He stood in front of a hospital room, his hand on the knob, a sense of longing washing over. This is it. This is where she was staying. He thought to himself.

Gathering all his courage, he opened the door to her room. He didn't see her yet, the curtains obstructing his view. So he walked around until he saw her, and as gay as it sounds, he felt his throat constricting at the sight of her. There she was, looking serene and calm as she lay there, peacefully sleeping.

It has been two weeks since he last saw her, and he did notice the difference since he last saw her: her once petite figure became sickly thin, her once rosy complexion became pale, there were bags under her eyes, and she looked painfully fragile in the hospital bed. He came over to her side, holding her cold hand. He couldn't help the fresh wave of tears that formed in his eyes, as he looked at her, smiling sadly.

"Hey there. H-how can you do that? How can you look so fucking pretty even though you... you're s-sleeping? Hell, y-you need to stop doing that. It makes me... makes me f-fall for you all over... all over again." He choked on, his tears flowing freely now as he held her hand tightly.

Only the sound of her heart rate beeping answered him, and he closed his eyes. "Y-you need to wake up real soon, okay? I have so many things to t-t-tell you. Like... l-like how much I love you, and h-how much sorry... I am for doing that to you. I was such a real jerk to you," he continued talking to her. "A-a-and I promise you, as soon as you... as you wake up, w-we'll start again. Plus, aren't you tired of sleeping? You've been out for a week already." He joked lamely as he caressed her cheek, silently hoping that he would finally hear her laugh with her eyes closed.

"Y-you... you really need to wake up soon." he repeated. "I-I... want to see those emerald eyes of you again. I.. I-I longed to see your smile that never fails to take my breath away. I want to hear that musical sound of your laugh every time I cracked a joke, even the corniest one. I... I want to see how your face turns red every time I compliment you. And most importantly, I want to wake up everyday with you beside me. It's easy Elle, you just have to open those eyes right now.

"And as soon as you wake up, I'm never going to let you go. Ever again. You hear that? You know how possessive I can be. I want to spent the rest of my life with you. I know it is too early for me to say that but Elle, I can't picture myself without you by my side anymore. I can't imagine myself with another woman besides you. I don't think I can live without you. The dare... the dare has been the best thing that happened in my life. Wake up please... wake up." He wanted to say more, but the tears kept flowing it makes him harder to breath.

A knock on the door echoed from the other side. A moment later, the nurse came in, looking at him full of sympathy. "I'm sorry sir, but you need to go. Visiting hours are over, and I suggest you go home and rest. You can visit her again tomorrow."

He stood up from where he was seated, placed a loving kiss on Elle's cheek, and looked at her unmoving body longingly. "I'll be back tomorrow, Elle. I love you." he whispered brokenly, kissing her once more.

He then walked out the door, his every steps growing heavier as he walked away from her.

You know the saying that when you are having a near-death experience, your life flashes before your eyes? That's what he was experiencing, even though he wasn't even physically dying. All he can feel is numbness, as his feet took a step forward, and then another.

He was in memory lane, remembering all the times when he was with her. And especially when he first walked up to her, not knowing that such a typical Wednesday could change his life forever.
