…My hand falling limply down my side, tears forming around my own eyes. I feel my hand being grabbed by soft fingers, ones i recognise, Mel’s. Her mascara now smudged halfway down her face, her hair filled with glass, scraped paint, and dust from the air bag, messy. Squeezing her hand I realised something, somehow, at that very moment, looking into her eyes.
I knew it…
I don’t know what happened for a while, after that i must have blacked out. All i know is that i woke up 8 days later after an induced coma, in a shared hospital room with Chris, Charlotte and Mel sitting on the lounge chairs sleeping like; well… gracefully. I looked across to Chris, reading a book, his right leg broken, yet a glow was lingering about him.
Having a father for a doctor, and noting no pain, i got up, and took a look at the chart at the foot of my bed, deciphering the doctors and nurses scribbles i noted i had in fact two broken ribs, bruising of the lungs and head trauma which explained the induced coma for risk of swelling of the brain.
A note was scribbled at the bottom: healing process advanced, regarding hereditary factors.
I had no idea, what that meant, and chose to ignore it. Moving across to the lounge chair in which Mel was spread across at awkward angles, in a peaceful sleep. Sweeping her hair behind her, she stirred. Eyes blinking in the light refracted off the floor. She jolted back, in shock, as her eyes focused on me, and then relaxed immediately as she realised who it was. Jesus Charlie, you scared the shit out of me. Get rid of that bandage around your head, its all bloody.
Realisation struck her eyes, widening immediately. As she shook Charlotte’s arm to rouse her.
Oh shit Charlie, its all bloody. Lie down, let me get a nurse!
I did feel woozy all of a sudden, and wondered for a second why i everything had turned sideways.
Who flicked off the lights?

… “I suggest, that we spend the whole day in bed, and do absolutely nothing.”
“Absolutely nothing?” I offered in return.
“Yes, absolutely nothing” Kissing me fully on the lips and rolling me over.
And so we did….
No, i will not reveal what happened next, i’m sorry but my story isn’t always going to be absolutely everything is it now? It’s not like you missed out on much, like she said, absolutely nothing happened…
Where should i begin? Oh yes.
“You know,” she whispered, her hair lying in a pool splayed everywhere, a sense of placement amongst the mess. “I would never have expected this to happen”
I turn to look at her, a smile pulling across the edges of my mouth, “Are you suggesting something?” I jokingly suggest.
“Of course darling,” she winked, as she moved her hand up and down my arm, leaving a trail of shivers. “Now, can i suggest something else?”
I smile, stroking her long hair, letting it fall through my fingertips entranced by their movements as they wrapped themselves against the curves of my fingers. “I’m liking these suggestions, what would it entail?”
“A surprise, but you’ll have to trust me..” She said, “Get dressed, we’re going out..”
She moved under the covers, giving me a kiss as she walked into the next room, watching her leave, her hair falling onto her shoulders, i called out “This wasn’t the surprise i was hoping for, you do realise its late?”
Popping her head around the door, her shoulders and the nape of her neck visible, “Its only 7pm dear, its just darker than usual”
Sighing, i fell back onto bed, wishing to just remain where we had, shutting my eyes, in an attempt to gather what remains of energy i had in order to prepare myself for the nights activities, whatever they may be,
I detested not knowing what was coming, i was curious.
I thought i heard something, but kept my eyes shut anyway.
A kiss on my lips out of nowhere, my eyes bolting open, shocked, my vision surrounded in a circle of her hair, her eyes glimmering in the light reflected off the bedside table.
“No, i know what you’re thinking, that’s not it, now get up and get moving, or we’ll miss out!”
Leaving in the car 10 minutes later, i looked out to the shops as they passed by, the street lights above flickering across my face as we raced by, i wondered, just wondered, where i was going, and where this would take me.
