said.

 

 "Yeah, and when I look at her now. I wonder if she's gonna have a future with me at all. She needs to wake up, so we can all be there for her. I mean, earlier this year, she talked about me. About loving someone else and finding a better partner. But I think that was in fear of her losing me, rather than thoughtful thinking."

 

I sighed.

 

"But I never suspected it'd be because she might die from cancer."

 

 

There was a long pause, before my eyelids closed and I was asleep.

 

I couldn't bare to sleep, but I had to get some rest after all the staring I did at Marybella.

 

I hope she wakes up soon.

 

 --

 

My eyes fluttered open and I saw Marybella, still unconsious.

 

Mark had his hand on her's, while his head slept on the end of the hospital bed.

 

I got up and stretched.

 

 

I walked out of Marybella's room and went to go get coffee, then possibly in an hour get breakfest.

 

When I got back into the room, I saw Mark looking up at Marybella, still unconsious.

 

 

"Do you think she'll wake up at all, today?" he asked me.

 

"We'll see. I have a feeling she will." I said.

 

 

I sat down on the couch that I slept on last night and watched as Mark rubbed Marybella's left hand.

 

Moments went by, but she still didn't wake up.

 

 

A moment later the same nurse from yesterday came in.

 

She checked Marybella's pulse, then her vitals.

 

 

"You're doing great Marybella." the nurse said silently.

 

The nurse never left Marybella's side while she checked on her. Mark was anxious to leave, but he stayed still, looking over her.

 

 

"There we go..." the nurse said, slightly lifting Marybella's hand

 

 

In one second, I saw Marybella move her eyelids.

 

"I just saw her move her eyes." I said abruptly.

 

 

Mark moved to my side and looked over her.

 

"She did, when? When?"

 

"Just a second ago." II said almost smiling.

 

 

We watched Marybella, as her nostrils moved up and down. While her lips looked dead and her eyes, flickering in the light the nurse flashed on Marybella.

 

 

"We have eye movment, but all we need next is for her to move and be able to speak." the nurse said, smiling.

 

Me and Mark looked closely and saw Marybella move her eyes again, this time opening them. 

 

 

Me and Mark cheered.

 

"She opened her eyes, that means she's awake!!" I shouted as we hugged.

 

 

He went over to the other side of the bed and looked into her eyes.

 

"Finally you're awake, speak, say something." he said.

 

 

She only blinked a few times, then stared at the bare ceiling.

 

Mark's smile disappeared.

 

 

The nurse kept looking at Marybella, as she still layed there motionless.

 

Mark looked back to her.

 

"I don't get it, her eyes are open. Why isn't she awake? She should be moving and everything. Marybella speak."

 

Mark's voice was unsteady

 

 

"Don't worry Mark, it takes time. She's motionless for now, but at least her senses are awake."

 

"What do you mean by that?" Mark said.

 

 

"Well she opened her eyes, and that leads to opening of the 5 senses. She's awake now, but the rest of her body isn't. Thank god she woke up now, instead of tomorrow. Otherwise we'll have her ISOSIS again. She's healthy and fine, but we'll have to wait till her muscles build up strength and feeling comes back into her body. She went through hours of surgery, so it'll take a while."

 

 

"Like, how long?" Mark asked finally, looking up from Marybella to the nurse.

 

"Few days, possibly weeks. But for now it's all up to Marybella."

 

 

"Days, weeks?" I said softly.

 

"She has to wake up her body, in order for her therapy to start." the nurse said.

 

 

The nurse walked out of the room, as we both stood there looking down at Marybella.

 

"Well thank god you're finally awake. We spent hours looking at you, but now you can finally see us." I said.

 

 

The nurse came back in abruptly.

 

"Oh just to let you know, she can't really see anything from her apointed view, in which her eyes move. So she can't move her eyes in different directions yet."

 

 

Suddenly the room drained of emotion.

 

"She can't look at you guys yet."

 

The nurse left again.

 

 

Me and Mark look at each other.

 

"She can't look at us?" I said.

 

I put myself in her field of vision.

 

"She'll remain motionless, for possibly days." I said over her.

 

 

"We have to wait, even more." Mark said.

 

"Marybella was gonna come and support me at my blog meet up. My blog media meeting is.....tomorrow." I said concerning Mark.

 

 

"It's okay, I think we can both handle going to it tomorrow. But it'll be for a good reason " Mark said, looking up at me.

 

 

"Yeah I know, but Marybella's always by my side. She's my best friend." I said.

 

And at the moment, I realized what Rikki was saying about being friends with Marybella.

 

 

She was jealous that Marybella was getting all the friend attention, rather than her.

 

Rikki isn't exactly acting like a friend these past few days, but i'll get better at trying to bring Rikki back.

 

I hope she comes back.

Sara's P.O.V

 

 

"Oh my god remember when I stole the strawberry jellly and got caught!!" I said aloud, laughing with Brian.

 

 

I decided to go visit Brian after all and try to make peace before he drags me into things.

 

Plus it's okay.

 

Brian's my ex, so he'll take care of me.

 

 

"So tell me what area you doing now?" Brain asked, sipping iced coffee.

 

"Well i'm currently working on a case, it's gonna be done tomorrow when it's official and I get paid. Finally. I've been working on this case for a long time now, and finally it's about to be over." I said.

 

 

"You've been working? for who and for what?" he asked.

 

"Just an agency, we've been on and off a person and now we're finallt gonna lock it down."

