Chapter 7 – Waking Up

I hurt, I knew something was wrong but couldn't do anything about it. I heard sounds and then nothing... blackness. Then light erupted and more sounds then blackness again. This went on forever. I swear I could hear Valla's voice, but I couldn't respond. Then blackness. I don't know how long this cycle continued. But through everything, the tones of Valla's voice kept popping up.

Then I was in the parking lot again. I was being beaten, but only one thought was going through my head. My eyes snapped open as I screamed, “VALLA!” my chest erupting in pain from the effort my eyes blinded by overhead lighting. I couldn't move. I hurt everywhere, someone immediately grabbed my right hand. I could feel the warmth spreading from the contact and could feel hot breath on my cheek.

Valla was sobbing into my ear. “Mia, I'm here... Mia. I was so scared baby. I'm here, I've got you.” over and over as I tried to focus. I was lying down on something. A bed? Squinting, I turned my head and focused on Valla, tears were streaking her face as I saw people in white jackets streaming into the room saying stuff like, “She's finally awake!” I was so tired. I smiled at the woman I loved, she looked so haggard. “Valla.” I whispered as I lost my fight to stay awake and nodded off into sleep, the feel of her warm hand anchoring me.

When my eyes fluttered open again I was still in a lot of pain but I could feel someone holding my hand. I turned my head painfully to see Valla in a chair beside me, grasping my hand as she slept. She looked like an angel. I scanned around, I was obviously in a hospital room. Every part of me hurt and I started to panic a bit, causing my heart rate monitor to beep much faster. This caused Valla's eyes to open and she glanced up at me and started to smile.

Before she could react I remembered what had happened. I was so scared! My shoulder shrugged involuntarily up to my cheek and I screamed as the movement of my chest caused searing pain. “I never got to have her.” I blurted as my shoulder shrugged again. I was seeing white from the pain as I heard Valla yelling, “Nurse!” I twitched again and yelled, “I never got her.” in agony. Other voices were now there, saying something I couldn't understand. I was reeling. Thankfully I passed out a couple twitches later whispering, “Never had her.”

I don't know how long I was out again when my eyes opened. It was mostly dark, just a single overhead near the door dimly lit the room. I knew I hurt every time I moved so I took stock of myself. I wiggled my fingers, my left arm ached. I wiggled my toes. So far so good. I tried to sit up, but the pain in my chest prevented it.
