Tattoo over my heart

Today

Chris POV

"So today?" I ask April as I hand her a cup of coffee, she nods and I sigh "did they say when?"
"Next hour or so. They are optimistic this time"
"What happens if....."
"No. Chris you can't think like that"
"I know but.....we nearly lost her"
"I know Chris but we have to stay positive okay"
I nod and see my brother walking towards us, I explained everything to him and he has been an amazing support. I also spoke with my Mum as well and she has been bringing food here for me and April since it happened. It's been 2 weeks, last week they tried to wake Harley up but it didn't go the way it was meant to and they nearly lost her, so today they are hoping to try again.

"Thank you Scott"
"No worries" he says as he hands April a container of soup.
"Mum asked if you'd be home tonight?"
"I don't know Scott, I don't wanna leave her"
"I told her that. She said she understood and she would go and fill her fridge just in case"
I can't help but smile my mum truly
Is an amazing woman.
"Miss Granger, Mr Evans?"
"Yes?"
"We are ready"
"Okay"

We head into Harley's room with a few doctors and nurses. They get set up and inject her with the drug to wake her up. I hold my breathe, this is such a scary moment especially after last time.
"Ok, she's doing well. Nurse sawyer will stay and so will doctor Robinson just incase but if she carries on this way, she should be fully alert in 2 hours"
"Thank you doctor"
He nods and leaves the room, leaving myself and April. We sit either side of Harley and hold onto her hands. We continue to talk to her hoping to bring her around and all we can do is wait.

Harley POV

Ouch! That's all I can think! Everything hurts, I can hear someone talking but I can't make it out who it is. I know I need to open my eyes, I'm trying but it's so hard. My brain feels like it's going to explode. After some time I finally manage to peel my eyes open. I look around and I see blinding white lights.
"Harley?"
I look and I try to focus on the face that belongs to that voice but it's hard.
"Harley can you hear us?"
I know that voice, I know I know that voice.
Finally my eyes focus and I see April, she is smiling down at me.

"April?" I whisper and she smiles even more, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Hi, god I thought we lost you"
I turn as I feel someone grab my other hand and I see a handsome face, a face I didn't think I was going to get to see again.
"Chris?"
"Hey, how you feeling?"
"Sore" I swallow hard, my throat feeling like sandpaper.
"Water?"
He nods and grabs a cup of water for me, I take a gentle sip and he puts it back into the table.

"What happened?"
"Jessica owed money to some drug dealers and they found out about Ryan owning half the shop so they came to collect"
I shake my head "I always knew that bitch was trouble"
"Harley.....you saved me. You protected me. Thank you"
I smile "anytime. Has anyone found Ryan?"
April shakes her head and I sigh "of course. They probably ran"
"Harley, now's not the time to be thinking about this. We need to get you back to be 100%"
I shake my head "No Chris! They are going to pay for what they have done"