 

 

A long moment went by before either of us spoke.

 

"So, I was just wondering. You haven't been all over the place and your phone isn't blowing up. You're not texting anybody. What's up?" he asked.

 

 

"I have a boyfriend and no, we haven't been blowing up each other's phone. But he's...perfect." I reply.

 

"Does he know you've been sleeping over at my place for the past few days?"

 

 

"No." I said.

 

Brian caught me and it was official. I kinda, might have, not missed Kyle being around.

 

But it was fun to get back in contact with Brian again.

 

"I miss the old days we used to have together, when I first moved out from my caregiver's  place. I remember you telling me to get lost. Then you helped me and then you became more than just a friend, my boyfriend. A lot of memories." I said.

 

 

I looked out at the street ahead, everything was different from what I remember.

 

"New apartment huh?" I said.

 

"Yeah, I miss the old one. But this one is kind of cool." Brian replied.

 

 

I looked at the time and saw that I needed to get back to the station.

 

"I gotta go, almost ready for the case tomorrow. I have things to file at the office." I say.

 

 

"Wait." Brain said stopping me.

 

"At least steal something with me one more time, for past's sake." he says.

 

 

I looked at him curious.

 

Was I gonna go back to my old ways and steal like he did or was I gonna get the job done?

 

 

"I have only a few minutes, but for past's sake?" I say.

 

"For past's sake."

 

 

After walking to a nearby store, me and Brian did it.

 

We stole candy bars and hand sanitizers.

 

 

The clerk almost caught us, but I was lucky to get out before Brain did. 

 

"Oh my god, I forgot how fun this was before." I said, relishing the feeling of the wind on my face.

 

"But we got a good deal on candy bars, that'll last us till september!" Brian said

 

 

We both laughed silently as we walked up the street.

 

"I had fun, this was a great throwback." I said, before leaving on the metro bus.

 

 

"Yeah, I know, me too. I hope that  we can do this again. And maybe we can get back to things, like they used to be." Brian said smiling.

 

 

"We'll see." I said, finally gettinng on the bus.

 

 

I had thought about getting back together with Brain at least once, these past few days.

 

I hadn't really thought he'd want to too.

 

 

It was a major choice and decision, but I have to do what's right.

 

 

When I unlocked the door to Kyle's apartment, I saw an older looking lady put a blanket over him.

 

"Excuse me, who are you?" I said closing the door.

 

 

"I'm Kyle's mother and you should probably leave." she says.

 

"Why should I leave, I live here." I replied.

 

 

"Kyle is upset with you. You haven't returned any calls or texted him back. The type of girlfriend my son needs, is the one who will be there for him." she says.

 

 

She left in a hurry behind me. 

 

I walked over to Kyle looking at the mess of the apartment.

 

 

He hadn't cleaned it for days, I could tell.

 

Was he staying up late for me? With his mother?

 

 

"Oh, his mother visited..." I said silently, thinking back to a few days ago.

 

Instead, I was with Brian having fun. Rather than coming here and meeting her.

 

 

What a great first impression, Sara.

 

I thought about a quick response.

 

 

"Hey Kyle." I said, softly watching him get up.

 

"Sara, you're here?" he said looking up at me.

 

 

Before I can answer, he's already up and hugging me.

 

"Where have you been?" he said, hugging me tighter

 

"I'm back now." I said hugging him back.

 

Chapter Twenty: Welcome to Dollhouse

  

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

Today's the day, i'm gonna meet my long time fans for the first time.

 

 

It's been a few years since I started blogging. I can't believe this day is happening.

 

I don't necessarily feel good about today. But I have to be in a good mood.

 

Today's my day and nothing can ruin it.

 

 

 

Only 2 more hours till I have leave.

 

Just then, I get a call.

 

 

"Hello?" i answered.

 

I heard Mark over the phone.

 

"You want me to come down and see Marybella, today?" I said.

 

 

He answered back, after a second had gone by.

 

"Okay, i'm coming."

 

  

Marybella's room still looked the same from when I saw her before.

 

 

Mark walks in and I get up to greet him.

 

"Hey, she can speak." I say hurridly.

 

"Really?" he asks.

 

"Yeah, I heard her. Just now."

 

Mark hurries towards Bella's side, waiting to hear from her.

 

Silence rings in the air.

 

 

"I don't get it, you told me she finally said something. Why isn't she speaking?"

 

"Be patient she tried to say my name today in her sleep, and I think she's getting close to actually really waking up." I reply.

 

 

Just then, nurses walked in and checked on Marybella's progress.

 

The nurse from yesterday, was in the room chanting for Bella to wake up.

 

"Come on Bella move your hands. You've been doing great an hour before now, and an hour before that, and the hour before that hour. Come on." the nurse said.

 

 

Marybella's eyes shift, looking off to the side. Then straight, staring all the wall.

 

They raised up her bed, making her lay up to get a better view.

 

 

She breathed in and out from her breathing mask, motionless.

 

Then, she blinked a few times and closed her eyes.

 

Mark yelled. "No!"

 

 

Marybella flipped open her eyes.

 

He looked at her, shocked.

 

 

"Can she hear me? can she hear me?" he said, grabbing the nurses attention.

 

"She's trying to get some sleep, she's had her eyes opened for a long time yesterday. Not only can she see, but she can close her eyelids too. And by getting her attention, she can now finally hear." one of the nurses said.

 

 

Mark and I jumped
