Pain was everywhere.
Audrey kept her eyes closed… she didn’t have the strength to keep them open anymore. It was getting even harder to breathe. All she could see was darkness. She briefly wondered if this was what the afterlife was. Would she really feel all this pain, though?
It didn’t feel like she only got shot near her lungs… she felt pain where she didn’t know she had - her whole body felt like it was falling apart. It was even starting to become hard to think.
‘Audrey!’ the voice pierced her mind. Who was that? Her mind briefly asked, before her thoughts wondered again.
‘Wake up! Audrey, please!’ There it was again. Hello voice. How are you?
‘Audrey? Come on, wake up… you have to wake up.’ Really? I can’t seem to… The pain was slowly leaving, though. Her thoughts began to make sense to her again.
‘You’re going to be fine… you just have to wake up.’ In the darkness, Audrey unexpectedly saw a white light. It’s so bright… are you sure it won’t hurt me?
‘I’m sure… go toward the light… please Audrey.’ The voice begged. Warmth flooded over her while Audrey stepped closer towards the light. Her memories began to wash over her… who was that voice? She knew she knew it… she just couldn’t place who it was.
‘Come on, Aud, wake up.’ With her nickname also came the sudden memory of who the voice was. Parkman… Matt… Matt Parkman… She trusted him with her whole mind. If he wants me to wake up… fine. She’ll wake up. She had too. She could hear the worry in his voice as he encouraged her to wake up.
She stepped towards the bright white light and then she felt her eyes flutter open. She felt a slight pain and could feel herself laying on something very uncomfortable. As she blinked to get used to the sudden light, she felt a squeeze on her hand. She looked towards it and found a large hand holding onto hers. Following the hand to its owner’s arm, neck and finally face, Audrey could barely keep her smile to herself.
“Welcome back, Audrey.” Matt said, gently giving her hand another squeeze.
THE END.
