I look up with a tear-stained face to see a light shining down a door in the distance. In a moment of desperation to get out of this place, I immediately ran in the direction of the door. The voices of both my parents grew louder and louder the more I got closer to the door. Until finally, here I am standing in front of the door, the voices are clearer than ever. I twisted the door handle and went in without hesitation.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was blinded by the light, and the pain in my chest became even more evident. Once my vision finally readjusted, I realised that I was in the hospital, both of my parents crying their eyes out and two policemen with a pitiful expression on their faces.
"Thank the heavens, you finally opened your eyes!" My mother cried out, caressing my face softly.
"We were so worried about you, child," my father said with a tender voice.
What's happening? Why are they finally paying attention to me? Do they actually care about me?
"Don't you both.... hate me even more for what I did?" I said, not used to this kind of affection they're both displaying.
"Hate you? Child, these parents of yours never hated you the moment you came into this world."
"We're both extremely sorry that we made you think that way; we both know we are responsible for what you did, and we will do our best to protect you." With their unfamiliar words of assurance, I couldn't help but feel love for the very first time in years. Unaware of the tears I shed, my parents hugged me, making me feel their warmth. I hesitated at first but I eventually reciprocated their hug.
