Dan

I get out of bed. I roll over and check the clock. 10:23. Shit, I'm late. I rush out of my bedroom and into the bathroom. I quickly brush my teeth. Then, I go and grab grey sweatpants and a plain black tee. I grab my phone and I head out the door.

"Hi, Mr. Howell," the lady at the front desk greets.
"Hey, any news?" I ask her that everyday. Everyday I get the same response.
"No."
I sigh, like everyday. I go up the elevator 2 levels and head down to room 243. I open up the door and see her laying there. I go over and kiss her forehead and I tell how lovely she looks today. The bones in her chest are becoming noticeable. Her arms are way skinnier then they were before she was put here. I just miss her so much.

The doctor told me that when people are in a coma, they can here what people are saying to them, but just can't respond. I hope to god she gets through this. She is my life. I can't live without her. I can't go on without her.

The day goes by like it always does. I read her a book and go through social media. Every now and then, nurses come in and check on her. Everyday the clock ticks slower and every moment goes by in a blur. It's been 6 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days since it happened. We had so much planned for our future and for a moment to take it away, I just can't. If she doesn't make it through neither will I.

My stomach starts to growl really loud and I realized I missed breakfast. I go down to the cafeteria and grab a bottle of sprite, an apple, and a be of baked potato chips. I run back up to the room and sit down to have a lunch with her. I turn the tv on and her favorite movie, Corpse Bride, is on. I eat my small meal and watch the movie.

Half way through, I feel my eyes get droopy and I let the darkness over take me.

Authors Note: I know this 1st chapter is confusing, but when I get into it, it will make sense. Also really short chapter, but trust me they will get longer.
