Hope Will Fall Tonight With Broken Wings
3 Years Later
Ever get the feeling of heavy eyelids? Like they are lead and it gives you a headache to even attempt to open them? Ever feel like you want to wake up but find it impossible? Like you are fighting against an invisible force preventing? Well that’s how Velaska felt. She felt like a punk sleeping beauty and just sleeping her life away. Fighting through the headache, she managed to open her eyes. She was scared as her eyes scanned the room around her; it was not familiar to her. When she looked to her side, she saw Charlottee just sitting in the chair beside the bed on her laptop. “Charlottee?” Velaska whispered; her voice not sounding like hers. Charlottee basically jumped out of her skin, her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw that it was actually Velaska that said her name. Then she started to cry and Velaska got scared and worried about why Charlottee was crying and she started to get hives.
“I’m sorry, so sorry” Charlottee said crying.
“Lottee, why am I in a hospital?” Velaska asked with a weak voice
“Laska, how long do you think you were here for?” Charlottee asked
“Like a week maybe” Velaska said
“Actually today marks 3 years” Charlottee said
“What happened? Where are my parents?” Velaska asked
“You and your parents got in a car accident. I’m sorry Laska but they didn’t make it. You are the only one who survived. The doctor gave my mom custody of you. We did everything that was listed in the will” Charlottee said
“Where are my parents?” Velaska asked trying to keep her voice calm although she was crying
“Beside you” Charlottee said
Velaska gave her a look but then noticed a beautiful urn that said Loving Mother and Father. Velaska lost it, she cried harder and Charlottee jumped on the bed and pulled her into a hug. “Where’s M?” Velaska asked
“Well he knows what happened. I called him personally and told him. I told him I would keep him updated. As you can see your parents got cremated, together, so you have half and he has half. And I haven’t been able to contact him since he told me he got them. I’ve tried to contact him but I failed every time” Charlottee said
“Then I guess we’ll just have to go to him” Velaska said
“Miss Sanders, you’re awake!” the doctor said as he walked into the room
“Yes I am. Now can I please go?” Velaska asked since she doesn’t like hospitals.
“I’m sorry you can’t. You just woke up from a 3 year long coma. There are test we need to do and you need to go through physical therapy. But if all’s good you should be able to leave in a month” the doctor said
“Yea well I’m leaving in 2 weeks. I don’t need a month, I’ll be fine in 2 weeks” Velaska said. Charlottee smiled to see Velaska act like her old self again. The doctor checked her vital signs, took her blood pressure and signed her up for physical therapy. “When can I do MMA again?” Velaska asked
“MMA?” the doctor asked
“Mixed Martial Arts, fighting” Velaska asked
“I will say 4 months” the doctor said
“A month it is” Velaska said. The doctor huffed in annoyance but soon left.
“So… ummm what happened in 3 years?” Velaska asked
“Well all of your stuff is in storage. We did everything your parents will said. The stuff they wanted you to have is in storage. The rest got sent to Matt to go through. I’ve came to see you everyday. Your Jeep is sitting in our driveway. So basically as soon as you’re ready we can leave for California. I thought we’d get settled in, find jobs then find your brother” Charlottee said
“Sounds awesome to me” Velaska said with a half smile
“Yea. We’ll get you back on your feet and then we go” Charlottee said
“Good. I’m gunna have to push myself to gain all my muscle back” Velaska said sadly
“But you can do it. You’ll be right back to normal” Charlottee said.
Charlottee spend a couple of more hours with Velaska. In which time Charlottee’s family came to visit, seeing how Velaska was out of the coma now. Velaska had to start physical therapy the next day. Velaska was getting annoyed at the PT because he was treating her like she was dumb. “Dude I was asleep for 3 years. I’m not retarded. Can we just work on weights now?” Velaska asked
“Fine, but you need to start small like 2lbs” the PT, Buddy, said. Velaska just smiled as she grabbed the 5lb dumbbell. “I said 2lbs” Buddy said
“Yea and I said 5; it’s my body, and trust me, I know my body can take it” Velaska said
“You know you are really annoying” Buddy said
“You’ll get over it. Besides you only have to deal with me for 2 weeks then you’re free of me” Velaska said
Velaska pushed herself for 2 weeks. She argued with Buddy every session. But soon she was back to the way she looked 3 years ago. She was finally able to go home, which Charlottee was there to pick her up. “Glad to get out?” Charlottee asked
“You have no idea” Velaska laughed. “Buddy was about to kill me”
“Did he push you too hard?” Charlottee asked concerned
“Nope. I wouldn’t listen to him” Velaska aid with a smile
“Well I’m sorry but you’ll have to share a room with me. I mean you have a cot and everything; we just don’t have enough rooms” Charlottee said
“That’s fine” Velaska said
“It won’t be for that long, like no more than a week. Because at the end of this week, we’re heading to Cali” Charlottee said
“Saweet. I’ll start looking for apartments and places of hire” Velaska said
“You can do that while I’m at work. I want you outside and about when I’m not. And I want to make sure you remember how to drive” Charlottee said
“I will, don’t worry.” Velaska said. They soon arrived home where Mrs. Delie had just finished making dinner. She pulled Velaska into a hug. “I’m so glad to see that you are okay. I’m so sorry for the lose of your parents” Mrs. Delie said and then the door bell rang. Charlottee answered it and soon came to get Velaska since the door was for her. Velaska slowly walked to the door with her head held high. She was bracing herself for people already sending her their condolences for her parents passing.
“Miss Sanders, I would just like to tell you how sorry I am for my actions towards you and your family” the guy at the door said
“What are you talking about?” Velaska asked confused
“I’m sorry. I’m the guy that caused the accident” the guy said
“So you’re the bastard that took my parents for me and my brother?” Velaska asked with a tone.
“Yes, and I’m…” the guy started to say but Velaska punched him in the face and kicked him in the stomach.
“Don’t ever talk to me again. And don’t try to contact me either. You do and I’ll do more next time then a punch in the face and kick you in the stomach. And leave before I call the cops on you” Velaska said with such a dark tone that she even scared Mrs. Delie.
“I’m sorry, so sorry” Charlottee said crying.
“Lottee, why am I in a hospital?” Velaska asked with a weak voice
“Laska, how long do you think you were here for?” Charlottee asked
“Like a week maybe” Velaska said
“Actually today marks 3 years” Charlottee said
“What happened? Where are my parents?” Velaska asked
