Awakening
“I didn’t want to bring it up just yet, I knew she needed time but I thought that’s why she was pissed.Man, was I wrong about that one, “Nice move, man,” I say out loud to myself.I let her cool down for about an hour. Since she hasn’t come out of her room, I figure I’ll go and check on her. Knocking softly on the door, I get no response. I crack the door and look inside, “Mira?” I whisper.Getting no answer, I open the door wider and see her sleeping peacefully on top of the blankets. I grab ...one of the quilts my mom made that I keep stacked in the corner and carefully cover her legs and chest and lean lean down to kiss her forehead.“Sleep good, Pea,” I whisper into her hair.“Sky, don’t go,” she mumbles in her sleep.Sky? What the fuck?Walking out of the room and quietly shutting the door behind me, I’m baffled. I knew something was wrong, but maybe it’s not me, maybe it’s Skylar. But why Skylar? Mira did seem really upset about him knowing about Melissa and not saying anything. Knocking on Skylar’s bedroom door, he answers, “Come in.”“Hey man, I’m a little confused. I just went to check on Mi. She was sleeping on top of the blankets so I covered her with one of my mom’s quilts. When I kissed her and said to sleep good, she said something and I’m not sure how to take it.”“Well, what did she say?”“She said ‘Sky, don’t go’ and I don’t know how to take it.”“I don’t even know what to say, man. Maybe she’s dreaming.”I nod my head and exit his room. I need to wake her up and ask her what’s going on. If she thinks I’m Skylar, why wouldn’t she want me to leave? Does she have feelings for Skylar? I really don’t have any room to judge or get angry. God knows that I’ve been thinking about Melissa a lot lately. We really did get close over the last couple of weeks.Melissa is such a sweet girl. A few weeks after the accident, Skylar relieved me to get coffee and I went to the first floor where the hospital coffee shop is located. Waiting in line, I saw a beautiful brunette standing in line a few people behind me. I started up a quick conversation that didn’t last long. We ended up meeting a few more times that week and then almost daily until Mira woke up. It was really nice having someone outside my circle to talk to and Melissa felt the same about her situation. She understands me. Not that Mira doesn’t, but Melissa gets me on a different level. I have wondered in the past if Mira and I were only together because of comfort. The last six months or so were very different than the way it used to be.We stopped spending time together as much as we used to. I thought it was because of finals and the stress of our impending graduation, but now thinking back, I think we were detaching from each other. I know that I asked her to marry me and she said yes. But was it out of obligation? Do I really want to spend the rest of my life with Mira? I walk into her room and slightly shake her shoulder, “Mira, wake up. You’ve been sleeping for a while and I don’t want you to be up all night.”“I’m awake. I didn’t mean to fall asleep,”MoreLess
