I hear Ink snort before something light touches my forehead. "I'll come see you later, sis; I have a woman to go fucking confront."

I really want to laugh right now.

These men are so clueless about women.

I hear a door bang before Ink starts to laugh while Travis continues to trace my face. Blackness starts to come again. No, come on, I was having fun.

Please.

"Come back to me, baby."

Everything goes black on his rasp.

I hear a sniffle.

"Please wake up, Mel. It's been a month. Dagger, he's struggling without you. His dad had to force him out of your room this morning; he's barely left your side, and Lilah wants her favorite aunt back."

I want to reply. I'm her only aunt, but yet again, my body refuses to fucking listen.

This is getting boring, and I still need to figure out what happened to me.

Meghan sniffles again. "She asked about her dad again today. I told her I may have found him, but we need you to wake up. My little girl loves you so much, Mel. She said she'd give up a thousand daddy's to have her auntie back. Please wake up."

I feel my heart rate pick up.

She may have found Lilah's dad.

My heart hurts for my family; they need me.

My body goes weak again. COME ON!!

"Look, I know you're still pissed with me, Soph, but can you just sit with her until we get out of church? It's the only way Dag was willing to attend. We need to discuss what to do with Cassidy."

Cassidy?

I hear a sigh: "Yes, go."

I hear rustling before he rasps, "Thank you, Pixie."

There's a click on the door before another sigh enters the room. "Alright, girlie, you need to open your eyes soon. Dagger's losing it."

Sophie?

"Here, I'll make a deal with you. I'll forgive Ink for taking his anger out on me over his crazy ass mother if you wake up. How's that?"

I want to laugh.

I met Sophie when Travis was away, and she became our vet. She's lovely, and Ink's an idiot for screwing things up with her.

Although, didn't she just say...

"Come on, Melanie, wake up for us; wake up for me. I need a reason to forgive the idiot without him gloating. The man is a pain in the ass, and he called me a whore, but I'm ready to give in here; I miss him."

I feel her touch my hand as I try to open my eyes.

She has a fucking point; he won't let her live it down if she forgives him.

Come on, body, comply. Ink would owe me big time.
