Once upon a time

chapter 24

"Please don't leave us Edward." I whisper out.

Louis' pov 

It's been two days of Edward being in his coma, I haven't left his side. I'm scared that if I do that he will be gone, I'm just so scared that he will leave us... leave me. 

Today is the first time that I'm alone with him. Marcel and Harry needed to work even if they didn't want to leave Edward's side either but they know that Edward would hate it if they ruined their business due to this so they actually went and left me alone with Edward. 

I'm sat next to Edward with his hand in mine but I can't help but be scared of this Edward, this is not my Edward... This Edward makes me sad and scared and I just can't help those feelings however much I want to. 

I have nothing to tell him and the nurses keep pushing me to talk to him, they say that it helps. It might but I don't know what to say. 

I squeeze Edward's hand while a single tear rolls down my face. Suddenly I remember that whenever I felt down or was sick that my mom or Liam would tell me a story which always made me feel better. 

"Once upon a time... there was a lonely boy living in the king dome of the 3 handsome kings, the kings were believed to be brutes. 

One day the the lonely boy had to go to the castle because his brother has send him there to stay. Upon arriving the 3 kings didn't seem to care for the boy, they kept up their act to make sure to uphold their status. 

The lonely boy got lonelier with the days passing and the 3 kings noticed it, the least scary one of the kings went to the lonely boy and talked to him making the lonely boy less lonely that day. 

The following day the kings talked to each other and promised to try and be nicer to the lonely boy who unbeknownst to them already had a place in their hearts. 

The 3 kings spend more and more time with the boy making him happier then he had ever been. 

The people of the king dome all noticed the change in the 3 kings and everyone loved it especially when the 3 kings announced that they will be hoisting a dance in their castle for everyone. 

The night of the dance the 3 kings danced with the boy until the stars lit up the sky, they took the boy outside to the rose garden and kissed him for the first time and the 3 kings promised to be with the boy forever and ever no matter what..." 

I look up at Edward with glassy eyes due to the tears that gathered while I told Edward the story. 

A part of me just hoped that when I finished the story that his eyes would be open and that I could look into his beautiful green eyes again but that wasn't the case. His eyes were still closed while he laid there not moving. 

I bring his hand to my heart and hold onto it for dear life "I wish that you could promise me Eddie, I love you so much and I'm not ready to let you go! Please just don't leave me." I sob out. 

I stay like that for a while when I feel his hand squeeze mine out of nowhere, I jump up in shock and look at his face in the hope to see something and this time I do. His eyes are twitching and he softly squeezes my hand again. 

His eyes start twitching even more, I'm too shocked to even more to press the call button to call the nurse in. 

Slowly his eyes open and he blinks fast probably to adjust to the light, his eyes then fall on me and a small smile shows on his face. "L-Lou" "Sh sh don't talk Eddie, I'm here." I scoot as close as possible to him to the point that I'm almost sitting on his bed while he looks at me with his beautiful green eyes filled with love and relief. "I-I thought that I lost you Eddie, B-but you're here... You're still here." I stutter out in disbelieve while happy tears roll down my face. 

"I-I would never leave you my sweet boy." Edward whispers out sounding really tired. 

"I love you Eddie." I whisper out and kiss his hand softly while staring at his face that has a small smile on it. 

"I love you too my sweet boy, I can't live withou-" 

A hand shaking my shoulder is was makes me look up, I see Marcel and Harry standing there with sad and tired looks on their faces, why are they sad? Can't they see that Edward is awake? 

I was about to ask them about it when I notice how limp Edward's hand is out of nowhere, I look back to see that Edward is still laying in the exact same way as he has been for 2 days now. My heart sinks and I look back at Harry and Marcel who give me a sad smile "I-I thought that he was awake! I really believed that he was awake! He promised to not leave me! Please just wake him back up! Please!" 

Harry and Marcel wrap their arms around me and hold me close to them while I breakdown. 

I really thought that he was awake... 

"Shhh baby, we are here for you. Let it all out baby." Harry puts my face into his neck which calms me down slightly while Marcel rubs my back while humming softly. 

It seemed so real... 

I just wish that it was actually real.
