The hands wrapped around his neck and squeezed. He felt his body convulsing to the pressure, and his body started to expand in agony. Pain rushed into his head as a single light scorched the bed he rested upon. The devil woman sat on his chest, squeezing the life out of him. A million thoughts and emotions flooded his head. His heart started to feel like it was going to erupt. He was losing a battle with himself, and his own fears.<br/><br/>He was about to pass away-<br/><br/>He looked around the room, into the darkness, hoping to find Nadia- and she was there- suddenly holding his hand. It felt like hours but finally he caught a breath through the clenched hands, and a million needles invaded his nerves with pain and relief. Nadia, with fiery eyes, was suddenly feral and vivid as she jumped onto Autumn and pulled her off. She pulled Autumn into the darkness with screams. David looked around the room as the screams disappeared, and a familiar 'beep' echoed in the room.<br/><br/>The room turned bright, too bright again, and then he was there in the hospital. He was awake. He caught his breath for what felt like the first time in a long time, and relief poured over him. His head spun, but it felt good to feel something real again. Whatever was holding him back from this world he felt was gone, and it was because of his love for Nadia. Nadia was all he wanted in his life. He didn't care about acting, or finding a career, or even making an impact in the world. He could scrub floors for the rest of his life, as long as he was with Nadia. Right now, she was everything to him.<br/><br/>"Welcome back," said a voice. It was Doctor Suden at his side with a nurse checking his IV. "We were afraid we lost you again, but luckily you've only been out for a few hours. Are you alright?"<br/><br/>He started to get feeling in his body again. It felt good to be alive again, to be back on earth. It felt like he was being given a second chance, to make the right choice this time. He was choosing Nadia, without any hesitation. "Yeah, I- I'm better now," he told her.<br/><br/>"Your girlfriend is a fiery one. She knocked over the table," she pointed to the table in the room. It was cleaned up by now, but David smirked a bit. "She certainly is. I'm lucky to have her," he chuckled a bit.<br/><br/>"I'll send someone to bring her in," she told David.<br/><br/>"Thank you," he said while trying to settle his mind, and hoping he wouldn't slip into that place anymore. He focused on here and now, and did everything in his power to stay.
