•Liam's POV
I feel myself becoming conscious to the pain all over my body. I try and open my eyes but it's impossible it feels like my eyelids have been glued shut. And I'm too scared to try and move as my whole body is in pain. Where even am I?
"The blood transfusion seems to have been successful" I hear an unfamiliar voice say
Oh right. Hospital. What even happened? The last thing I remember before blacking out was hearing Riley's scream and the car coming towards me and sending me fucking flying. I do remember seeing the drivers eyes before it happened and they look really familiar but I have no idea where I've seen them before. God my ribs feel broken. I keep trying to open my eyes but it's downright impossible. Bloody hell I'm Liam O'Donovan how did I end up like this. Suddenly I hear the door open and hear footsteps of about 3 people walk in.
"I can't stand seeing them both like this" I hear a voice that I recognize as Tracy's say
Wait who's "both"? The car hit me and drove off did someone else get hurt?
"She didn't even hesitate in shutting us up and saying she's gonna give him her blood. I know she loves him and he's her boyfriend and she'd do anything for him but I'm worried. Blood transfusions often have lots of side affects and well,Riley doesn't exactly need any more. Life really isn't giving this girl a break." Tracy sighs
"At least we know Liam's gonna be okay. She'll be happy and would do it again if it means having him safe and sound" a voice I recognize as mike's says

I feel my heart jump. She gave me her blood? I mentally sighed seeing as I can't physically. As if she hasn't lost enough blood already. She's lost a ton from when she used to self harm. Is a girl so loses blood naturally every month. Has frequent nose bleeds. And now she's given me god knows how much blood. And as Tracy said, blood transfusions often have lots of side affects and she doesn't need any of that right now. Not when her anxiety's been rising more than usual lately. I take the pain I feel all over my body as a way of me fucking punching myself cause if I had just looked both ways on the street I wouldn't have got hit and she wouldn't have had to do this.
"You okay frank?" I hear Mike say
Frank doesn't say anything and I'm assuming he just answered with a motion (I can't confirm or deny since I can't bloody open my eyes) and I feel a wave of guilt wash over me.
He was so looking forward to that meet and greet and I ruined it all for him.
Some time passes in silence (I'm assuming 45 minutes or an hour?) when I hear Mike say
"How're you feeling lovely"
"How's Liam" is the respond he gets and I feel relieved that it's Riley's voice.
Mike answers something which I don't hear cause I'm too focused on trying to open my eyes. Hearing Riley's voice made me want to try harder.
I hear her get up and come over to where I am and I feel a wave of peace and calm wash over me as I feel her hand grasp mine. Her touch is one of those things that always brings me the same feeling of home,familiarity,and comfort every single time. No matter what her hands are always warm,soft and re assuring. So why do her hands feel cold this time? We could be in a snowstorm,yet her hands always remain warm. So what's wrong now? Why's it different?
Liam you fucking idiot the girl had an anxiety attack just this morning and saw me get run over by a car and just donated god knows how much of her blood to me you already know what's wrong.
I feel her hand slightly shaking and I want nothing more than to squeeze it in comfort but I can't. I keep trying but I can't.
"There's a café downstairs I can go get you a drink if you want" I hear Mike suggest to her
"No it's fine I'll go get one myself" I hear her reply

I heard the quiver in her voice. I felt her cold hands. I feel her gloom. I know seeing me like this is making it worse. She gets up and just as her hand is about to leave mine,I manage to grip it. I FINALLY MANAGED TO MOVE! I notice her jump in shock and sit back down and squeeze my hand back
"Liam please wake up" she whispers and I feel a few hot tears fall on my hand and I feel my face fall into a frown. She quickly wipes her tears on my hand off and replaces their place with a soft kiss. I feel her slightly shaking again and I know she's silently crying. Come on Liam open your damn eyes she doesn't deserve this.
I hear Mike say something about going to get a doctor to let her know I moved or something but I don't pay attention to that. My whole attention is on trying to open my eyes.
I hear the doctor come in and feel her checking some machines around me and hear her ask Riley
"Are you his girlfriend?"
Too damn right she is.
Riley doesn't say anything so I'm assuming she just nodded in response
"That'd be it then" and she explains how her presence must have helped me and how my favourite scents and sounds might help me wake up. I sure hope they remember the vanilla,coffee,guitar,shawn mendes,rain and Riley's perfume combo. But truth be told it doesn't really matter when I wake up. I mean I AM going to wake up no matter when it is I just hope Ri will be okay.
