Everything's Alright

Chapter Twenty One

MARK POV

I paced the hallway for what seemed like forever. I ran my hand through my hair, sat down and put my temple in between my hands and sat there for a few seconds. My leg started to shake and I started pacing again.. I was so scared.

"Mark...." Said a voice. I looked over and saw that it was Ozzy speaking. Their eyes were full of tears. "I'm so sorry..."

My heart broke. I sat down next to them and put an arm around them, comforting them. "She's gonna be okay, Oz. I promise."

"She wasn't breathing...fuck... I'm so fucking sorry, Mark. I didn't-"

"We don't know what caused it, okay? It could have been anything. Do not blame yourself." I said sternly.

They sobbed into their hands and I rubbed their back. Jack came over and did the same thing on the other side and Oz leaned into him, crying into his chest.

The door to Sarah's room opened. The doctor came out. I jumped up.

"How is she?" I asked, my voice hoarse.

"Not good." He said sadly. "She had an aneurysm"

I was shocked, I couldn't ask my next question.

"Will she be okay?" Ozzy asked, walking up.

"We'll have to see if there was any brain damage once she wakes up." He looked at the three of us. "She's strong. I'm sure she'll make a full recovery." He walked away.

I opened the door to her room slowly. I could hear the beeping of the heart monitor. My eyes fell upon and tears swarmed. She had more tubes now, especially around her face. I walked over to her, taking her hand.

"Sarah..." Tears steamed down my face.

The door opened and the entire Game Grumps crew burst in.

"We got Jack's message." Danny said, walking to me. I buried my head in his shoulder as I cried. "I'm so sorry, Mark..."

I lifted my head and looked at Sarah again.

"I wish it were me instead..." I whispered.

No one said anything. We all just stood and sat around, waiting for her to wake up, not knowing if she ever would.

A nurse came in to check her vitals after an hour. She left the door open. I happened to glance outside and saw the asshole who had caused the accident walking by. I shot up and marched up to him.

Pow!

I punched him in the face. He fell to the ground.

"Woah, woah!" Danny said, stepping in between us and holding me back.

"Mark, what the fuck?" Barry asked.

"Its this asshole's fault that she's in there!" I screamed, trying to get to him again.

"Punching him in the face isnt going to help you or Sarah!" Danny said.

"I don't fucking care! She shouldn't be in there!" I exclaimed. "She doesn't deserve to be in there..." I started crying again.

"I'm sorry." The man said. "Believe me I am...." He looked to the room next to Sarah's. There was a man in the bed. He looked as pale as Sarah and he had a lot of cuts across his face and arms and both of his legs were broken.

I stopped fighting Danny. He understood my pain. I fell to the ground in a fit of tears. Danny held me.

"Mark!" Ozzy hollered from inside the room. "Mark, she's waking up!"

I ran into the room and looked at her. Her blue eyes opened slowly. She looked up at me. They were kind, and then they showed nothing but fear.

"Ssh.... Its okay... You had stopped breathing. I'm sure we can get this thing off of you."

Jack left the room and came back a few minutes later with a nurse. I nodded appreciatively in his direction. He nodded back and went to stand by Ozzy.

The nurse traded the huge breather machine for a nasal cannula.

"Why do I have to have this?" She asked.

"We don't know what all was affected, so we're going to assist your organs the best we can." She said.

Sarah burrowed her eyebrows, but the nurse left before she could say anything. She then looked up at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"What happened?"

"You don't remember?"

"I remember us hanging out. And then I couldn't breathe... I blacked out."

"You....you had an aneurism... Your brain stopped working your lungs...." I said, a few tears falling from my eyes.

She reached up and wiped my cheeks. Her glittering eyes looking me over. I leaned my face into her hand. She pet my scruff.

"You need to shave. Beard's getting a little long." She said. I smirked and kissed her hand.

"You're gonna be okay, I promise." I whispered to her.

"I know...I have you." She smiled and gripped my hand.

"Rest. Regain your strength. We'll be here when you wake up." She nodded and closed her eyes.

I kissed her head.

I looked around at everyone. Suzy, Ozzy and Jack all had tears in their eyes. Danny, Arin and Barry looked sadly between the two of us. Kevin was watching TV. Fucking five year old.

Everyone just sat and stood around. There was some small talk, but everyone was acting very morbid. Even myself. I saw Ozzy fall asleep at one point and they leaned into Jack, who didn't know what to do. It was rather adorable.

"Hey, Barry, Kev and I have to go. We gotta edit and shit." Danny said.

"Yeah, dude, go. Don't sweat it." I said.

"You gonna be okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'll be fine."

"You better be. I will come back here and kick your ass."

I laughed. Leave it to Danny.

They left.

"Mark, you should sleep." Ozzy said to me. "You promised Sarah you would sleep tonight."

I sighed, remembering my promise. I nodded slowly.
"Okay. But wake me the moment anything happens, okay?" Both Ozzy and Jack nodded. I went to couch by the window. After a few minutes of watching Sarah's stomach move from her breathing, I fell asleep.
