End Game

Die first

Lizzie's POV.

I finally arrived at the hospital, I ran to the reception and asked for her, the nurse told me that she had been admitted to emergency surgery because she had come in with internal bleeding, that was all she knew so far about Valen.

I am very worried about her, things are not looking good at all, I asked about Fran and they told me she was also in surgery, they were both fighting for their lives.

I am sitting here just asking for a miracle, asking that the love of my life and her mother can come out of this alive. Not hearing from them is killing me, it's been an hour and the doctors are not coming out to tell me anything.

My eyes are probably swollen from crying so much, I feel my chest hurting like never before. I just want to hear that they are both okay.

Half an hour passed and finally a doctor came out, they asked if there was any of Fran's family and I quickly got up from my seat and approached her.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Cameron, Dr. Denver asked me to take over Fran's case while she is in surgery with Ms. Bustamante" the doctor explained.
"I'm Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to meet you. How is Fran?"
"The surgery was a success, what was causing her problems and pain was a scalpel that had been left in her ovary in some past surgery, a careless doctor, that was what was causing her so many problems, we had to remove the object and clean her organs, but she is fine now."
"Did the scalpel puncture any organs?" I asked.
"Fortunately no, that was a miracle because it could have been worse."
"Thank God everything went well and thanks to all of you who managed to keep Fran alive."
"It's our job" she says sweetly.
"Doctor do you know anything about Valentina?"
"The truth is I don't know anything, I'm sorry".
"Okay, do you think I could go see Fran?"
"She's recovering from the anesthesia, when she wakes up I'll let you know and you can go see her."
"Thank you."

I went back to my seat waiting for some news about Valen's condition, but nothing was happening, the waiting was driving me crazy, I thought of the worst things that could happen. I don't want to live without her, she is my love.

Three hours passed before another doctor finally came out, my eyes lifted up and connected with hers.

"Are you Valentina's family?" The doctor asked me.
"Yes, she is my girlfriend" I said without thinking what I was saying.
"I'm Dr. Denver, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Elizabeth. How is she?" I said a little impatiently.
"Valentina lost a lot of blood but we were able to control her bleeding and we were able to transfer blood to her body as well helping her recover"
"So she's alive?" I asked still scared.
"If she's alive, she's out of danger now."
"She's awake? Can I go see her now?"

"Usually I would say no but this time I will make an exception" she says.
"Thank you" we start walking down the halls of the hospital "does she have any broken bones or is she intubated?"
"No, she only suffered internal damage, her body only has some scrapes and cuts from the glass".

We arrived at the room, the doctor opened the door and she was there asleep, for some reason I expected to see her awake and smiling but it was not like that.

"I have to warn you that she probably won't wake up today, maybe tomorrow, we had to supply anesthesia and other medications so that her body could recover faster, those medications are very strong and probably make her sleep even more, that's good because we need her body to heal as soon as possible."
"But you are sure she will wake up, right?" I asked.
"Well there are always exceptions, it is never one hundred percent sure that they will wake up being under these medications."
"Oh my God" I whispered as my eyes filled with tears again.
"Hey calm down, everything will be fine, Valentina is very strong she will come out of this" she tried to comfort me.
"Can I have a moment alone with her?"
"Of course."

The doctor left the place, leaving me alone with Valen, I could see her chest rising and falling slowly, her breaths were calm, she had some scrapes on her face, her hands and arms had bruises and cuts.

I approached the stretcher where she was lying, took her hand in mine and sat down in an armchair next to her.

"Hello my love, I don't know if you hear me or you are in such a deep sleep that you don't realize I'm talking to you" I said crying "hey you can't make me wait too long to see your eyes or hear your beautiful voice again, I need you to wake up if you don't want to do it today do it tomorrow but don't make me wait longer than that, I beg you.
I have waited so long to have you back with me, I am not going to let you go now that you came back to me. This has been the worst day of my life, knowing that I could have lost you forever almost drove me crazy, Valen I'm still in love with you, I love you too much. It has always been you. Please wake up so I can tell you this, I promise I will be here when you wake up. I love you my princess."

After a few minutes of being in Valen's room crying Dr. Cameron came in and let me know that Fran had woken up, I knew I had to tell her what had happened to Valentina and that will not be easy for me. I walked to her room and knocked on the door, she told me to open it and I did.

"Hi," I said shyly.
"Lizzie? Oh god what are you doing here?" She says and her face is like she's trying to figure out what's going on "uh oh why isn't Valentina here? Something bad happened because you're here, right?"
"Fran, Valen was in a car accident on her way here, don't worry she came out of the surgery fine too, she is now sleeping from the anesthesia and some meds they gave her, but the doctor said it's possible she won't wake up" I drop the bomb.
"Oh god and how do you see her?"
"She doesn't look as bad as things sound, I just hope she can wake up soon."
"Do you think you can get them to take me to see her?" She asks me.
"Let me see what I can do."

After talking to some nurses they agreed to take Fran to Valen's room, they put her in a wheelchair and wheeled her to the other room. They left the three of us alone, Fran had tears in her eyes as she saw Valen's condition. She didn't look bad but it hurt to see her so bruised and cut.

"Oh my girl, look what you did, I know you and I know you were driving fast and carelessly to get to see me... please wake up, we made a pact remember? We would be together forever, we can't break that promise, look at me I didn't do it, you can't do it either" Fran says.

I sit there listening to it all, as I feel my heart break into a thousand pieces a thousand times again.

"I know you are hurting, I know you are hurting and not only physically, I know your heart is broken and I know how hard it has been for you to go on, but you are strong, you are the strongest person I know Valen, please wake up, we have so much to live together, we are going to go to Milan and you are going to work with your favorite designer, you are going to do so many things that make me so proud of you, I love you my daughter, I ask and beg you to open those eyes of yours, you can't leave me here alone" she says crying, filling the silence of the room with her whimpering.

We were sitting there in silence, feeling the pain eat away at us completely, it has been a few minutes since Fran stopped talking to Valen.

I looked at her hand with her tattoos and saw how she squeezed Fran's hand, we both turned to look at each other in surprise.

"Daughter, wake up we are here waiting for you" Fran says making valentina start to gently move her body.
Her eyes opened and closed trying to adjust to the light, when she finally did she smiled at the sight of Fran.
"You're okay" she whispers a little hoarsely.
"I am my girl" she smiles back at her letting a few tears fall "you idiot scared me, don't you ever do anything like that again"
"I promised you I wouldn't leave you alone, and I will continue that pact forever" she says smiling.
"You better... someone has been here since she knew about the accident" Fran comments.
Valen's eyes scan the entire room until they land on me.
