Just A Hearing Distance Away
I can here voices but cannot reply to them. They are talking to me, pleading for me to show some awareness. It's not that I'm not trying but I simply can't. I hear a male voice - disembodied to me - crying. Then a female voice tries in vain to keep the male calm. I don't recognise them, it scares me that I hear people speaking but cannot tell who they are or don't have the chance to remember.
All of a sudden it's gone quiet. Where are those voices? It's been quiet for quite some time. I feel quite secluded. Now and again I hear footsteps but the plodding soon dwindles. However I hear this constant beep, at first it aggravated me but I've got use to it now.
When it's quiet I attempt to decipher the voices but to no avail. I keep hearing the name "" but then I get confused when the male cries out "baby". Baby? I don't hear any youthful chortling or weeping.
I guess it's time again. The same male voice which comes and goes. He always says sweet things which could bring a tear to anyone's eyes, "Please wake up. I can't help but blame myself for the fact that your stuck like this..." Wait, like this? What does he mean by that? "I miss you. I wish I was in the car and not you..." In the car? I was in a car? "I love you too much to let it end like this..." If only emotions would emerge from my face, he would know that tears are most likely about escalate down my cheeks. Another voice enters. "..." ? ? Who...wait...I've lost my train of thought now. "You really need to go home, this isn't healthy." He's been here all along? Why can't I hear him? Why do I feel isolation at certain times? I hear him sob, "I'm fine. I just wish would wake up. Baby please?" I can't help but feel guilt.
Car? He said something about a car. I was in a car? ", she's been like this for months, it's only a matter of time" She sounds hopeful. Months though? I can remember that voice but can't think who it belongs to. "I can't wait I just want her now. Please wake up. I need you..." It's a shame I can't react to his sweet words. "I hate who ever did this to you." I'm not quite gathering what that means. I can't seem to recall anything.
This is the first time, I felt a watery substance on my hand. My hand convulses. "! H...her hand moved!" I don't know what happened then but I'm still motionless. "! Move your hand if you can hear me? Can you hear me? Please hear me." I could not answer to that call. His voice seemed to deteriorate, lacking hope. ", what did you say?" the female voice rushed back. "Nothing, it's just me. I thought she moved." ? ? ...I know that name - at least I think I do. "You really need to go home, you're exhausted" the female voice sympathises. He's gone quiet though. Is he really gone? "? What's this?" the female voice wonders, if only I knew what she was on about. "I was going to ask to marry me. I don't think I'll be needing it though." His voice really seemed vulnerable.
I feel a little bit dizzy, my eyelids feel heavy. "! She's awaking up!"
