When Lucas said that, I felt alieved because I was already creating scenarios in my mind if he had said no.
Lucas: "Just give me like 5 minutes so I can tell the nurses that I'm going to take a long break just in case they come looking for me."
I nodded when he finished talking. Once he left I was once again left alone with my thoughts. I started thinking about how my life came to be. I was now 19 years old, which is kind of hard to believe although I was in a coma for 15 years and all I could keep remembering was the accident. Then I thought how is it possible to even remember these things if I was only 4 years old although I was in a coma... I haven't even been to kindergarten. How the hell is it even possible to think like this? I mean when I was 4 years old the only words I could say were the basics.
Suddenly the door opened abruptly and Lucas walks in looking a bit irritated.
Lucas: "Hey sorry that took so long..."
Emile: "Don't worry it's just that you look a bit irritated."
Lucas: "Oh yeah, sorry it's just that you know the nurses can be a bit overwhelming."
Emile: "I mean I kind of noticed when the nurse walked in while you were here... She gave me a nasty look."
Lucas: "Yeah they can be like that a lot."
Emile: "I don't know why though, it's not like I'm pretty or anything..."
After I said that, Lucas looked at me in shock. I just stared at him confused.
Lucas: "Have you seen yourself in the mirror yet?"
Emile: "No... Why?"
He left the room without any explanation. 5 seconds later he came back but with a mirror in his hand. Once he sat down next to me he handed it over to me.
Lucas: "Here why don't you take a look for yourself."
As I took the mirror anticipating for my hair to look like a bird's nest but instead I saw a girl with white flawless skin. My hair wasn't a mess, it was actually very nice. It was a dirty blonde but browner than blonde but it was a unique color. My eyes were the ones that stood out more. One eye was light brown while the other one was a vibrant green with brown flecks. My eyelashes were long but not exaggerated. I had freckles like a light blush. I touched my face in awe.
Emile: "Wow."
Lucas: "See I told you so."
He flashed a pearly white smile at me and I felt like I was in heaven.
