Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

She's Waking Up

~Stefan~
I didn't get a chance to heal her with my blood, she passed out before I could. We brought her to the hospital because we aren't sure if she has any head trauma from when he dropped her head on the ground. She couldn't breathe on her own, so they put her on life support. Now, she's in a coma.

She's been asleep for almost 2 hours now and Caroline, Bonnie, Elena and I are all here at the hospital with her. Elena stayed by Maya's side the entire time, never leaving it. Elena and Maya were like one, well I mean there were some things that Caroline knew about Maya that Elena didn't and I'm sure the same went for Elena.

Either way, she'd be lost without her sister and there's no way she could go on without her. I felt horrible for Elena, but even worse for Maya. I mean look at all the stuff she's going through.

I like Maya. And I may never get to tell her that. How did it take me this long to realize that?

"Stefan?" I hear Caroline say. "Hm?" "Your... Your crying" "No I'm not" "Yeah, you are" Bonnie backed up. "You gonna tell us what's going on inside that head?" "You can't tell anyone, ok?" "Pinkie promise" Caroline said, all to cheery.

"I like her, it took me this long to realize it but I like Maya, and I can't tell her" "Tell her when she wakes up" "What if she doesn't?" "She will, that girl in there... She's strong as hell" "Yeah she is" I agreed. "What-?" "She will!" They yelled together, making us all laugh.

~Three days later ~
Neither Elena or I have moved from where we are. I think at this point, everyone is starting to give up when Elena comes out to where I am and says, "She's waking up!" "What?" I ask, jumping up.
