When the winds are breathing low

5. I arise from dreams of thee

“Umm well... you see, we all had no idea what's going on, most of the time we only skype or chat, we all are just to busy...”

“ I completely understand, she was incredibly secretive about her disease so there was no way for you to find out about it.”

Voices... I heard some voices and mumbles. And peep'ing sound... It all seemed so far away and at the same time so close next to me. I was in some sort of sleeping state but I could almost hear everything. I tried to focus on what they were saying because I was frightened about not being able to move not even a single finger. What happened to me?

“ You were listed as her emergency contact and we have a protocol that we have to call you if something like that happens. I guess she forgot.”- a woman said.

“ So that's why she ran... ”- I heard one voice. I know that voice. But... can it be? My hand was taken and gently squeezed. I slowly tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. It felt is if they were glued together.-”When will she wake up?”

“Soon, the drugs should wear of at any moment now so it's only a matter of minutes.”- said Angella. It's her voice, I know it! I can hear everything clearly now. I use all the power I have to move my hand even a little bit and after a couple of tries I did.

“ Wait... Did she just?”- Liam. Yes, it's Liam, I know it's him! But oh no... He wasn't suppose to...-” Althea, are you awake?”

I opened my eyes and there was light... Light everywhere. I immediately shut them and groaned. Liam jumped when he heard me. I used my hand as a shield to protect my eyes from the light and slowly opened them again. I was in a hospital room but not in my usual one, this one was smaller and duller with a bunch of medical equipment around my bed. I slowly lifted my arm from my eyes and saw that it had bunch of wires on it, my eyes wondered to my left arm and saw that it was the same like the other. Then when I got familiar with surroundings my eyes locked with Liam's.

“ What happened? How did you- How are you here?”- I cupped his face with my hand. I missed my best friend so much over these last few months. He looked extremely tired, there were dark circles under his eyes, his hair was all messed up and he just looked wrong. Not like his usual self.-” Li, why do you look so bad?”

He just laughed and brushed of a few tears that escaped his eyes.-” Oh babe, how I missed you...”- He leaned in and hugged me tightly. I sat there on a plastic mattress frozen for a moment, taken aback from his words and hugged him back. It felt so good, I haven't felt like this in forever.

“ I missed you too, boo”-I whispered to him. Tears were burning my eyes and it was hard to breathe due to the lump in my throat. I blinked few times and broke off our hug to speak with him and Angella.-” Can you both explain what happened to me? And then how did you came here?”

Angella came closer to me and sat on the edge of my bed. She took my hand in hers and smiled with her sad smile that I already got too familiar.-” Well, it seems that you had what's called a “Broken Heart Syndrome”. In other words stress-induced cardiomyopathy. It's a reaction to a surge of stress hormones — that can be caused by an emotionally stressful event like the death of a loved one or a divorce, breakup or...”

“... or that video”- I cut Angella off. That video of Harry singing, that's what caused it. I sighed and took my head in my hands.-” Why am I so weak? I mean, I knew it's going to be hard, I chose this and still... I'm like some... I don't even know what but I keep freaking out over things like this!”

“Hey, Althea, calm down okay? I'm here now, I'm going to help you so you won't have to do this alone”- Liam smiled at me and brought my hand to his lips. He blew warm air and then rubbed them. I looked at him for a bit and then realized... Who called him?

“Wait, you still haven't explained how are you here?”- I looked at him with confusion. Then my look drifted to guilty looking Angella.-” Oh no you didn't!”

“ Before you get to mad just listen to me, okay?”- She stood up from my bed and walked to the end of it. I gave her a nod and waited. She took a deep breath and began spilling everything so fast that I almost couldn't understand it:” When I came into the room and saw you in the condition that you were in I got sooo scared because you were fine just the moment ago when I left you. Then we tried to help you, we paged a lot of doctors, we gave you meds, we took you to scans and Dr. Florette said that I have to call your emergency contact because that's the protocol, and I didn't what to do that because I knew that you would be mad but I love my job and I need it so I did and it was Liam and I had to tell him everything and here he is...”- She finished without any breath left looking a bit purple.

“ Okay, okay, relax what's done is done. I understand that you had to do it, thank you.”- I sretched out my arm toward her for a hug and she gladly accepted it, but it was broken off by Liam's phone ringing. He mumbled „sorry“ and answered it walking towards the window.

„ Hi Niall... yeah, she's fine now, she's awake...“

„ LI, YOU TOLD NIALL?!”- I couldn't keep myself from shouting it out. He looked so lost and started to stutter something out: “Oh, well... you see, it just happened...”

“ If Niall knows then he will tell everyone, you know how he is!”- I disappointedly looked at him.

“ Umm, about that... He and Lou are here and others are on their way...”

Today is October 3rd and today is the day we all reunite.
