe, I love you, just wake up."

I cried as I peered at her. If I wasn't staring at her face intensely, I would have missed it, but I didn't. I noticed one of her perfectly arched brows lift a little, before her slightly long lashes twitched, and then I caught a flash of her beautiful brown eyes as she blinked.

Joanna's Pov

Stuck in oblivion, stuck in the darkness, or was it light, I couldn't really tell.

One moment I was sitting in a restaurant area of a hotel with someone familiar, though I couldn't quite put a face to him, we came across as really close.

I was not in a coma, I was sure of that. I also wasn't asleep, instead, I was just weak. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't muster enough energy to do so.

I could hear voices but they sounded faint. Soon, I felt myself giving in to another fit of darkness.

I stirred again after that and this time I was more aware of my surroundings. I tried freeing my eyes once more but I wasn't able to.

I began hearing another set of voices, they all sounded familiar, though one particular voice struck me.

I could tell he was the one I was with at the hotel, his voice calmed me whenever I heard him speak.

After a while, the other voices seized. There was one that was particularly loud and another whispered something like How are you doing bitch? It sounded like something my friend would say Mehn that girl is a whole lot of crazy. I thought.

The place turned quiet some seconds later, though I could discern a presence in the room his presence, even his scent came off as familiar. I was in shock as he commenced speaking, this time it was very vivid.

I heard all he said and I could tell he was someone I loved, someone who wished to trade places with me. I could sense his pain and his sorrow. Something he was saying hit me though, he was begging me to wake up. He also kept pleading with me to remember all that happened, telling me how I was loved, how my friends and parents were there, and how they missed me.

"Wake up babe, please wake up," I heard his voice mutter, and the desperation in it had me feeling the urge to open my eyes. I tried opening them once again rather it felt as if they were sealed shut, but the voice and the curiosity to see him for myself kept me pushing, and then like a miracle, I succeeded and my eyes met with the light.

I shut them immediately afterward due to the harsh brightness, and then mustered enough courage some seconds later to flick them. This time, my vision got accustomed to the brightness, which was so different from the darkness I had been stuck in for some time.

"Oh my GOD, Oh GOD, you are awake, Ana you are awake. Oh GOD, I've missed you," He kept muttering. Soon after I was crushed in a hug, his scent was stronger now, and I could grasp the love in his embrace.

"It's ok, I'm here," I mumbled in an attempt to console him.

"I know now, your voice, GOD I've missed it." He exhaled as he raised his face to my point of view and may I say I was in awe at his beauty, this guy was beautiful in every sense of the word.

"Wow!" I exclaimed, "Do I know you?"
