Drake's POV
It's been a week and I've stayed with Tiffany this whole time. I haven't seen or heard from Rusty but I was glad in a way. He didn't to back off. Tiffany and I were in love and nothing he could say or do was going to change that. She'd chosen me, not him!
The doctor came in and looked at me "Hey Drake, how's thing?"
"Good. Dr Newman, any news?" I ask and he smiles.
He smiled! There's news, good news!! "Well I've spoken to the other doctors and we've agreed that after the last cat scan Tiffany's swelling around the brain has gone and she's ready to be woken up" I jump up and wrap my arms around him
"That's great news" he laughs before turning serious again
"Drake, you know she might have amnesia or brain damage right?" I looked at him then at Tiffany.
She looked like an angel lying there so peacefully. I looked at him and nod "I know but as long as she's alive I'm happy!" he slaps my shoulder "You're a good kid Drake....Now!" he starts to fumble around with the machines and a nurse walks in with a new drip bag
"This stuff in here will wake her up slowly" I nod as I stand back and waited
"Drake!" I hear from behind me.
I turn to see Mr and Mrs Jenkins "Oh Hey" I say shaking his hand and giving her Mum a hug
"Doctor Newman called so we came straight away. Jo and Gabe are on their way" I nodded
"And Rusty?" I asked and they looked at each other
"He doesn't want to come. His hanging out with his girlfriend"
"Girlfriend?" I ask
"Yeah, some girl...um what's her name?" she clicks her fingers trying to remember when I ask
"Dakota?...." she looks up
"Yep, that's her name. Nice girl. Dresses a little slutty for my liking but Rusty seems happy" I nod again and look at Tiffany.
Hopefully she remembers me and how much we love each other? And not what she was feeling for Rusty? "Yeah, they were going out as we walked out and I told him. He seemed happy and wished us luck"
"Cool. Yeah, Tiffany and him were close friends" I say and they nod
"Yeah that boy was always sneaking up to see her at night. I was a little upset but they just sat there talking so we didn't mind"
"You knew?" I ask.
Tiffany's mum laughs "Yeah we knew and we were going to try stop it but in the end they would have found a way. Look Drake I know she was confused about who she liked between you and Rusty but I truly believe she chose you after that night when she got back?" I looked at her and Mr Jenkins had walked off to speak to the doctor.
She grabbed my arm pulling me towards the door and lowered her voice "I know about what happened between you and Tiffany and I'm glad she chose a nice boy as yourself. I see how much you love her and well it was her choice...." She paused for a moment
"Plus I know you used protection!" I looked at her with red cheeks and she laughed
"It's okay. I cleaned up her room and found it so I threw it away"
"Oh" was all I could say, should I apologise?
"I'm so...."
"Don't be sorry. I'm glad she used protection and felt she was ready. Now let's wait for my baby to wake up and see who she remembers?" I nod as she walks passed and grabs her husbands arm as they sit on the couch and watch the nurse and doctor change the medication to wake her up.
I stand back for a while and when the doctor and nurse leaves telling us to let them know when she starts to stir. I go sit back in my chair, holding her hand and waiting. Jo and Gabe soon arrive and they sit together on the other side of the bed. Jo looks at me and they both say Hi and ask how I am. I tell them I'm good and ask Gabe how Rusty is. He hesitates for a moment and says he's good. I smile and turn to Tiffany and wait. I can only hope she remembers everything or I'll be the only one with the memories. How much fun would that be remembering our special night together without her just doesn't seem right. Now to wait and see......................
