It had been a week since I woke up from my coma.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAw1YA9EBoEA
And as I stood in line at a flower shop, I couldn't help but to reminisce about the last week.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAzP7kqcODx8
I had spent the whole week begging the doctors and nurses to tell me where Alice lived.
691Please respect copyright.PENANALWguvv7foI
And after I received her address, I began a new cycle of begging;
691Please respect copyright.PENANAzgjDWWhwmm
This time for the chance to be discharged early.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAjT4zCUqfWa
After spending days pathetically asking, they finally allowed me to leave a few days earlier.
691Please respect copyright.PENANATYOUs3oVhG
I couldn't describe how great it felt,
691Please respect copyright.PENANADE50fCeC5M
Leaving the one place where I was told I would die.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAVBGe0SF5m5
I gave the cashier enough money and walked out with the flowers.
691Please respect copyright.PENANA24uezNyyBs
A small smile fell on my lips when I saw my mother waiting for me in the car, smiling at me.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAHkMRQssLWN
Ever since I had left the hospital, the way she treated me had changed dramatically.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAIQEUduqy5c
But my brother and father were another story.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAjlC7gSTmQa
"Ready?" she asked me.
691Please respect copyright.PENANA1qFQk14TQX
I nodded as I put on my seatbelt and took a handwritten card that I had spent many hours writing.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAbtDILDShPb
I didn't know what to say;
691Please respect copyright.PENANACYgxCxJ5Oh
I was just so grateful that it felt like there were no words which could do justice in describing how I felt.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAE2QBGyzmlH
No too long after, we arrived at the house which matched the address I was given.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAdOb6nX0iAG
I took a deep breath before leaving the car,
691Please respect copyright.PENANAyAL49ET5td
Feeling my heart pounding as I got closer,
691Please respect copyright.PENANARECTVUOXjz
Hoping that she would be there.
691Please respect copyright.PENANA9GpRO649ph
I rang the doorbell and waited.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAlJSRaR7whi
A middle aged looking woman opened the door with a large smile; a smile which reminded me of Alice.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAmvk8QFuguH
"May I help you?" she asked, looking at the flowers and card in my hands.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAocf9eEMuP4
"Is Alice home?" I asked her nervously.
691Please respect copyright.PENANA1BjZtvL3Ji
"Yes, may I know your name?"
691Please respect copyright.PENANAy8tt0HSYGs
"Leo."
691Please respect copyright.PENANADswc1ftiXN
I was looking down at the ground when I smelled a familiar perfume, causing me to look up.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAeZjqFyRfYh
"Do I know you?" she asked puzzled.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAwLtusWGm66
I felt my heart get heavy with disappointment.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAe3pw9cBfmO
"It's me, Leo."
691Please respect copyright.PENANAxncMQtpSHu
How could she not recognise me?
691Please respect copyright.PENANAL2UVoFVGjk
"I only know one Leo and he doesn't look like you."
691Please respect copyright.PENANAuhObdHGjqG
I saw tears begin to pool around her eyes before she looked down and wiped them away.
691Please respect copyright.PENANAvuPswkXrxV
"But Alice, it's me."
691Please respect copyright.PENANA6FJuXDNFTa
"Please just stop. Leo's gone. The doctors told me there was a very small chance that he was going to survive."
