A few minutes after I regained consciousness in the real world, I heard some loud footsteps and yelling outside of the door. Then, a few people in green, blue and white busted in and to their surprise, I was awake. I’m almost certain that those people are doctors, but I can’t be sure. They explained to me why they were in a rush, apparently my stable heart rate had changed dramatically, very suddenly, again. They were worried that I might have another session of heart failure.

          “How long have I been in a coma?” My hair wasn't noticeably longer, and I wasn’t much skinnier so I thought that at most, I was out for a few months.

          “How did you know that you were in a coma? We were going to brief you on everything in a little bit.. Are you really feeling alright?” The doctors looked at me as if I was crazy.

          “Yes… I’m fine, I just didn’t remember anything about heart failures, and I’m at the hospital, so I figured that would only happen if I had amnesia or I was in a coma for a while. So how long was I in a coma?” I tried to dodge his suspicion, and get right back down to the point.

          “You’ve been in a coma for five months, Clara. The men who brought you here visit every now and then.” One of the doctors said.

          I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was in a coma for five months? I was expecting less than two months. My appearance hasn't changed at all.

          “We should probably mention that another man comes to visit you. He claimed to be your guardian, and he put you on the most expensive medical plan. That’s why you look so good, even after just waking up. We used all of our best technology on you. During every episode of your heart failures, we notified him right away, and he was by your side the entire time.”

          Someone was here waiting for me? Who could it possibly be… They even claimed to be my guardian? I don’t know anyone outside of the close circle of bodyguards. It couldn’t be him right? He never cared for me, barely even talked to me. Now he spends that much money on me? Impossible… Is what I would say, if I didn’t have just a little bit of hope that he was the one coming here everyday, worrying about me, caring for me.

          I suddenly felt dizzy, and I felt like I couldn’t see correctly. Everything was going dark, and I could hear a high pitched noise. My eyes wouldn’t open, and I could hear the doctors freaking out around me. Loud footsteps pierced my ears. Shouting, talking, whispering, I heard it all. They were rolling my bed to another room, and that’s when I lost consciousness.

          I finally woke up after what seemed to be hours, maybe even days later. Looking to my left, I was so shocked I couldn’t even move. I could see on the monitor that my heart rate was getting faster and faster. I took a deep breath, and re-examined what I just saw. Holding my hand, head on my bed, passed out, was him. Should I wake him? Or let him stay asleep? There was a sudden pounding in my head, and I remembered the recent events. Maybe I should call a doctor in.

          After looking around for awhile, I found the button that would call a doctor in. I held it down and hoped for the best. Half a minute later, there was a knock on the door and a doctor walked in. He scanned the room as he walked in.

           “Could you please explain what happened to me after I woke up from my coma?” I was still a big groggy, so I needed more clarification before I could make my own assumptions.

           “Ah, yes, I will brief you on the situation.” He cleared his throat and began.

          “Clara, after you woke up, you passed out and we carefully scanned your brain. It turns out that you had a small brain tumor. That was probably what caused all of your heart problems while you were in your comatose state. We operated immediately, because it was on the brink of causing some really bad problems for your health. Actually, this gentleman right here is the one who’s been paying for all of your treatment. If I were you, I’d take the time to thank him properly. It looks like he’s done a lot for you. Anyways, since this is the first time you’ve woken up since your surgery, let me just take some vitals and give you some prescription medication.” The doctor quickly got to work and was finished in fifteen minutes.

           “Thank you so much!” I was glad that I was alive, but I was still wondering about what happened to William, to the mansion, the peaceful green scenery. Was it really just all in my mind?

           “No problem, there should be another checkup in the next three hours or so.” The doctor walked out of the room and quietly closed the door.

           The doctor had worked so quietly that he was still sleeping. I could feel his touch on my hand. He was really warm, and it was really comforting to have someone by my side. At that moment, his caramel colored hair looked so soft, it almost shined in the sunlight peaking through the window. I used my free hand to run my fingers through his hair. It was softer than I had expected. It wasn’t particularly long, but he did have a lot of hair. It had been a long time since I had really payed this much attention to him. Maybe I could try to forget about the past, and start a new relationship with him. Then, I tried something I never would have before. I called to him by name.

           “Travis?” I was nervous, what would his reaction be? Would he wake up? Would he even hear me calling?

           He slowly lifted his head and realized my hand was there. His face lit up with a handsome smile, and he gently grabbed my hand and sat up straight.

           “Welcome back, Clara.” I hadn’t noticed it before because of how terrifying he was, but he was really good-looking.

           Was it because of William that I had wanted to fall in love with someone else again? What was making me feel this way? If I had feelings for anyone, I didn’t want it to just be a rebound. Did I really like Travis that way? I need to try to cool my head and clear my thoughts.

           “How long have you been waiting for me?” He stared at me intensely. He ignored my question and instead replied.

           “You finally called me by that name. You don’t know how long I was waiting for you to finally accept me.” I looked deeper into his eyes and noticed a lonely aura that surrounded him. It was deeply closed away, but I could catch just a glimpse of it.

           “What do you mean?” He was acting like nothing he ever did before ever mattered. I was honestly afraid of what he could do to me if I ever really let my guard down.

           “We have a lot to discuss. There are a lot of things I need to tell you, Clara.”
