My head! My head!
It felt like someone was crushing my brain very hard.
My vision was getting blurred.
"Mom!"
It was the last word I could shout.
The last thing I remember was my mom calling out my name while I was lying on floor, and then it was all dark.

And today I am here, at the hospital.
After I woke up, Lisa told me that it's been three days since I'm here, and I have gained consciousness today only.
"What happened? My head feels so heavy." Alice asks Lisa.
" Doctor said that you had a little bleeding inside your brain." answers Lisa.
" What? But how's that possible?"
" They are linking this to your hypertension, for now. Rest, I don't know."
"OK. Does Hayden know?"
"Yes. I called him the day after you collapsed and he came straight away. He was here today also. He came in the morning. He left after the lunch. I'll let him know that you are awake now."
"OK."
Just then Alice and Lisa's mom arrives.
"Oh honey. How are you feeling?" says mom.
"I'm fine mom. I'm sorry, I made you worry so much." says Alice.
"Oh cmon. Is this important right now?"
"I don't know mom, it just happened so fast. I couldn't do anything."
"It's ok my dear. It's ok. It's all under control now."
"How long will I be staying here mom?"
"Two more days for now, they said. They have to monitor something. They'll tell us after that."
"OK."
"For now, have some rest. I'll see you later."
" Hmm OK. Bye mom."
Mom kisses Alice on her forehead and then leaves.
Alice closes her eyes and rests her head on the pillow.

After a few hours.
"Alice? Babe?" says Hayden.
Alice opens her eyes and sees Hayden.
" Hayden.." says Alice and tears start rolling down her cheeks.
Hayden wipes her tears.
"How are you feeling?"
"Fine."
Smiles.
Hayden  takes her hand and kisses at it's back.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Yeah."
"Don't cry."
"I thought I'll never see you again."
"No hun. That's never gonna happen.
" Don't cry. You have to have rest. Don't stress yourself."
"Yeah."
"You sleep now. I'm here."
"OK"
Alice goes to sleep while Hayden sits beside her, holding her hand.

2 hours later. Alice wakes up.
Hayden...
