The best day ever

Jason Davenport

I still wasn't sure what miracle had occured while I was unconscious.

At first when I woke up, my first feeling was that of disappointment. I was disappointed that I had survived. Once again I'd proved that I'd always be a failure.

But when Amelia had barged into my ward, a crying mess, and enveloped me in a hug, I thought I was dreaming.

I still couldn't wrap it around my head but I was glad for it. Whatever had happened, I prayed that it would stay that way.

As I relaxed my pounding head onto the pillow, my door swung open and I swallowed as I saw Adrian walk in.

He stumbled awkwardly and took a seat beside me on the bed.

"Hey."

"Hey."

For a while we sat there, not uttering a word to each other.

"Why'd you do it?" Adrian finally whispered.

I didn't need to ask to know what he was talking about.

I took my time to gather myself. "I guess... I guess I was just tired of being such a failure..." I trailed off.
