Chapter #3
________________
Scarlett’s POV
“Scarlett are you really giving up on her?” Chris asks angry. “No I read somewhere that if you say that to a coma patient then it will increase their chances of waking up and I’m desperate Chris.” I tell him. We stay in the hallway out side of her room before all the machines in her room start to go off and I hear her scream. “Holy shit Scarlett I think it worked.” Chris says and we rush into her room and she is thrashing around.

Louri’s POV
“Major you need to calm down. And you two out so we can do our job.” I hear a voice say. Calm dawn! Fuck you my wife just left me. My eyes open and I rip my breathing tube out myself and nurses keep trying to hold me down as I get aggressive and punch one knocking them out. “MAJOR CALM DOWN!” A nurse yells. I push them out of the way and get out of bed and fall flat on my face. “Major get back in bed your body isn’t strong enough for you to be up and moving.” The nurse tells me. “I WILL CRAWL IF I HAVE TO. I HAVE TO GET TO SCARLETT I HAVE TO LET HER KNOW I’M OK I NEED TO GET TO MY WIFE!” I scream tears of emotional and physical pain running down my face. “Major what are you talking about she hasn’t left your side she’s in the hallway.” They say. “You are just saying that to get me back in bed I've heard everything she said she couldn’t do this anymore and she’s leaving me I need her. I need my wife.” I cry. “Come on Major let me help you back in bed.” They say coming to pick me up. “NO DON’T TOUCH ME!” I yell. “Go get them. I can’t get through to the Major maybe they can.” The nurse says who? Who could posibly make this better.

I can’t get through to the Major maybe they can.” The nurse says. “Mrs. Johansson, we need your help.” A nurse says popping his head out the door. I don’t say anything I just run in and as I do I hear a nurse say oh shit and I can see why she is bleeding. “Oh god Louri.” I say picking her up bridal style. “You’re still here. No don’t let me go please Scarlett don’t leave me I tried so hard to wake up.” She sobs as I lay her in the bed and I lay with her on me so the nurse can stitch back up her side. “I’m sorry for what I said. I read somewhere that if you say something like that to a coma patient it might increase the likelihood of them waking up. I was desperate. I’m not giving up Babe, I'm here with you till the end.” I tell her as she clings onto me. “Well it worked.” She says, gritting her teeth as the nurse stitches her back up. “How long was I out?” She asks. “Three months.” I tell her. “No wonder my legs gave out when I tried to leave.” She chuckles. “It’s not funny, Louri. You ripped open your stitches.” I scold. “I’m sorry. Is Devon in the hallway?” She asks. “He’s in Boston with your Mom. He thinks you won’t wake up because you don’t love him.” I tell her and her eyes fill with tears. “So I’ve torn our family apart.” She says. “No! He just doesn’t understand what’s going on. I’ll call your Mom and have her come bring him back.” I say pulling out my phone and call Lisa. “I’m tired, can I take a nap?” Louri asks. “Yeah get some rest Babe, I’ll be here.” I tell her. “But I want to talk to him first.” She says as I call Lisa. “I know you do but you need sleep.” I tell her but she shakes my head.
“Hey Scarlett Devon playing outside I’ll go get him. How is she?” She asks defeatedly.
“Will you stop give me my phone back.” I tell Louri
“Put him on.” Louri demands. “At least put it on speaker.” I tell her and she nods and does so.
“Devon someones on the phone for you.” I hear Lisa say with a confused voice.
“Hi Mommy.” Devon says and Louri breaks down in tears hearing how depressed he sounds.
“Hey little Marine.” She chokes out.
“ONLY MY MAMA CAN CALL ME THAT!!” Devon says angry not recognizing her voice.
“No Devon it’s me.” She tries.
“Your lying and that’s mean!” He yells before we hear what sounds like the phone being thrown.
“Devon Johansson-Evans don’t throw the phone.” We hear Lisa say.
“I’m sorry about him. Scarlett who is this with you I don’t recognize their voice?” Lisa asks.
“Ma it’s me having a breathing tube in my throat for so long has made my voice cracked it’ll go back to normal after a little bit. Please bring him here I’m falling asleep as we talk I need him to know that I’m up and I do love him please Ma.” She practicly pleads.
“We’ll be on the next flight out get some rest sweetie we’ll see you soon.” Lisa says.
“I love you Ma.” Louri tells her before hanging up.
“They didn’t recognize my voice and he sounded so so….” She says breaking down completely. “Shh it’s going to be ok they will be here in a few hours and you can see him please get some rest. I won’t go anywhere I won’t let you go.” I tell her holding her tight but gently so I don’t rip the newly placed stitches and she cries herself to sleep.
