Lily Halstead

Chapter 13

Two weeks had passed and Lily was still out. Both surgeries were a success and she looks like she is healing great. But just not coming off the ventilator nor waking up. And that had Will and Jay more on edge.

Will walks into the room to check on his sister and hopes she wakes up. He sits in the chair beside her and holds her hand. "Come on Lily I, we need you to wake up. Will hears a knock on the glass. "Hey Will how's she doing?" Dr.Charles walks in and stands on the other side of the bed. "No changes, I wish she would just wake up." Dr.Charles looks at Lily and takes in everything. "When she is ready ,she will." He goes to walk out and pats Will's shoulder and leaves.

A few days had past and Dr.Rhodes decides to see if he can take the tubes out and see if she can breath on her own. "You think this is a good idea?" Jay was worried and didn't want to chance anything. "We need to know and this will help. Dr.Rhodes stated. He walked over to Lily and unplugged everything and took out the tube that helped her breath.

Lily's monitors started going off and the machines showed her vitals where dropping. Connor quickly put everything back on and turned on. "We just have to wait for her to wake up." Connor placed his hand on hers and walked out. "What are we going to do Will?" Jay was even more up set. Will didn't know what to say to his brother. They both sat in the chairs and Will was trying to figure out what he could do.

Lily POV:

"Good morning Will how's Lily doing?" "She's better Natalie, just hoping she wakes soon." I could hear my brother and his girlfriend Nat. I wanted to open my eyes but I was having a really hard time. I tried to speak but something was stoping me. "There has to be a way I could let them know I'm trying to wale up." I thought to myself. I put all of my focus on my hands and hopped they moved. "Will," I heard Natalie say but Will kept quiet. I tried hard again to move my fingers and then I felt them move. "Get Dr. Rhodes and Dr.Latham!" Will yelled. I felt him place his hands on my hand and grab my hand. "I'm right here Lily."

"What is it?" I could hear Connor ask with worry in his voice. I wanted to see him. I could feel my heart race. "She moved her fingers." Will let go of my hand and I felt him step away. "Lily can you squeeze my hand?" I felt him take my hand and I tried moving my fingers. "Come on Lily." I said to myself. "Come on Lily move your fingers." I felt my fingers wrap around his fingers and then I felt him squeeze my hand. "That's my girl."

I slowly opened my eyes and see him standing over me. He smiles and then Will comes up to the bed and brushes my hair back with his hand. "Hey sis." I looked over and see Will coming up to the bed. I brought my hand out for him. "I'll leave you two alone." Connor was walking out of the room when he turns around and told Connor to let Jay know I was awake.

Jay had finally made it to my room after thirty minutes. Will and him wouldn't leave my side. "Lily we were so worried." Jay was still on edge I could tell and I think Will could as well. Dr.Latham and Connor walked in and came up to my bed. "Good seeing you awake Lily." Dr.Latham said. Dr.Charles and Ms.Goodwin was at the door. I brought my hand up to the breathing tube letting them know I want it out. "We can't take it out quite yet. We are going to slowly take you off." Connor said as Will and him was bring my hand way from the tube. I shock my head disagreeing with them both. I wanted it out I hate having it in. And if they don't I would. I was getting upset I felt trap and then that was causing flashbacks. I felt my heart start racing and then the machines were starting to go off. "Hey, hey Lily. Your ok." Dr.Charles walked in and asked everyone to give him and i a moment. "Paper and pen please." Connor handed it to him and stayed in the door way. "Do you want Dr.Rhodes to stay?" I looked over at Connor and nod. Y head yes. Connor walked over and grabbed my hand. "We had really gotten close. And I felt safe with him.
"Lily I want you to answer on this paper." He hands me the paper and pen. "Do you know what happened?"
