an hour had passed since luke had first arrived at the hospital.
an hour of him sitting idly next to her bed, holding her hand tightly and not even daring to tear his eyes away from her form.
luca had arrived a couple minutes ago, though he just entered the room, saw lexie, and left just as fast.
trevor hadn't come back either and jack had left to pick up quinn from the airport.
overall, it was a shitty time.
luke had tears falling down his eyes consistently, and he had given up a long time ago in wiping them away.
"you gotta wake up f'me. it's your birthday already and you gotta wake up so i can you give you your birthday kiss, like i promised" he whispered softly, bringing her hand up with his and kissing the back of it carefully "please wake up baby, please. i love you so much and i wanted to wait to tell you that but- please" he pleaded in the most pathetic way he had ever heard himself be.
the doctors hadn't said anything to him yet but he knew it wasn't a good sign that she had been unconscious for that long. she had to wake up soon, for his sake.
thankfully, it seemed the universe didn't hate him that much since he felt a gentle squeeze in his hand. it was barely noticeable to be honest, too weak to really call his attention but the second he felt it his eyes widened.
"lexie?" he whispered almost scared. scared that it had been a figment of his imagination but it wasn't. when he saw lexie start to open her eyes tiredly he swore his own eyes started to water even more "oh my god. trevor!" luke yelled over his shoulder as he leaned forwards to press a button on the wall, all without letting go of her hand ever.
"what happened?" trevor yelped as he burst into the room looking all disheveled and worried, though it quickly transformed to pure fucking relief "oh god"
"i pressed the button thingy, oh my god lexie" luke smiled widely with tears still falling from his eyes while trevor leaped to her other side with a matching tearful grin "hi baby"
lexie was confused, they could tell by the expression on her face. she wasn't really processing anything other than the fact that there was something uncomfortable on her throat that was making her start to choke "relax, bug. it's okay" trevor said comfortingly, rubbing a couple stray hairs that had fallen over her eyes away.
"good evening, i'm doctor abrams. i see you've woken up miss zegras" a young male doctor said as he walked in the room while putting on some gloves "okay, it seems like you can breathe on your own so we'll remove the tube" he said softly, a comforting look in his eyes that made lexie feel a little less scared, plus the feeling of luke's hand on hers.
