Why Me? (Adopted By Them)

Chapter 22 - Memories

Ryan's Pov.

It's the 4th day. And she is still not awake.

I'm sitting here alone in her room, watching her, holding her hand and singing songs. I'm breaking on the inside but on the outside I'm keeping strong. Apart from the few tears.

"If you talk to her and keep on singing to her it may help. Her mind might hear you and register to what is happening around her. Using this method she may wake up." Dr. Hannah said, walking in. "I have some tests results to. Her heart rate is rising to her normal speed, but very slowly. Her temperature is staying the same but she does has a bit more colour in her. We have given her some food through a tube to get some fat on her to keep her body working properly. She will be okay Ryan. Trust me. If she doesn't wake up then, I have no idea what to say, apart from I'm so sorry. But we know it will never come t that and she will be alright. I promise. I know that's a big promise to keep but its true. Only 4% of patients haven't woken up. Phoenix is in the 96% box, I just know it, I have this feeling. Would you like something to eat? I'm about to go on my lunch break and wanted to know if you could join me?" I look up at her and smile.

"Thanks but I really want to stay here with her."

"Oh okay, I could grab something for you if you like?"

"Please, could I have a white coffee, 2 sugars, and a bacon roll? If they do bacon rolls if not then a tuna sandwich. Please." She nods, walking out. I put my gaze back on Phoenix and I saw hope for a minute but then, I knew she was still in a coma because she would of have responded to my hand squeeze.

I'm imaging these things which is not great.

"Hey Ryan." Patrick says walking in.

"Hey. I'm worried that she will not wake up." I say to Patrick.

Dr. Hannah walks in with my coffee and a sandwich.

"Hey Patrick." She says.

"Hi." He replies to her.

"Thanks for the drink and food." I say to her. She nods and leaves.

"You know Phoenix and Karrie have a brother. He ran away from the family ages ago. He left them alone. As their parents died, their brother would look after them. But he abandoned them so they was put up for adoption." Patrick tells me. I'm looking at him, crying and holding my mouth from shock. "Annd who is this brother guy?"

"His name is Daniel Lore"

"You are taking the mick right? Do you even know who Daniel Lore is?" I ask Patrick.

"Of course he is a famous singer who has gotten into a lot of trouble over the past few years with drug use. Correct?" I nod. I look back to Phoenix and just wish a miracle would happen. I take a sip of my coffee and a huge bite from my sandwich.

I walk over to Patrick and sit next to him. Resting my head on his shoulder. "She told me. She knows what you do. I know she had no right to say but she was in hysterics. It all came blurting out. Brendon told her. Are you mad?" I look at him. He shakes his head. "At least i didn't have to tell her. Or you. It would of have been harder to tell more. I'm glad he told her then she told you." I sigh. I give Patrick the other half of my sandwich.

"Ryan lets go home yeah. That is what Phoenix would want." I nod getting up. I kiss Phoenix then leave with Patrick.

"She will wake up. I know she will." I say.

"I like the fact that Brendon is her boyfriend yet he has never even been here. Its always you." Patrick says.

"I think he doesn't love her. Not as much as i do. We need a word with him."

"Ryan, your over thinking. He loves her. This might be hard for him you ever thought of that?"

"EVER THOUGHT OF THAT! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS FOR ME! I LOVE HER SO MUCH PATRICK! I REALLY DO. MORE THAN BRENDON. Its the truth." I shout at Patrick. He looks at me shocked and get in the car.

"Sorry Ryan. I didn't think. Its hard for all of us. But she is okay. I have this feeling" He says reassuring me. I get in the car. Drinking my coffee. Looking out of the window, crying.

We get back to the house and i run to Phoenix's room. I get under her covers and cry myself to sleep.

"Ryan. Ryan, Ryan wake up." I start to open my eyes to see Phoenix standing there, she was wearing a white summer dress, holding a bouquet of flowers. She had her white high heels in her hands as well. Walking over to me, I get up and walk towards the back door. Phoenix comes and joins me. Feeling the morning breeze on my face, seeing Phoenix's perfect blue hair flowing gently in the wind, makes me love her even more. I kiss her lips, and she returns it. "So Mr. Ross what do you want to do now?" I look at her confused.

"Mrs. Ross?"She nods.

"We got married?"

"Yes Ryan we got married yesterday. This is our honeymoon in Mauritius. Isn't it dreamy." I look at my wife for a second before turning to the beautiful sun rising.

"Ryan. Ryan, Ryan." I hear someone say faintly. I thought it was Phoenix shouting my name but I wake up to see Patrick giving me some food.

"Thanks, I just had this weird ass dream." I say to him.

"Oh tell me!" He sounds really enthusiastic.

"Well me and Phoenix had just got married and we was at a villa for our honeymoon. It seemed so real. What does it mean Patrick?"

"I honestly have no idea. Ryan. Sorry I couldn't help you but I have no clue."

Phoenix's Pov.

I'm drowning right now. But I'm slowly making my way to the surface. What happens if i don't make it. I will drown forever.
