Hannily/Emison battle

Chapter 16: The wait.

*Three weeks later*

Emily's POV

Hanna was still in her comma. She had not yet woke up. The doctors have said the longer she is in the comma the more likely it is that she'll have brain damage if she wakes up. I don't know how I've kept myself together the past three weeks. I've just felt numb constantly, just spending days going school and then visiting Hanna at night in the hospital. Every night I beg her to wake, but she never does, I don't even know if she can hear me.. But I can't give up. I would give anything for her to wake up, I miss my best friend, I miss her dumb blonde moments and how she never fails to make me laugh whatever the situation. She knows me better than anyone.

Alison still hasn't got in touch with me and I haven't heard anything from A. I know it's selfish but I can't even think about Ali at the moment, because if I do it hurts too much. And I had to concentrate on Hanna, she needed me more at the minute. Ali has survived a year on the run without me, and let me believe she was dead, so I think she will be fine without me.

The doctors told me that sometimes recording familiar voices for the person in the comma to listen to brings them around. So I decided to record me and the girls talking to a Hanna about old memories and telling her to come back to us and put it on an iPod so I could play it to her. I also put some of her favourite songs on the iPod.

I was just approaching Hanna's room in ICU in the hospital when I saw her mom beside her bedside. As I got closer I realised that she was crying while holding Hanna's hand.

"Hey, what's wrong, has something changed?." I said walking into the room making Ashley jump.

"H- ey.. " She started to Sob hard.

I walk up to her and gave her a hug.

"Tell me what's wrong." I insisted.

"They.. They. " She trailed off.

"It's ok take your time" I reassured her.

"The doctors said that if she doesn't wake up in the next week or so.. That I should think about making the decision to turn the support machine off. Because she will end up Brian dead keeping her on the machine for so long." Ashley blurts out her voice trembling from the tears.

"No!" I yell. Collapsing on the floor. "She can't go, she has to pull through I need her." I sob.

Ashley picks me up off the floor.

"I know, I know. I need her too, but I'm not giving up on her yet, she's a fighter we know that." Ashley comforted me.

"Yh." I fake smile.

I walk towards Hanna and take her hand.

"We're not giving up on you ok. But you've got to do your part and come back to us, come on Han.. We need you." I say sobbing.

Every time I talk to her I pray that it gets through to her and that she'll come back, I look for the smallest big of movement from her. But I see nothing.

I pull myself together. Taking a deep breathe in. And sit next to Han on the bed side, stroking her blonde hair.

"I'm going to leave you with her for a while Em, while I go home and get a shower.. See you at home?" Ashley asked.

Ashley looked like a gosht, she looked awful, like she hadn't slept in weeks, which she probably hadn't. Ashley was kind enough to let me stay with her, as my mom had gone to Texas, Hanna's plan was for me to stay at hers instead of me going before all of this. And Ashley stuck to the plan. If I'm honest I think Mrs Marin liked me staying there, so she wasn't at home alone while Hanna was in here. We were keeping each other going.

"Yeah sure, go take some time for yourself, you have to look after yourself just as much as Hanna Mrs Marin, you need to keep strong her her." I smile.

"Thanks Em" she says leaving the room.

I look back to Hanna, she was still beautiful even while she was in a Coma. I kiss the top of her head and just sit starring at her for a while praying that she will soon wake.

"I got something for you." I tell her.

I take out the iPod and put the earphones in her ears. I really hope that she can hear this. And I hope it helps her pull through. I start the recording at sit back waiting to see if I get a response from her.

I sit there for hours watching Hanna in silence, I can just hear faint sounds coming from the earphones in her ears. I could make out that Beyoncé is playing in her ears. It reminds me of the night a couple of weeks ago before this whole mess happened when us girls has a party and danced to Beyoncé for hours. Then when me and Hanna had to kiss for a dare. I would give everything to go back to that day. Everyone was so happy.

All of a sudden the machine beeps.. And I see the line on the machine that was once moving up and down at a steady pace.. Go flat.
