Sometimes life hits you like a truck

She'd only opened her eyes but I hugged her, I hugged her tight.

I was so worried- so, so, worried. But now- sigh. I could feel my heart speeding up, my blood rushing. Perhaps this was an exaggerated reaction, but I really loved her and that's why I was so afraid. And that's why I was so exhilarated seeing her, opening her eyes. 

"What?" She stared, slightly confused. "What's wrong?"

"You don't remember?"

"The last thing I remember… oh yeah, how'd your run go?"

So, she didn't remember? And yet- she was actually worried about me instead. 

"Sixth."

She smiled slightly. "We'll get 'em next time." Her sleepy voice was weirdly comforting. 

"Right!" I hugged her tight, but I made sure it wasn't suffocating. "But I'm really glad you're okay."

I kind of had this irrational fear that she wouldn't open her eyes, that I'd lose her. 

"What happened?"

"You got trapped in the ninth dimension."
