"Peter...either Aunt May's brownies had drugs in them making me hallucinate this, or you're actually spider-man...."
"You're the Spider-Man from YouTube!"
"No. No, I'm not"
"Ned, pinch me." I exclaimed holding out my arm "Oww! Ok definitely not hall...

Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep...
What the- whats making all that noise?
The sound continues, where am i? Am i dead? That beeping...it sounds like those hospital heart beat machines...is that where i am? The hospital?
A familiar voice stood out amongst the beeping
"Oh my poor darling, i should have been there for you" Mom? it sounded like her voice but it couldn't be possible...Aunt Jenny left me a note last week saying she went to pick her up but she never came home...how have i suddenly forgotten and didn't question Aunt Jenny about why Mom wasn't here?
"I wish that i spent more time with you and was there for you over these last couple of years when you needed me the most, I was too busy trying to distract myself from what happened between me and your Father by throwing myself into work but didn't realise the effect it was having on you too. I've failed as a Mother-" Her voice cracked, by the sound of her sniffles she must be crying.
It was my Mom...
I felt a warmth in my hand and realised she must be holding it. I felt her other hand encase my hand between her two and ran her fingers over my knuckles.
If i were awake id probably be blubbering like a fish and accepting my Mom's apology with open arms...I forgive you Mom...
She didn't speak for a good ten minutes and the only sound in the room were the beeps from the machine and my Mom's sniffling.
Focusing all my energy i tried to move my fingers or anything to let her know that i could hear her or that im awake, but my body felt like a heap of rocks that refused to move.
Come on...GET UP! I screamed in my head WAKE UP!
I tried again and again but my body wouldn't listen...It's like a dog refusing to move when on a walk...resisting the pull of the lead as their owner tugs them along.
MOVE! i demanded
i felt my finger lift into the air and back down again. AHA! i had my foot wedged in the door, now all i have to do is pry it open.
I felt my Moms hand lift from mine her sniffling quietening ask she spoke softly "Gracie...Gracie honey are you there?" i felt myself becoming stronger. I squeezed my Mom's hand that was below mine gently. I heard her gasp "Gracie! Oh my god you're awake...come on baby open those eyes you can do it"
Fighting my absolute hardest to open my eyes from the darkness i saw a speck of bright light, using ultimate force i stretched my eyes to open. The light becoming brighter and brighter until finally my eyes were fully open...the room was heavily blurred until after a couple blinks the sharpness of everything came back to me. The bright light i was seeing darkened till i saw the head lamp above me shining in my direction, taking everything in i looked around the approved hospital room i was in before making eye contact with the person who gave me life.
