*NEW VOICEMAIL, 10:13 PM*

"Hey, babe, it's me. I need to talk to you. I know you might not want to talk to me right now, but I wanted to tell you that I shouldn't have walked out like that. I... handled it wrong. Look, if you're there, pick up. Please. Baby, pick up the phone... you know I didn't mean what I said. I was angry and upset and I lost my temper. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I wasn't thinking. I've just been kind of stressed lately, and I kinda snapped at you. I know that doesn't make it okay but... yeah. Um, i'm home now. If you get this, please come home. Alright. It's late, I don't want you out there by yourself, especially if you're upset. Alright sweetie I'm sorry. Bye."

*NEW VOICEMAIL, 3:04 AM*

"Baby, it's 3 AM. I dunno where you are, but please come home. I don't know where you are, I'm worried about you, and I want to talk to you. This isn't like you. If you're there, please pick up the phone, or at least listen to this. I texted you too. Don't get mad, but I asked around, and nobody knows where you are. Please come home. You can be mad at me right now, you can hate me right now. We can deal with that, we'll handle that. But please let me know that you're okay. I just wanna know that you're okay out there, that's all. Okay princess, get back to me soon. I love you. Bye."

(Corpse's POV)

"What happened to you?" I asked softly, holding my girlfriends hand as she was laid in a hospital bed, a tube down her throat and an oxygen tube in her nostrils.  She was littered with bruises and cuts, and she had a cast on her right leg. She was in a coma.

"Please wake up. The doctors say that you can't hear me right now...but I don't care. Do you hear me? I don't care, I just want you to wake up for me right now, that's all I want. Just open your eyes and tell me that you're okay. I don't care what the doctors say. I don't care about anything else. I know that you can hear me right now, and I just want you to wake up. I'm here now. I've always been here for you." I said, stroking her hair.

She was beautiful, even like this. I loved her so much. Seeing her like this hurt so badly, and even more because it was my fault.

 "I've always loved you. Please, come back to me. I dunno what I would do without you. I'll give up everything if I could just have you back here with me right now. Do you hear me? I'll give up everything. I can't do anything now without you. Since you've been like this. Since you've been in this hospital bed I can't even leave this hospital. I can't even go home anymore. Baby, I'm completely broken without you. You're the best thing that's ever came into my life. You've shown me that there's more to live for. You've shown me that there's good things in the world. You've shown me that there's laughter. There's love... there's you, and there's me." 

I was getting choked up. I knew if she was awake... she would tell me to let it go. She would want me to cry. So I did. I let the tears fall as they came.

"Without you there is no me. If you don't come back for me I will... I don't know what I'd do... just, come back for me, baby." I sobbed, stroking her hair again.

I regained my composure, wiping my face.

"I brought your favorite blanket. The blankets here suck, and I thought that you'd might like it. When you wake up, I figured you'd like something to remind you of home. I just took it from the bed so... yeah." 

I took a deep breath.
"So you need to wake up. We need this back at home, so, hope you understand princess, you need to wake up." I kissed her cheek. 

"Um... I brought you flowers. They didn't have your favorite in the gift shop, so hopefully these will do. I didn't want to leave for too long so I hope you don't mind. And um... Daisy misses you. She sends you lots of dog kisses. Gross ones. It's a good thing you weren't there. I keep telling her that mom is just away for a little bit. Just told her that mom's taking a little break."

I couldn't keep the conversation casual. The one sided conversation.

"I brought some of your clothes, too. I know you. When you wake up, you're gonna complain about how ugly and uncomfy the hospital gown is." I laughed a bit.
"I'll admit, it's not the most flattering... but you still look pretty good in it." 

Yeah. I really couldn't keep the conversation up. 

"Dammit, I can't do this. What am I supposed to do without you? How can I do this? How can I do any of this without you? You've always been the strong one. You've always been... the one. I need you, and I know that you've always needed me as much as I needed you. That's why we've always been so good together. So... I hope you know that you're not allowed leaving. We had plans, remember? You're not allowed to forget all of our plans." I chuckled.

"We still have to take our holiday together. You still need to show me your home town. You still have to show me all of your favorite places back home, and all the places you miss, and all the things you told me about. We have to go on a walk in your favorite park, and we have to hold hands until our palms are sweaty. I'll get you your favorite drink... sorry to say I don't remember, it's way too long, but if you tell me again, I promise you I'll never forget. I'll never forget, beautiful." I explained as I kissed the back of her knuckles.

"If I could have you back for just one minute... just one, to tell you how much I love you... to tell you how much you saved me. To explain to you why I'm never leaving your side. They'll never get me out of here. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not in a month. Ever, princess." I kissed her temple. 

"I dunno if anybody has told you this, but you and me? Well, we're a forever kind of thing. I don't know how I got so lucky to have someone so beautiful in my life, but I'm not giving up on you. I'll never give up on you. Not now... not ever, baby. Never." I kissed her again.

"I love you."
