Pretty boy diggory ~ C. diggory

chapter 29

*Florence's pov*

"Hey ced."

It was so quiet. Almost uncomfortable but not quite. I didn't know what to say. The nurses words playing in my mind.

"Try talking to him, your voice might soothe him and bring him back awake."

Just talk. That's all I needed to do.

So why was it so hard.
Why was it so hard to think of something to say?
It always came so naturally for us.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my nerves. It's ok.

"You know uh...school hasn't been the same since you left" my voice started to shake. Take a deep breath.
Just let it all out.

"There was a memorial last week. Uh all the students attended. People are kinda down lately" I stopped.

"God I miss you so much. It's been the worst week. I can't even focus in my classes. I don't even want to get up in the morning. I hate how everyone looks at me when I pass them in the corridors."

"It's like they pity me. They all look at me with these sorry looks. What am I supposed to do with that?" I squeeze his hand.

"I hate being the center of everyone's attention, even worse their pity. I miss when it was just us. It was so much easier that way. When I didn't have to share you. And that may be selfish but I don't care. I want you all to myself."

I take a deep breath. Slowly calming myself down.

"Please don't leave me ced. You can't leave me alone. You promised you wouldn't" I say tears starting to stain my cheeks.

I let my head fall into the bed. I don't know how long I was in that position for but I'm guessing awhile because next thing I knew I was woken up.
I sat up from the bed looking around. No one was there so what woke me up?

I felt a jolt in my hand. Looking down to see my hand still intertwined with Cedric's. Was that him. Was he the one that moved.

No it couldn't be the doctors said there was no movement from him.
There it was again. This time stronger than the previous two. Is this really happening? He's moving!

I jumped up from the chair running to the doors and throwing them open.
I ran until I was met with the front desk. The same nurse there with papers in her hand and a loom of confusion on her face.

"He moved!" I said trying to catch my breath.

"What?" She stood up from her chair.

"He moved his hand three times."

Without another word she rushed from behind the desk towards his room. I followed the best I could.

When we finally got to his room she was about to rush in when she turned to me.

"Stay out here" she states and walks in.

I do as I'm told waiting I sit on the bench outside and start to fiddle with my hands. It feels like forever while I'm waiting. Doctor's come rushing past me about 30 minutes ago.

Now it's just quiet.

I know his parents are on their way and should be here soon. So I was just stuck there waiting. I felt like I should be doing something. I felt useless and I hated it.

I slowly felt myself growing tired. My eyes starting to get droopy. I haven't got barely any sleep this past week.
I was exhausted. I just wanted to curl up in Cedric's arms and fall asleep.

I always slept best when I was with him. He was so comforting. Everything about him.

I slowly relaxed letting my eyes fall close and letting myself into a deep sleep.
