The Marked 29

“What?..the other night?” Michelle asked

“You’ve been asleep for two days now, I was worried you wouldn’t wake up.” her mother answered.

“Two days?” Michelle asked shocked

“One of the orderlies found you lying in the stairwell, the doctor said you must have been sleep walking and fell down the stairs, thank god that guy came by or you could’ve..” The woman said starting to cry.

“Mom I’m ok, don’t cry”

“Well….I called in to work, Marge is taking my place so I can stay here with you tonight the doctor said I could take you home in the morning.”

Michelle sighed resting her head on the clumps of pillows her mother so skillfully arranged behind her.

“Mom..you know I love you..right?” Michelle asked in a soft tone.

“Ofcourse honey, I love you to.” her mother replyed with a smile.
