Chapter 40

“I think she’s waking up.” I hear someone say and it’s like their voice echoes through an empty room.

“Jen..Jen?” I hear another voice and my eyes open slowly. At first everything seems blurred, and then steadily, my vision clears.

The first person I see is Robert and he has a look of concern on his face.

I feel a hand caressing my hair and I soon realize that it is his hand.

“I thought I lost you...” He says and I try to move. My body aches when I attempt this.

“Don’t.” I hear the voice that I heard at first.

The voice is incredibly familiar.

“Don’t try to do any harsh or fast movements.” The voice advices.

“Chad?” I ask in a tired and raspy tone.

“In the flesh.” He responds as he walks towards me and into my view.

“But—but you were hospitalized.” I say in confusion. Am I hallucinating, or am I still asleep?

“Shhh..” He says.

“You need to rest, stop talking so much.” He adds.
