You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Carter's p.o.v

It's been a day. Bradley is a little bit better, but he still hasn't woken up. It's tearing me apart. I didn't sleep at all, the nurses kept coming in, to check on him.

I stood up, and walked over to Brad. I put his hand in mine. "Bradley, babe. If you hear me, squeeze my hand. I need to know you can hear me." I told him.

Bradley's p.o.v (he's still in a coma)

"Bradley, babe. If you hear me, squeeze my hand. I need to know you can hear me." Carter spoke. I tried so hard, to squeeze her hand, which was in mine.

After 3 minutes of trying, I think I squeezed it a little. I talked to Brenda yesterday. I saw her. She looked really healthy. She even had hair.

She told me she would visit me every day to make sure I didn't die.

Carter's p.o.v

When I told him to squeeze my hand, he did nothing. I waited a few more minutes, then he did it. He squeezed my hand.

"James, he squeezed my hand! He did it!" I said. James ran over to my side, and smiled. I put my hand on his face, and cupped his cheek. "Please wake up, love." I told him.

"Mate, wake up. I miss your voice, and I miss fooling around with you. Please wake up." James said.

"You can hear me, you squeezed my hand. I love you so much, babe. I really do. I feel like I never told you that enough-- that I love you. I'm sorry that sometimes I took you for granted. I don't mean too. You mean the world to me, Bradley. You can't leave me alone. I need you." I said with tears in my eyes.

James rubbed my back. "I remember when we were on tour and we played basketball, and you'd always lose." He laughed as he talked to Brad.

Someone knocked on the door. I turned and saw Tristan. He hugged me. "How is he?" Tris asked. "He squeezed my hand, Tris." I smiled.

"Really? That's good!" He smiled. "do you mind if I hold his hand?" Tristan asked me. "Go for it." I said as I moved to the side.

"Bradley, you're strong. You can get through anything. I know you can get through this. Keep fighting, keep pushing. You never give up on anything. Just wake up, I miss you, mate." Tristan told him.

I cried as he talked to him. I can't believe Bradley is in a coma. James held me, and I cried. "He'll be okay, I promise you." James told me.

"Thank you." I said hugging him. "You need to get some rest, go home and rest for a while." James told me. "I'm fine. I really don't want to leave his side right now. I'll go later." I told him.

"Are you sure? I'm going to go shower, and I'll come right back." James told me. "Okay, see you soon." I said hugging him. I sat down in the chair. I covered myself with a blanket.

James left, and I sent him a text.

To: James Mcvey😛
Can you bring me one of Brad's sweaters from our house? Any one will do, really. There's a key in the plant.

From: James Mcvey😛
Sure thing.

I locked my phone. Tris was still holding Brad's hand. He just looked at him in disbelief. There were tears rolling down Tristan's face.

After a few more minutes, he came and sat next to me. "Why does this happen to us, Tris? It isn't fair." I sighed.

"I know, I'm sorry." He told me. A nurse came in, and checked his IV, then quickly changed it. "He seems to be doing a lot better." She smiled at me.

She walked out, and closed the door. I walked over to Brad, and held his hand. "One of my favorite memories together was when we went together to New York for my first photoshoot. We weren't even together at the time, and you were so flirty, and that's when I realized I really liked you." I told him.

"I love you, so much Bradley. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." I said smiling. I cupped his cheek with my hand. I smiled at him, as tears rolled down my face.

Brad's p.o.v

"I'm in so much pain, Brenda. Why does it hurt so bad?" I asked Brenda. She looked at me before she spoke.

"It's supposed to hurt, Brad. I know you're in pain, love. Please just don't give up. You need to try and wake up, soon. You cannot leave Carter by herself. She needs you more than ever." Brenda told me.

"I don't want to leave her. I want to wake up. How do I wake up? Please help me." I begged her.

"You can't wake up right now. You will soon, but not today. Please understand that. When you wake up, and see Carter, tell her I miss her." Brenda told me before she left.

"One of my favorite memories together was when we went together to New York for my first photoshoot. We weren't even together at the time, and you were so flirty, and that's when I realized I really liked you." Carter said.

"That's one of my favorites too." I smiled as I saw her. Her eyes looked red. It looks like she has been crying for a while now.

I know she can't hear me, but I'm talking to her anyway. "I love you, so much Bradley. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." She told me. She cupped my cheek with her hand.

She smiled at me as tears rolled down her face. I really just want to get up, and wipe the tears from her face. She doesn't deserve this.

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Carter Caylen-Simpson." I smiled lightly.

Carter's p.o.v

I went and sat down. Just looking at Bradley's lifeless body laying there, kills me.

I can't do anything to make him feel better, or wake up. Tristan put an arm around me. "He's going to be okay. He always manages to be okay." He told me.
