Missing Him

Days have passed, and the eyes that everyone had been dying to see have finally opened. Laura got up from the bed and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. She felt her body being stiff as if she had not walked for weeks.

As she was about to get off the bed, the door opened and entered Mary who widened her eyes and almost dropped the vase she was holding, upon seeing the person who was originally lying down, now sitting down on the bed. 

"You're awake!" cried out Mary as she rushed towards Laura and noticed that she was just about to get off the bed. "Get back into bed," Mary ordered, and Laura followed as she was still half-awake. 'Oh, It's Mary, this might be a dream; she thought. But once Mary gave her a cup of water she then realized it wasn't. The feel of the glass cup was real and was just what she needed now, as her scratchy throat was begging for water earlier.
