Chapter 33
Micah POV
I woke up feeling groggy and disoriented but then again I just woke up after a surgery. I wonder what they did and if I am okay, since I am alive and they didn't mistakenly do something to kill me, I will assume that I am okay for now. I think that I can relax, I want to rest some more....

Hearing voices woke me up and brought my attention to the fact that there are voices inside the room with me. Well technically that means that people are with me but I wouldn't know if they were quiet. I let out a groan before I mumbled
“Can you please reduce the noise, it is too loud.”
Of course the voices clearly belonging to humans increased as they rushed towards me and started asking about me.... Why can't they just do as they are told? So tired, need rest....

“Are you sure that this is normal, he has been asleep for over three days.” Alyssa said so worried that it bled into her voice, I don't need to look at her face to know that she is wringing her hands together and I am kind of happy that she is feeling all these emotions for me. I know that I shouldn't be happy that she is worried about me but I am, it is nice that for once I am not the one who is worrying about her.
“He is fine. Miss Winton, he is just tired, he will wake up feeling refreshed. “Doctor Stephens answered her.
When Alyssa released a shaky breathe I knew then that it was not just worried, she is also strained and tired, she must have been with me for the three days that they said I was in coma for. “Okay, thanks doctor. I needed the reassurance. “She said as she stood up and walked the doctor out while shaking his hands and exchanging other pleasantries that did not interest me so I didn't pay attention to it.
When she came back, she didn't return to her seat, she came directly to me and used her finger to trace my eyebrow. “Open your eyes soon, just for me. I need to know that you are okay, I cannot handle being in this world without you Micah, just please open your eyes soon, even if it is just for my sanity. “She said as she brushed my cheeks with a lingering kiss.
I tried as much as possible to control my reaction to her actions and words but still my lips curved into a smile. “I thought that my health was in question not yours.”
She quickly rose her head and looked into my eyes which were still close as if she didn't believe that the words came from me even if it was said in my voice.
“That right. It is just an illusion. My sanity is really going and it is just a dream. “She said as if she is trying to convince herself.
As much as I would love her to continue with whatever she is saying I just grinned widely then opened my eyes. “As if you could dream something quite as amazing as me.”
“Micah " she asked in disbelief as if she doesn't believe that I am really talking with her. As if she still doesn't believe that I am awake.
“I already told you that you can't dream this perfection so just believe already.” I said with a whine, when she started touching me and tears falls from her eyes I started getting worried, what happened to her while I was in coma.
“Al, you are freaking me out.” I said as I struggled to sit up.
“I am freaking you out. You. Left. Me. pushed me away. And when you needed me too. Why on earth would you do that? “She started angrily but moved on to shouting.
Okay. She didn't see it as me protecting her. She apparently wasn't through with telling me her views, as she started pacing round. I have a feeling that is I wasn't lying down and kind of weak, she would punch me for making her worry and trying to prevent her from knowing about my illness.
“How did you think I felt when I heard about your surgery on the day it was scheduled and certainly not from you? What if, I didn't get to see you before your surgery, what if I didn't get you ever see you again? How do you think that made me feel? “She ranted before breaking down and crying more.
Okay, now I officially feel bad but she needs to see things from my point of view “I was trying to protect you. You needed to be away from me. I was trying to make sure you will not feel too much if I didn't make it. "
“You were trying to distance yourself from me because you think that you won't make it. “Her voice turned shrilled. “All your distance did was to make me realize that I love you. What would have happened if you had not made it? I would be without my best friend and the person I really loved. Is that what you want for me? “She asked me angrily.
I didn't answer her. My head was still struck on the fact that she said that she realized she loved me. “You love me.”
“I have said that countless times already, of course I love you.” Alyssa replied throwing her hands in the air as if she doesn't know what to do with me.
“I love you too.” I replied her when I remembered our conversation before I went into surgery.
Her face went soft as she smiled at me “I knew it. So does that mean that there is a future for us? “She asked a little bit vulnerable.
Of course she will feel like that. I was the one who told her that her analysis of the letter was wrong. “There is a future for us. After all the love letter is for you. "
She broke into a grin. “I knew it that means that you fell for me first.”
“So.” I asked confused about why she brought it up.
“It means you were tacky first" she said with a giggle.
I smiled at her childish act, sometimes it feels like she is still seven and don't want to grow up. Those times are rare but still amazing. “We are tacky together.” I said to her and she nodded at me.
“Yes. We are. “She affirmed.
