Love without colour

Coma girl

Oswaldo's P.O.V

If there's one thing I hate doing, it's waiting, and I've been doing that for almost a year, and still Melody hasn't opened her eyes. To say that I was pissed off would be an understatement. I needed her to open her eyes and come back to me and our daughter. I missed her so much.

I was on my way back to Melody's room when I saw someone slipped in. I was too far away and too tired to get a good look at the person. I figured it was one of her family so I took my time walking back. I sip some of my coffee but cursed when the steaming hot brew burnt my lips. Coffee has become my main food supplement, I've been living off of the stuff. I had to keep awake, both of my girls needed me to stay alert.

I greeted a few of the nurses as I passed their station. Some of them thinks that it's very admirable of me to keep coming to the hospital even after so long, and others think I should just move on and carry on living my life. But what they don't know is that my life was in that hospital, lying on that bed. There was no carrying on without her.

When I got to the room I almost spilled my coffee. I knew that Max visited Melody, but he always does it when I'm not around. So, when I saw him in the room I almost lost my cool. I was still mad at the dickhead for kissing and trying to steal my girl away from me. But, I knew that causing a scene would only get us both thrown out.

He was sitting next to Melody's bed holding her hand. As I moved more into the room, he looked up and saw me. I saw a wave of emotions pass over his face, the same emotions I felt every time I looked at her. I was still very much pissed off with him, but I decided to be civil.

"Do you want to see Megan?"

He looked shocked at the offer, but he shook it off and nodded his head. I nodded back and walked out of the room, I didn't wait to see if he was following me. As I approached the nursery, I heard Max behind me. When we got to the nursery I greeted the nurse and walked over to Megan's crib. I smiled when I saw her, because she was wide awake and looking around. They said that she won't be able to recognise me for a while, but I didn't know if I believed that, because her eyes landed on me as I neared the crib.

I carefully scooped her up in my arms and rocked her from side to side.

"Hey there, beautiful, I brought someone to see you."

I turned her in my arms, carefully supporting her head so that Max could see her. He looked a little out of sort like he didn't know whether he should run or stay. I decided to make things a little easier for him.

"If you sit in one of those chairs over there..."

I pointed to the row of chairs in the corner of the room.

"...I'll bring her over and show you how to hold her."

He looked a bit unsure but then he walked over to the chair and took a seat. I followed him over and carefully placed Megan in his arms. I showed him how to support her head then took a seat not too far away. I watched as he smiled down at her and talked to her, telling her about Melody.

He suddenly looked up and apologised.

"I'm sorry bro... I shouldn't have kissed Melo, I just...she makes me feel things and I sometimes can't control myself when I'm around her, but that still doesn't excuse what I've done."

Was this fool really expecting me to feel sorry for him? Because if he was then he'd be waiting a hell of a long time.

"Is that supposed to make it better, you kiss my girlfriend twice and you tried to steal her from me. What's to make me believe that you wouldn't try to take her away from me when she wakes up? As you said, you can't control yourself when you're around her."
