The Rise Of Us

Chapter 64: Raging Emotions

A few days later......

*******************

"Yes his vitals are stable and he is recovering." The doctor mentions while she holds her clipboard, her standing with Max Lucas and Amberlee.

"Then why the hell isn't he waking up?!" Amberlee questions. It has been days and Ryder is still in the same condition. He is still in the sand stance same way, he hasn't opened his eyes once and he hasn't moved once, but he is still breathing.

"Please don't tell me he's in coma." Max shakes his head.

"No no." Amberlee begins to cry.

"Okay I can assure you all he is not in coma." The doctor assures, them all sighing out in relief. "His body is very very weak however. He had two stab wounds in the torso area two slicing wounds in his arm and a stab wound in his ankle, also being severely beaten. He needs rest, so that is why it is taking him longer to wake up, his body needs time to heal and rest and even when he wakes he is going to be extremely exhausted so it is imperative to not overwhelm him." The doctor explains.

"Understood." Lucas nods his head.

"Thank you doctor." Max says.

"Of course. And also since he suffered injury in the mouth we had to put him on some laughing gas in order for us to give filling to the gums for soreness. So when he wakes up he might be a little....loopy but...I mean at least he'll laugh a little." The doctor mentions.

"Okay." Max nods her head.

"Thank you again doctor." Lucas says.

"Of course." The doctor replies before leaving out of the door, shutting it behind her.

Amberlee crosses her arms a little while she wipes her cheeks, her still being in the same state of tears and constant headaches. Her days have consisted of going to the house twice a day only for a few minutes to shower then come right back here. Her clothes have really only been night clothes or just her baggy clothes wardrobe. Today though she wears one of Ryder's long sleeved black shirts with guitars all around with her purple leggings and purple sneakers.

She needed to smell his smell, she just needs to be closer to him so she decided on wearing his shirts. But it still isn't enough. She needs his touch she needs his warm embrace she needs his voice, she needs his voice the most out of everything. She needs his deep calming sultry voice telling her how everything is okay now, she needs it and the more the days pass by the more nervous she feels herself become. She sees him laying there but no movement from him, making her super nervous.

"Was it like this when mom was in coma Dad?" Amberlee questions while looking at Ryder still. "Like...still breathing but not moving at all no talking no nothing?"

"Sweetheart the doctor said he isn't in coma." Max says.

"But what if he is what if we just don't know yet? What if—"

"Angel." Lucas interrupts her softly. "He is not in coma. Like the doctor said his body is just extremely weak he needs rest. He just needs time okay for his body to recover."

"How much time?" Amberlee questions while beginning to cry. "Dad you're more stronger than me I can't wait a year til he wakes up I can't!" She sobs out.

"No baby it's not going to be that long." Max goes to hug her, Amberlee leaning on Max and Lucas both.

"It's not going to be that long Angel." Lucas tries to assure.

"Then how long please it can't be long it can't!" Amberlee cries, her arms wrapping around Lucas. "I can't wait that long I can't I can't!"

"You won't Ambie." Max responds while cradling her face. "He's going to wake soon, his body just needs some time before he can even wake up okay. It isn't like me you can't compare it to me because the only broken bone Ryder has right now is his ankle bone. I had so many okay? It's not going to be long for him he's not even in coma. Remember the only reason why I was was because I was trapped inside of Henry Creel's mind."
