It had been a week since I woke up from my coma.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ucMahtVD
And as I stood in line at a flower shop, I couldn't help but to reminisce about the last week.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAiGgstpRuSX
I had spent the whole week begging the doctors and nurses to tell me where Alice lived.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAKqP2Um7QtI
And after I received her address, I began a new cycle of begging;
695Please respect copyright.PENANA8K2j3LECVk
This time for the chance to be discharged early.
695Please respect copyright.PENANASOGQeQRRgR
After spending days pathetically asking, they finally allowed me to leave a few days earlier.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAjRPQ1lu6i1
I couldn't describe how great it felt,
695Please respect copyright.PENANAOPBitK87xX
Leaving the one place where I was told I would die.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA1G4r84utbE
I gave the cashier enough money and walked out with the flowers.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAFceEcvgFkN
A small smile fell on my lips when I saw my mother waiting for me in the car, smiling at me.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAw2CMzmORpN
Ever since I had left the hospital, the way she treated me had changed dramatically.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAJ02sbzsmLO
But my brother and father were another story.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAAdhRYmAgUh
"Ready?" she asked me.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAGtTDcqjyKP
I nodded as I put on my seatbelt and took a handwritten card that I had spent many hours writing.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAmOeCOZVNVu
I didn't know what to say;
695Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHasRZQxR
I was just so grateful that it felt like there were no words which could do justice in describing how I felt.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAZywYINz4wj
No too long after, we arrived at the house which matched the address I was given.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3wIecIUaeg
I took a deep breath before leaving the car,
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3mMpzpfVJe
Feeling my heart pounding as I got closer,
695Please respect copyright.PENANAyOeyrn7ENw
Hoping that she would be there.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAsHBM7Ejisj
I rang the doorbell and waited.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3G1L8RKcJw
A middle aged looking woman opened the door with a large smile; a smile which reminded me of Alice.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAW93tFkqNc3
"May I help you?" she asked, looking at the flowers and card in my hands.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAi8gcP7jvIZ
"Is Alice home?" I asked her nervously.
695Please respect copyright.PENANANwAfPr9X3V
"Yes, may I know your name?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAeKsSxSJ7do
"Leo."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXzdTHdIdXN
I was looking down at the ground when I smelled a familiar perfume, causing me to look up.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA502hng9u5w
"Do I know you?" she asked puzzled.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAa97kqT7j2D
I felt my heart get heavy with disappointment.
695Please respect copyright.PENANATwMetOaGM3
"It's me, Leo."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXsr8cAqzBc
How could she not recognise me?
695Please respect copyright.PENANAPBuauWMrlQ
"I only know one Leo and he doesn't look like you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ17fJpxzf
I saw tears begin to pool around her eyes before she looked down and wiped them away.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAgBMN6dAYaT
"But Alice, it's me."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAa8qa2U55Ff
"Please just stop. Leo's gone. The doctors told me there was a very small chance that he was going to survive."
