Spencer has been kneeling on the floor and crying into my hand for what seems like forever. He finally gains the strength to push himself up from the floor to sit in the chair beside the bed. He wipes away the tears and takes a breath, I'm guessing that he's trying to compose his thoughts. "Err, I em..." He's adorable when he gets flustered. "I was reading a study a while ago that said talking to coma patients was good, it err, it stimulates them. Although I don't really know what to say to you."
I sit on the floor and rest my back against the bed while I listen to what Spencer has to say. "I guess I could say how much you mean to me, how much I love you but I think you know that already. I just want you to be free from that monster. I want that life with you and the baby, the house with a garden for him or her to run about in. I don't know for sure if I'm the dad because I know what Alan does to you." Spencer clenches his fists as he fights back more emotions. "I hate knowing that, I wish I could wipe it from my memory but I can't. I just want us to be together, I don't know if that's shellfish but it's all I can think about. I don't even care if the baby is his, that doesn't matter to me, it is part of you so I love it anyways. I swear to you Alannah no matter what happens I will protect both of you from now on." Spencer takes my hand in his again, "Whatever it takes to get you away from him I will do it. I know I didn't handle the news about the baby very well, I guess I was upset that you lied to me, but I understand why you did it. I understand all of it, why you're pushing us all away, you don't want Alan hurting us but there's more to it now, we have the baby to think about. Whatever it takes Alannah, I promise you I will do whatever it takes to protect you both." Spencer kisses my hand, but there's something different about this kiss, I felt it, the ghost me felt the kiss that Spencer gave to the unconscious me.
"What's happening?" I ask myself as I look at my hand to see if I could see what was happening, but there was nothing there.
"That's you getting better." Comes a woman's voice from behind me, a voice that was snatched away from me just as I was getting my life back on track. I get up from the floor and turn to see my aunt and uncle.
"Auntie Sarah, Uncle Danny, if I'm getting better why can I see you." I ask them.
"Well that's because you're not quite there yet." Uncle Danny says.
"But it's a good sign that you can feel his kiss." Auntie Sarah says sweetly.
"I'm so sorry." I feel like a teenager again, standing in front of them.
"Oh honey, why are you sorry?" Auntie Sarah asks as she walks around the bed and places her arms around me.
"I let Brendan into the house, if I hadn't then you would still be here." I cry into her hug.
"That wasn't your fault Alannah, it was our job to protect you not the other way around." Uncle Danny says as he places a hand on my shoulder.
"Listen to me honey." Auntie Sarah says as she pulls me out of the hug and places her hands on my shoulders. "What happened to us was not your fault and don't you ever think otherwise. Now you won't remember much of this when you wake up but I want you to try to remember that no matter what, you are loved. But you have a fight on your hands, a bigger one than you know. Not just Alan and the fight to be with Spencer. A bigger one that you have to be strong for."
"What do you mean?" I'm starting to get scared at my aunts words.
"I can't say much, but you need to be strong because it's going to take a lot out of you. You can't do this one alone, you have to let your team in, let them help you. And remember you are strong enough to get through whatever happens." Auntie Sarah says before pulling me into yet another hug.
"Alannah?" I hear Spencer call my name, I look over to see him standing up he looks worried. "Can I get a Doctor in here quick?" He shouts, I realise why he was so worried, the heart monitor was going crazy.
"We have to go now sweet heart, but remember, you are strong, strong enough to get through what's coming, you have to fight for your family. Be strong sweet heart." Auntie Sarah's grip on me disappears. I look away from the bed to see her but she's not there. I look around for Uncle Danny but he's gone as well.
"No wait, come back, please. What did you mean I have to fight? Please I need to know more." I cry out, begging for someone to come back.
"Alannah please don't do this to me, come on, fight!" Spencer cries as Doctors and nurses flood into the room.
"What's going on?" I cry out as I realise what was happening in the room. I look to see people checking the machines and shouting different commands at one another.
"What's wrong with her?" Spencer begs.
"Sir, you have to leave." A nurse says, her tone stern but Spencer wasn't going anywhere.
"No, I need to know what's happening, someone tell me what's going on." Spencer demands. He's starting to get angry at the lack of information being given to him.
"Sir please let us do our jobs." The nurse tries to plead with him.
"No I need to see her. Alannah, wake up, please Alannah don't do this." Spencer begs.
"Spencer please, I don't know what to do. Please someone help me." I beg as Spencer is dragged out of the room by two male nurses. "No please don't take him away. Someone please help, I don't know what to do."
"We need to get her stats back before her heart stops again." A Doctor orders before spouting more medical terms, but there's something strange happening, the room is starting to disappear, everything is starting to turn black, I don't know what I'm meant to do.
"I don't want to go yet, please, what am I meant to do?" I beg as fall to my knees as the last of the room turns into blackness...
