Breaking Relations [1]

My own coughing sound woke me up from a deep slumber.

Darkness covered my every sense, as I barely had the strength to even move.

"Take it easy."

Someone's gentle hand helped me lift my torso before I moved slightly to lay my back against something soft, which I assumed to be a bed.

My eyes fluttered open gently as I looked up at the plain white ceiling.

A gentle light illuminated the room, the irritating beeping sound echoing in my ear.

"...Az."

Hearing the voice, I turned to look to my side.

I could see quite a number of people standing there.

"Are you feeling alright?" Christina asked with a light smile, sitting on the chair beside the bed.

My gaze remained on her as I gently nodded, then moved my gaze past her.

Avril and Shyamal stood close to the wall while Ashlyn stood just behind Christina, looking at me with mixed emotions.
